Early in the morning, Dong Glasses came to the Happy Community with a familiar car, this community belongs to an ordinary residential area, Dong Glasses often walks around here, and the person who looks at the gate also knows him, so he let him slip in without much embarrassment.

Coming to the building where he received the book last time, Dong Glasses first observed the terrain, then took out a cheap cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it leisurely, he felt like an underground party member in those spy war movies, but his appearance was sloppy and obscene, and in the eyes of outsiders, he looked like a spy who broke into the people.

When a small cigarette was almost smoked, a couple came down from upstairs, drove the red BYD parked on the side of the road, and left slowly.

Dong Glasses hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt and muttered: "Dog, it's not easy to make money." "Hurried up to the third floor.

Ringing the doorbell skillfully, the security door opened, and the head of a bear child poked out of it, "Come in." ”

The bear child knows Dong Glasses, and Dong Glasses also knows him.

Dong Glasses was just about to enter the house, and the bear child suddenly said, "Shoes, take off your shoes." ”

Dong Glasses then remembered the rules here, and when he entered someone's house, he had to take off his shoes, so he rubbed his heels against each other, and took off his shoes numbly, revealing socks with big holes, and the room was filled with an unpleasant smell of sweat.

The bear child frowned, "Uncle, can you wash your feet, the last time you came to my house, our house stinked to death, and I was scolded by my mother." ”

"Ahem, I'll pay attention next time, I'll pay attention." Dong glasses' old face was hot, rubbing his feet, and he didn't know where to go.

Fortunately, at this time, the bear child pulled out a box of things, and the box was full of comic books. These comic books are together with the "Female Divine Fighter" that I received last time, but Dong Glasses was afraid that he would not be able to sell them, so he didn't dare to shoot them.

"Oh, that's all, it's all my dad's collection of things, and I gave it to me, I don't like to see it, you can make a bid at will!" The bear child seems to be very indifferent, not only does he not like to read these books, but he also thinks that they take up too much space, and it is a double benefit to be able to dispose of them as waste.

From the eyes and tone of the bear child, Dong Glasses felt that he was being regarded as a waste collector, but he was a reader, a book seller, not an uneducated person.

"I'll see how many there are first." Dong Glasses tried his best to suppress his royal spirit, and tried his best to compress his dignity to the level of collecting waste, because he knew that only at such a level could he accept these books very cheaply.

When the bear child saw this, he no longer paid attention to him, but continued to play with his mobile phone, and did not look at Dong glasses.

Dong glasses swallowed and foamed, thinking that this kid was very rude, and he didn't know how to pour a glass of water, well, forget it, Lao Tzu is busy making money and doesn't care about you.

Looking closely, all the comic books are set and outset, there are 200 in total. Dong Glasses rolled his eyes and said, "Almost 150 copies-" His heart darkened, and he directly greedily bought 50 copies.

He waited for the bear child's reaction, and sure enough, the bear child waved his hand in a very loser manner, and didn't count, "Then calculate it according to 150, how much is it?" ”

"Last time I received 45 copies from you, I used 10 yuan, and these 150 books are 30!" Dong glasses waited for the bear child to bargain.

The bear child once again played the true character of a loser, "I still have a box of others in the house, do you want it, if you want it, sell it to you for 20 yuan, well, make up 50 yuan!" ”

"I don't want books, magazines, or anything." Dong glasses said in his mouth, but his eyes looked into the inner room.

It didn't take long for the bear child to pull out another box of books and put them in front of Dong Glasses, "Oh, that's all." ”

Dong Glasses squatted down and looked through it, frowning, because it was not a book, just a large number of sketches, human body sketches, dynamic sketches, static sketches, etc., full of boxes.

Dong Glasses used to sell these things, but they were very difficult to sell, and almost all those who studied art went to bookstores to buy new ones, and basically no one bought such old ones.

"Ahem, these things...... It's not easy to sell. "Dong glasses are rare to be honest once.

The bear child is rarely shrewd, "If you don't want these, I won't sell them." ”

Dong Glasses secretly greeted the mother of the bear child, and touched the 100 yuan deposit given by Lin Yi, even if it costs 50 yuan, there is still money to be made, what are you afraid of.

So gritting his teeth, Dong Glasses said, "Okay, deal!" ”

……

Lin Yi didn't expect Dong Glasses to call so soon, and when he arrived at Dong Glasses' second-hand book warehouse, Dong Glasses was sitting on two boxes, smoking and rubbing his feet.

Seeing Lin Yi, Dong Glasses spit out a circle of eyes leisurely, and said, "Brother Lin, I have to pay for these books for you, people temporarily increase the price, I have to ask for 2 yuan a book, what do you say?" ”

Last time, I said that one piece of five one book, but now it has become two, this Dong glasses is really good at business.

"How many copies are there?" Lin Yi smiled, there was an indescribable elegance.

Dong Glasses was stunned, feeling that Lin Yi seemed to be a little different from yesterday, and he couldn't say what was different.

"Look at it yourself, I counted 200 copies." Dong Glasses got up and pushed the box containing the comics to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi opened the box and looked at it, a box full of comics, what "Peacock King", "Youyou Baishu", "Football Player", etc., just when Lin Yi was flipping through it, a trace of fragrance wafted in, and it was the same as last time, it was also the fragrance of oranges, Lin Yi sniffed, and soon found a large set of books from the comic books - "Dragon Ball", Hainan Edition, all 78 copies were printed in one edition in 1991. The whole set of books is protected with plastic film and tied with thin wire, and even if it is less than ten grades, it is still nine or five grades.

Could it be that only this set is worth money?

