Hm... Sorry but I have to strongly disagree with you on the IPB statement.  There is little left that people don't know about with the age of the internet, and there is very little bargain left in IPB.  I recently saw a early Ye Zhong San (the real thing, yes, and dated 1905) in JJ (believe it or not), and the seller knew very well what it was worth.  He was Thai Chinese and obviously could read and research on English and Chinese priced it at 150,000 baht (say 4,500 USD for everyone here). When I asked him how he thought he would sell it at JJ market at that price, his simple reply was that there were plenty Chinese who would think it was a bargain, given how auctions were going, and referred to the Bloch auctions and that he was not in a hurry.
