7328007349 on ebay. seller and buyer have left feedbacks already, so everything is ok, which means we all must go to the top of the highest towers in our towns, and jump down to ground from there. what kind of presentation is this?? "19 century swords"??!!

Top class samples of Ottoman 18th c. coralled and court daggers! Any single one of them should have two times the total price. if the lottery hit any among the forumites, biggest congratulations to him!

Artzi was smart as usual. Congratulations!
Hope he shows them here in detail.

Not oriental-arms. buyer is oriental-art from US. His last auction seems in 2000. You think they are same?

Too early in the morning, well before my IV coffee.

Very odd listing.

You will see that there is no dates and times for when the item was listed or purchased. Perhaps this was an eBay Store type of transaction, but I think it should still show the dates and times for listing and purchase.

Maybe some of our Forumites who are experienced eBay sellers could enlighten us about what transpired with this sale.

the item was, most probably, listed as a regional listing - an option for sellers who intend to attract local or same area buyers. some sellers do this because it is free - ebay does not charge sellers fees.

the item does get the usual ebay worldwide visibility, however there are limitations like: the number of pictures a seller can upload; and, absence of the time and date of auction once it ended, among others.

if you do a seller search on the seller(http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=3&completed=1), this item will be shown as among the items the seller has previously sold. However, if you do a Completed Listings search on the words "19 century swords," this item will not show up.

also, it can be noticed on the seller search option, the item was sold on the day it was listed. probably, the seller and buyer already discussed the trade beforehand but agreed to course it through ebay for security.
