That's a strange listing.  It's only about $80 shy of retail, says it's brand new and ships from New Glarus, WI.  That's of course where Albion is located.  Are they ebaying their own swords now?

I wish they would go to a model like Albion Europe that is able to stock a good healthy amount of their offerings at any given time.  People are more willing to spend big bucks on a sword when they can have it next week instead of 6 months from now.

edit:  Same seller who sold the Dane a few weeks ago too.  And those are the only 2 items that person has ever listed.  He got good feedback for the Dane.

Both excellent swords as well.

I do wonder. I'm not sure that they'd ebay their swords, but maybe one of the their employees is selling one that they previously got with an employee discount? Who knows. The location could just be coincidence too.

Might be cancelled orders that they're trying to recover costs on? Odd they wouldn't sell it through a company storefront similar to the "moat sale" and such. Curious.

Looks like it got relisted at $1k but it still didn't sell.  Weird about the location but New Glarus probably has more in it than just Albion.  ;)
