With selling objects like these you need to have the original receipt, when you get it valueed by a auction appraiser. Some major auction houses will take in only important piece, while others less reputable auctions will take in anything including fakes, as they do not have enough know how to tell between the real and fake. The color of this bi isn't the best. I suspect your bi is nepherite and of the Han dynasty and probably worth $2000 and $3000 USD, however to prove it's provenance you need the sale receipt other wise not may people will dare to risk bidding due to lots of good quality fakes around. The ultimate price will depend on how many people in the auction interested in the item. As for selling to an antique shop it would be hard to sell for a good price as they will pay you traditionnally 1/3 of the price you originally paid. Regards, Larry
