| I don't know that anything i would say could add anything new to this thread that hasn't been said already....
The old slogan of let the buyer beware is probably appropriate...hence the importance of KB and other boards to educate those just learning. I also want to credit the first class dealers that thru their efforts bring us seminars like Toshio's and thru years of earned trust have provided a genuine service to the clubs and hobbists who they support.
I too can relate with mike M....I make no apologies for being pro domestic, and have been accused as being president of Mat's fan club ( of which I am honored ).60 % of my collection is domestic and the other is japanese, all of which are from Toshio sakai , save one.
I quess it all comes down to what kodama's business plan is....and how others both here and in japan preceive them based on past experience with doing business with them.. |
