Jean Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Shan, You know the risk of buying from e-bay, don't complain. Even if it's Christmas time, stop believing in SC There is a very good and honest dealer on e-bay with some times good to fantastic stuff: Muramasa III. Free advertising, Milt :D :D Quote
Marius Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 I bid $350 on what i thought was a period piece or "an old finely carved ,high grade item" (even if tourist targetted).what i got was something knocked up in a sweat shop in thailand or Hong Kong around last week.(or similar) Shan, have you looked at his high-resolution pictures? They are always so detailed that you should be able to tell Chinese crap from the real thing... Quote
shan Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Strangely the high res images Link did not work on this particular sale. Anyway its old news now. :D Someone liked it so i was lucky to sell it on and get my stake back. I will be more careful in future. Happy Xmas and new Year to all shan Quote
