I BID ON THE AUCTION THRU THE INTERNET, 18 ABSENTEE BIDS NO WINS,

MOST OF THE TIME ABSENTEE BIDS JUST GIVE THE AUCTIONEER A PLACE TO START AND FLOOR BIDDERS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE UNLESS SOMEONE PUTS IN A RIDUCULOUS BID OR NO ONE THERE WANTS THE ITEM.
I HAD BID ON THE TWO LOTS OF SPEARS, THE TWO WERE VERY GOOD QUALITY AND UNUSUAL TYPES, I THOUGHT THE FANCIER OF THE TWO MIGHT BE NAGA THE OTHER I WAS NOT SURE OF. THE GROUP OF 6 SPEARS WERE INTERESTING BUT MOST WERE FISHING OR HUNTING SPEARS AND ONE ODD THING THAT I COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS FROM THE PICTURE. THERE WERE SOME NICE INDONESIAN WEAPONS OFFERED, I LIKED THE NIAS SWORDS AND SHIELD AND THE SUMATRA SWORD WITH RHINO HORN HANDLE AND HORNBILL GAURD CAME CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR. DID THE TEETH ON THE NIAS SWORD LOOK LIKE CROCODILE OR TIGER AS THEY WERE REPRESENTED?

THERE WERE SOME NICE ITEMS THERE I AM GLAD SOME FELLOW FORUM MEMBERS SNAGGED SOME OF THEM.
