whereas a decent keris with intricate pamors, with a very difficult forging technique will fetch only 100 - 200 USD

basically I wanted keris to be appreciated more as it is a very beautiful work of art

and err ... what should I do now ? put down the listing ??

Whatever you thought your intention was in listing this keris while carrying on a discussion about it on the forum the end result is that indeed it does create a situation where you do personally gain. It is also very clearly a violation of forum rules. It is not an arbitrary rule, it is in place for various reasons, and it is absolutely the obligation of all our members to read and understand the rules before participating.
This thread has been closed so really you don't need to do anything other than not do it again.
