<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9610586, member: 10944"]Quality obviously is the most important factor in nearly any form of collectible. That said if two fans of comparable high quality were placed on eBay at the same exact time with the same exact starting price I would put my money on the Chinese fan getting more attention, at a faster rate. Just my experience but certainly I’d defer to your expertise in most areas. Good European fans definitely go for good money and have a strong collector base. Fans in general have been a profitable niche for me. The Chinese certainly produced them at a very impressive rate!</p><p><br /></p><p>edit: I looked on terrapeak at the last three years of eBay sales records. Of the top ten most expensive fans sold on eBay in that time frame five were Chinese, and five were European. Even split. Although the most expensive Chinese fan was $2,500 more than the most expensive European fan. That was using “antique hand fan” as the search term. It’s a bit tricky because different people use different keywords. A search of just “fan” will get you industrial and home electric fans mostly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
