Quite a bargain, but I'm betting most folks here are not very wealthy, or cant afford a big cash drop like that.  Just guessing.  You seem to have 4 or 5 traditionally made blades there (I like function over form, personally), which should interest most collectors here I guess.  Maybe posting more details about the blades, for those that aren't at all familiar with your collection, will incite more interest.  I wonder, what is the impetus to part with the whole collection?  changing focus? need money? upgrade? It seems to be quite an impressive collection that took many years to accumulate, and is likely worth WAY more than $8300 (no idea about the military swords though, as that isn't my area of collecting.  Got 2 amazing police swords though!).  You are at least saving one blade that you can use to protect the home (worst case) and enjoy your disease (nihonto fever) with???
