<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 238469, member: 25"]It depends what country you live in. I can sell antique ivory items in a bricks and mortar auction house that allows online bidding, but the auction house can only ship the items to UK residents or at least, UK addresses. I can't think of any reason apart from sheer economic impractibility why I should not set up an ebay like UK website to sell Ivory. It would have to specify pre-ban ivory objects though.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion that box may not be pre-ban, thouugh. It is an African souvenir object, and travel and tourism to Africa became far more common after WWII and that would be the sort of thing that might have been brought back from Nairobi in the 1970s or 1980s when enforcement of any restrictions on ivory, particually for individual travellers was pretty casual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
