Question? what to do?

While I had a very nice ivory and horn status baton in my hand, I wondered what are we to do with this sort of stuff. As specially as the prohibitions are going to include any white tusk material. Even if non elephant ivory may get some exemption most customs people will see white tusk as elephant ivory. Many collectors will have paid a premium for ivory which is now worthless. One could trade with collectors in your local? It takes a long time to make laws and perhaps even longer to undo. Have anybody thought about the future of their ivory now that it is almost worthless?
