Just down the block from Berbere Imports is another warehouse, this time full of Chinese Antiques. Though not quite as big as its neighbor, Baoku Inc is piled high with furnishings from China and all over Asia. We're curious if anyone has bought from them since we noticed that nothing had a price tag. We figure it comes down to negotiating...
LA Store: Baoku Inc: Chinese Antiques
Address: 5887 Blackwelder Street
City: Culver City
State: CA
Zip: 90232
Phone: 310.836.6068

They carry an incredible selection of antique chairs, dressers, vases, foo dogs and prints. Everything was in good shape and there were a couple of absolutely stellar pieces. The woman was very helpful and we definitely got the feeling that depending on how much we wanted to buy the prices would change. They have a pretty extensive inventory on their website as well if you want to check it out. Of course, no prices here either! Anyone else have experience here?

OK. I just have to say that I am insanely jealous of this and other cool Asian antiques/ import stores you have in LA. I know of nothing even remotely similar here in the Boston area.

COOL! How're the prices?

The website says they do wholesale and retail, so prices probably vary. But if you were there, why didn't you ask? I doubt that they're interested in haggling, like at the swap meet.