Lin Yi thought about it, so he asked, "How much money is this set of "Dragon Ball"? ”

Dong Glasses raised his chin proudly, "I don't open these books and sell them, if you want them, you can shoot them." ”

200 books, then 400 yuan.

Lin Yi frowned.

Dong Glasses rolled his eyes, afraid that Lin Yi would not buy it, so he kicked another box with his foot and said, "Don't say I'm not interesting enough, 400 yuan, and I'll give you another box of these things." ”

For Dong Glasses, these things are basically garbage, and they also take up space in the warehouse, so it is better to give them to this fool as a favor.

Lin Yi walked over, opened the box, and saw that it was all sketches and other drafts, and it was estimated that these were all things that Dong Glasses didn't want.

Just as he was thinking, a hint of apple came out of it. It's a little heavier than the orange flavor in the front, is there something good in it too? Lin Yi was so excited in his heart that he almost showed it.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Yi said quietly: "Okay, just do what you want - well, it's rare to come to your warehouse, and I'll look at other books." ”

Lin Yi pretended to be interested in the other books in the warehouse, so as to divert Dong Glasses' attention.

Sure enough, as soon as Dong Glasses heard that Lin Yi wanted to buy other books, he tried his best to introduce, "These are fortune tellers, these are qigong books, and these are some of my collection of medicine books...... I don't usually let people come to this warehouse, you're the first one! ”

Lin Yi smiled and browsed the old books on the iron shelves with his hands behind his back, there were a lot of old books, at least four or five thousand, most of them were tattered, either eaten by insects or bitten by rats.

Lin Yi didn't plan to buy these rags, but Dong glasses had been by his side for a long time, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't choose one, so Lin Yi closed his eyes and tried to use his sense of smell to pick out some books with a little bit of bookish fragrance from them.

In this way, more than a dozen books were selected, and most of them were in eight or five grades, which was already very good compared to those rags.

These books are-

In 1958, the small thin book "Chinese Famous Recipes" published by the Young Industry Publishing House was published in 1 to 10 series, missing the eleventh series, a total of 10 copies;

In 1980, the People's Education Publishing House published the "Five-Year Primary School Chinese Textbook", volumes 1 to 10, ten complete sets;

In 1984, Jilin Fine Arts published "Selected Paintings of Qi Baishi", a large 8-page edition, one edition and one printing, only 3,000 copies were printed.

In 1990, Liaoning Science and Technology published the medical book "Theory of Qi and Blood", one edition and one printing, with a print run of 2006 copies;

2010 Palace Museum Calendar, published by the Palace Museum in 2010, hardcover 32 folios;

……

Lin Yi often visits used book stalls and knows some knowledge of collecting used books.

Generally speaking, there are four major elements to collecting old books, first, age, second, condition, third, print run, fourth, edition.

Generally speaking, the older the "age", the more valuable it is, especially now that old books from the fifties and sixties are rare, those in the seventies and eighties have also entered the collection period, and those in the nineties are potential stocks.

Needless to say, the better the condition of the old book, the newer the preservation, the more valuable it is, and only those that are tattered, even if the content value is great, is greatly discounted in terms of price.

The so-called "number of prints" is the "number of prints" written on the copyright page of a book, often the fewer the number of prints, the more expensive the book, generally speaking, only 300 copies are printed, most of them are rare books, the print volume is 1000, 2000, 3000 is a scarce book, and the print run is 4000 to 8000 is a lack of copies, and so on, if the print is tens of thousands, don't consider whether it is lacking, unless it belongs to a set of books in the missing book, or a series of books and the like.

Of course, it is not a good book with a small print run, and some books with little content or anonymous authors published at their own expense are often few but of little value. There are also some unpopular books, don't think about it.

Finally, there is only one principle regarding editions, and that is that "one edition, one printing" is the best most of the time.

Many books are published at different times, and the book printed in one edition is the earliest "original" version, and the second printing and second publication of the later edition may have modifications, deletions, additions, etc. in terms of content, which destroys the "originality" of the book, which is a strict defect for lovers of collecting old books. So one edition and one print is very important for the collection of used books.

……

"Alright, that's all." Lin Yitong's sensitive sense of smell swept through the thousands of old books, and made sure that there were not too many "fish that slipped through the net", so he put those books away and let Dong Glasses settle the account.

Dong Yan saw that Lin Yi had picked so many books at once, and his heart blossomed.

"Chinese Famous Recipes" books from the fifties, these books are not easy to preserve, and they are difficult to find, and they are practical, one costs 3 yuan, a total of 30 yuan;

"Five-year Primary School Chinese Textbook" is 2 yuan a piece, and 10 books are a total of 20 yuan.

"Selected Paintings of Qi Baishi" belongs to the category of calligraphy and painting, and it is also more expensive, 30

"The Theory of Qi and Blood" is also more expensive because it is a medical book, 20 yuan;

The "Forbidden City Calendar" seems to be too ordinary, just 10 yuan;

……

Five kinds of books have a total of 110, and Dong Glasses has a bold discount, totaling 100 yuan.

Coupled with the 400 comic books and sketch manuscripts just now, Lin Yi paid a total of 500 yuan.

Collect 500 at once, except for 50 for buying books, and earn 4500 for another sale!

Four hundred and five, four hundred and five, this takes a few days to earn from a stall.

Dong glasses are bubbling with beauty in his heart, and the more he looks at Lin Yi, the more he feels that he looks handsome enough.

Before leaving, Lin Yi did not forget to greet Dong Glasses and keep any good books for himself in the future.

Dong glasses patted his chest and promised that he would definitely be.

Emotional: There are too few such fools, I will definitely kill you well in the future.
