Posted it on eBay since I had no inquiries here over the weekend.

But if it sells here I would end the eBay auction.

 

I need to raise some funds very soon, so I have to move this pice unfortunately.

[Stephen]

Oh OK the price thru me, thought someone was ripping off your images. 

[Heringsdorf]

Had this posted on eBay. The winning bidder flaked out in the end, claiming he entered the wrong amount... Excuses.

 

Well I'm going to offer this now here for only $1450, for the next few days.

[Stephen]

who was it? 1***b....a***a bid 1500, do a second chance offer?

[Heringsdorf]

It was 1***b.

This has happened to me before. I'm annoyed with eBay by now, and would much prefer selling this set here on NMB to a serious collector.

[Stephen]

he sure bid a lot for not knowing what he was bidding

[Heringsdorf]

Right, I reported him with eBay. But in the end what will it help.

[Frank B]

not sure if still for sale, but pm sent

[Vermithrax16]

Hope someone grabbed this!

[Frank B]

For my sake, I hope not!

Very nice set. Ford did a great job.  Looks as though the Green Tokubetsu Kicho papers were fine.

???

I didn't recognize the smith, but it seems he was a decent student of a revered teacher.

 

If Ford worked on these, his workmanship is awesome. I have no problem with it.

I trust him than most others here and in Japan that I know.

[Brian]

Just mentioning the thread is 2 years old. Frank bumped it, so I highly doubt they are still available.

[Frank B]

Contacted the seller, they are sold. Still great to even have seen Ford's great restoration. 

[Brian]

Agree. But since we don't know who the new owner is, will delete this thread tomorrow.

[Frank B]

True, would not be fair to discuss without permission. 

[Bazza]

Ah gee, I feel for you all.  BaZZa bought these and I'm cool with the discussion.  Learnt a bit, thanks Curran.  Brian I'm happy for the thread to remain if you are as it showcases Ford's great work for those who stumble on the 2-year old thread!!!

 

Joyful in Brotherhood,

 

BaZZa.

[Vermithrax16]

Nice BaZZa!

[Brian]

Nice one Bazza. You have always had a good eye. Original post edited and move to Tosogu for future reference.
