Sorry Rick.

Of course we will play nice.

Please pardon my momentary lapses of sarcasm. I certain intend to show all due respect, but i do find it necessary to counter some of Doecons statements and implications.

Well good that you did counter some of my statements, but to continue for the sake of disagreeing only doesn’t seem constructive. I think visitors here are wise enough to look at the ebay and picture links provided and make up their own judgment, whether or not this is a “catch”.

Doecon, why on earth do you think i would bother to counter your statements just for the sake of disagreeing?

Yes....that would be counterproductive. I gave arguement to some of your statements because i think those statements are absolutely wrong.

I don't think ANYONE here , including myself, has tried to say that the buyer of this keris didn't get a good deal. This is not one of the points i have been debating with you. If you thought so then i am sorry for the misunderstanding.

If you would like to show me how the points i have made are incorrect i am open to hearing your reasoning.

Discussions such as this most often end with the parties "agreeing to disagree," once both sides have been heard. Or, at least they should.

I think we have come to point where we agree on the answer of the IP's principal question.

We probably agree to (partly) disagree on some other issues, which seem slightly off topic. I dont think its right to have a general discussion about quality in this thread (since we're not longer talking about this keris in particular), so I would propose to leave it here for this specific keris.

In case we're discussing Keris quality measurements and standards in a new thread, I would probably jump in to agree or agree to disagree again

As a non-keris expert, I didn't like it all that much. It's ok.
