When it's rare, whatever price is reasonable, as long as there are people wanting it. It's rather subjective, just like the price of a lot of antiques. They are expensive because people want them. On the other hand, collectors can try to create market hype to make their collection worth more.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-60354059072752127792011-12-01T11:12:30.837-05:002011-12-01T11:12:30.837-05:00I'd be really curious to know how much of the ...I'd be really curious to know how much of the 88 madness you describe was the widespread hype and enthusiasm that ensues when people start bidding something up or going after a scarce commodity.<br /><br />When prices soar that high, I'm usually highly skeptical that there's much underlying real value justifying the price. There may have been a good value initially, but once the prices begin shooting up, it becomes hysteria and groupthink, at least as I see it.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-621950844202850172011-11-23T10:47:55.481-05:002011-11-23T10:47:55.481-05:00Thanks Tat:-D

I think with strict management, Guangdong would be better than Kunming for non-humid storage tea. But Kunming is more worry-free as flood and high humidity could occasionally happen in Guangdong.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-81517967557929506382011-11-23T02:15:12.063-05:002011-11-23T02:15:12.063-05:00Excellent post about the history of the legend of ...Excellent post about the history of the legend of the '88' 7542 cake.
