Niice find. That's exactly how I'd order it too.  People want to reclaim too much of their original money on used albions though.

Very nice! I got my "knight" on Ebay as well. I think I managed to get it for about $500-600. Clearly this person knows their value. :)

I like the aged finish, I'd prolly get it if I wasnt already getting one, though I prefer older designs.

According to Ebay about $47.00 USD or about 36,34 EUR.

I have the Squire Line version of this sword- and I bought it after handling Sir Edward's Knight, talk about lively.  As far as handling goes, it is probably my favorite sword.  With the exception of the rivet block and elegant guard, its near identical to the SL - minus the aging too.

Since it is a popular sword, he might get what he's asking for it, especially since its been aged.  If he was only asking $600 I suspect it would already be gone.

Yep, the price is worth it. But you're right, it would sell quickly at a cheaper price. Lately Albions move a little slower if you try to get something closer to what they're worth, since people don't have the excess spending money these days like they did a few years ago... down economy and all.

There is also the most advantageous; 'get it much sooner than later' aspect of an Albion ready for shipment!  ;)

If his asking price was a little more reasonable that sword would be half way to my house right now  :D

MyArmoury albion listings sit for a long time when people get greedy on the price. It seems once it's in the $200 off retail range they go quick. Oh, and random thought.... anytime I see someone ask for 3% increase for using paypal is an instant turn off.  The seller should always eat the 3% fee, it seems so petty to put that on the buyer imho.

It's also gotten to the point on ebay that you sometimes have to eat half the shipping (as the seller) if you want things to sell reliably. People don't like seeing large additional charges of any kind.

I offered him $500.00 privately. Good luck with that Sir Ian. :)
