If you scroll down to the bottom of my book list, past current in stock items, you’ll find books marked, “Sold but Available.” I often can get other copies of these books and it used to be that the other copy cost less than the sold copy did; not so much any more. As I have been lowering prices I have taken many of them below my replacement cost. Just today a customer asked for one of the sold but available books. It was hardbound with slipcase from the Sano Museum in Japan, priced on my site at $80. Best I could find for him was a softbound copy for $180. See something interesting that has sold? Ask me about it and I’ll tell you what I can do. Even if it’s a book I’ve never sold; chances are good I can find it for you. But don’t be surprised if you wish you had bought the copy on my site that cost less Don’t overlook the button for Tsuba & Kodogu Over $1,000. Some really fine pieces there, including a 1st rate Kenjo tsuba that I’m quite proud of.

I need inventory; I’m looking for books, swords, and fittings. Take a look at your bookshelf. Is there a book you haven’t opened in years? Maybe there are some tsuba you’d like to turn into cash so you can buy something special. Whatever; if you have something to sell I’m interested. perhaps there’s something on my site you’d like to own and we can work a trade. I also take quality items on consignment. Talk to me.

Along those lines, I’m trying to put together a complete set of the NBTHK’s English edition of “Token Bijutsu”. If you have loose issues you no longer need, I want them.

This just in from a customer: “Second package came in today. Looks like it’s been to hell and back but books are perfect. Your packing is really some of the best I’ve ever seen, I wish more people cared about that.” Thank you; I try.

I’ve had this site for nearly 10 years now and you folks have been wonderful to deal with. I’ve had no problems I didn’t create myself. My customers are the greatest;

Thank you, Grey
