Surely I will keep an eye at this book auction!

I'm not big fan of Gunto but few nice pieces + good book won't hurt.

 

BTW - Any decent Kai-Gunto for sale around?

Oyabun,

experience taught me auction will not bring any " action " till the last 5 minutes ( those pesky snipers ). More watchers than actual bidders.

An alternative way is to do the buy it now with make offers feature ( set auto reject for nonsensical offer).

You gave up the " no limit up side " but you won't take a " bath " either ( like my fisherman with ko-gatana kozuka ).

 

With usd ( quoting Reagan, " there he goes again...." ) approaching American peso status, I am surprise there aren't any more European buyers.
