e bay questionable

While we are on the subject.

This listing of a Tadayoshi looks like one I saw a few months ago.

What reminds me is the lack of menuki and the comment by listing

person about its not being there on purpose.

This person has 0 history and refuses escrow and paypal.

Low price at $6000. and no shinsa info.

Thought some of you may have seen this before as well.

See item 180097470601

I had the exact same reaction; sure I'd seen it before. But I can't find it in completed auctions, maybe too long ago. I emailed the seller and asked for a picture of the other side of the tsuba, figuring he'd have to have the sword to provide the picture. His answer: "I am sorry I can't help, I don't have other pictures available, I am travelling with business and I don't have the sword with me."

I smell a rat.

(5 minute break) I just spoke with an ebay rep. They're closing the sale because he required a wire payment to his bank, a banned payment type on ebay.
