Default Kris price variation

Hi All.
I apologise if any of you think that I'm flogging a dead horse. I just wanted to find out what you thought about the huge variation in prices for pieces. There is such a wide band. Especially when it comes to ivory pommels! The prices don't seem to follow any particular logic. In my travels, I've seen the same/similar pieces vary in price from a few hundred to almost a couple of thousands. There was even a hilt (only the hilt) with ivory kakatua pommel (not the full kakatua ceremonial form) priced at several thousands.
It may be useful to, at times, have posts about what 'reasonable' prices to pay are. People may be able to use it to build personal confidence in making offers/bids.

Regards.
