Chapter 463: Failed Auction
The auction procedure is particularly rigorous.
Huang Mu and several of them watched it several times, and they were afraid that something would be missed.
1. First of all, the consignor will send the physical items to be auctioned to the business location of the auction enterprise or its collection location, and the appraisal personnel of the auction enterprise will conduct appraisal to confirm whether it can be auctioned, and if so, the next step is to discuss the price and the starting price of the auction.
2. If the lot is deemed to be unable to be auctioned through the appraisal of the appraiser, it will be returned directly to the consignor. If it is considered that it can be auctioned, the business personnel shall negotiate the auction reserve price with the consignor and sign the consignment auction contract. It should be noted that when a formal auction enterprise negotiates the reserve price with the consignor, it will first seek the consignor's opinion, and if it thinks that the price is too high, it will in most cases suggest that the consignor reduce the reserve price, and will never recommend raising the reserve price under any circumstances. (However, the signed consignment auction contract will stipulate the proportion of commission to be paid after the transaction, the amount of the catalogue fee, and the amount of the unsold fee to be paid if the auction is unsuccessful);
3. The consignor shall hand over the lot to the auction enterprise for safekeeping, and the auction company will enter the auction preparation procedure and specific auction procedure operation together with other collected lots;
4. After the end of the auction, if the lot is sold, the auction company shall pay the balance to the account designated by the consignor within 15 working days after deducting the commission and catalogue fee stipulated in the consignment auction contract. If the lot is not sold, the consignor will go to the auction company and pay the auction fee stipulated in the consignment auction contract to the auction company, and then get the unsold lot back.
5、6、7…… Huang Mu and they were dazzled by these rules and regulations, they found Xiang Hongbo again, asked him about the specific operating procedures, Xiang Hongbo said: "In fact, most of the terms are binding on Party B, which is conducive to Party A, that is, the person who has a collection, you just need to understand, above your psychological price, that is, don't raise or reduce the price." ”
Xiang Hongbo adjusted the things of several of them according to his meaning, especially the most valuable bowl of Huang Mu, Xiang Hongbo said: "Auntie, I decided to go directly to 860,000 yuan, if you start with a few, if the price is low, you will shoot, and if there is no one in the follow-up, it will let the family take advantage." ”
Huang's mother was uneasy, she really didn't think it was worth so much money, so she asked, "If no one buys it, how can the cost be calculated?"
Xiang Hongbo said with some embarrassment: "This is to be paid in advance, and taxes and handling fees must be paid after the transaction, which are inevitable." There are some auctions that don't cost money, and they are basically auctions of small objects, and I don't advocate that you participate, and if you don't have the strength, you can't invite so many experts. ”
At this time, Huang Mu and the others had to listen to Xiang Hongbo, and on the day of the auction, they came to watch in fear.
The auction took place in the senior hall of a government department, and was beautifully and magnificently decorated all around.
Huang Mu opened their eyes for the first time.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's gorgeous and solemn, and there's also people from the TV station filming the whole process.
The first collection, which attracted everyone's attention, was a white porcelain vase, with a white marble-like bottle body and a smooth finish.
The close-up of this thing is presented over and over again on the big screen, making this thing even more mysterious.
When Huang Mu looked at this thing, she immediately felt that her things were really a little out of her hands, and this bottle soared from 600,000 to 1.68 million after the transaction.
Huang Mu and several of them were dumbfounded.
Finally came a few of them.
The first unsold auction.
The second unsold auction.
Third ......
Only a jade Ruyi in Uncle Wu's hand was auctioned for 25,000 and was considered a deal......
Several people's faces were dusty, especially Huang Mu.
The auction ended quickly, and she found Xiang Hongbo and asked, "Why didn't anyone auction any of mine? Didn't I pay this fee in vain? Now I have spent more than 100,000 yuan, but I have no income at all." ”
Xiang Hongbo pulled her aside and lowered his voice and said: "The boss who auctioned more than one million just now did like your bowl, but his asking price was only 300,000, if you really want to sell, I can also promote you, what is your opinion?"
"300,000? Didn't you say it's worth 800,000?" asked Huang Mu a little unwillingly.
"Don't you have to leave room for people to appreciate in value? Besides, who are they? It's all a lot of people, and if you don't have a lot of room for appreciation in your collection, and it takes ten or twenty years to see a profit, they don't like to do it. ”
As soon as Huang Mu heard that it made sense, she asked a little reluctantly: "What do you say? ”
Xiang Hongbo said: "In this way, in three months, there will be a bigger auction, I promise you, if you auction again, how about you asking for 500,000 yuan? This thing is still easy to sell for 500,000 yuan." ”
Huang Mu thought about it and wanted to say: "If I make a move for 200,000 now, I will keep a book, 300,000...... Forget it, I'll listen to you and wait for him for another three months. ”
Xiang Hongbo appeased a few more people, while Uncle Wu only kept a book, and the collection of 25,000 was just enough for his expenses, and he was the only one who did not lose money.
But a few of them didn't get too depressed when they went back, because Xiang Hongbo said that although their things are valuable, these people collect them for appreciation, so if their things are at a high price, the price space will be small, and these people won't want it, if they really want to get rid of it early, they can only lower the price, and if they are not short of money, they can raise it slowly.
Huang Mu went home and calculated, and she spent 170,000 yuan, because the auction needs to print albums, and these promotional albums use very expensive paper, so ...... So Huang Mu basically has no money on hand.
Of course, it's good to live in a villa, but the cost of living in a villa is also very considerable, Huang Xiaoxian is now the general manager, but I don't see how much money she has, Huang Mu doesn't dare to go to the antique market anymore, because her pockets are going to be empty.
Just when Huang Mu didn't know how to raise money to buy antiques again, an exciting news came that national experts were going to come to the city to appreciate treasures, which was the best time in a lifetime.
Several people who are engaged in antiques rushed to tell each other, and Huang Mu couldn't even sleep well, because there are not only national first-class connoisseurs in this expert group of appraisals, but as long as they are recognized, there is more room for appreciation of these things.
After several people discussed, they didn't tell Xiang Hongbo, but wanted to give themselves and their families an unexpected surprise.
Although the procedures such as registration are a bit cumbersome, there is no charge for a penny, which makes several people feel very comfortable.
