I noticed that the Store run for many years by Hitomi on E Bay is no longer there. It was there as recently as a week ago, but it is now gone. She was always a pleasure to deal with and her items were always reasonably priced. Does anyone know what happened to her? I will miss her and wish her well.

That's a shame. We can definitely use more people who sell quality magic items on eBay. But I can imagine it's not an easy business to prosper in.

I buy from her every year but have not received a reply to my emails. I hope she is ok.

Same here - no replies whatsoever. I have bought every single new release from her for I think about 15 years or even more. Such a kind, helpfull lady she was - her husband used to work at the Tenyo company by the way. The last couple of years she would cut out the 'coupons' for the +1 trick for me and send it when it was available. She would also translate all the +1 items manuals herself and e-mail some info before the tricks were released.

I have a very bad feeling ... . I hope I'm wrong and she is doing well.

Any update on Hitomi’s well being?

Yeah, for sure Hitomi san was a class act on every level. Professional, courteous, always delivered above & beyond. It's a long shot , but maybe Richard Kaufman can be of help here.

Buy your Tenyo from SEO Magic.

OK... but you used to refer us to Hitomi many years ago, which is actually how I began to deal with her. I was kind of hoping you knew.

She was always very nice and sold me some hard to find items at fair prices.

I was just curious if anyone knew what happened to her. I know a lot of us from this Tenyo page delt with her quite a lot in the past.
