"Eye-catching" and "picking up leaks" are the things that many people who like to search for old books experience the most. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Eye-catching" means that you are not good at learning and have not mastered the knowledge comprehensively; "Pick up leaks" because you have knowledge and information that the seller doesn't have. Therefore, in a sense, "picking up leaks" is actually a manifestation of the value of "knowledge".

But there is another situation, you know, the seller also knows, then there is no possibility of picking up the leak, if you really like this set of books, you can only wait for the seller lion to open his mouth and watch the slaughter.

At this time, no matter who it is, it will be very depressed, and that situation is like a young girl meeting a strong pervert, powerless to resist, and can only wait for ravage.

Lin Yi was in this situation at the moment, he originally thought that he had first-hand information, and he was looking forward to the fat boss "not knowing the goods", but people said such a professional term--- "grid book"!

The fat boss enjoyed Lin Yi's expression at this time, and it seemed that he spit out the word "grid book" really worked.

So the fat boss continued: "If you want to say that this grid book is another name for a series of foreign masterpieces, this set of books has been published since the fifties, like that and what, the age is very old, and this set of books is collected by many people, I heard that it is also selling very well on the Internet, this is not an ordinary book." The fat man's eyebrows fluttered, and he said a lot.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, "Then this is not a grid book of ordinary books, how much are you going to ask?" ”

Be mentally prepared to be slaughtered.

But the next words of the fat boss completely stunned Lin Yi--- "So, a book costs at least 10 yuan!" The fat boss said in a serious tone, 10 yuan was very solemn and categorical, as if this was a very sacred number and could not be disobeyed.

Hearing this, Lin Yi was even more stunned.

10 pieces a copy?

Isn't that funny?

After the fat boss finished speaking, he observed Lin Yi's expression, and when he saw Lin Yi in a daze again, the fat boss muttered in his heart, could it be that he said too much, he already knew that he was shouting 8 yuan. In fact, the fat boss used to sell this kind of book, "The Scarlet Letter", "Notre Dame de Paris", and "Decameron" or something, at first I thought it was a baby, I heard a person who bought a book say that this is called "grid book", and the name seems to be very awesome, so he didn't eat early in the morning, and he bit the baked cake to find a computer to check, who knew that this book was not valuable, and it was ten or eight dollars on the Internet, he wondered, now people will pretend to be forced, but I didn't expect even the book to pretend to be forced, so he completely died of this "grid book".

Where does the fat boss know, it's not that this book is pretending, it's purely that he doesn't know much about it, and when he first checked the grid book, he only checked the fur, and he didn't go deep into the bones, so that he didn't know the treasure with his eyes.

But then again, the price of grid books is the most difficult to grasp in used book collections, because there are too many missing books, and there are more books in general. Even some veteran players can't keep all the missing books in their minds, let alone a lazy person like the fat boss.

Seeing this, Lin Yi knew that he had to make a decision, so he pretended to grit his teeth and said: "It's cheaper, 10 yuan is too expensive, and 80 copies will be 800 yuan." "If you can't agree too simply, it's easy to arouse suspicion.

The fat man also gritted his teeth and insisted: "No, this price is the lowest, see if you can take it!" ”

Lin Yi gritted his teeth again, seemingly hesitating.

The fat boss simply stuffed a sack of books to Lin Yi and said, "That's it, these books are 10 yuan a piece, and I'll give you another one!" After speaking, the fat boss shouted behind him: "Girl, bring the book you read!" ”

I saw a little girl wearing a red Yalu down jacket sitting on the tricycle behind the bookstall and reading a book while wiping her nose, and when she heard this, she reluctantly handed the book to the fat boss, and the fat boss stuffed the book to Lin Yi and said: "This book is also grid, or hardcover, it is for you!" ”

Lin Yi: "......"

With his eyes wide open, he looked at the book, and saw that the hardcover grid book had a few words written on it--- "Hans Christian Andersen's Selected Fairy Tales"!

