Chapter 58: Surprise (Three Watches)

What is bought is not sold fine, this sentence is placed in the antique industry, especially accurate.

If you think you can pick up a leak in the hands of an antique dealer, then you need to be ready to buy a fake.

And if it is genuine, in most cases, it is much higher than the market price.

The antique industry is very deep, and it is not something that ordinary people can play.

Wang Xuebin was still thinking about buying this snuff bottle for a few hundred yuan, but now he knows that the stall owner knows the origin and value of this snuff bottle, and it is impossible to pick up the leakage here with him.

Wang Xuebin is not sure of the true value of this snuff bottle, of course, since the stall owner knows that this snuff bottle is an antique, it is naturally impossible to buy it at a low price.

Wang Xuebin said apologetically: "Boss, I'll take a look again." ”

The stall owner was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go around first, if you don't like it, you will come back." ”

In fact, in the past few years, the antique street was still relatively chaotic, and forced buying and selling also happened from time to time, but in recent years, it has been cracked down by the government several times, and the management has been strengthened, and it has become much better.

Most of these stall owners are also well-behaved businessmen.

Of course, buying antiques depends on your eyesight, and according to the rules here, if you buy a fake yourself, it will be a shame.

The snuff bottle thing is tantamount to giving Wang Xuebin a slap in the face, it is not so easy to pick up the leak, even if you can see the real and fake antiques, it does not mean that you can buy the antiques you need.

Otherwise, wouldn't those antique experts have already made a fortune one by one?

But the reality is that although these antique experts can also distinguish the authenticity of antiques, they rarely pick up leaks, and it takes eyesight and luck to pick up leaks.

Wang Xuebin didn't continue to look at the stall, turned around and walked into a nearby antique shop.

The antique shop was deserted and there were no customers, just a middle-aged owner, sitting behind the counter and flipping through a book in his hand.

Seeing Wang Xuebin come in, the boss didn't get up to entertain him, but just nodded at Wang Xuebin and told Wang Xuebin that he could look at him at will, and he could find him if he needed anything.

The owner of the shop is not afraid of Wang Xuebin doing anything bad, firstly, because there are cameras in the store, and secondly, the security of the antique street is very good, and there are more policemen patrolling, and once something happens, there will be police arriving within three minutes.

Here, there have been very few accidents in the antique street over the years.

Wang Xuebin looked at the antiques in the store and asked casually: "Boss, why are these antiques not priced?" ”

The boss smiled and said: "Little brother, you are a bit of a layman who asked this, our antique shops do not mark the price, and there is no way to mark the price, because the antique thing, the market will change a little every day, maybe it will rise today, maybe it will drop tomorrow, so there is no way to mark the price, what do you want to buy, you can ask me, I will give you a real price." ”

Wang Xuebin smiled, knowing that the boss was coaxing, but he didn't refute the boss's words.

What price reduction and price increase, are all deceptive, antiques are not marked for good bargaining, because different customers, the price is not the same, the boss of the antique business, are all need a pair of good eyesight, watch people cook.

When the big boss comes, they will call the price higher, and the ordinary people who come can be cheaper.

Of course, this is just a normal business method, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Wang Xuebin asked again: "Are you all real antiques here?"

The boss smiled again and said: "Little brother is a layman again, the authenticity of antiques, no one dares to guarantee it, who dares to say that when they don't have eyes, even if it is the old one, the palace, the inside, but there are fakes, those old experts can't see it, I dare to say that I can see it accurately? There is no such thing." ”

"No one dares to say that the antiques they sell are necessarily genuine, but, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the price of my antiques here will be more expensive than the ones outside, but they are also more reliable. Of course, if you're not sure, it's best not to buy it. ”

Of course, those who do business want to sell the goods in their hands, but doing antique business is different from ordinary business, antique prices are high, and disputes are easy to occur, so when doing antique business, you should be cautious.

People like Wang Xuebin who don't know anything come to buy antiques, especially be careful, if the other party buys antiques and goes back, and says that something is wrong, when the time comes, things will be troublesome.

There are some things that need to be made clear first.

Wang Xuebin nodded, and silently began to operate the Spirit Eye Technique, and I don't know if it was a burst of luck that his Spirit Eye Technique was successfully performed again.

The world in front of me immediately turned into a black and white background, but the antiques in the room began to glow in various colors.

The light emitted by antiques varies in color and brightness.

The different colors represent the origin of the antiques, the different production techniques and materials.

The different brightness represents the length of time the antique has existed, and the depth of the spirit.

The longer it exists, the deeper the attached spirit is, and the brighter it becomes. Otherwise, it will be bleaker.

But you can't just rely on the light of antiques to determine the economic value of antiques.

Because the brightness of the light emitted by the antiques of the same era should be similar, but the economic value of the two antiques of the same era is not the same.

It is also an oil painting of the Renaissance era, and the value of the Mona Lisa's smile in oil painting is second to none, while the rest of the oil paintings are difficult to compare with it.

The Spiritual Eye Technique can only be used as an aid, and cannot judge the economic value of an antique.

This point is also a judgment that Wang Xuebin only made after he came here.

The auxiliary effect of the Spirit Eye Technique is also very powerful.

After the spiritual eye technique was activated, Wang Xuebin immediately saw the various colors of light emitted by the antiques in the room.

However, not all antiques are shining, some antiques are not shining at all, these so-called antiques, should be modern imitations, that is, fakes.

I just don't know, the shopkeeper knows if I know, these fakes.

Thirty seconds passed quickly, but Wang Xuebin still wrote down a lot of things.

Wang Xuebin pointed to a vase and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this vase?"

The boss stood up and looked at the vase pointed by Wang Xuebin, and then said: "Yongzheng enamel vase, although it is not an official kiln, it is also a fine product from the people, you have to take 160,000 yuan." ”

"160,000?" Wang Xuebin was taken aback, this thing is a fake at all, is it a modern handicraft, you sell me 160,000?

The boss saw Wang Xuebin's surprised face, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Of course, the price of antiques will not be low, let me tell you, this vase is also produced by the people, if it is a fine product from the official kiln, let alone 160,000, even if it is 1.6 million, it can't be stopped." ”

The boss said this with a nose and eyes, if Wang Xuebin hadn't used the spiritual eye technique to see that this vase was a fake, he would have really believed the boss's words.

It's just that the boss's acting skills are really good, so Wang Xuebin is not sure, does the boss in front of him know that this vase is a fake, could it be that the boss in front of him is also blind?

Wang Xuebin couldn't see through the details of the boss, so he turned his head and asked the price of several other antiques.

This boss is very patient and has an excellent attitude, Wang Xuebin asked and asked, he was not annoyed, but politely made an introduction.

"Is this a Buddha statue?" Wang Xuebin asked, pointing to a Buddha statue.

"This is the Republic of China Bronze Guanyin, eight thousand. "Knowing that Wang Xuebin was just asking the price, although the boss was still very polite, it also became simpler.

"Eight thousand?" Wang Xuebin was taken aback again, not because it was too expensive, but because it was too cheap.

He also thought that this Buddha statue would be sold for several million, but he thought that it would only cost eight thousand.
