Mine is 479-790-5125. If any of you have questions feel free to call me! Seriously guys, call me! Hell I'd like to hear from some of you. Quote
Death-Ace Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 Looks gorgeous! Very tempting and kudos to you for giving everyone a chance at it. Hopefully, it'll go to someone who'll appreciate it as much as you did and keep up you and your best friend's hobby. Something tells me this will be going a "bit" higher that 550.00. Imma check my piggy bank lol Quote
bone Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks Mr. Hudson. As with anything it looks a LOT better in hand. It deserves a true Soshu era saya. But the saya it has isn't so bad! God I hate the thought of gettlng rid of it. Meh. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Quote

Also gives it another plus with the leather cover saya. I hear you, though. I've sold some things a good friend or two have given to me, but it was either that or something else. But memories are never ending. Quote
Stephen Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 None of the Nakago shots open for me, there all the same anyway...full shot of nakago and reduce the pix...so they will open... nice fittings ok blade no reason for some one to not pix this up, let me know if i can help in paying dept....they can PP me and ill wait for the sword then send you the Bank MO, dont see a way around that.

Brian Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 How are you going to get even a half decent offer with those pics? Really..if I was you I would send it to someone who can take better pics and describe it a bit. Not one photo in focus. 1 Quote
Stephen Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 pix are so large that they blur out, fittings look ok agree some care needs to be given ...maybe when your sober Quote
bone Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Posted September 29, 2015 Stephen? What is this... sober you speak of? Seriously thank you and Brian. I can't really take them to someone else. I'm pretty much all I have. I should shoot them closer? More pics at higher resolution? Iphone 5 is all I have. Anyway, sober or not I HAVE to sleep. Please leave me some suggestions guys. Though I think the ones you've already given me are great ones. Anyway, happy sleepy time now. Back in 3 or 4 hours. Quote
Brian Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 Steve, Your pics are too big. No need. Just get some decent light, hold the phone steady from at least 60cm away, and take pics. Then, once you get them on your pc, you need to resize them. Max width of about 1200 is more than enough. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/3-how-to-uploadpost-a-pic-or-file-max-widths-sizes-etc/ http://www.picresize.com/ Should be all you need. Don't go too close and make sure there is enough light or they will be blurry. I use an iPhone 5 for decent pics often. Quote
bone Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Posted September 29, 2015 Thank you Brian! As always you're a life saver. I'll retake the pics as soon as I can. For now the best offer is 630.00 guys. And I'm guessing it will be for a few hours.. I HAVE to get some sleep. And with heavy heart I announce I'll probably have to go all in with my wak as well. Gotta have some noodle money. This is a great buy but I know a lot of you are here just to help me do better. God I love this place. Sincerely. Thanks guys. Quote
bone Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Hang in guys. I'm not going to post anything else until I get shots that work. With Brians instructions I'm slowly getting better images. Need a better light source though. Sorry for the delay. Quote
bone Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Ok. I don't understand why the pics I've just taken I can't find. *sigh* I hate to ask but please. Can someone call me and help me download the pics to my computer? I hate asking for help but for this... I don't have any choice. Quote
bone Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Nevermind. Most of the pics I captured aren't worth saving anyway. I'm wasting your time. Quote
Stephen Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 sun shining down there? take em out side, email them to me, and ill reduce and crop and post, how much more can i help??? Quote
