Thank you Rick!

Sometimes I get too paranoid...

sorry

I never used this forum for personal gain

and to be honest, I only listed the keris on ebay because I wanted to show folks in Indonesian blades forum, how keris is being underrated as part of my discussion last week, on how a poor quality wakizashi can be sold for 1000 USD

whereas a decent keris with intricate pamors, with a very difficult forging technique will fetch only 100 - 200 USD

basically I wanted keris to be appreciated more as it is a very beautiful work of art

and err ... what should I do now ? put down the listing ??

Whatever you thought your intention was in listing this keris while carrying on a discussion about it on the forum the end result is that indeed it does create a situation where you do personally gain. It is also very clearly a violation of forum rules. It is not an arbitrary rule, it is in place for various reasons, and it is absolutely the obligation of all our members to read and understand the rules before participating.
