Robert Tsao: From the outset, you must only buy works that are genuine. Some people say that buying fakes is all part of the learning experience, but this kind of approach is wrong. Right from the start, collectors must not take in fakes because ‘like attracts like’. Once you start buying fakes, you are bound to continue in the same vein. It’s like wandering off the straight and narrow in one’s youth — it becomes impossible to disentangle oneself.
If you have one, please don't exchange as the unscrupulous or lowballers will use a real one and say yours is either cheap or fake and exchange it with your prized possession. Many novices have been conned and cheated in this manner. If the unscrupulous do approach you, tell them you'll buy from them at their price.
For instance if they offer $38, you can counteroffer and ask them to sell to you if they have to which they'd have all sort of excuse. If they can't get from you, they'd later tell you that they managed to buy at $28.
Only invest according to your budget. Don't overstretch. Don't believe in sensational stories as they are all cooked up to lure the gullible for the house/seller to exit with gargantuan profit.
The amulet market is highly manipulative, contriving and not for the faint-hearted. It's akin to the financial markets. You will see all types of people, the good, the bad, the ugly. Take it as character building.
Human behaviour never change. Market never change. It is always accumulation and distribution.
And, If the Price Seems Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is.
