I agree, but I can't help but think that this guy is running a bit of a sketchy operation. It would be one thing if he was scraping by selling cheap $5 butterfly knives or something of that sort, but if he's making and selling $1200 swords and he's doing well enough that he can discount them to $800 just because someone goes to his apartmnet (as he apparently did on the undercover footage) then he should probably consider running his operation out of a legitimate storefront or random industrial space.
Granted, he might have just been posturing a bit for a prospective client, but it sounds like his business is large enough that he should be running it in a more professional manner or at least out of a legitimate business location.
