Salaams David I have it sussed as clever positioning by the souk shop owner who has many contacts in the trade and supply from all over Oman and Yemen built up over two generations of shop work. Yemen which is in turmoil is desperate for cash. Like all souks there is 98% garbage and 2 % good stuff...and as in all things it is in the end what people are prepared to fork out for a decent item in an environment where price is seasonal... with thousands of tourists thronging the souk in the cooler weather the price is horrible... such is life.
