<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 4160939, member: 15280"]This is why some believe that 95% + of the Chinese "antiques", used loosely, that you find online are repos. That's why genuine Chinese antiques bring such high prices at auctions. The Chinese are trying to return their National Treasures to China. I lived in Germany in the 1970s and was told the favorite place for German antique dealers to search was Florida. It makes sense. Many German treasures were swapped to occupying forces for food or cigarettes after WWII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
