Dear Thayne, in what age and on which planet do you live on that makes you make such statements ? : "the Chinese government lackeys who sell hundreds and thousands of the exact same item" and "confiscations from Chinese aristocratic families". How did you come up with such incredible ideas?
What has happened in recent years are the Chinese government's crack-down on corrupt officials and a lot of money, jade, antiques and property were indeed seized from these people. But these people are no aristocrats, and I dont believe that the Chinese government would put these confiscated items up for sale, especially in eBay, either.
Those people who knowingly sell fakes on the internet, at flea marts, at estate sales or at the street corner "antique shops" are simply crooks who may come from China, USA, Europe or any part of the world.
