<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2763091, member: 10461&quot;]I&#039;ve shipped coins (including one with a low 3-figure price tag) to China, though for more expensive material, it&#039;s nerve-wracking.&nbsp; Haven&#039;t had anything lost, though there have been some delays.&nbsp; I would recommend very politely canceling the sale and explaining your dilemma.&nbsp; I had to cancel a sale to China once last year because the shipping costs were so prohibitive that they would have been more than the coins sold for.&nbsp; I apologized for the misunderstanding to my buyer, and even sent him an additional $5-10 extra on top of the refund as a gesture of goodwill.&nbsp; He thanked me and sent the extra money back.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a bit too easy for us to paint with too broad a brush, here.&nbsp; The concern is understandable, but it&#039;s also &quot;profiling&quot;, and not entirely fair.&nbsp; There are thousands of honest collectors and dealers in China in addition to the counterfeiters.&nbsp; But you probably know that.&nbsp; And yes, caution is warranted, and sometimes it&#039;s better to (politely) cancel the sale and avoid potential headaches, no doubt.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cheap shot, but funny nonetheless.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Such a joke is inevitable, and similar things were said when I sold a high grade Pillar dollar to China.&nbsp; That was a legit collector/dealer who bought it, though.&nbsp; Ironically, it was <i>I</i> who did not guarantee authenticity on the Pillar dollar.&nbsp; It was a sharp AU coin but so heavily polished that it <i>looked</i> counterfeit.&nbsp; There&#039;s a good chance it was real, but I really couldn&#039;t say for sure and said as much in the listing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
