i am no fan of Deep Space 9 but I am familiar with the Ferengi. They are rude aliens aren't they?
Maybe they can profit from an old Tausug proverb: Kitbita in pais mu; bang masakit kaymu, masakit da isab ha kaibanan mu. Pinch your own skin; if it is painful to you, it is also painful when done to your fellows. |

Dumb joke. I apologize. It was not in any way meant to reflect on or characterize either the piece or you.
I have deleted it. Star Trek and ethnographic weapons don't mix well ... Mark

I'm a little confused. How can you be offerring these barongs outright to forumites in this swap forum when you are currently auctioning them on ebay?

No Problem for the links Carlo. I might just be good policy to make a post if you do that in the future to avoid confusion and then you could post a link yourself. Good luck with your auction.

In keeping with Forum policy about not discussing active eBay auctions, this one is closed for discussion until the auctions conclude.
