What books does he read, to obtain such a historical accuracy in his description ;D ;D ;D ;D

If I met this man, I'd probably kick him in the head! Honestly, trying to trick people like is shameful, ridiculous and moronic all in one shot, what a jackass.

That's ridiculous! But, PT Barnum once said. "There's a sucker born every minute" I do hope that these sellers do not get these items sold. I don't like seeing anyone get taken like this.

I received a response from the Ryumon seller from my message of disbelieve of the claims on this sword.
I must now ask him for pictures of the tang.

The reply I got back said that the sword was purchased in an antiques shop in Japan by the seller, and certified chemically...and they had to get a permit from Japan and US to mail it home... Either a giant sucker, or dedicated to the long con... I sent them links to Ryumon swords and to Master Cutlery who owns the Ryumon copyright...

man that is either funny or pathetic, or both. damn i hope nobody actually bids. there are some gullable folks.
look at his feedback closely, he got it built up, probably selling cheap bits of crap really cheap, then waited for enough time for the items not to be shown.
"probably selling cheap bits of crap" lol, much like he is doing now, only that aint a cheap price.
someone should set up a fake ebay account, put a bid in, obviously not pay, and then forget about that account. just to piss him off.
