No Tim

You are a realist and a savy collector I just picked up that real nice Luzon bolo with silver fittings and I would consider that a special item due to the overall quality of the bolo and rarity of the silver. I paid half of what these more common(less rare)types went for and I still thought I overpaid. Like I said before someone with a lot of cash and not too much experience in the collecting field I think? He will learn fast and realize not to throw his money away so easily.
