Has anyone ever bought from this person?... he has the musashi shinken by hanwei at i think 370 where its four hundred the few places that have it... that price would be much easier for me to swing but i'm weary of buying swords on ebay. a lot of factory seconds tend to up there hence why you can usually get em cheaper i think. so i was wondering if anyone has dealt with this person.

Just make sure his shipping fees arent to high.some times you can save money on a sword only to have some jacked up shipping charges make it cost more than if you bought it somewhere else and didnt have to pay shipping fees at all.Also make sure his feedback is good.

Check with fellow forumite wiwingti. He is a hanwei dealer and can give you the lowdown. I'd be wary of ebay dealers, most of the time there is a reason for the price.

Dude, check their rating on ebay, it is at 100%. I go to the shop often and see the way they package the merchandise, you won't be disappointed. Sean and Rodney are great, honest and cool guys. I spent a lot of money there

Feedback is one indicator of you can use the guage an Ebay merchent, but I think you were right to ask if anyone had delt with them before. Ebay is murky waters, you must tread carefully to find the pearls. However, with the feedback plus Franco's ringing endorsment, you are most likely safe. Looks like they sell mostly pretty looking SLO's as far as swords go threw their Ebay store... with a few true swords being offered. Good luck!

I dont like Thi Chi Swords. Chinese Broadswords are cool though. Probably wont get that one since I believe it is blunt, but Hanwei has a nice one for 150 I an pick up some day. There are a few other swords that are first in line to be purchased.
