Dear Peter, George, et al,
    I just read this thread from the beginning.
There has never yet been an IPSB which sold for US$800,000. The highest ANY IPSB has fetched till now , was under US$180,000, for a Ma Shaoxuan portrait bottle, sold in NYC. George Bloch bought it to set a base price for the other 20 he had.
    I'm sorry guys, but this whole thread is as much BS as the 99% versus the 1% BS of the Democrats and their president.
   If you want to buy VMIPSBs, buy them; I know I do.
  And  if you want to buy the works of the 'Old Masters' of IPSBs, for big bucks (or small bucks, if you are like Tom B., Steven, Giovanni, etc.; seemingly, everyone but me!  Sad), then buy them; I know I do and will.
 Pseudo-ethical, self-righteous posturing and preaching is really counter-productive, IMHO.
Sorry,
 Joey
