Chinese linking rings rare eng packaging.
Over on ebay.com there is the classic chinese linking rings tenyo trick, but it is in english packaging,i have only ever seen this in japanese packaging ? sorry i cant put the link up it will not let me for some reason has anybody else seen this or has this trick in eng box??

That’s T-70 in the very old and rarely seen English package. Someone else listed one just like it in the very old Japanese packaging which is the same except for the language.
I suspect that only a Tenyo completist with an almost complete collection of T numbers will want it for the high price it will end up selling for. It’s already over $200.

Just because of the packaging !BluBob wrote:I think it went for somewhere around $523.00
You can get around 35 - 40 sets of Tenyo new Japanese packaging today.
Re: Chinese linking rings rare eng packaging.
If it really did sell, it was someone with a huge Tenyo collection who needed the piece for the packaging. I can think of two or three people in that category.

Re: Chinese linking rings rare eng packaging.
So weird that I was looking through my collection last week and pulled out my Japanese packaged version of Chinese Linking Rings. I then opened Tenyoism to see if Richard had the English version in the book. He had the Japanese version but also a small picture of the English version from a catalog with the caption saying that no example could be located. At that time I did not even notice the picture of the English package and the caption. I left the book open at that page in my living room where I keep the gigantic tomes.
A few days later the auction pops up and I see it. I don't regularly look on ebay anymore, I was probably looking for a price on something I have to sell. I didn't even realize at first that it was the English version. It was at $25. I looked at Tenyoism again and I then notice the English picture and caption.
I was thinking maybe I could win this with a bid just over $100. The next morning it was at about $140. I was possibly going to go higher, maybe $200 but that though was null and void as the price quickly went to about $250. I was out at that point. It finished at $543.

Steve was right that two or three people would want this. Obviously two people did to the tune of $500+ Dollars. The next one, if/when there is one, will possibly go for a lot less.
