Another RBSO bites the dust

[Hai_hai]

RBSO, rich-boy show-off.
Just checking out eBay. What do I see, an almost new 2mm top quality bogu for sale.
Pathetic.

Hardly top quality, you can get the whole set for $800 brand new. Top quality is when we are talking 2-4K

[Tholon]

What's the problem?
Don't we all by the best quality we can afford?
And - big surprise - some have more money than others!

I guess I meant e-bogu's top quality version, not top quality in general. Oh well, somebody else can can benefit from the rich and foolish.

Ha ha funny or strange funny? It's not a crime to so a search for "kendo" in eBay, is it?

P.S. Mine is a Mori Budo-gu set so I'm not the seller, you cheeky monkey.

Remember who you are talking to..for Hai-hai, anything above $50 is top quality.

True. My home-made cardboard bogu looks rough.

[Neil Gendzwill]

$2K isn't that much either - you can spend that much coin just on kote if you like. I've seen doh that were $5K. OK, I've seen pictures of doh that were $5K.

If I have $15,000 bogu, do you think it is wise to buy insurance for it to insure like against the scratch?

[Kote-Men]

15,000? Not that much.. Why dont you trash it then get one for a decent regular price for the well to do. Like 40,000 to 50,000 then get insurance on that. I only use my hirotsugu for regular practices then my ancient families priceless bogu, handed down from the ages. It orginally belonged to Naganuma Shirozaemon of the Middle Tokugawa Period, who improved Ise-no-kami's bagged shinai and made todays shinai. His Nakanishi school invented bogu.

Actually I made my first doh when I was in college and couldn't afford to buy bogu. We still keep it at the dojo to remind me of those days.

jamarsten: What did you make your doh out of? If it was cardboard, I hope you didn't get too many broken ribs :)


Heh... reminds me of the time our goalie needed a blocker, so I taped a shoe box cover to a glove... worked pretty well until it started raining :(

Do you have pictures?

I would really love to see them.
