In this brief video, the speaker explains why even centuries‑old ivory cannot be legally sold.

The speaker notes that in Manhattan, possession or sale of such ivory can result in a $10,000 fine. The video ends with a request to subscribe for future content.
How come I can't sell my ivory if it's antique? I get this question all the time, and the answer is basically that even though an animal passed away 100, 150 years ago, you're still promoting the demand for ivory once you sell a piece. These pieces are very old, but if you get caught with this in Manhattan, it's a $10,000 fine. Please subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.
