    Lots of MCC in the auction, haven't browsed through it thoroughly so don't know what's there (or more importantly; not there) for sale.

    I see GOW, Pandas, and... a 10oz Kook?????.

    Some medals too.

    Should provide some more interesting data into how the Chinese market thinks of Pandas and MCC in general :) [Oh and Kooks LOL]

    The Hosane catalogues are beautiful (as are some of the staff).

    If you have won previous auctions they are free :)

    If you are a first time buyer, you may need to purchase them. But if you turn up to the viewing room (in Shanghai), and chat a little, they normally give you one for free.

    What makes the Hosane Auctions special, is that the audience is usually almost entirely Mainland Chinese - since international bidders have restricted postal options (i.e. they cannot have their items sent to them outside of the Mainland).

    Last time I went, I saw some Pandas reach over 1,000,000RMB. Exciting to witness.

    Anyone wanting to visit Shanghai during this time? Let me know.

    This set sold for over $1million USD.

    Some people question whether the BIG3 can increase in price, since they are already so expensive... but looking at these figures, the BIG3 are still pretty affordable.

    15% I think, will let yennus confirm though.

    Also not 100% sure as to whether or not the final price listed on their websites include BP.

    Checked. They do include BP in final realized prices.

    See example: http://www.hosane.com/upload/pdf/T11121.html

    I can't remember what the commission was... but I think 15% sounds about right.

    If I find my previous invoices I'll try to confirm the % here. :)
