I just noticed that Trevor Absolon (Toraba) has listed a few nice honest samurai armor items on ebay. It has been quite some time ( probably 2yrs at least) since I have seen him do this but the last time he had some items on ebay I got a good deal on at a very fair price. Everything I have purchased from him has been exactly as described. See how he describes his items compared to other samurai armors on ebay.
