Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Namaste!!! The story could be valid or not, we cannot say. But certainly these things exist and people do obtain them. There is never a question of "unheard of price", because we all heard of one hundred billion dollars - and nothing sacred will cost THAT much. Your naga mani supplier sounds like he has a "bum mani" and it's not helping him. So it's like in Cambodia, they have nonsense talismans that make one bullet-proof, taken from a dead soldier... how compltely crazy. If the owner was shot and killed then what good is the talisman? Note, things have value for a number of reasons, such as DURABILITY, PORTABILITY, BEAUTY, RARITY, GOOD LUCK, etc., ultimately determined by supply and demand.