……

Grid books can actually be divided into two types: paperback and hardcover. The hardcover is to limit the number of publications and prints on the basis of paperback, and then work the binding, so that the cost price is relatively high, and the price is higher. But not all grid books have corresponding hardcovers, specifically, not all paperback grid books have hardcovers, from the current point of view, out of 149 kinds of grid books, there are only more than 120 hardcovers.

Therefore, the grid book collection is divided into paperback grid book collection and hardcover grid book collection.

If the paperback grid collection is compared to the "civilian collection", then the hardcover grid collection is the "local tyrant collection".

Why?

Because the very common paperback grid book is roughly 5 pieces of 8 pieces, and the cheapest hardcover grid book is often more than 300 pieces a piece, and the most expensive even reaches four or five thousand, such a hardcover book, and only the real "local tyrants" can play.

Some people here may ask, why do you have to collect it when it's so expensive? But if you don't accept the grid book, what else can you collect? Now there are very few books worth collecting, such as Nobel hardcover, the market is too scarce, it is not easy to receive, in fact, book lovers say that the grid book is not good, mainly for the problem of too high book prices. To be honest, before this year (2011), the price of the hardcover grid book was quite rational, and the scarcity was basically about two or three thousand, but now it has skyrocketed, and the price has soared directly to four thousand or five thousand.

The illustrations of the hardcover grid book are still very beautiful, but the key is the condition, and it is not easy to find a good condition. Especially for many local tyrant-level players, they would rather spend 5,000 to buy a ninety-five-grade hardcover grid than spend 500 to buy a seven-five-grade hardcover grid. You haven't touched a hardcover grid book in good condition, so you won't like it, but once you do, you're hooked and you can't stop.

Collecting books needs opportunities, like a comic book booklet that sells for tens of thousands, maybe many people don't understand, that's because many people haven't reached such a high level, but once you reach a certain level, you won't think so.

At this moment, Lin Yi suppressed his excitement and opened the hardcover "Selected Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" in his hand, People's Literature Publishing House, September 1959, 1st edition and 1st printing, with 10 illustrations of exquisite copper plate paintings, with a print run of 2,000 copies. Not to mention selling for 2,000 in such a condition, it is easy to sell for more than 1,000.

However, the generous fat boss gave it to Lin Yi and said, give it away for nothing!

Righteousness!

I have never seen such a book seller, if it weren't for the situation, Lin Yi really wanted to pick up the fat boss and kiss him fiercely.

The fat boss saw that Lin Yi seemed to be very satisfied with giving this book for nothing--- there was no way, Lin Yi could no longer control his joy, so he rubbed his fingers, which means eight hundred yuan, take it!"

Lin Yi no longer pretended to be "hesitant", and took out his wallet very neatly and counted the money, one hundred two hundred and three hundred...... Counting enough to eight hundred, he handed it to the fat boss.

The fat boss took the money and counted it again with satisfaction, no way, there are a lot of scammers now, looking at the number of eight hundred, maybe there will be three less in your hand.

The fat boss was counting the money here, but Lin Yi saw his daughter pouting in the tricycle and seemed unhappy.

When I think about it, I robbed other people's books, and they were supposed to read books in the car, but the books were bought by themselves.

So Lin Yi ran to the side to sell rice cakes, bought a large piece of rice cakes, handed it to her, and said, "I bought your book, and this rice cake is for you to eat." ”

The little girl waved her hand and said no, and then looked at her father again. The fat boss said, "Uncle gives it to you, and you take it!" ”

The girl took the rice cake embarrassedly, took a small bite, and then looked at Lin Yi and smiled.

The fat boss handed Lin Yi another cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother, I have seen a lot of people who buy books, you are really good." ”

Lin Yi smiled meaningfully: "You are better." ”

The fat boss immediately laughed and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

……

Lin Yi said goodbye to the bookstall with a sack of used books on his shoulder, and the fat boss and his daughter waved goodbye.

The people around also looked at Lin Yi with strange expressions, after all, they had never seen him buy books in a sack like this.

Lin Yi carried the sack on his back, ignored the eyes around him, and continued to move forward and continue to search for books.

For him, Taobao has only just begun--- (to be continued. )
