Axe lost on e-bay

[kronckew]

just to see how far their silly game goes, i applied for paypals pre-pay visa card, it arrived, i've registered it as my credit card, and was able to bid on an item. i can bid again.

the fun bit being that you can apply for a pre-pay card at 16 which makes a mockery of their reasoning that it's needed to prove you are 18. i think it's a scam of some sort... i've loaded £10 on it, they took £4.95 for their 'fee', and i've got £5.05 left to buy whatever i want. i think i'll frame it and use it to buy the real excaliber when it's found, can't be more than that balance. ebay

anyhow, bidding on a weapon still brings up a confirmation screen, wonder if my sniper software will handle it.

this seems to be only an ebay uk thing.


its never happened to me. (USA)

Just checking. Made a bid on this, online. It went through. So set a sniper bid for later and it worked also. Guess I am ok with ebay UK.

Hope this is an interesting piece.

yup,

now that i've registered a credit card and thus can prove i'm over 16, even my sniper is working again. that hembrug is of course the modification the japanese made to captured original dutch klewangs by shortening it and cutting away the handguard. i understand they modified about 1500 for their NCO's, the full one we've discussed here before, like mine:


unfortunately, i didn't win any of the items i sniped

Kronckew,

Your picture did not show up. I'll make a post on the Hembrug when it gets home. Would like to know more. Is there a link to a previous post?

some guy named marsh started this one

(pics are showing up for me)

here it is from another source

{picture removed, redundant )

another more recent thread on the book written about them which is also fascinating. Linky

Thanks. I KNEW I had seen one of them somewhere!

Pics now working for me also! I thought that you had one like my recent eBay acquisition that had been cut down.
