A Franklin Mint original. Rare and hard to find. Mild damage to frame, but dagger practically in mint condition. Any takers?

Sure is fancy.
Looks a little rich for my blood though.

Best of luck on your sale.

Too low my friend. Can't go below $100.

In fact to save time, I'll throw in an asking price of $120.

A reasonable deal considering the quality and rareness of the piece. Thanks for the interest.

If anybody buys this I have the matching hourglass (Merlins Hourglass or something) and crystal ball with base, that I would sell to them at a reasonable price.

Honestly, I think you will have a better go of it selling this on Ebay. These are VERY fantasy based pieces and the buying trends and history of this forum usually does not command high prices for fantasy based stuff. I think you may find a better market on ebay where you can find a better demographic of people.

I was starting to come to that conclusion... But I wanted to run it by my fellow archivers first. This board tends to lean towards more practical and historic stuff(which is certainly understandable). Thanks.

Yes, Halberds is a fictional person that I channel to communicate on this forum.

My real name is R. McWilliams and I cannot always control this Hal guy.
Many times he has let his bulldog mouth overload his puppy dog ass. :wink:
