Are you sure, the last sword I bought cost me £75 and that is definitely
combat ready (well I suppose it could do with sharpening). I dunno what the
£ to $ conversion is at the moment, but I am paying 17.5% VAT (sales tax)
included in that price. Granted it isn't the nicest sword I have ever
owned.
