Crossing swords
After police raided his home as the result of an Internet sale dispute, a Pewaukee man fought to clear his name

***********************
This story tells how a guy tried to sell some swords on an internet auction site.
The seller thought that the swords were Japanese samurai swords, but it turns out that they were made in China. The buyer complained after he had the swords appraised, but the buyer and seller could not work out an amicable resolution.
Police raided the seller's apartment, confiscated a bunch of stuff, and the seller was charged with a felony.
A deal was finally reached where the seller got his swords back, the buyer got his money back, and the felony charge was dropped.
The seller is out several thousand dollars in attorney fees.
Let the seller beware.
