Why this? " You cannot bid on this item. Buyee has already manually reviewed this auction and determined that it is prohibited.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience." 

[Brian]

Because Buyee is a 3rd party proxy bidder and shipper who will not handle swords.
The auction is being viewed through their website/translator, and because it is a sword, they are informing that you cannot purchase it through their service.

Why you call Kelly S.

I thought the blade would bring conversation.

Mouth is hanging open drooling....can't converse with mouth open
That is some SERIOUS militaria there and should fetch huge money. What an amazing package for any wartime collector. Price seems to agree.

So the auction is basically a no go? Who can bid? Says same thing for me but bidding is up to almost $9k
