Advice
on
Polishing
My Advice:
Find the quality of polish you
admire. Ask the owner who polished
that sword and contact that
polisher directly. NEVER
have a dealer or go between take
your sword for polish. They charge
a large percentage and contract
for cheap work.
Rule:
Pay as little as possible for a
sword - but always pay as much as
possible for quality polish. You
do not want to have poor polish
work.
Therefore never
use a dealer for a go-between;
always write the actual polisher
and send your sword to that
person, yourself. |

Note
on Care of Books
| With
books, one mar or fingerprint to
the ink of the pictures - one
crease or crush to a page - any
difference from brand-new, creates
value loss and permanently sets
the book back. Just as chips in a
blade - or chips in the lacquer
create value loss. It is overt
damage.
"Normal
use" is damage to books and do
not compete with Perfect
Condition.

Selling
before
Buying
My Advice:
They will sell when they sell. They
really will. They'll sell
tomorrow - or maybe within the
year.
How will it
feel, looking back, if your sale
items sell in a month - or in a
year and half?
Once sold,
they are gone and not before.
Generally,
it doesn't matter - only that
they sold at some point and that
you didn't let a thing you
wanted, get away.
Otherwise,
you end up with the things that
didn't sell.
