Rather a lesson in patience  My Tsuba don't sell either. Hard Times.

Some people check in here once a week, some maybe twice or 3 times a month.
You are only trying to cater to those who check in once a day?

That's really a nice sword, especially that bird menuki catches my eye.
But you know, it is always those $$$ problems. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about your pricing- I'm in nowhere to even judge about it- the whole economy is just not good as it used to be.
Potential buyers are also poor right now.

As Peter said, it's just hard hard times.

Assuming it is not papered?  Do you guarantee shinsa to the mei?
