Default Buying "power"

One peculiar thing about people is that it's really not a keris or object they are buying or looking for but the inherent "power" of it and there are those who are quite willing to pay for them. I guess many would know what I mean. I know a certain guy who pays tens of thousands of ringgits collecting Siamese talismans from Thailand and no doubt there are ones looking for keris "powers". And arising from the "power" commercialism there's this familiar "story" phenomenon.
