The same kris was offered again by another seller recently but at more than 3 x the original selling price.

Hello Aslan,
Yes, I agree on the price. I was also watching these. Apparently you got to them first. Congrats!
I missed that the kris was being resold. I've noticed that Filippino, especially Moro items have increased significantly in price recently. I think some sellers are trying to capitalize on this.

If you're referring to the gunong I posted about in the below link, than yes. It would appear to be the only one of the batch that is not ivory. So it goes.
