Hi Fernando these pieces comes from an Dutch officer that was in Atjeh

So sure before 1900 .

Thank you for your email, Ben.
Eventualy i don't have any Borneo pieces for swaping.
In the other hand, don't take it wrong, but i am afraid i don't see how should i make you an offer for your items

. It's you who are "offering" the articles for sale; certainly you are able to tell the price you want for them. Then i could either let go or accept it ... or even make a counter offer

.
Just a pitty; if the prices were convenient, i would have liked to acquire one of those swords.
Thanks all the same.
All the best
Fernando

I see that you have just posted some info after you sent me the email i am responding to.
My reply still fits.
Best

sorry for intervening guys, but I do not see anything wrong with asking for offers. If someone is interested in an item, and knows enough about it in terms of comparative market value - one should be able to make an offer to the seller. It is a seller's right afterall to sell an item anyway he/she prefers without justifying his/her selling preferences.
Once again - sorry for intervention - I should post it at the dedicated thread.

Well Ben, i think it is even less difficult for you to tell how much you want for it. I don't have any necessity to offer you an amount that can either be higher than what you have in your mind, or see my proposal refused because you find it too low, or even ofensive.The last time i made an offer on something ( i don't remember to whom), i didn't even get an answer.
No need to be a sucker and no need to be humiliated.
... Just points of view; no hard feelings.

I do not sell it if I dont like the offer .
