BJ Olympic merchandise gold in hot sale

It's not just athletes who are aiming for Gold at the Beijing Games. Collectors of Olympic paraphernalia can't get enough of Olympic-related goods that are made of the precious metal. And they have more than enough to choose from, including gold badges, mini Olympic torches and even gold Bird's Nests.

Some are relatively affordable, but others don't come cheap. One Olympic gold bar is priced at more 10,000 yuan, but that has not stopped many eager buyers. Many of the limited edition items often sell out with an hour of release, with some buyers even splurging on several pieces of the same product.
