Now in China, due to the influence of the national collection craze, more and more collections are found, so more and more collectors want to sell them. However, affected by the economic situation, there are more sellers and fewer buyers.
Second, the market chaos:
Many people have taken a fancy to the future development of the antique market, and Tibetan friends have a strong desire to get rich overnight, so there are too many companies that fish in troubled waters and exploit legal loopholes. They buy for free, buyers wait here, report inflated prices and buy at home. . . . And other means to fool collectors into the company, in order to see that it is a legitimate reason, the need for appraisal reports, the need for filing and other reasons, so that customers can pay, pay, find various reasons, can not clinch a deal, and finally collectors can only eat dumb losses. Here we need to collect friends of lovers, don't be greedy and cheap, and don't think about falling pies from the sky.
Next, Bian Xiao exposed some trading scams:
1. Buy companies: These companies will tell you that they will buy directly without any auction or private transaction, as long as your collection meets the company's acquisition standards. When you arrive at the company, he will ask you to do some certificates, put on record, collect the origin, test and so on. Similarly, your collection will eventually fail.
2. Antique auction companies: These companies will say that your collection is very rare and is eligible for auction abroad. The auction price is high and it can be sold at an unexpectedly high price. You are too excited to cooperate with the company at once. After the cooperation, you are required to pay various fees, such as customs clearance fees, storage fees, venue fees and auction fees after the auction, and then you are required to pay these fees in two months. Your collection will not be sold until the contract expires.
3. Trading company: Many collectors will receive calls from some companies, claiming that your collection is scarce and of high value, and buyers are already waiting for you in the company. Let you take the collection to the company, and the buyer will see the real thing. Buyers take a fancy to the transaction directly in the form of cash on delivery. Haha, should I take the collection to the company for trading at this time? Hehe, you think too much! When you arrive at the company, the buyer will let you do relevant tests to prove that your collection is really no problem. You think your collection is real. After all, it's ancestral. How can it be fake? Do it, pay tens of thousands of dollars, and your collection is found to be unqualified! Only then did I realize that I was cheated, but unfortunately I couldn't get my money back!
When it comes to antique trading market and auction market, I believe many collectors will lament how a word "chaos" and a word "fraud" can be won. Yes, antique trading does involve many aspects. Because there is such a trading market, there will be informal phenomena, not only antique trading, but also formal and informal industries.
In fact, when it comes to the trap of collecting transactions, collectors should also find their own reasons. Many collectors hold the dream of getting rich overnight, thinking that the collection is a first-hand commodity, and they will give you a deal and give you cash on the same day. Think about it. Is it possible? If there is such a company, is it necessary for large auction companies such as Beijing Guardian, Poly, Christie's in Hong Kong and Sotheby's to exist? Antique trading must go through formal channels, and only through publicity, planning and media hype can we find a suitable buyer. The law stipulates that regular units cannot buy or resell antiques. Secondly, in the name of buying antiques in cash, identify them first, and buy genuine ones in cash. It's definitely a fool's appraisal fee After paying the fee, I will tell you that the thing is fake and the cost is blind. In particular, companies that boast that they can make deals are nine times out of ten companies that cheat fees.
The correct way to sell the collection is to find a regular company. What is formal? It is the cooperation between the collection and the company, and it is the last word that the collection will not be sold and will not bring losses to the collectors.
suggestion
When you put Tibet on the market, please consider yourself a businessman, not a collector! Now, I can meet many collectors who ask which one is low, and more collectors are persistent in finding companies that don't charge. If you sell such things, aren't you the luckiest person in the world?
Remember, collecting may be just a pleasure, but selling is a business. Since there is a dream of wealth, why should we take the route of "poor peasants and middle peasants"? It is obviously unreasonable to invest for fun rather than for business!
