YOJIMBO Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 It's really crazy, they'll never meet again Mainly out of principle, I did not participate in the auction. The seller hoped for more profit, the opposite is true. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o466540567?u= https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k541037255 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q438974602 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d508575695 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k542223987 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m484700525 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q443638685 1 Quote
Shogun8 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 Indeed, Simon. It's unfortunate that this happens all the time on Yahoo. Quote
uwe Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 It’s a real shame and I sometimes would like to “talk” to those sellers..... Quote
Adamt Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 Such a shame... I couldn’t see a kabuto pictures but the rest would have been magnificent as a set. so much better items to buy on yahoo but I just can’t really work it all out so I just stick to eBay 😞 Quote
Luc T Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 This is insane! I never bid on such pieces. One day they will understand that a matching full suit is worth more than the sum of the pieces. 1 Quote

Laurent in France Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Terrible situation again, for a nice historic set ! sometimes i think few sellers use a 2nd or 3rd count for a quick sell ....money .....like a ghost seller.... Quote
uwe Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 This unholy practice goes for a while on the market and seems to become more and more common in certain dealer circles. They “destroy” not only the armor itself, but also the whole historical context of the piece. All for the sake of (little more) profit.... 1 Quote
Laurent in France Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 Few same sellers every years at auction sold set in this puzzle way . So certainly the sellers cutting the historic samurai sets for money are known by others sellers ...afraid to say no one can do anything ... Quote
YOJIMBO Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Posted April 13, 2021 until now, i saw it only by Japanese dealers ( the opposite side of theatrical courtesy ) Quote
