Why would you want to purchase it? What do you see in it that would make you want to put in a bid?

Perhaps if we can identify the traits that attract people to this kind of item, we can address them and learn a bit.

I can see that coming as a freebie on a mounted wakizashi..but would you really want to go out and consciously purchase that? Let's see what draws people to this style of item. Is it purely cheap price, or is there something there that I can't see?

Brian, a good lawyer should only ask questions in front of jury he already knows the answers of. But then again, I suspect you do.

Bryan,

Actually I do not like it at all.....it is part of a tsuka package I was interested in for a waki I am restoring.The part I want is the tsuka which is rewraped and has new same. I already have a tsuba I purchased from a forum member. I will probably put the package one on ebay for resale.

Just cut the middle man and sell it to Milt. He already set the market on it. Maybe you'll catch him on his "good day".
