Rarity on its own doesnt equal a large finacial value Tim. I wish it did.

The individual demand for each item decides the market value. {& the wealth of those individuals competing of course.}

If more people want something that they have to compete to get for the value goes up.

The fact that many may not be aware of the genuine age or honesty of what they bye doesnt apparently affect that.

So its Simply Supply & Demand, I guess thats why so many excelent kukri can be found so cheaply. Not that many people collect them.

Of course there may be others factors I havent noticed as well. {cartels monopolys & old boy networks bieng one for some exotic items perhaps both amongst buyers & sellers}
