While walking through the isles at Timonium I spotted a cute little dagger with a 5-6 inch blade. It was a simple yet elegant knife. I asked the seller to see it and he happily removed it from the glass case on his table. It had a tiny price sticker on it which I thought read $380 it turned out I was a bit off it was really $3800

$3800 for a "really nice dagger?"
![]() On the other hand, maybe the guy just didn't want to sell it for some reason. ![]() |

Sounds like a candidate for an unofficial 'P.T.Barnum' award, given to merchants who espouse the great man's trueism: "There's a sucker born every minute!"

This is a common occurance at gun/arms shows in my experience.
There will be the occasional ethno weapon mixed in with a wide selection of militaria and such, but offered at an outrageous price because the seller is unfamiliar with it. Needless to say, I don't usually attempt to negotiate with, let alone educate, most of these sellers, as they are easily offended. ![]() |
