Might not be a repo. They are reasonably affordable, considering they are 2000 years old. But then again, those guys in that part of the world get really busy on stuff tourists like to buy. Oil lamps are an example. They find them by the hundreds and fake them by the thousands.

A buck a piece in packs of 10---not bad. My friend just returned from a tour of the Holy Land and purchased a W. M. necklace in silver. Hers looked a lot rougher and somewhat worn. Who knows, but for $50 it is a must-buy souveiner.
