Possible scam

[John C]

Came across this today - a website selling komongo and sohei-swords (Matt) stuff at half price. I confirmed with Matt this is not authorized by him. Probably using his auction information without permission.

Sorry if this has been covered before but just came across it.

Yes, this is for sale by seller 'dinge79' on ebay for $1,337.  So something fishy is going on.

The title and pictures of the auction are pulled word-for-word directly from the original auction. It seems all they are doing is changing the price to half off and saying "11 available".

Nothing strange about other than outright fraud.

Russia wouldn't allow the sale and export of any weapons - including swords.

It needs them to arm the 15 and 80 year olds it will draft to fight Ukraine.
