LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 68: Private auction
Ye Tian opened the two suitcases, took out the antiques one by one, and placed them on the ground.
then quickly removed the wrapped newspaper, so that these expensive treasures were clearly presented in front of several antique dealers.
Although these people have seen the photos and are prepared, they still can't help but sigh when these antiques really appear in front of them.
"God! I found so many antiques at once! It's incredible!"
"The rumors are right, you really swept the Peter Cooper community auction by storm!"
Ye Tian showed a bright smile on his face, and his heart was very refreshing.
After the shock, immediately entered the antique appraisal link.
These are all experts, they have very good discriminating ability, and there is no need to explain anything by themselves.
Ye Tian reminded and indicated a few antiques with special markings, and then stepped aside, waited for them to appraise them, and then started trading.
Ye Tian knows how valuable each antique is, and he doesn't worry about getting caught or being fooled!
Next, he was enjoying the afternoon tea in a relaxed manner, while these old men shuttled between the antiques on the floor, and everyone was very excited.
There are a lot of antiques, so it takes a lot of time. Almost an hour later, the appraisal is completely over.
Time to trade!
As for how to trade with several antique dealers at the same time, without fancying the same antique, Ye Tian had a plan!
That is the fairest and least controversial auction, the highest bidder wins! No one can say anything!
As for whether the other party would jointly pit himself, Ye Tian didn't have these worries either.
The auction is hosted by yourself, and the starting price of each antique is set by yourself. How can it be a loss?
If it fails, the personal vault will continue to exist, and the antique will not grow hairy!
Seeing that the old men had completed the appraisal, when they sat down, Ye Tiancai put down the tea cup and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, everyone has finished the appraisal, so let's trade now. Given that there are many people and more things today, it is not realistic to talk about them one by one, and there is not so much time.
Let's auction it, the higher bidder gets! Taking into account the profit sharing, I call for five rounds at most for each antique. If no one asks for the price, it will be unsold. Do you understand? "
"This method is good, fair, and can avoid disputes"
These are all veterans of antique dealers. After thinking about it, you can understand that this is the best way to trade right now, so there is no objection.
Immediately afterwards, they started gearing up, preparing to take down the most favorite antiques, and even to compare with their old friends.
After hearing these words, a look of admiration flashed in Benny's eyes.
What a cunning fox! Almost mature!
"Gentlemen, don't worry, there is still a lack of a record quotation"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and then called Jason in and asked him to record.
Jason was very excited to be able to participate in this private auction closely related to his wallet and immediately put into work with enthusiasm.
The auction begins!
The pair of silver-plated brass candlesticks first appeared on the stage. Ye Tian picked up and showed it for a while, then began to introduce it and quote the starting price.
"Gentlemen, this is a pair of silver-plated brass candlesticks at the end of the nineteenth century. The shape is simple and smooth, with a simple beauty, exquisite workmanship, and sufficient materials. It is a rare boutique antique.
The personal logo inside the copper tube, the swash letter ‘M’, was verified by George McConaughey, a famous craftsman in New York at the time. It was rare and valuable.
Combining the above factors, my price is 10,000 US dollars. If that gentleman fancy the pair of candlesticks, then he can sell it. For 10,000 US dollars, which gentleman should bid? "
"Wow!"
Hearing the introduction and quotation, there was a whisper in the room.
The research is too thorough, the understanding and quotation of antiques are not much different from my own, so I can't take advantage of it!
Several antique dealers who first met Ye Tian were a bit hesitant at this time.
Although they prefer the pair of candlesticks, the cost seems to be a bit too high for $10,000!
These people are still holding a bit of an advantage mentality at this time, especially seeing Ye Tian's young face makes them firmer in this idea.
But the reality is unexpected. They didn't expect Ye Tian to be so precise and quoted a very uncomfortable starting price!
Can you pick it up? Several people are hesitating!
Benny and Jason both had a glimmer of admiration in their eyes, and Benny's valuation was almost at this level, so they admired Ye Tian's eyes.
Jason admired Ye Tian's control of the situation, so fanatical! This may be the charm of money! Can make people become confident!
Seeing the changes in the expressions of several antique dealers, Ye Tian immediately chuckled.
I want to get cheap from my buddies, but there are no doors! Not to mention the door, there are no windows!
"US$10,000, great value for money, this is a fine craftsmanship from New York!"
Ye Tian bewitched, as long as someone asks for a price, I believe the scene will immediately become active.
Some people hesitate, some are firm, and Gary took the lead.
After the last transaction, Gary understood that Ye Tian’s antique knowledge is no lower than anyone present, or even higher, and very cunning! In Ye Tian, there is no advantage at all!
So he had given up the idea of picking up a bargain early in the morning, and prepared to put together a few favorite antiques for real money. This pair of candlesticks was one of his favorite treasures.
Before Ye Tian's voice fell, Gary answered loudly:
"10,000 dollars, I took it!"
"what!"
There were a few surprised exclamations again.
Several antique dealers all looked at Gary, their eyes full of perplexity and doubt.
How did this old fox make a move?
shouldn't it? This is a bad guy who didn't take advantage of it! Why are you willing to spend $10,000 on this pair of candlesticks? Too strange!
Ye Tianke no matter what they think, when he hears Gary's offer, he immediately raised his hand and said loudly:
"OK! Gary bid 10,000 US dollars, now 11,000 US dollars, who will take it?"
Several bidders looked at each other and no one responded.
Ye Tian didn't wait, 10,000 he could accept, and immediately began the countdown.
"$11,000 for the first time, the second time,..."
Just as he was about to shout for the third time, someone uttered ~www.wuxiaspot.com~It was Irvine.
Obviously he also took a fancy to the pair of candlesticks and couldn't bear to miss it, so he reluctantly shot it.
"Yay!"
Ye Tian smiled, and the competition begins!
"For $11,000, Irvine took it. Now the third bidding price is $12,000. Can anyone take it? Gary?"
The others are still waiting, looking forward to picking up cheap on the next antique, they have already given up on this pair of candlesticks
The bidding became a dispute between Gary and Irwin!
Gary raised his hand calmly and responded to Ye Tian's offer.
Although it seems to be light and windy, there is still a slight pain in his eyes.
Immediately after Irwin followed, he pushed the price of the pair of candlesticks to $13,000.
The feeling of making money is so cool, Ye Tian is already happy.
Also happy, there are Benny and Jason, they also saw the billowing dollars, and they want the competition to continue forever!
But that is just a beautiful vision, impossible to achieve.
When Gary reluctantly took over the $14,000, Ye Tian immediately dropped the hammer and ended the auction of the pair of candlesticks.
The reason why dropped the hammer so quickly was because he followed his promise of only bidding for five rounds, even if Irvine wanted to follow up again!
This not only makes money for themselves, but also leaves profit margins for antique dealers to facilitate future cooperation.
Gary has a smile on his face. Although a bit bitter, he is still very happy. He has obtained a pair of good antique candlesticks, which is also profitable!
Irvin was a little bit lost, and missed the fancy antique, naturally, it was inevitable that he was depressed.
Jason, who was in charge of recording, and Benny who was watching, all smiled.
Ye Tian made a fortune, why not they!
