Iaito for sale

[dan keup]

DJTUCSON a fellow e- budo board member has asked me to post his iaito for sale it is a tozando model, the most basic one with the crane tsuba, 2.35 is the size. There are two minor nics in the blade.
The saya has been refinished in a bombay mahagony over black. This iaito is still quite servicable. Nice tight tsuka-ito. Dragonfly menuki, no loose parts. He is looking for $100.00/obo. I will try to post pictures tonight. If you have any questions pm me or djtucson.

I wish I had known of this when I was out there last weekend! I have been meaning to pick up another dojo loaner iaito and would probably have bought it while I was there if I'd known. That's kinda the way my luck has been going so far this year! :)

Let me know if you don't get any takers on it and maybe we can work something out for me to pick it up in April!

Cheers,

[dan keup]

This iaito was in the trunk, in the car, parked next to yours at testing the whole time. I can't believe we missed it by that close.
I will talk to Dave and see what he wants to do, but I think selling this one is replacing money from the new one he bought this last week.


Congratulations again on nidan.

[DJ Tucson]

Sorry for the delay

I would like to buy this. Do you take paypal?

[G. Zepeda]

Thanks Dave,
for all of those that missed this, sorry, but it's mine, now!

Oh, nice, I had agreed to buy it over a week ago. Was waiting for DJ to give me his address to send a check, but he kept blowing me off. Could have told me you were not going to sell it to me.

Good doing business with you DJ.

[dan keup]

He has been very busy with kids b day and school, and took the easiest purchase for him. Sorry.

[DJ Tucson]

Jeff I am sorry, but I offered it to Gil before I put it on here. He came up with the money and decided he wanted it.

I told him he had first crack at a good deal. I should have called you to let you know, sorry. If I hear of a good deal I will send it your way.

[caleqs]

Please guys, let's take a look at what really happened. If this other deal was in the works so early, I should have told me as much. So I don't really care to hear excuses as they are empty.

I inquired on 2/3 if it was still for sale. I was told on 2/4 by Dan that it was. DJ also told me it was for sale on 2/4, but that he didn't use paypal, but would try to set it up and would pre-ship to me with a recommendation from an e-budo member. I sent him shipping instructions and asked for an address to send payment. I felt then that the deal was done. I called the number I was told to call to set this up and was told by Dan that he'd ask DJ to call me. I never heard from him. So I asked on 2/7 if this was still for sale. DJ wrote me a note and told me it was his son's bday and he'd call me the next day. I never heard a word from him until I see on the boards that he's sold it to someone else.

Hey, I don't care one way or another, but don't make empty excuses for clearly not being upfront with me and for leading me on.

I do, however, accept you apologies DJ.

[DJ Tucson]

Leading you on no one was getting laid here.

Sorry bad attempt at humar:my apology is Sincere. I am very sorry and I agree with everything you said. I should have call asap!

[caleqs]

Thanks DJ, I appreciate your sincerity.
