Re: Holp crap - what a sale!!!
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).Princess Diana wrote:The prices are to low, there is something up with this site. It to good to be true!
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.

Re: Holp crap - what a sale!!!
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.

Any news on this? Anyone see their items yet? I wish this was true. I'd LOVE a Rurouni Kenshin reverse blade katana for $20...
