[Kam Hoi Shing Buyback Case] Mr. Chan of Kwun Tong Parts with a Premium 20-Year-Old Male Water-Zaat Fish Maw to Reallocate His Funds

Hello everyone, I am the store manager of Kam Hoi Shing. After being in the seafood buyback business for so many years, I come into contact with different customers and their treasured seafood every day. Behind every top-grade fish maw, there is a story that belongs to its owner. Today, I want to share a recent real buyback case that happened at our store, and also let everyone understand the market situation of high-quality fish maw.

Seller background and reason for sale: reallocating an unused collection

Last Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Chan (pseudonym), who lives in Kwun Tong, walked into our Kam Hoi Shing store carrying an eco-friendly bag. Mr. Chan, 65 years old, used to be in the hardware business. After retiring, he enjoys studying stocks and financial management in his spare time.

During our conversation, we learned that Mr. Chan's bag contained top-grade fish maw bought twenty years earlier, when his business was thriving and he collected fine dried seafood. He had recently identified a higher-yield financial product and decided to sell fish maw that his children found troublesome to prepare and that he could no longer finish himself. Mr. Chan said, "It is a waste to keep this fine fish maw without eating it. I would rather let Kam Hoi Shing find someone who appreciates it and use the proceeds to buy dividend stocks." The investment choice is his own and no return is guaranteed by the buyback.

Appraisal process: stunning golden luster at first sight

When Mr. Chan took out the fish maw, our masters' eyes lit up! You can see from the photos above, this batchtop-grade aged dried fish bladdersis really very well preserved.

Our Kam Hoi Shing appraisal team immediately conducted a detailed examination for Mr. Chan:

1. Observing color and age: After twenty years of storage, the fish maw has turned a very beautiful deep golden yellow, with even color and a rich glossy texture.
2. Touching Thickness and Dryness: Feels very light in hand, indicating it is 100% fully dried with no moisture affecting the weight. The middle of the gelatin is thick, and the edges shrink naturally.
3. Identifying the Texture: The natural fiber texture on the surface is clearly visible; under light, it appears crystal clear, which is a typical feature of high-quality male fish maw.

We explained the batch's strengths to Mr. Chan. Because it was well preserved, with no insect damage or mould spots, we made a preferred offer above quotations from ordinary buyback shops. Mr. Chan said another shop had quoted quite differently and felt Kam Hoi Shing's explanation was transparent and professional. Both parties then completed the transaction and we settled by prompt bank transfer.

Once you are satisfied with the preliminary online quotation, you can choose to visit our Hong Kong store in person, or schedule an in-person inspection at your location. After confirming everything is correct, we will settle on the spot via cash or bank transfer, with no delays.

Q3: If fish maw has been stored for a long time and has slight mold or worm damage, do you still accept it?

A: This depends on the extent of the damage. If it is only very slight surface white mold, after treatment it does not affect consumption, we will still buy it back at a discounted price based on the actual situation; but if it is heavily insect-eaten or has already turned black and smelly, in order to ensure food safety, we cannot buy it back.
