A funny story from Timonium

$3800 for a "really nice dagger?"

I do sometimes question the sanity of some of the sellers at Timonium (I guess the same standard would apply to other shows). There often seems to be a complete unhinging from reality.

On the other hand, maybe the guy just didn't want to sell it for some reason.

But it was a really nice dagger.

You should have seen Lew's face when the guy said that. It was priceless!

Yup! I have seen dealers swear that their pieces comand that price and then swear at me when I show them that what they have is not what they think.
