Goblin-made things among wizards are very rare, because the goblins believe that once the intended recipient is dead, the things should go back to the goblins, because in the end goblins made it, goblins own it.
That is why the goblin in "The Deathly Hallows" betrayed the trio, taking the sword once they had the cup. It only reappeared later, when Neville Longbottom pulled it out of the Sorting Hat right before he killed Nagini with it.
So, very few goblin-made items. The thing about goblins is that they make things very intricately, and they also build things that are meant to last for ever. While the objects in themselves are not powerful, they have the potential to become very powerful, because, to put it simply, "What doesn't kill it, makes it stronger." Which is the case with the basilisk venom. After Chamber of Secrets, the sword is officially basilikified because Harry runs it through the head of the basilisk, directly going through the mouth, where ready venom is kept [also why basilisk fangs work so well.] Which is why ONLY the sword of gryffindor worked. Other blades would have just dissolved in the basilisk venom.
And by the way quan, thanks for never answering me directly. I don't mind if someone accidentally misses the gender thing, most of the posters on this site ARE male. Stop belaboring little, nonsensical points, stop calling people names, START thinking before you post. Right now you're just too easy to disprove.
