[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 4409221, member: 55"]The assortment pictured in my post #26 could be purchased from a bead-dealer online or in person for around $20 to $25 US, total. $1 or $2 each. Listed on ebay and represented as genuine old Eskimo carvings, a seller might be asking $80 to $200 total - but would not find any bidders, except perhaps among the naive. Just as a side-note, there are many ebay sellers who routinely list such things for the high price mentioned, week after week, never finding any bidders; just in the hope apparently that someday somebody new will come along and be misled into bidding. A strange business model, if you ask me.[/QUOTE]
