I want to buy antiques, but I don't know where to buy them.

1 minute ago

Times are changing. Compared with the past, there are many more ways to trade antiques now. In the past, ordinary people in the city went to old antique shops to buy them. Antique shops could buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price from first-line grave robbers, and exchange money from ordinary people's homes to earn the difference. But in the past, the price of antique shops was generally not too high, and the quality was more secure. After decades of rapid economic development, a large amount of capital has entered the antique art market in China. The price of antiques has doubled in the past ten years. It is not easy for ordinary people to buy their favorite antiques in antique shops, and they need extraordinary eyesight or funds. With the rise of the Internet, this seemingly ancient industry has also begun to develop in internet plus, which will be confusing to laymen. How can you make people feel at ease when you still think about online trading for such an expensive thing? Actually, it is not. It is an honest and relatively closed industry. Once selling fakes in the industry, it will basically be banned by the whole industry and can no longer survive in the industry. After all this nagging, let's talk about some ways to buy antiques:

First, the antique market stalls

The price of buying in the stall is not very high, and there are many myths, usually hundreds of thousands, but it is a test of eyesight. If less is found, it will be tens of millions, but the probability is very small. However, because the price is not too high, even if you buy an imitation, it is also a good handicraft decoration, and you will not lose a lot.

Second, antique shops.

Antique shops that sell second-hand goods have storefronts and long-term operations. They should have a good reputation and the cost of selling fake goods is high. Generally do not sell imitations, not afraid of 10 thousand, just in case. It is best to go to an antique shop to buy a knowledgeable belt or an acquaintance as an intermediary, because the price of antiques is very high now, and it is difficult for antique shops to find a first-line unearthed source. Most of them have been sold several times, and they have been rummaged by antique shops, so they bought them from antique shops. However, if it is really a good thing, there is still a lot of room for value-added in the long run, provided it is the real thing.

Third, the auction house

Let's talk about this briefly. Auction houses are of little significance to shopkeepers because they are monopolized by big capital. You can see which auction houses in the world have made record prices, but it is those waves of people who come and go. We ordinary people either take the same thing at a low price or take it at a low price, wasting management fees, but some small auction companies can't bear to look directly at it. As long as they are true or false, they cheat management fees, so we are actually an advertising effect to find a topic now. Every time I say that there are only a few pieces of porcelain in the world, who owns it is actually for my own benefit. Think about it, except for Ru kilns, many famous kilns have been burned for hundreds of thousands of years. How can it be so few? In the hands of folk collectors, although the number of unearthed and unearthed every year is limited, as long as we find the right channels, we can buy good ones.

Fourth, the first line was unearthed.

This is definitely what everyone who wants to collect wants to find. Buying from front-line gravediggers is definitely the best and cheapest, but there are often several layers of relationships between ordinary buyers and gravediggers. A thing is likely to turn over a hundred times from a grave robber to an ordinary buyer. Yes, hundreds of times. Although front-line grave diggers are the most important resources in the industry, this industry has been a very niche industry for so many years. If you sell millions of antiques in the ordinary market, hundreds of pieces are not wanted. Over the years, a long industrial chain has been formed, and the downstream buyers and first-line sellers are basically out of touch, so the current market just can't buy good things, and the ones you want to sell can't sell at a good price. Generally speaking, many grave diggers are farmers, with limited knowledge and limited price. If a Tibetan can master the upstream and downstream resources, he will make a fortune.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Internet.

There are many Internet trading platforms, such as Xianyu.com, Zhuanzhuan.com, Huaxia Collection.com and Chinese Antique.com, so I won't introduce the differences among them one by one. These online platforms are operated by antique shops and sold by first-line grave robbers. They are mixed and the prices vary greatly, but fortunately most of them can be returned. With more contact, everyone will understand.

Speaking of the Internet, WeChat is also a common channel now. Many grave diggers have begun to learn to publish their unearthed things on WeChat, hoping to get rid of the oppression of middlemen, which can be regarded as the industrial integration brought by the Internet. Make everything you want to sell and buy come true. If you want to know more, you can leave me a message to communicate.
