I guess this qualifies as Ethnographic. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity so your freinds will know it is real.

You're not making fun of my latest acquisition; are you .... BILL ?? ;) :D

[Bill M]

You're not making fun of my latest acquisition; are you .... BILL ?? ;) :D

I knew that someone with similar taste, just barely bid over me. Glad these auctions are "Private ID!" ;) ;)

[FenrisWolf]

How terrible of you to sound so cynical! Why, it's an important METAPHYSICAL object, full of SACRED JADE POWER!

[Rick]

Hi Fenris, forum rules dictate that we must refrain from making comments about the Seller and confine them to the object itself.

Having said that; Bill, why did you have to drive the price so high? I had to call DiTech for a refi to win this piece ... :( :p :D

[BluErf]

...

Why do people do these things?

[Rick]

Hi Kai Wee, I believe that for every astute collector there are a thousand who are not . :shrug:

[BluErf]

But except for a kid, I don't see how anyone could fall for it... But anyhow, we've had our entertainment. :)

Hi Kai Wee, I believe that for every astute collector there are a thousand who are not . :shrug:Sorry about the earlier comment, I'll remember that in the future.

Re collectors: as someone who has bought more than his share of pigs-in-a-poke, I can attest to how easy it is to get caught up in a bidding frenzy, especially when you're new at this. I constantly remind myself not to go crazy on some item, because there will almost always be another one along...

[fenlander]

I'll give him ten dollars for entertainment value.
He should go into movie directing, the movie was quite fun.
:D

[Mark]

I'm thinking shill bidding here. No one in their right mind would pay so much for a thing like that.

[mross]

Break out the dice, I feel a game of D&D coming on! :D
