You just keep on confirming earlier suspicions, working in China and knowing base wage rates, etc...Also, this reflects my general opinion on ebay, outside of just pure luck of the draw and the instant for the trained eye, which is great ofcourse when it happens to us, but not often and not very likely, I suppose...  Am I correct to assume that there are pre-sold lists for the better artist's materials if they dont have easy access to online or other means of marketing?  Never having been to Hengshui or other inside-painting Meccas, it is great to get this info from you.  I am told there are nearly 40,000 people employed in the inside painting industry, hence the mass of product available.  Is this anywhere near the real fact?

I also hear of students copying the students of the modern masters, etc (just like this happened since the beginning of the art), so this makes it even harder to discern reality from fiction.

So, how DO these people market, if at all?  It is word of mouth? And who are the respectable middle-persons?   Too many questions.  Very happy this forum exists.  Have been looking for like-minded folks to communicate with about this hobby for a long time!

Thx!
