Re: Japanese swords - stay off ebay! Buy from a reputable dealer.
I've been a student of Nihonto for about 25 years, but haven't bought
a sword in close to 3 years since I think prices have gone totally insane.
There is a list of close to 200 Japanese swords sites on my links pages.
Some other info there you may also find useful.
