We have a auction house in The Haque, The Netherlands which has a good reputation. Once I went there since they had a keris collection for sale. The ''keris specialist'' of the auction house was feeling very important but had no idea what a ''luk'' was (I had to explain that to him). Genuine pieces from Bali were auctioned for a criminal low price. The specialised buyers had a really good time since they had already devided the spoils before the auction started. The seller was robbed. So it does not only happen on internet.
