Indeed. I wonder, now, just how much the people who produce the various African carvings we see in shops here actually get. Okay, so they're transported in bulk rather than one by one, but the prices are usually less than that guy was paying in courier charges. Presumably it was only worth their while because they thought they'd a chance at the big money.

likewise. Whilst it might well have been the case that the oiginal contact was a scam the carvings stuff felt almost like entrapment ...
