Ooops

I think they have an image in the wrong place and is another item as there are a group of bits in the same lot

 

 

Happy to see there was a mistake in the photo's Grev.  I was at first thinking Damn...were the Chinese producing Fakes that long ago...

Appears to have been a fairly nice looking wakizashi at one time. Oyatsubu same kawa with interesting gold colored menuki. I suspect it would fall under the "relic" category at this point. I can see someone adding it to their collection study piece. Possibly worth a couple  hundred Euros at best. Agree...36% commission is on the high side.

 

Good luck should you decide to bid, I would be curious as to the auction results.

After digging around today I've found the auction

Then notice commission  was 36%. A bit of a stinger

 

 

 

 This why I am so amused when people complain about Ebay and Paypal fees, it's the cost of doing business.

The auction was yesterday and the group went for £360 . Their were was a pre-auction bid of £280

My limit was £350 but it went from £340 to £360 so I did bid £360 and thought it was mine

I checked and it was won by another bidder who I assume pressed their bid in just before me!

Not sure if commission was variable as it stated and added premium of 25%

This was around 95% Chinese so so big prices and only about 3 Japanese items so thought it may be overlooked

So really nothing lost

That coin in the center of the dish is worth a few hundred dollars.  It is a Chinese silver dollar minted in the early 20th century during the late Imperial or early Republic period.  These were minted by province.  That alone would almost have paid for the auction.

What a shame

I quite liked the box and coral necklace but I have a limited budget

 

 

Yes, an interesting little group of items Grev , not to mention the ivory netsuke. However, most of us have a limited budget to varying degrees...

Painful for now, but something most all of us have experienced...
