Mine had been filled when i joined. I'm just a keris and other malay weapons collector.

Just to be clear with you Weta, your idenity as a dealer was always clear to me, but for those who do not follow eBay that may not have been so clear. And though i am sure you do look to upgrade your personal collection as we all do, it would appear that you are also a full-fledged dealer as well. However, my request for up front identities was NOT aimed specifically at you. You are certainly NOT the only dealer to become involved on these keris threads without being clear about their occupation. There is, of course, nothing wrong with being a dealer and participating in this forum. It is just important to be clear with everyone the perspective from which you come.

Anyone with good intentions is absolutely welcome to participate here. The free exchange of information, knowlege and experience is important. It is, however, difficult at times to communicate effectively given the language and cultural diversity of our membership. This difficulty is increased by an order of magnitude when the specter of hidden agenda (whether real or imagined) is encountered.

Unfortunately, Keris threads appear particularly vulnerable to misunderstandings and arguments.

It is time for that to end.

I HAVE NEVER LOOKED AT OTHER MEMBERS PROFILES AS I AM USUALLY TOO BUSY READING OR POSTING. PROFILES WOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT TO MODERATORS IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES OF THEIR JOB, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!. I HAVEN'T PUT EVERYTHING IN MY OWN PROFILE FOR SECURITY REASONS AND BESIDES THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM

. THE PROFILES CAN BE USEFUL TO SEE IF ANY OTHER MEMBERS ARE IN YOUR AREA AND TO SET UP A GET TOGETHER. WE CAN USUALLY SEE WHICH MEMBERS ARE INTERESTED IN THE THINGS WE COLLECT IN THE POSTS AND PERHAPS SEND A EMAIL AND DISCUSS AND PERHAPS TRADE WITH THEM.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING DEALERS AND COLLECTORS HERE ON THE FORUM SHAREING KNOWLEGE. DEALERS GENERALLY HANDLE A WIDER VARIETY OF ITEMS AND A LARGER VOLUME THAN COLLECTORS SO ARE A VALUABLE SOURCE OF KNOWLEGE AS WELL AS NEW ITEMS FOR OUR COLLECTIONS. KNOWLEGE IS POWER!, KUDOS TO THE DEALERS WHO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEGE OPENLY HERE

. IT WOULD BE TO A DEALERS ADVANTAGE TO HAVE THE MEMBERS AWARE OF HIS INVENTORY AS LONG AS HE DEALS FAIRLY HE WILL MAKE MORE SALES AND BUILD A GOOD REPUTAION WHICH IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. WORD OF MOUTH IS STILL THE BEST FORM OF ADVERTIZEMENT ESPECIALLY AMOUNG COLLECTORS.

Vandoo brings up a good point about security, particularly if one uses a last name in or as a screen name. Assuming that anyone on here will have some sort of collection, adding a specific locality to a profile then is a potential invitation to burglary. For myself, I probably have nothing worth taking.
