    I don't think Chinese love to buy foreign coin. It's hard to resell so most people think they are rubbish.

    There are 9 sets selling on ebay for @$1050 with free postage, get in quick if you want one, I reckon it's a pretty good price - ordered one :)

    Alright price but this sends the wrong signals to me.

    Xu Hong (that store owner) usually only posts onto his eBay store stuff that isn't selling well locally or stuff that gives him a higher profit selling overseas.

    Seems a lot of the hype for this set comes from overseas whereas the Chinese market seems deadish.

    Just my 2c ;)

    Yeah spoke to a guy that lives in China for most of the year when he was in Perth he said to all his friends and students that he was coming here and that he would be able to get dragon coins from the mint and apparently they all said 'no thanks but if you can please get some rabbits because they are so cute' maybe this Chinese hype for dragons is invented and just a way for the West to ask amazingly high premiums

    Just one set left.
    I got 2 sets, the way I see it that was a great price considering release price was about $900 - add another 30-$40 postage, so only a couple of hundred on top - very fair price I think. Have been selling on ebay for around 1500+. So, for 9 x 1oz coloured dragons it's a pretty good deal.

    No worries, was glad to be able to spread some of the love around :D
    Been a lot of peolple interested in this set, I have been keeeping an eye on ebay trying to get one - even offered someone $1400 for a set and they turned it down! So when saw these at such a great price had to pass it on to ss :)

    All the sets gone now.

    I'm still waiting to hear back from Xu, I requested if he could find these 2 days ago now hence why he managed to secure some for sale. on the Bay.
    Hope he gets back to me soon!! :)
