Bump the thread every few days or so. Eventually, someone interested might reach out.
The secondhand market's very slow right now - everyone's strapped for cash.
Patience is required.

it might pick up when tax returns start coming in but you are trying to sell a very niche item. no idea what it looks like but i did a ggl search for that sword.
you're gonna basically look for an otaku just like yourself who isn't likely gonna want to spend too much (or they can just go buy a new one outright)
you might also try reddit /swords (i feel like the discord group definitely has no interest in that type of stuff) or katanas. maybe some fb anime groups.
you might also have better luck at a convention. any shop owner is gonna bend you over for what you paid for unless they allow you to sell it on consignment for like 20-30+% of the price

Looking at your listing, it'd help if you clearly put (in text, not just a "look at the photos") ALL the stats that folks on this site prefer to consider.
Total length, in both metric and inches. Blade Length Total weight (accurately measured) and POINT OF BALANCE--which is easy enough to figure out
Not only are these crucial to the type of buyer here, that's going to be especially true for a unique/custom piece.

Unfortunately fantasy customs are always a tough sell here, no matter the quality. The people here are older and tend to lean to very plain historical designs. A few years we had a guy try sell a very nice MasterSword replica from the legend of Zelda, was handmade built to realistic proportions, the dude still had to sell for like a 3rd of what he paid for lol. Your better off looking for One Piece fanpages and seeing if they will buy from you

I remember that sword. I was going to buy it outright, but unfortunately there was a flaw due to miscommunication. I don't blame the seller at all. If only....
