Let's call it what it is, hot merchandise. If those who buy hot merchandise were to say, "naw, $50,000's too much, I'm putting myself at risk if I'm ever discovered with this... $5,000 or no deal" then the price would fall. Those involved in selling the stolen items would face the same punishments for less reward.

Stolen antiquities are a big deal in every country.
