Logan09 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Authentic-Signed-Japanese-Wakizashi-Sword-Mokume-Laminated-Blade-NR/352624512242 I sure have very strong doubts about this. Anyone else feel the same. The bidders sure seem confident. Quote
Brian Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Ugh.Who wants to tell him?And what is the bet the reply is an indignant refusal to listen to reason? Quote
Geraint Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Dear Logan. Just to be clear you are absolutely right, this is a Chinese fake, Brian is referencing the seller in his reply. All the best. Quote
vajo Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Bad chinese blade (or from where ever). Not a good one. Quote
raaay Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 The good news is he may not ship to the Uk 1 Quote
Logan09 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Posted March 27, 2019 I messaged them yesterday. They said "We stand by the authenticity of this item, please show us fakes of the same one" So I sent them three links to swords with the same characteristics. Never heard back. 1 Quote

16k Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 Ouch! This blade looks even more fake than Kim Kardashian’s....teeth! 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 I messaged them yesterday. They said "We stand by the authenticity of this item, please show us fakes of the same one" So I sent them three links to swords with the same characteristics. Never heard back. Send him a link to this sword. Quote
Mister Gunto Posted March 28, 2019 Report Posted March 28, 2019 Why do I have a feeling that the seller's "100% money-back gaurantee" is about authentic as that sword? Quote
Logan09 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Posted March 28, 2019 They closed the auction and sent me an email thanking me for the links. I guess there are still a few honest people out there... 2 Quote
zook Posted March 28, 2019 Report Posted March 28, 2019 Well, I often try to be an "ebay crusader" ...even though it's 90% a waste of time. I also told the seller it's a fake. I said there are discussions in forums on the item and one can be rest assured there is no authenticity to stand by. I got this note from the seller today: "Thank you! We have canceled it! Lindsey" Hmm... perhaps this can be chalked up as a small win for the Nihinto team? At least we may have saved a buyer. dps 3 Quote
zook Posted March 28, 2019 Report Posted March 28, 2019 Oops - Logan beat me to it ... but I got a note as well. Quote
sbf Posted March 28, 2019 Report Posted March 28, 2019 Why do I have a feeling that the seller's "100% money-back gaurantee" is about authentic as that sword? I too sent a note. I have bought from this seller and found their service to be outstanding. They once did some nice follow up research for me. They always have quality items so I was surprised to see their reluctance to cancel the auction. Ultimately they did cancel it, which was what I expected. Of course the prodding from our members is what did it, but it’s always nice to see someone do the right thing. A small victory for the good guys! Steve 1 Quote
Brian Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 A seller who does listen to advice and is prepared to pull a listing is ok in my book, kudos to him. 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 That's a refreshing ending, I will note the seller for any future listings. 1 Quote
