antique appraiser

Not everyone who makes antiques is like Qu Jingshui or Zuo Qingfeng, who open their stores and wait for business to come.For ordinary people, their assets may not be enough to open a shop in a place like Antique Street, so the usual choice is to set up a stall on the street of Antique Street, put their belongings on it, and then sit beside the stall and wait. Let interested people look at their objects.

There are not too many constraints in this way of setting up stalls, and there is no appraiser to judge whether the things they put out are real or not. Therefore, the things on the street stalls are real or fake. Maybe you bought one in these places. You think it is a priceless item, but in fact it is worthless at all. On the other hand, there are also situations where you buy a small item at random, and it turns out that the item is extremely precious, and you can get tens of thousands of times the profit by changing hands. .An object can make you rich overnight, and it can also make you lose everything and live on the street. This is the charm of antiques.

It is also because of this that many people are more interested in these street stalls than ordinary antique stores. Think about it, how interesting is the legend of finding real treasures among those ordinary things?

In the early morning of the weekend, people of all colors brought their belongings and once again gathered on both sides of the antique street, set up stalls, and started a day's business.

Wen Liyan got up early in the morning, and usually went directly to Guangyuan, and then sat for a day, just looking at these people on the street, and suddenly became interested in strolling here.He didn't visit these places before because he didn't know how to appraise antiques at all. Now that he has learned so much, should it be practiced?

Thinking about it this way, Wen Liyan is not in a hurry to go to Guangyuan, after all, it is early in the morning, there will not be a few people to appraise it, and the store has not been cleaned up yet, so let him stroll here if he has time.

For the serious shop Guangyuan, this time is not yet open for business, but for the small stalls on the street, it is already a busy time.People who shop for treasures, tourists, masters of picking up leaks, and people of all kinds shuttle on the street, occasionally stopping in front of a certain stall, looking at a certain item on it, asking the price, buying it after an agreement is made, and talking about it. Leave if you don't feel right, it's bustling and lively.

These people who set up stalls are very mobile. Maybe they just got a certain item and came to set up a stall, or they got a batch of fake items and came to cheat and leave. Except for some old people who have a fixed supply Sellers, no one can tell whether the person who set up a stall in a certain place today will be there tomorrow.

And Wen Liyan, just like ordinary tourists, started from the street with great interest and looked at the things on each stall one by one.

When Wen Liyan first came to this era, he had actually seen such roadside stalls. The Ugly Liangye wine bottle was the beginning of his foothold in this era.Unlike those small vendors who used to use woven cloth to lay their products on the ground, the high-tech of this era allows small vendors to use those magical sheets, which float in the air like tables, and sellers do not have to sit low. Instead of sitting on a short stool, you can also float in the air with the help of the new human magnetic field magnetic levitation technology, so you can sit as comfortably as you like.

Wen Liyan has also seen a lot of future high-tech during this period, and he will not look like a bumpkin like he did at the beginning, and find everything incredible.He glanced at the objects on the surrounding stalls, relying on his own knowledge to determine whether they were true or false.

That plastic vase?Wen Liyan didn't remember that there would be such a large vase shape for plastic utensils. Even if there were, there were not many of them in his era. How could it be so easy to preserve to this era?Eighty percent are fakes.

Hmm, ancient books?What kind of words are written on the cover? They simply randomly added a few ancient characters to bully ordinary people who don't understand ancient characters, so they are so shoddy?

Hey?It turned out to be chopsticks?It's really interesting, but it seems to be a pair of bamboo chopsticks without any patterns, and the padding is intact, but it is not considered expensive.

Wen Liyan looked at the various objects and found it very interesting. Compared with the things brought out by people in the antique shop, the objects on the street are more abundant and all-encompassing, which made Wen Liyan more knowledgeable.

Continuing to walk along the street, Wen Liyan looked left and right, and then a bright color flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he turned his head to look over, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

It turns out that there will be such things?

At the booth that Wen Liyan looked at, there was a Rubik's cube.This is the colorful thing Wen Liyan saw just now.

The Rubik's Cube can be regarded as a plastic device, but I don't know if people in this era know the origin and use of this object. If they know, the value of this thing should go up, but if these people don't know that the Rubik's Cube is used to make What's the matter, just consider it as a general plastic device purely from the shape and color of the Rubik's Cube, the price of the Rubik's Cube should not be very high, if you buy it back and fry it a little, maybe you can make a lot of profit?

Wen Liyan can be considered to have some money now. After all, the appraiser's salary is not simply calculated according to the monthly amount, but is calculated according to the number of objects appraised and the value of the objects. After leaving, Wen Liyan's reputation continued to rise. The more things he appraised, the more money he had. Now Wen Liyan has also paid back the rent that Qu Jingshui gave him before, and he still has some money in his hand, which is quite ample. .It can be seen that if the success of his identification continues, he will soon become a rich man, no longer renting a house, but buying a house by himself.

Walking over, squatting in front of that booth, Wen Liyan glanced around the items on the booth, the Rubik's Cube, a few ordinary plastic bottles—probably not genuine, a broken old mobile phone, a few pieces of glassware, There are also some plastic pieces.

Plastic pieces, in this era, are like copper coins in the past. They are the most common things in the antique market. They may not be of any value, but there is no guarantee that there are some plastic fragments in them, which can be used to piece together an object. The value can be increased by a hundred times, and there are many people who don't think about buying anything priceless. They just come to the antique street to play, and they take back a few plastic pieces as souvenirs.

