The price of ancient painted pottery, for example, has tumbled in recent years as large quantities of it have been unearthed on the mainland, and investors who paid hefty prices for a piece several years ago can now only sigh at their ill timing.
例如在彩陶剛出土時，收藏家競相搶購，一個不怎麼起眼的彩陶罐動輒叫價百萬元，但近年中國大陸大量出土後，彩陶身價暴跌，當初高價收購的投資者，也只有自嘆時運不濟了。
