Are you a member here sir?

 

anyone dealt with this seller?

[TETSUGENDO]

No, but several interesting items. You know the bay, between them and PP your supposedly  covered...if it is not too much money its worth a flyer.

Asking for price reduction and free shipping, see how he deals now

 

This talks to me

 

 

[TETSUGENDO]

Yes, there is something here, I find the balance between positive and negative space near perfect.  All in all very pleasing, almost theraputic........I realize that may seem weird to some. Good luck!

Very nice tsuba Stephen. Good taste.

[Stephen]

Oh bit of a wonder here..searching thru his tsuba each background is different.

Much like Japaneseswordgallery...not his photo??? Red flag to me.

Anyone want to try image search?

[Greg F]

Hi Stephen seems a littld suspicious to md but i didnt an image searcb on about 5 different items and nothinb else came up.

All his feedback is positive. All 5 star.

[Stephen]

I'm paranoid

[TETSUGENDO]

Sometimes a  little focused paranoia is completely appropriate.

If I see numerous pics with nothing in common (techniques, background, size etc) I am immediately cautious. Not saying that is the case here, but it is good to take care.

[Stephen]

After some due diligence, i think ive found him a member here and a page on FB.

 

now to see if we can work off Ebay 

[TETSUGENDO]

Stephen,

 

Your inexhaustable determination inspires us all!  Ever consider PI work, anyone on the "lam" wouldn't have a chance with you on the case. LOL.

Agreed, really nice one. Hey, get me a price reduction on his Akasaka while your at it. Who am I kidding, it would still be too pricey for me...

[Stephen]

[Stephen]
