Q: Best thing to buy in China
What is the best thing, service, etc. to buy in China that you would avoid buying at home?
A 1-way ticket out?
(Sorry, it was the first thing that came to my mind.)

Yeah, my answer was the first thing that popped into my head, but I like your answer better! 
Top level service at the local massage joint. I've never even considered going for a massage in the US.
Xpat.John:
I have a pocket full of VIP cards that various vendors and officials have given me over the years. If you ever have the chance to go for the 'emperors package' at a high end massage place, go for it. It is worth every single jiao.
There are a great many things I buy only here because I know the manufacturers personally and have assurance of their high standards and durability. But the same things I wouldn't touch with a barge-pole back home, they're all made in China.
I'm sorrry. I'm Ruuude. I'm sorrry.
To answer your question seriously, i'd have to say musical instruments. Not all musical instruments, no, no, no, no, NO. You can get some very high quality musical instruments here at extraordinarily good prices. But you can also get some crap. If you know how to look however, you can save a great deal of money.

M,
"But..................made in China." There's nothing for you to apologize about. You're speaking TRUTH! Good on ya! ^^
