Is this price correct?

by bagua7 » Dec 18th, '10, 10:03

I just came across this sheng caked priced at CNY ¥ 184800 ($27,766) and was wondering if it was for real or not. It was produced in the year '99.

I guess the 18k is the price for 1 jian (box), which, according to their info., has 84 cakes in it. The price for a cake is 2800. Not that it's not expensive... :wink:

In fact, that price has been pretty static for a little while...

Tho' I think that because it's a collector's price and not a drink price.

Here they also sell this cake:

The price they quoted a couple of months ago was around US$ 230 per cake.
You can order from them on the phone, but oversea orders are not their main business.

Thanks for letting me know how to translate that page which is rather confusing. Anyway 2,800 for a sheng is well beyond my current budget, for sure.
