I got it this morning. The pics of the bamboo looked pretty good, to be honest. Not sure what he was hoping for with the tampers.

I replied and enquired about the black bamboo, prices seemed fair but he would only ship with payment first via bank transfer. This rings alrms bells, especially as he contacted me so I said i would pass.

Be interesting to see if anyone takes the risk.

Damn I never get these scungy pseudo-vendor emails. I must not be big-time like you guys.

[bluesmk]

Yes I recieved it as well. Any time I have to scroll back and forth to see something I dump it .
I don't care if it's the best bamboo and the best price! That stuff pisses me off.
My kid brother sends me chain email like that ......DELETE ! See ya!

I got it too.

The horn doesnt look to bad, it seems to have decent coloring.

I've received the email more than once. I inquired back as well but am not going to risk the amount of money on a sample that they require. I think a black bamboo sample would cost something like $180 minimum... Having said that, their response did seem normal enough (to me) for an oversees vendor. Good pics, detailed pricing and sizes...

I'd consider managing a group buy... but not if it's only black ox horn.

I've had a couple exchanges with him now... wants to charge more for the non-black horn... and really doesn't have all that much that isn't black.

I asked about a sample of 3 sticks and was quote $40 something. It was the shipping that bumped up the price. Unless its me that contacted them I am wary of sending money before goods are recieved.

I seem to get one at least once a week from this person. I am seriously thinking of blocking them but I do enjoy getting mail! lol
