This is a decent thing.

I think there is some sort of prohibition on discussion of prices here, so I'm half expecting to get this post wiped, along with a rap over the knuckles, however, since the $$$$ value seems to be of such interest, and since I returned only a few days ago from Jawa-Bali, and since on Thursday of last week I was able to bring my knowledge of on-the-ground Bali prices up to date, here is my comment:-

this keris was given away

what I saw last Thursday inclines me to believe that current local buyers in Bali would expect to pay two to three times the amount that this keris realised

I guess this demonstrates that it is still possible to win on ebay, if you are prepared to gamble.
