You're gonna love this... my fiance went to the flea market early this morning and came back with some Mauviel frying and sauce pans. They are awesome pieces but what's great is she got them for about 15 cents on the dollar. Brand new. She is a talented shopper.

I do believe you are correct. I knew I loved it for some reason.

Hahaha, so naive you are. Not all good deals just appear. Truly talented shoppers are successful based on sheer persistence, which is great, as long as you aren't being dragged around Hong Kong for the better part of three days looking for an elusive deal on a digital camera. I can't say those are three days of my life I want to get back. Those days grow fonder as the years go by. However, I do wish that my relatives had actually bought a camera at the end of those three days

I'm sure you'll have some funny stories to share though

I think you missed the part where I stayed home and she goes by herself.

Sounds like you skipped that important part of the HK deal.

Disclaimer: I hit said flea market once every month or 2 with her. I enjoy it.

They say everything in HK has five prices: Local price -> Chinese -> Japanese -> Korean -> American/Euro tourist. We of course are on the bottom rung... I didn't do too bad but then again I'll never know. Ignorance is bliss...

Oh man and my fiance is Korean so that's not much of an upgrade there. Looks like I'll cross off HK on our travel list.

Ah come on Dave. You gotta stop in HK at least once in your life. I had no idea what I was doing when I went there and it was still fun. If you could find the one corner of Kowloon that sells all the commercial cookware and supplies, I'm sure you be in heaven. Besides, I know your fiance would fair better than all the Japanese, and Ron, especially if Ron's parts buying and selling habits are any indication of his wheeling and dealing skills. And Ron still said he hada good time

Any link to where that car was for sale? Not that I would want to buy it, but I'd love to see more pictures!

Thanx!

I was kidding. We have a trip to Asia planned eventually. I've never been and she has relatives in S Korea still.

Ron probably bought a ton of things and resold them at break even before ending up with his final goodies if I had to guess.

I posted the 2 best pics I could find. I exchanged a couple emails with the owner and that was it.
