 Hi Alex
too many times I saw bid going over than 1K U$ for brand new "pala" displayed in Syria for less than 280U$ ... before bargain  
 
 
we can do nothing to alert these people, they should check by themselves before buying
but it's a real shame that these vendors, who are dishonest in the descriptions, for example;
- describe it as, ancient weapon, having seen many fights ...  
 
but they never give a date or era, playing on the "fuzzy" for, to don't be accused of cheating
