No they are oK

the older progz have updated values depending on the market

in general they have not kept up with erm property prices
and some have really lagged - mahogany and sliver both of which I like and therefore there are bargains to be had.

auctions are cheapest
and insurance values are the highest because the money will beused to replace

The value of an obhect is the price you get at an auction (Morgan Fairchild)
The value of an object at auction is what the under bidder (he what is the last to bid besides the winner) thinks it is worth (Brian Sewell)


munn tends to go at �1000/carat of diamond which is the current auction price


They are highly selected pieces (having had one that was filmed and then not broadcast)


and if you get the 'wrong' expert - one ofthem doesnt read chinese which I always think of when I hear him talking about chinese blue and white - none of the inscribed ware gets a fair outing

swings and roundabouts
