<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 249912, member: 25"]I have noticed a peculiar thing about Herend, in British salerooms at least, and that is that although the make does not turn up all that often, when it does it is one type of 'luxury goods' that sometimes sells for very little, certainly in comparison to the new price. I have some half dozen or so pieces I have picked up at auction for maybe £20 or so per piece, usually in mixed or multiple lots. At the same time ebay prices for Herend seem to be far higher. The US domestic market may be very different from the UK one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have toured the Herend factory in Hungary and seen the work that goes into these things, but I still think the factory gate prices of these articles are astronomical. Or maybe it is just the retail markup that is astronomical. </p><p><br /></p><p>I want one of these or similar but will wait till I see one, it also has to be what I consider cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]77000[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
