Heck, I am re-writing his email now, so in his own words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am, however, offended that you&#8217;re doing another run of the Marquis Yi sword. I wanted to be one of the few that had one. I jest. I&#8217;m actually glad you&#8217;re doing another run. It is one of the finest edged weapons I&#8217;ve encountered and I&#8217;m excited that the collectors who missed out on the first run have a chance to put one in their collection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, the Jian of Marquis Yi is NOT an expensive sword. Although it is the sword that I&#8217;ve paid the most money for, it&#8217;s the cheapest sword I&#8217;ve ever purchased.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I dare anyone to find a finer blade with finer fittings and a nicer scabbard for less than the showroom price of $2500. You offer it for $1500! \u00a0You whore! \u00a0(I&#8217;m joking, but seriously&#8230;) Honestly, you couldn&#8217;t have the Marquis Yi scabbard made in the U.S. for less than $700 or $800. Sword not included! \u00a0I wish I could afford a few more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Speaking of things I can&#8217;t afford; I&#8217;m not too happy about the new Project X sword. The Dragon Dao is another one of those SBG offerings that I never really considered but now I MUST own. What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship! \u00a0And the fact that it&#8217;s forged by Master Jiang guarantees that anyone who purchases this SBG exclusive will get triple the value for the money spent.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">I&#8217;ve sold two of my children but am still really short on the asking price. (The children were pretty ugly and one had a limp so I couldn&#8217;t demand a high price for them)&#8230;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">Another note: \u00a0I&#8217;ve been using a new oil on my swords that your customers may want to try. I was working a security detail in the rain. Every morning after my shift my shotgun would be covered in a nice sheen of rust no matter what I put on it; Hoppe&#8217;s, CLP, Tetra, S&amp;W, and a multitude of other products. I explained the issue to my brother who recommended a product called &#8220;Corrosion X&#8221;. I used it.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">Never again have I seen rust on my shotgun, regardless of hours of exposure to water, fingerprints, etc. I use it on my swords now. No staining and the finest protection I&#8217;ve found. Give it a shot. Truly.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">Well, I hope that you and all of your family and associates are in good spirits and health.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">Best to you.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">-Chris Hargis<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxgmail_extra\">P.S.- feel free to use any part of this email for your purposes.
