Hermes Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I could have clicked the Buy it Now button, the auction lasted around 6 hours, now i would like to know if i missed out on a great deal or not? The seller only had 20 feedbacks and no sales, i emailed him for more pictures with two questions with no answer, so i didn't feel right about clicking that button. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=017 James Quote
Brian Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Let's see... Almost no pics of the blade. No hada or hamon pics shown. A fuchi that looks like some of the repros I have seen (unless closer shots would have shown differently) and someone with no selling history and minimal buying history from sword guys. Nah..I don't think so from what was shown. I saw that one early on, but passed for those reasons. Also the mekugi ana seems offset to the point that there must have been some reshaping at some stage possibly. Maybe better pics would have shown it differently, but from what I could see it was a definite no-go. Just my 2c. Brian Quote
Mike Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Hi, at first glance looks nice, but after inspecting the sugata looks odd, no photo of machi area and the blade as well, nakago not so nice, so I believe you saved your money. Mike Quote
Hermes Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks guys, i appreciate your advice, i feel better knowing i was most likely right to not click that button. Regards, James Quote

Hermes Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Posted April 23, 2008 Cheers Adrian, love to see a fresh polished blade next to papers for sure. :D James Quote
