Nice Ivory Jungayan Kris just ended

I was watching it with a lot of interest: expected a fierce e-snipe battle and instead.... it fizzled...

Not with a bang but a whimper"
What was wrong? Was everybody scared? Or was it this Kris too awful for words? Surely, it was worth $0.99

it was a very beautiful sword despite of the missing ivory piece.

Ariel, i think you missed the fine print.
"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale"
Usually that means the seller found someone that met his price. I have personally handled this weapon and it is impressive even with the damage. A shame though and it did influence my decision not to buy the kris myself. But it is hardly an awful weapon.

IT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON OF LATE TO SEE AUCTIONS ENDED EARLY BY THE SELLER. SOMETIMES IT IS DUE TO MISIDENTIFICATION, EBAY MAKES THEM REMOVE IT OR SOMEONE LOCALLY COMES INTO THE SHOP AND BUYS IT. BUT MOSTLY IT IS SOMEONE SENDS A EMAIL TO THE SELLER AND OFFERES HIM A PRICE AND IF THE SELLER DOSEN'T KNOW THE OBJECTS WORTH AND WAS EXPECTING TOO LITTLE OR THE PRICE IS HIGH ENOUGH HE REMOVES IT FROM AUCTION AND THE BUYER ELIMINATES THE COMPETICIAN, ITS KIND OF LIKE SNIPEING EXCEPT YOU DO IT BEFORE AN AUCTION CLOSES. I ACTUALLY DISAPROVE OF IT MORE THAN THE SNIPEING BUT ITS NOT AGAINST THE RULES UNLESS EBAY DOSEN'T LIKE IT AND ITS THE SELLERS CALL TO END EARLY OR DO A BUY IT NOW FOR A BUYER.

Don't know if you noticed but the top of the jungayyan pommel is missing. I would hate to pay a lot of money for a broken piece, although there is more than enough ivory to have a large danganan style recarved. I suspect this is what happened to some of the jungayyan handles in past times.

Was also curious about a seller named "venerable mr wong" with small buyer feedback and zero seller feedback in "good luck USA."
