The cheapest would be a duan dao with a good inserted edge blade, original though crude iron fittings of village manufacture, and no scabbard for $250 shipped. It would take me a bit to organize photos.

Sorry, no chang jian, but I have a seven star chang jian blade that I might be willing to let go to a good home for $600.

Look for the antiques.

The prices are good, and perhaps cheaper than what I have, especially for Europeans. However, Peter does not mark them sold very quickly, so what you see is not necessarily for sale still.

If you ever get around to taking pictures of the daos I would be interested in seeing some of the lower end ones
