I agree. After looking at the site, I noticed references to 3 other business names from their testimonials and their "about us" (SwordCorp, SouthwestBlades and Kingdom of Swords).

a seller that changes names often + too good to be true prices = suspicious

Buyer beware. I hope you guys get your purchases and they are not junk.

I just lost 20 bucks. I am going to try my credit card co and see if they can stop payment. If not, Let's write the BBB better business bureau. http://www.bbb.org/

Ok update! I just called my credit card and what they told me was that the 20 bucks did NOT even go through. If it does on my next statment, I have 60 days to dispute. The rep also added, if I did not receive the item the amount can be dropped from my statement.
If you called using a credit card, call and see if it actually made it on your account. You might be able to dispute it it if actually did go through.
