    Isn't that the wrong way round to be a Nazi swastika?

    I think you’re right. Could be a Buddhist.
    Although probably more likely that the image has been flipped or whoever did it hadn’t a clue.

    Image isn't flipped, all the text is the right way round

    I don't think it's been flipped as I can read the text correctly. The ball of the palm isn't a place that I'd expect to find a Nazi tattoo. That said, I cannot be sure as I don't meet many overt Nazis.

    Give a criminal my address, no thanks. A Nazi supporter is a criminal in my eyes, i dont care what anyone else says.

    Bit weird such a high end item photographed so badly. Plus the boxes comment and girlfriend misogyny.

    Bit judgey, but the room in the background doesn't really look like the natural home of such an expensive item.

    I'd guess it's nicked

    That swastika is an anti-clockwise example which is not the swastika allied to the Nazis but rather has been considered a symbol of good luck to many religions. Even certain clockwise examples have religious connotations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

    If it had, wouldn't we see the back of his hand?

    You may be being a bit over cautious and prejudicial here folks. He has an ancient well being tattoo on his hand, he may be a decent guy into eastern/Indian philosophies with tattoos.

    I have met a few travellers from the west enjoying life in the practices of more easterly doctrines. Some covered in tats, some blank canvases so to speak

    A nice bit of kit he’s selling

    Never judge a book by a cover, not until you have read a few chapters at least.

    He could turn out to be a complete scummer, but on the basis of a few photos, I wouldn’t be so quick to judge.

    That was the first thing I did before my earlier post...and he doesn't have those items.

    I once went to a house that had two swastikas on the door step.

    Owned by an older Indian woman. I guess they had religious or other significance to her.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Im not seeing anything nazi. As others have said an inverted swastika isnt a nazi symbol.
    That said, the dopey gf comment and appalling de scription w ould put me off.

    Both types can have non-Nazi meanings as used by Hindus and other Eastern religions.

    Y'all might be interested to know that some prisons have (or did have) call centers staffed by murderers, rapists, paedo's and probably a few nazis.
    They would have lists of people to ring all over the country. I know because I used to manage one.

    He has impeccable feedback and sold a squale recently so hardly looks dodgy

    Buddhist symbol for peace, in Sanskrit I believe it’s used for well being.

    It’s been used for thousands of years. It amazes me that Australia banned it. Even more so as it’s a country of primarily Europeans in Asia.

    There is an ancient swastika stone on ilkley moor. It is nothing to do with Nazis.

    What a wonderful thing trial by social media is. I think those with concerns should make a point of targeting his house just like those wellmeaning folk did with that filthy paediatrician 20-odd years ago. After all you can’t be too careful.

    The swastika itself is merely 2 crossed sig runes. The sig rune used by ancient germanic languages invokes the power of the sun. Indeed, the other nazi symbol, the SS is 2 sig runes next to each other.
    Hitler hoped to use ancient mysticism to his advantage. Someone with a swastika tattoo on their hand probably isn't a nazi.

    Would you buy an item from an apparent Nazi?

    I looked at his feedback and there’s a reassuring 5 stars from Barry Hintner(18) and Lou Mengele (88). Buy with confidence.
