In this era of rapid change, the popularity of the collecting world is also rising. Friend applications on WeChat are like snowflakes, and many Tibetan friends enthusiastically add me as a friend every day, and then ask bluntly: "I have a so-and-so collection, do you buy it?" "Every time I see news like this, I feel a little crying and laughing.
Dear Tibetan friends, are you too anxious? I haven't even seen the shadow of the collection, so why talk about acquisitions? What's more, as soon as you open your mouth, it is a sky-high price of millions, as if you are selling vegetables in a vegetable market.
Here, I would like to tell you a heartfelt remark: I have come into contact with all kinds of Tibetan friends, but I have never heard of a case of private transactions or door-to-door acquisitions that were truly successful. So, be careful of the so-called "takeover" traps!
Nowadays, there are a variety of antique and antique art companies on the market, and the market is also mixed. The so-called "water is deep" refers to this situation. Many collectors feel lost and helpless when faced with how to properly sell their collections, and they are worried that they will be deceived if they are not careful.
So, how to choose a regular, non-indiscriminate company to sell the collection? Don't worry, let me share with you the whole process of trading antiques from Tibetan friends.
Mr. Wu is a wealthy Tibetan friend who has inherited some antiques and artworks in his family.
He has a soft spot for these historical treasures, and whenever he has time, he spends hours wandering around the antique market to study and learn about the ins and outs of the various collections. He also looks up relevant information on the Internet, pays attention to auction transaction records, and has higher expectations for the value of the collection.
One day, when Mr. Wu searched for companies that could be traded on the Internet, he left his *** and soon he received ** from a company in Shanghai. The other party told him that the ancient coins in his hands were very rare, with a market value of about 1.1 million.
If it's genuine, their company is willing to buy it. Hearing the news, Mr. Wu was overjoyed, as if he saw the dawn of making a fortune.
So, he didn't hesitate to board a flight to Shanghai and take the baby to the appointment. After arriving in Shanghai, Mr. Wu came to the acquisition company as promised. Seeing the real existence of the company and the various collections on display, his worries were dispelled at once.
The reception staff warmly invited several experts to appraise and evaluate Mr. Wu's collection. After the experts carefully **, they told Mr. Wu emotionally: "Your Daqing copper coin is in very good condition, 100% to the generation, **at least more than one million!" ”
Hearing the experts' evaluations, Mr. Wu was even more convinced that his treasure was genuine. However, he didn't know that a real expert teacher would only appraise the results and never estimate them.
At this time, the company expressed its willingness to use 300,000 cash to acquire Mr. Wu's collection. But Mr. Wu felt that **was too low** and was not willing to accept this**.
Seeing this, the reception staff said that if you want to sell more than 1.1 million, it is no problem, but you need to go through the formal appraisal process and sign a contract.
The content of the contract is: if Mr. Wu's coin is made by the government, the original company will buy it for 1.1 million yuan, but the premise is that a company that must be approved by them will do an appraisal, and the appraisal fee will be 20,000 yuan.
Compared with the upcoming 1.1 million, the 20,000 appraisal fee is simply a drop in the bucket. Therefore, Mr. Wu paid the fee without much thought. Subsequently, accompanied by the reception staff, I went to the designated appraisal company for appraisal.
The next thing is to wait for the results and get the money and go home. In just a few hours, Mr. Wu was on pins and needles in this appraisal process, and he thought that a coin could be sold for 1.1 million, what a great thing! It's even more exciting than winning the lottery!
Finally, the results came out: they did not meet the requirements.
This means that Mr. Wu paid 20,000 yuan in appraisal fees in vain, and his treasure was not recognized as genuine. Faced with this result, Mr. Wu felt very disappointed, but he did not completely give up hope.
Two days later, Mr. Wu came to that company again and wanted to try his collection again. This time, he met more buyers, including "big buyers" from the United States, Dubai, India and other places.
This made Mr. Wu's heart ignite a flame of hope again, and he thought that his treasure might be taken by these foreigners. In the presence of the three parties, the two parties signed the purchase contract.
One of them is that you need to pay a transaction margin of 20,000 yuan. Although Mr. Wu was a little hesitant, he couldn't say anything when he saw that the foreigner unequivocally took out 20,000 yuan in cash and handed it to the reception staff. So he ruthlessly handed over the money and signed it, and waited for the delivery procedure to be completed.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Mr. Wu had imagined. During the delivery process, suddenly the foreigner and the reception staff quarreled in a foreign language.
It turned out that the foreigner wanted to bring this coin back to the United States, but the cultural relics needed to go through relevant procedures when they were out of customs.
Foreigners are worried that this coin will not be able to be brought back to China normally. The receptionist suggested to Mr. Wu that either Mr. Wu should declare the customs declaration procedures by himself and make a deal in the future, or give the foreigner 10,000 yuan to go through the relevant procedures.
Mr. Wu weighed the pros and cons, and felt that he had the ability to go to the customs to get out of customs. Besides, if it doesn't work out, maybe the ancestral collections of the family will be handed over, so he paid another 10,000 customs fees, hoping to complete the transaction as soon as possible, get the money, and go home to enjoy a better life.
Next, everything went smoothly, the calculator crackled, after deducting the commission and miscellaneous expenses, the foreigner said to the reception staff that the next few days when the customs declaration came down, the back transaction was completed, and now the deposit was transferred to the reception staff's account.
So the receptionist asked Mr. Wu to go home first, wait for a few days, and then notify him to come over, complete the final transaction, and take away his treasure and the huge amount of money to go home and enjoy the good life.
However, things did not go as well and smoothly as Mr. Wu imagined. When he got home, he waited and waited, but he never heard anything from the receptionist.
He took the initiative to contact the past, and the other party always said that it was not done yet, so he could only continue to wait. In this way, after half a month, the more Mr. Wu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and finally he couldn't sit still, and decided to fly to Shanghai again to see what happened?
When he came to the company again, he found that the building was empty! He hurriedly contacted the reception staff at the beginning, but unfortunately ** had been shut down and could not contact the other party!
Only then did Mr. Wu realize that he had been deceived! He hurriedly called the police, hoping that ** could help him recover his losses and punish these**! The police told him, "You weren't the first victim to report the crime, but you won't be the last!"
We will help you file a case for investigation, please rest assured! Hearing the police's words, Mr. Wu felt extremely desperate and angry! He was cheated of 50,000 yuan! That's a lot of money for him!
Finally, I would like to summarize this case in one sentence: if you want to reap, you need to pay, but don't think that millions of bills will fall into your house while sitting at home! Don't just take into account the small profits in front of you, and the cooperation is based on mutual trust and understanding between the two sides!
If you really don't want to take a detour, it is recommended to find a regular auction company to cooperate!
Only in this way can we better protect our rights and interests from infringement! At the same time, I also hope that the majority of Tibetan friends can take caution, increase their vigilance, and avoid being deceived!
