Monday eBay Roundup (XIX)

Greetings everyone!

The last few weeks have been a bit quiet due to the lack of Xena news, but it seems this week things are finally waking up a little. Let's take a look at the new items we can find right now on eBay.

- TODD'S METAL SAIS REPLICA #99


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 099/1000
   > COA: Not included
   > Seller: kalikins2014
   > Price: $200 plus shipping (only USA), or Make Offer

   > Opinion: Sais are not a thing to find on eBay too often, so this is neat! PROS: Cool items, well made, low number, and definitely good price! & CONS: Missing COA, unexperienced seller (only 1 review on their profile) and shipping within the USA only.

- MARTO OF TOLEDO XENA'S KATANA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not numbered
   > COA: Not mentioned
   > Seller: kalikins2014
   > Price: $300 plus shipping (only USA), or Make Offer

   > Opinion: I've stated my opinion about these katanas in several occasions (nicely made but inaccurate katana). I stick to it. Nevertheless, price seems fair (far less than what we usually find around) and the item looks very well conserved. Same seller as above.

- MARTO OF TOLEDO GABRIELLE'S KATANA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not numbered
   > COA: Not mentioned
   > Seller: gooser2012
   > Price: $99.99 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Why do katanas always seem to come in pairs? :) I've also said what I think of Marto's Gabrielle katanas many times (less accurate than Xena's, but at the same time quite fine katanas). This one is exceptionally cheap, so if you're interested this might be your best chance!

- MARTO OF TOLEDO XENA'S SUPER KATANA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not numbered
   > COA: Not mentioned
   > Seller: sonofkrypton22
   > Price: $449 plus shipping 

   > Opinion: Samo samo hehe Not the first of these to review either. They come with many cool thingies but these katanas are even less accurate than the regular ones. Still, they are a nice collectible and I'm sure many owners are happy with theirs. This one comes from seller sonofkrypton22 (aka Otsillac) and it's a but more expensive than the one above.

- RESIN SCREEN-USED BORIAS SWORD


   > Character: Borias. Xena.
   > Material: Urethane resin
   Papers: COA from Turners
   Seller: sonofkrypton22
   Price: $289.99 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Also from Otsillac there's this very cool Borias-style sword. This kind of sword was used by both Borias and Xena (in her evil warlord days), and unless specified it could have been used by either them or the stunt doubles. Original, and very well-conserved for a screen-used prop.

- SIGNED XENA PLAQUE AND COSTUME PIECE


   > Character: Xena (or double)
   > Material: Wood. Leather.
   Papers: Not mentioned
   Seller: sonofkrypton22
   Price: $350 plus shipping

   > Opinion: What a curious piece! Otsillac says this is a OOAK (One Of A Kind) piece that was sold by creation Entertainment. It includes a 10x15 photo, signed by Lucy, plus a small piece of leather that seems to have belonged to her costume. Also a small plaque. It looks nice!

- TODD'S YIN YANG CHAKRAM #500


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 500/1000
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: beatles-rock
   > Price: $500 plus shipping

   > Opinion: A non-splitting Y&Y chakram. The painting scheme seems a bit dark, but it might be due to the lighting (you should definitely ask the seller). This chakram is a bit more expensive than the ones we've found as of late, but on the brighter side the seller DOES ship outside the US.

- GOLDEN WINGED GAUNTLETS


   > Character: Unknown
   > Material: Leather. Rivets.
   Papers: COA from Turners
   Seller: traysea
   Price: $37.99 (2 bids already) plus shipping

   > Opinion: Very nice looking gauntlets. As it usually happens with most Turner's items, these gauntlets are unidentified and could come from either Xena Warrior Princess, Hercules or Young Hercules. If you recognize these gauntlets please let me know or write the seller so they can update the description in their listing.

  1. Thanks for doing the roundup! I'm a bit devastated that I immediately went to the Gab's Sais listing this evening, but it was too late already!

    At least I know there is still some sales/interest out there for them. (it's so hard to find them, and it's impossible to find any other sais online that have the right handle shape!)

    I'll check in sooner next time!

    Thanks again. :)

    1. Hello Karrie! Thank you for your kind words :) I understand what you say, the sais are quite elusive pieces. Have you taken a look at the replica sais made by RomansEmpire on eBay? They are not as stunning as Todd's, but they are quite better than the regular octagon sais many people buy. At least they do look like Gabrielle's :)

  2. I have been through all of your posts. Now I don't feel like I should buy my Ying-Yang Chakram without first knowing your authoritative remarks on its different versions.
    Monk.

    1. Hello Monk! Thanks for the comment, I feel honored :) I'll try to have the Yin Yang Chakram Comparisons soon - sorry for that, life has been very very busy. But it'll arrive :D
      Cheers
