There is a self-proclaimed Beijing crazy brother, posted a technical post on the strange stone forum, called how to evaluate his own stones, he according to the classification and scoring system, to evaluate the value of stones.

Here's how:

How to price your own stones?

As we all know, how to price the strange stone is by far the most headache in the strange stone world, because the "strange stone pricing" does not have any data to follow, it is impossible to count at all, and no matter how advanced the computer is, it will not come in handy.

However, how to price the strange stone relatively reasonably is the method that the majority of stone friends want to master the most, and it is also the thing that buyers and sellers of the strange stone are most eager to know.

I believe that since the strange stone has entered the category of the commodity market from the pure collection field, then, the price of the strange stone should be based on evidence, it should tend to be reasonable, so that the kind of sky-high asking price, or careless to be deceived can be less, the strange stone products can really enter the homes of ordinary people, in order to get more ordinary lovers of the attachment (dare to invest), the strange stone market can be orderly and stable development, the growth of the strange stone market is also the ultimate wish of all strange stone lovers.

I am not talented, although the collection of strange stones for nearly ten years, a few years ago, the pricing of strange stones is also the second monk is confused, to the strange stones are set up are "luck, catch the big head" price, for fear of selling at a loss, for fear of being picked up by others.

Coincidentally, there are still a lot of such people today, especially some novices who are susceptible to media hype, who always feel that the stones in their hands are priceless, but they are always hit by the market and confused by the troubles of "price but no market".

Because, from a macro point of view, every stone in the world is a strange stone, and it has an irreproducible and unique personality in the world, and it is reasonable that it cannot be accurately priced.

However, if you want to make profits by selling strange stones, increase your ability to understand strange stones by selling them, and increase your confidence and interest by selling them, then you should understand some of the value factors of strange stones and give your stone a market position as accurate as possible.

Again, I am not talented, for the problem of strange stone pricing, just boldly put forward their own pricing thinking and way, just for your reference, please advise me if it is wrong.

First of all, to position yourself, that is, what type of stone player do you belong to?

I simply divide the stone men into three types of people.

1. Stone farmers and stone merchants, this kind of people are people who rely on the sale of stones for their food, and they have the conditions to pick up stones themselves, or buy stones in bulk at a low cost.

2. Part-time enthusiasts, this kind of people have their own occupations, collecting stones, storing stones, selling stones is just a hobby, maybe you can go to the ground to pick up stones in person, maybe you can spend money to buy stones in the hands of stone farmers or in the strange stone market, and sell stones according to personal living conditions and personal wishes.

3. Collectors, this kind of people are generally rich people, or experienced industry insiders, including rich but inexperienced novices, they spend money to hoard, collect strange stones, they like to participate in auctions, and the fine stones that are recognized by the public generally can't escape their eyes.

This kind of person generally does not sell stones, and once they do, the price is very high, and there is no law to follow.

Okay, you can set yourself a spot first!

Once the location is set, we can talk about the problem of the pricing of strange stones.

For the first type of people and the third kind of people, this article does not do too much analysis, in general, if you are the first type of person, your pricing must not be too high, if you make money, you can make a move, as for the excess value of those cultures, antiques, hunting, and rarity contained in the stone, don't think too much.

If you are a third person, you can set a price for the strange stones, as long as you are not short of money, and the good stones will last a lifetime in your home. Next, I will mainly talk about the second type of people, because this group of people is the largest number, and I myself am currently in this group, of course, the second type of people's pricing of strange stones is also the embodiment of the mass market, which tends to be more rational.

So, how do you put a price on the stones in your hands? I have summarized the following ten principles to follow:

First, the type (origin) value of the stone: completely follow the principle of "rare is expensive", you must understand the basic price of all kinds of stones in the market, in order to accurately determine whether your stone belongs to the range of rare varieties, some stone species are endangered, that must have collectible value, the price can be higher.

In addition, the price of stones with good texture and good jade degree is also higher.

Second, strange stones are used for ornamentation and play (wearing), there is a difference between the two prices, the value of ornamental stones is higher, and the value of strange stones played (worn) is lower, because there are better gems (diamonds, jade, jade, etc.) in the world of stones that can be used for people to choose.

Of course, the value of a good quality play stone can be very high, but this is only a special case.

Third, the value of the strange stone is reflected: the quality is composed of stone and pictograms, and the stone is evaluated according to the principle of rare and expensive, such as gemstones, bloodstone, malachite, mineral crystals, fossils, meteorites, etc., which are relatively high value stones, and pictograms should be subdivided.

Fourth, pictograms are divided into two types: stone pictograms and pictograms, and the value of the former is higher than that of the latter.

The stone pictogram can also be subdivided.

Fifth, the value of stone pictograms can be roughly sorted as follows: figurative is greater than abstract, human figures are greater than animals, and animals are greater than flowers, trees, and landscapes;

Sixth, the figurative evaluation criteria are roughly divided into: size, structure, color, charm, etc., and the closer to the physical object, the higher the value.

For example, a large stone in a house is like an ant in size, a person with a large head but a small body is poor in structure and out of proportion, a black tree is poor in color, and a human body like a plant is poor in charm, etc.

Of course, the overall pictogram is more valuable than the local pictogram, for example, only the human head pictogram is certainly less valuable than the human pictogram with a head, body, legs and feet, and the proportions of human organs or limbs are harmonious.
