I believe you have to give a complete sentence with full context. Do not use ellipses loosely, especially at the front end of te sentence. It is difficult to see the coherence of your question.

Thanks for help, sorry I was so vague!
"Knitted in luxurious garments available here for a tenth of the price they are sold in foreign countries". I need to know why the writer has not used 'sold at`, why has 'at' been omitted, or is it really needed at all?
The other part of my question was in this sentence " There is continious music, dances imitating eagles and the like.

Hi Swift,
Let's take a look at this sentence. First, where did you get this sentence, may I ask? It's not a grammatical sentence becasue [Knitted in luxurious garments] is a past participle phrase which doesn't make much sense. And [available here for a tenth of the price] is a adjectival phrase which also has the same problem. "Sold in stores", or "sold in countrie
