e-bay tsuba's...

[huntershooter]

Seller on e-bay (hiromitsu-Japan) is listing a number of tsuba's. Item #110205558828 (kiku) looks virtually new to my unsophisticated eye.

Prices seem high.

Any thoughts?

Hi Todd, I have never dealt with them but accede that prices are up there. Always museum quality they say. John

Hi,

 

I'd rather we discuss items if possible than prices on current auctions. Just seems like we can easily influence buyers, and what is high to one person is cheap to another. We can discuss the quality and features..and occasionally the price if it is a major issue, but I would rather we focus on the items themselves. Not a rule, just a suggestion if we want sellers to accept and value the forum.

Btw..those prices do seem average prices to me in Japan. When I was there, it is hard to find even mediocre tsuba under around $300-400 in shops generally speaking.
