<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 341215, member: 12789"]It is curious to come upon this discussion, I was in China about 1.5 years ago and saw some of the fakes for sale in Guangzhou, while I could sit and drive hard bargains on stuff like gold, old paper money, ancient Chinese coins, I could not drive down prices on the fakes! They always seem to want 30 Yuan on up for them, I could never get them to come down to 10 Yuan or so which is what they are worth to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying real numismatic material in China is actually kind of fun for me, I like to haggle on prices(perhaps it is in the blood?) and they expect you to haggle, but I guess they expect most Westerners to cave at some point and go for their price. I just walked away, so they would chase after me and come down to my price. Boy if only you could do that on the bourse floor in Long Beach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
