Teimei Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 He has withdrawn all his listings for quite some time now. Is he out of Business or is he just not selling on ebay any longer? Eric is one of only a few respectable dealers with high quality items on evilbay. Regards, Quote
Peter Bleed Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Eric was in Chicago, buying rather actively. Peter Quote
Brian Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I am sure he is still going strong, seems a shrewd and well educated buyer and trader. Brian Quote
Mark Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 might be away on vacation or traveling so not listing at present, I am sure he will be back. He is a member here so maybe he will comment Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Eric is still active, but his partner Carmen Altomonte seems to be gone. I bought several blades from Carmen, & had a good experience. Ken Quote
Teimei Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Posted May 20, 2015 Hi gents, glad to hear that he is still around ! I am able to wait (and to raise some funds). Regards, Quote
nihonto1001 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 You might find him at the Orlando Show in June. Quote

lonely panet Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Iv never done business with Eric, but he did have a nice range of items in great condition. but his price's were by no means reasonable. I don't know how many people would go on ebay, looking to spend big dollars, I feel its more a bargin hunt rather than paying retail with out being able to handle the item. I did see that he sold a mint Ishin Mantetsu gunto for $4000 plus, that was a eyebrow raiser. some wanted it bad regards H Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 He does usually set his prices high, but in my experiences, he's always willing to talk about a more inline price and is really good to deal with. Quote

I hope Curran is not reading coz the boys at the local sword club are counting how many pronouns he keeps dropping!!!! ROTFLMAO Quote

Curran Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Pronouns? Geez, what are you: a German or English speaker? Of the 6 languages I can muddle through, only 2 really use pronouns. *sigh*. Yes, I am a native American English speaker guilty of dropping them too often. Leave it to Pete to actually find a name for it. [He is] Very resourceful. 2 Quote
Pete Klein Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Yes, I am, and like a fine Swiss watch, I have many ways to make you, tok! Bwah - ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaah... Quote
Brian Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 I bet Eric is having a chuckle out of this thread. In summary, he's a knowledgeable seller who for the most part is good to deal with, but knows his stuff and good stuff ain't cheap. That about cover it? Stephen.....since you insist on pics...

Stephen Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 update, hes on a five week holiday ....hell be back Quote
bobtail44 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Hes the one who I bought a sword off and he admitted to overlooking the poor condition it was in due to his "high volume of sales", so I had to pay around $100 to ship it back to him for a refund. In my opinion anyone with a bit of self respect would have covered the return shipping. All he tried to do was offer me something else instead. What makes it worse was that I messaged him first to double check its condition, so he didn't even care enough to check it properly. Trent S Quote
Brian Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 As I have said before, every single seller has his hiccups and people who are unhappy with a deal. All I can say is at least he did refund you. Many sellers are not that ethical. But of course everyone needs to use their own discretion. From what i have seen, he has a lot of high end customers, and sells to the people who are not novices. The times I have met him he has been on a mission to look for stock. Not really the chit-chat type Feel odd discussing people here in public like this, but I am sure he is aware of the thread and understands that the community needs a place to get references on those they deal with. I would recommend him if you know your pricing. Brian Quote
