flo06 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 The seller (sword on consignment) is open for reasonable offers... Quote
manfrommagnum Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 This is a great deal for a buyer. I just paid more for something similar made a few years ago....and this has koshiare and is antique! Quote
flo06 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Posted June 22, 2016 Thank you Michael for your comment. Yes, it's really a great deal. The seller bought it 830 000 yen in Japan a few years ago (bill for proof). He needs money and hopes a quick sale. That's why he sells it at a price sold off... 1 Quote

flo06 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Posted October 7, 2016 Nobody for this interesting package ? This sword was bought 830,000 yen a few years ago ! (As proof a purchase invoice from the shop Aoi Art) Really a bargain price. Quote

flo06 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Posted March 26, 2017 Thank you for your kind words Jeremiah. To be honest, I don't understand why this sword isn't already sold. It's really a great deal at that price. Quote
Brian Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Agree with you...EU members should take note. Nice koshirae too. Quote
Verity Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Well I'd be eyeing this more closely if I just had not committed to a different piece. Quote
Hoshi Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 It's very nice, its close to the price of making the koshirae and a touch up polish... A true bargain. Quote
flo06 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Posted April 4, 2017 Thank you very much for your comments Brian, Adam and Chris. Quote
