PxN13 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 I've been periodically hunting swords on ebay for the past couple of years but this is the first time I've seen something this crazy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Samurai-Katana-authentic-Demascus-Wakizashi-Tigers-Saya-Signed-Blade/254855806750?hash=item3b5696ff1e:g:J4kAAOSwdNpgG0ZR 2 Quote

Brian Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 That is about the largest pile of horse manure eBay listing that I have ever seen. Is he mentally ill or just a crook? How does someone talking such bull get an eBay rating of 1881?? Quote
Geraint Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 Oh no! He doesn't ship to the UK! What a tragedy, now my collection will never be complete. All the best. 1 2 Quote

Spartancrest Posted February 5, 2021 Report Posted February 5, 2021 I bough a 'better fake' if there is such a thing, same 'watered steel' and kanji in the wrong area, at my local market for $50 as a wall hanger - and mine says it was made in 1643 on the blade. It is alright for cutting weeds so its not entirely a waste of money. What does 'Unfurtunetly' mean anyway! Quote

DirkO Posted February 5, 2021 Report Posted February 5, 2021 https://www.iganinja.jp/?page_id=837 it exists, although just a tourist trap Quote
16k Posted February 5, 2021 Report Posted February 5, 2021 Indeed it does, that’s why this guy is a crook. He mixes real facts with his fantasy story. He knows what he’s doing: look for a fool with money to part. Quote
charlie1 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Broken screen on my phone and it still looks horrible 1 Quote
drb 1643 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Charlie, how can you resist with the tigers all over it! Tom Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted February 14, 2021 Report Posted February 14, 2021 Mornin' Oyabun I know it says FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!! But he will not ship to the UK. I'll have to make do with the 4,000 sets of original Daimyo Armour worn by Tokugawa Iyeyasu, when he was helping out the Spartans at Thermopylae, that I was recently offered in an email, from Lord Chief Justice Michael Mainwaring V.C. , of The Lord Chief Justices' Palace, 131a Omugo Avenue, Lagos, Nigeria. As I only need one suit, would anyone like to take the remaining 3,999 off my hands for a reasonable price? PS, Any Yoruba Speakers on the Board will understand the address. 1 2 Quote

Wayben Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 That's the canned feedback that a seller gives a buyer, since you can't give buyers negative feedback any more. You have to click on feedback as a seller up above to see all the makeup, pillow cases, and wallets that he normally sells. Quote
AntiquarianCat Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 It seems the listing ended. I genuinely hope someone didn’t buy that nightmare. 1 Quote
Wayben Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 It says it was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing, lol. Quote
Rich S Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 Yes, the error was in listing it at all. Rich Quote
