Hi corvuscorax,

You need to please sign all posts with a name.

I hope I am not coming across as rude or difficult, but I have some problems with discussing a sword that has been purchased but not paid for yet. I think we either need to ask before we buy, or after. But there is a risk of giving opinions on a reserved sword and then having the buyer back out of the deal, leaving an unhappy seller. Hope you can understand this.

I am happy to open this up for discussion if either the payment is completed and it is fully yours...or if the seller lets me know it is ok to discuss it before payment is fully made and while it is reserved. Sound fair? Pm or email me if either of these are done, and I am happy to allow comments after that.

 

Regards,

Brian

In the interests of openness and a fair and transparent sale, the seller has given permission to discuss the sword, as he feels he has nothing to hide, and as an inexpensive wakizashi, it is worth the effort for the sale. So feel free to give opinions bearing in mind this isn't a $2500 sword that is supposed to be a Juyo condidate.

 

Regards,

Brian

 

Edit: Please note that I don't discourage the discussing of any items for sale, it was purely the fact that once an item has been "sold" and is awaiting payment, I don't think that is the time to start asking for opinions. That should be done before the sale or afterwards once payment is made. This doesn't affect any standard discussions we usually have here. Glad to see the possible buyer and seller are working together here.

I want to say thanks to the seller and to Brian for making this discussion possible.

Also, I want to apologize to the seller for my quick and wrong interpretation of the facts.

Sorry, J. I own you one.

 

So, comments are welcome on this inexpensive wak. It is like Brian said not a +$2500 sword, but still important to me to hear some opinions.

 

 

Thanks in advance.
