Due to the potential for scamming, no one may sell a gold Tyrian Serpent axe (gold r9+ Tyrian only as gold r8 is always Tyrian) without first showing it to a trusted collector who can verify its authenticity.
The only way to do this is to let the trusted collector hold the axe in their inventory in an explorable area. The opportunity to scam someone by swapping it for a Canthan Serpent axe is too great on this skin, and as the Tyrian version is worth many hundreds times more, this is the responsible course of action.
If there is a gold Non-Inscribable Serpent Axe for sale, and the owner tells you it’s Tyrian, but it is not listed for sale here having been verified, there is a good chance it is a scam. Buyer beware.
