I can't say where, since it's against the rules but I can't resist pointing out that I noticed today that someone is currently committed at an online auction for one of these to the tune of €700 (plus auction fee), with two more days of bidding left to go.

It's a bit more presentable than the one in this thread, but nevertheless.

In the end some poor sod (who apparently is not following these boards) paid €1101 plus 9% auction fee and shipping for a Shaver Cool saber.

If you're reading this and this is now your sword, my condolences.

Sad to see these kinds of things still happening. Was it a professional auction company or just an eBay style auction?

Catawiki.

It is pitiful, especially when the auction houses or antiques sellers are aware, but choose to play dumb when it comes to the item's authenticity. And not just swords. There are several 'reputable' sites listing fire axes, Boy Scout hatchets, soldier's side axes and even common tool hatchets as boarding axes for hefty sums. It's criminal...
