I put the antiqued Bastard up on ebay. If you want, I can take it down, as it doesn't have any bids yet:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/290692406674   (I set the starting bid at $80).

BTW, I went ahead and pulled it down until we figure this out. :)

PM'd about that. There's a UPS store across the street from 5 Guys if we want to check shipping prices and get it boxed tomorrow.

So this one is sold, to Sir Brian. :)

The ebay auctions also completed on the two CAS wood-gripped swords, and the LaForge, so they'll soon be out the door.

I'll be listing the Starfire and the Knight's Edge pieces soon.

And he is enjoying it very much! I do want to get a little file work done on the inside of the scabbard neck to loosen it up just a tad. ;)

Sir Edward, how about that C/H Bastard?  I might  be interested in that.  Oops, never mind, see that it sold already.  I'm thinking of doing the same...vetting a number from my collection, that is.

Yeah, that's basically what it's come down to-- thinning the herd, so to speak. My collection has evolved over the years, and now that I'm focusing more on Albion and A&A and the like, some of my other stuff can go to make some room.

Heh, you know, I've joked about the "age rule" for something like 14 years (keeping the number of swords above your age). All I need to do is sell something like 2 more and I'll be breaking it for the first time since '98.

Granted, I'm counting my training blunts toward the total. If not for that, I'd be breaking it already after this past week's sales. :)

Unless you buy 2 more Albions first, or the "Albion Albion" arrives, and you buy one more. ;)

I meant the cold steel one, but it is probably gone as well!

Oh, lol, yeah that was the first one to go. Someone hit "buy it now" and I shipped it the same day I listed it on ebay.

These two are still available.

The Flamberge (first one) will now be free to a good home if you can pick it up in person. I don't want to ship it.

I'll take $50 for the Claymore. But I'd still prefer not to ship that. If I need to figure out how to ship it, I'll need to add shipping charges.

I will gladly take the flamberge. I thought it went to Leganoth months ago.

If you can hold it a bit until DoK and fit it in the truck-tetris, that would be ideal. If not, I can swing by your house sometime after work - I'm only down that way this week on Thurs, as of now. Let me know whatever is best for you and I'll do so.
