Pics sent. Thanks again, Stephen. Good luck with the mess I sent you.

I can't think of anyway you could be more helpful. Thank you so much! I'll get them and whisper you to get your email address. Thanks again neighbor.

Nevermind. Most of the pics I captured aren't worth saving anyway. I'm wasting your time.

Ok. I don't understand why the pics I've just taken I can't find. *sigh* I hate to ask but please. Can someone call me and help me download the pics to my computer? I hate asking for help but for this... I don't have any choice.

Hang in guys. I'm not going to post anything else until I get shots that work. With Brians instructions I'm slowly getting better images. Need a better light source though. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you Brian! As always you're a life saver. I'll retake the pics as soon as I can. For now the best offer is 630.00 guys. And I'm guessing it will be for a few hours.. I HAVE to get some sleep. And with heavy heart I announce I'll probably have to go all in with my wak as well. Gotta have some noodle money. This is a great buy but I know a lot of you are here just to help me do better. God I love this place. Sincerely. Thanks guys.

Stephen? What is this... sober you speak of? Seriously thank you and Brian. I can't really take them to someone else. I'm pretty much all I have. I should shoot them closer? More pics at higher resolution? Iphone 5 is all I have. Anyway, sober or not I HAVE to sleep. Please leave me some suggestions guys. Though I think the ones you've already given me are great ones. Anyway, happy sleepy time now. Back in 3 or 4 hours.

Thanks Mr. Hudson. As with anything it looks a LOT better in hand. It deserves a true Soshu era saya. But the saya it has isn't so bad! God I hate the thought of gettlng rid of it. Meh. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

You did? Mine is 479-790-5125. If any of you have questions feel free to call me! Seriously guys, call me! Hell I'd like to hear from some of you.

Stephen? Really? *sigh* I'm doing my best friend I really am.

So let me try this again. Oh the Hawleys Volume 1, blue 1966 price drop to 150.00 SOLD

He's seeing my gimei Sa probably. *mutter* Got the pics why can't I post 'em???

Wow! Thanks Brian! I miss that guy but that's not this Soshu. Got pics I can't upload and it's starting to MOCK me! *grin* I'll figure it out. I always do but all this help is just proof once more that this is the best board EVER!

Thls is getting silly. I'm sorry guys. It's a great sword. I'm just to ignorant to upload the pics.

I have the pics! I can't past them into the box! I am ashamed.

Stephen! Help me!

Anyone who buys the Hawleys and the Soshu I never wanted to sell gets a ten percent discount that you donate to the NMB. Good for all of us.

Hawleys price drop Volume 1 (c'mon. you know that's the one you want anyway.) Blue 1966 Volume 1 some corrections in margins. 225.00 This is more than fair guys. The sword will be listed seperately. Or, if you want to roll the dice, I'll sell it sight unseen for 700.00. Sold to me by a very knowledgeable member for a kind 900.00. *Take your chance now or bid against the madding horde. I'm starting the pics for the sword. No luck uploading 'em from my iphone yet but I'll get it. I always do...

Hawleys price drop to 250.00. Yeah it shortens the list considerably Donny. Course you could send me Western Union or Cash. *grin* But if I was you I wouldn't. I mean I am heading to China and all...

Thanks Ed. I've used the ancient method of pen and paper to keep this straight.

Would the person who ordered the Connoiseurs please PM me? I'm afraid I thought I sold it when I didn't... Yes. I'm confused. I'll wait the weekend before I re-list it. But I do need the money quickly and I can't find the pm from the person I thought was buying it. Sorry for all the confusion!

Hey thanks Stephen! Very kind of you. Yes I've got a job waiting in China so every penny counts. I've had several people whisper me that they believe they should be able to buy it at my original asking price... contingent on them seeing the photos of course. I tried to mollify one before I read the others so with deepest regrets to that one person, sorry. Everyone should get a shot. I believe a 3 day auction is fair and I'll set the start at 550.00 and who knows? After seeing my lousy photos no one may want it. Though I doubt it. Thanks Brian & Stephen for all your input. Now as to the Hawley. It is the blue volume 1 from 1966. Is 275.00 a fair price?

Markus book is sold. All that's left is The Hawleys. Marked down to 325.00. *sigh* I'll never get all these things back... Yes, I'll have the Katana out there as soon as I can pick it up and get some mediocre pics of it. I'll make a new thread for it and I guess make it a 48 hour auction. I've had so much interest and I want to be fair... Brian? Other wise people? How should I handle it?

Sorry Stephen san. PM Sent

Hawley Japanese Sword Smith Volume I 1966. Binding good no missing pages. Some notes and corrections in the margins. $350.00 or best offer by 9-28-2015 The Connoisseur's Book Of Japanese Swords. Excellent condition no dust jacket. $100.00 or best offer by 9-28-2015 ON HOLD Encyclopedia of Japanese Swords; Marcus Sesko 1st Edition(?) Paperback $40.00 or best offer by 9-28-2015 "Joke" offers that are ridiculously low will, of course, be ingored. I realize most of you will have these in your library but here's a chance to pick them up on the cheap and make a few bucks (maybe even from me!) down the road. Do to an ongoing dispute with paypaly I CAN NOT accept payment through them. I'll need either a money order, western union or personal check will be fine.You're item will be shipped within 24 hours clearance of payment and while I will cover shipping costs in the continental US a few extra bucks to help cover it would help a brother out. I'll be posting a Soshu katana soon and while I paid $900.00 for it a couple of years ago I'll take a beating on that as well and sell it for $550.00. It's in full shira but mismatched. The menuki are an intriguing gold color and nicely done. And the blade is typical Soshu work. I purchased it from a board member who knows a lot more than I ever will. I'll post images when the time comes to post it. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks friends,
