ICHIBAN STARTING TO CLOSE DOWN. We are starting to close down our business, a process that will take us a couple of years - age and health issues tell us it is time. We still have over 1,500 items either currently listed on our website catalog or still to be posted onto it. So, from now on ALL ITEMS IN THE CATALOG MAY BE PURCHASED AT 40 % OFF THE LISTED PRICE. (Please note - any Ichiban listing that is at auction on EBAY sells for the final bid price and the 40 % discount does not apply). At these low prices, we do ask that you pay shipping and insurance charges for all items purchased. With thanks for your years of patronage, we look forward to serving you until the last items are sold.