There are probably hundreds of plastic sheets on this booth, and they are all piled up at the front, and the stall owner doesn't care too much. Seeing Wen Liyan looking at those plastic sheets, he said directly: "Ten yuan a piece, it's a dump." ah."

Wen Liyan just smiled at the stall owner's statement. Although he didn't come to the street very often, after all, he has been in the antique street for such a long time. The price of ten yuan a piece is not considered expensive, nor is it considered a dump. , It’s just what the stall owner said to make it easier to sell, so don’t worry about it.

I casually picked it up in the pile of plastic pieces, and saw a few keyboard keys, some plastic bottle caps, and a few buttons, and some large pieces of plastic that I couldn't tell where they came from, with their own colors. , it looks bright.

Then Wen Liyan saw a particularly regular piece of plastic, it was square, or bright red, it looked pleasing, but what could have such a piece of plastic on it?Putting the piece of plastic in the palm of his hand and looking at it, Wen Liyan put it aside and continued to rummage through the pile of plastic pieces.

Triangular ruler, the scale is blurred, and a corner is missing; hair scratches, only half of it is left; the lid of the skin care product box has no trademark... These once ordinary things have become antiques, how interesting.

With interest, Wen Liyan picked out a dark blue triangle, not a triangle ruler, without scales, but somewhat similar to the square one just now. Then, he sharply saw another small yellow triangle that was only half the size of the square. Triangle, also picked out and set aside.

These three pieces of plastic...how could they give him a familiar feeling?I always feel that they should be a set. Although the colors are different, the material, hardness and thickness all have the feeling of a set.

Picking up the three plastic pieces, Wen Liyan was a little confused. He believed in his intuition, because these intuitions were based on his living experience in the past era. As long as it is familiar to him, there must be a mystery. It's just that he didn't think of it for the time being.

Simply let it go, and continue to look for plastic sheets with similar material hardness and thickness, and bright colors in the plastic sheet.

After he found all the plastic pieces that met the requirements in the pile of plastic pieces, Wen Liyan's mouth twitched.It's actually this... Should it really be placed with the Rubik's Cube?But he was not in a hurry, he raised his head and asked the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell this?" He pointed to the Rubik's Cube.

"This one," the stall owner looked at the Rubik's Cube on the booth, and opened his mouth, "Eight—I won't sell it! I won't sell it!" He was obviously about to call for a price, but suddenly changed his words.

"Not for sale?" Wen Liyan was surprised, it wasn't on the booth, so how could it not be for sale?

"Not for sale! This is one of my favorite items. It's just brought to the market, so how can I sell it!" The stall owner waved his hand, as if there was absolutely no possibility of bargaining.

"Come on! This guy just saw that this item is something you, Mr. Wen, liked and thought it was valuable, so he said he wouldn't sell it." The boss at the booth next to him smiled, stared at Wen Liyan, and said, " Mr. Wen, don’t you think that others won’t recognize you? Just based on your name, we have to weigh up what you want to buy. If you sell a treasure for a cheap price, it will defile you. reputation!"

ha?

Wen Liyan was stunned, because he recognized that he wanted to buy something, that person thought the Rubik's Cube was expensive, so he didn't want to sell it?

He thought that he was not so well-known, and the vendors here were often changed, so he might not know that he was an appraiser in Guangyuan, so he thought he could pick up a leak or something, but it turned out like this?No way.If this is the case, can't he miss it? If the things he likes are priced up like this, or they won't be sold at all, that's not possible!

Wen Liyan said helplessly: "You...how can you do this? I just picked up a few small objects, and it's not that everything I've seen is priceless. Why do this?" He thought for a while, his eyes fell on the On the few plastic pieces he picked out, in order to prevent others from discovering that he picked out some of them consciously, he also took a few other plastic pieces with the same bright color to fill the number.

"Don't tell me you don't even sell these plastic pieces anymore?"

"Hehe, that's not the case," the stall owner smiled slyly. Plastic sheets are only valuable if they are assembled into complete objects. It's not that he hasn't checked these plastic sheets. Anyway, there is nothing very valuable inside. Wen Liyan was just looking for a few things for fun.Just now when he saw that Wen Liyan wanted to buy the Rubik's Cube, he said it would be unreasonable to say that he would not sell it. Now if he does not sell the face plastic piece, it would be too much.

"Well, if you can tell me about the origin of this object, I will give you those plastic pieces." The stall owner pointed to the Rubik's Cube and said, very cheeky.

"This..." Wen Liyan was in a dilemma.

The stall owner next to him couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey, are you bullying Mr. Wen for being soft-tempered or something? You know that an appraiser like Mr. Wen would have to appraise an object, at least tens of thousands, you Just take a few pieces of plastic and want to send them away? You are too thick-skinned!"

The movement here attracted other people to come and watch. A group of people looked at Wen Liyan's embarrassed expression, listened to the people next to him talking about the whole story, and whispered for Wen Liyan.

"What? Stop selling him because he's an expert?"

"Really, how can there be such a reason, it's not moral for two money!"

"I still want to use a few plastic pieces to pay the appraisal fee, and it's the appraisal fee of that object? This is too dark!"

Wen Liyan was also embarrassed. He knew that his appraisal fee was not as high as the stall owner next to him said. The appraisal fee depends on the value of the appraised item. If the appraised object is good, the appraisal fee will be high. Ordinary objects can't charge a few appraisal fees.What's more, the few plastic pieces he wanted can be regarded as a mistake.

"Okay, okay, come on, let's do what you said, I'll give you an appraisal this time, and you just give me these plastic pieces as the appraisal fee, okay?" He finally said.
