Chapter 561 559. Old Hunter Mr. Li (4)

I don't know if it was to mobilize the emotions of the treasure hunters or what, the first warehouse opened by Chalmers was the warehouse where the complete set of antique style furniture was located.

Li Du gave a few winks to his friends, and everyone lined up to observe. There were not many people, and there were only a dozen or so people who came to participate in the auction, so the visit ended quickly.

In the past few days, Chalmers watched a lot of videos and documentaries about storage auctions and official auctions, and even called his cousin Rick to learn some industry-related knowledge.

In this way, imitating the auctioneers, he raised his hand and said quickly: "Come on, everyone, everyone! You can see the value of this warehouse, so how about I offer a reserve price of 2,500 yuan? "

After hearing the quotation, a treasure hunter said in amazement: "This idiot, is he crazy? The price of this kind of private warehouse is 2,500 yuan? Isn't he talking about US dollars?"

"Even Zimbabwean currency, I think it's too high." A treasure hunter next to him said with a curled lip.

Chalmers quoted this price out of safety considerations.

Dickens had already told him that this set of furniture was worth more than twenty-five hundred yuan, and he didn't want to quote too low a price and be picked up cheaply.

When learning about the warehouse auction industry in the past few days, Rick told him some unspoken rules that need to be paid attention to.

For example, sometimes the treasure hunters will unite together and not bid, so the warehouse will often be sold at a low price.

He was worried that such a thing would happen to him, so he directly quoted a price that was at least profitable.

When the price came out, Dickens raised his hand to follow the price: "I'll offer 2,500 yuan."

After seeing him, Chalmers was overjoyed, pointed at him and shouted: "Okay, this guy is offering 2,500 yuan. What a discerning guy. This warehouse is more than 2,500 yuan, and here is 2,600 yuan piece!"

From this, it can be seen that he is a rookie, and experienced auctioneers would not say such things.

A skilled person will not promise how much the warehouse is worth, otherwise, after the auction is over, if someone finds that the warehouse is not worth what he said, it will definitely cause trouble for him and affect his reputation.

But Chalmers doesn't care, he is a one-shot deal, as long as he can sell at a high price this time and make money, does he care if anyone finds trouble with his words?

Listening to his offer, Turis raised his hand and signaled, "I'll offer 2,600 yuan."

Chalmers was even happier, and shouted: "The price has climbed to 2,600 yuan. This guy has a discerning eye and made the right choice, but the value of the warehouse is obviously more than that. So who is willing to accept 2,700 yuan?"

Lu Guan, who had shown his face before, came out, nodded and said, "I will offer 2,700 yuan."

The price climbed steadily, and finally reached 3,000 yuan. No one raised the price anymore. After shouting several times, Chalmers said with some regret: "Okay 3,000 yuan, this warehouse belongs to this guy."

It was Dickens who had to shoot, he locked the warehouse, whistled and walked to the next warehouse.

The second warehouse is the magazine warehouse. Chalmers took pictures of his warehouse first. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the interest and energy of the treasure hunters to bid for his own warehouse first.

Seeing the box full of magazines inside, Li Du took a deep breath, and as soon as he saw it, he was finally close to the target.

The magazines are housed in the box, and it is impossible to tell what is inside the box from the outside.

Chalmers once again showed his rookie side, pointing to the warehouse, he said: "There is no furniture in this warehouse but there are many good things. You see, it is full of dust and absolutely untouched, so there are people in it." Possibly hiding a baby."

The treasure hunters pursed their lips and said disdainfully, "What could be in there? A pile of garbage?"

Chalmers argued: "Hey man, you've missed your mark, there's a lot of good stuff in there, like some great books!"

"If I want to buy a book, I will go to the bookstore, and I won't come to you." A treasure hunter said.

An interesting thing happened. As the auctioneer, Chalmers did not keep pace with the auction, but wanted to have a theory with the treasure picker.

Hans couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Hurry up and bid, we still have something to do, hurry up and start quickly!"

Chalmers said resentfully: "Well, the starting price of this warehouse is 1,000 yuan, who is willing to bid 1,000 yuan? There are many books in it, and even if they find a suitable person to sell these books, they will cost more than 1,000 yuan. !"

The full set of "National Geographic" magazines can be sold at a good price even if they sell waste paper, but there is no place to collect waste paper in the United States. To dispose of waste paper, it has to be sent to a garbage processing plant.

Hearing the quotation, Luguan stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll offer a thousand yuan."

The treasure hunters shook their heads one after another. This warehouse is worthless, and the books in it may be of some value, but it is too difficult to find buyers for old books, so it is not worth the risk.

Seeing that everyone was not interested in bidding, Chalmers became anxious. He shouted the price several times, all kinds of encouragement and praise, but the treasure hunters were not moved.

Which of the treasure hunters here is not experienced in many battles, how could he make a wrong choice after being instigated casually?

Yes, for them, buying a warehouse with just a bunch of books is the wrong choice.

No bids were made for a long time, and Chalmers waved helplessly: "Very good man, you picked up a big leak, and the things in this good warehouse belong to you."

Luguan counted out ten Franklin bills on the spot, and he handed them over to Chalmers' wife, who acted as a temporary cashier and accountant, to obtain ownership of the warehouse.

At this point, Li Du was relieved that his goal had been achieved. After all, the little fox Chalmers had never fought against the old hunter like him.

The treasure hunters went to the next warehouse, Luguan didn't go, and started packing things with Godzilla and Da Ao.

Li Du has inquired, and this Chalmers is not a fastidious person, he is a little rascal, and this house was actually obtained from his uncle by all means.

So if he knows that there are millions of magazines in it, he will definitely regret the previous auction.

The warehouses in the back are interesting, they are worthless at all, and the treasure hunters have not bid. After reading the first four warehouses, some people are already leaving.

Chalmers was very angry when the auction of the two warehouses failed, but after thinking about the income of four thousand yuan, he became happy again.

He always thought that these warehouses were worthless, but in the end he was able to exchange them for 4,000 yuan, and he also provided free labor to help clean up the warehouses. No matter how you look at it, he earned it.

Moreover, he still left behind!

His four warehouse auctions are over, and it's the turn of his neighbor's warehouse to go up for auction.

How can there be valuables in these warehouses? They are all household items that have been eliminated. Treasure hunters are not just picking up rags, so it is impossible for them to be interested in these things.

Except for the first two warehouses, all the latter ones were unsold, and the treasure hunters were not even interested in bidding.

Seeing this, Chalmers felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell him exactly what was wrong.
