Hi Dibbs
Yes I was writing in Canadian dollars.Across the globe there are major differences in markets. Even between local dealers there can be major differences. When I did shop the internet auctions I spent a lot of time on the Uk site. I got many fabulous deals there. Shipping was dirt cheap and far faster than within Canada.We have collectables dealers here that regularly fly to the UK and fill shipping containers full of collecatable merchandise to bring here. On average their return on investment is between 4 and 6 to 1. I have never met anyone that buys anything here to sell in the UK.
Once at an Amerindian craft event I met an East Indian man from Italy. Vendors were annoyed with him because his people are not generally regarded as good buyers locally .Standing in the middle of a very expensive vendors booth he said " I'll take it.".With annoyance she countered " What , which one ?". He answered " All of it , everything .". His bill came to over $65000.00 Cdn. At that annual event he often spends up to $200,000 without ever negotiating, buying out whole displays. Buyers like him do exist but they in no way reflect everyday market realities.
