What are the main tricks in the antique collection market?

There are many tricks in antique collection. What are the main ones? We need to learn some ways to avoid being cheated, so let's take a look at what I recommend carefully for everyone, hoping to help you.

Main tricks of Wan Wen's collection market

1, Wan Wen is keen on telling stories.

Since ancient times, fabricating bizarre stories for Wan Wen has been the basic skill of literary swindlers. They attract buyers with the help of ancestral stories, tomb robberies, treasures given or photographed by celebrities, and can vividly tell the "treasures" of past lives. If you are hooked at this time, it means that you have relaxed your vigilance and are easily deceived.

2. It's all caused by "light"

It is best to play with antique collections in natural light, and dim or dazzling light will affect Tibetan friends' judgment on the authenticity of the collections. If you walk into an antique shop and find the lights dim, don't think the boss is a "miser" who saves electricity. It is probably a trap, which makes you make a wrong judgment on the luster and patina of the collection, and then you are deceived.

3. "Made in the Republic of China" has become synonymous with "shanzhai"

You may not be able to buy antiques for thousands of years, but there were many works of art handed down from generation to generation during the Republic of China, which provided conditions for the saying of "Made in the Republic of China" or "Made in China". When you look at a "baby" and the seller tells you that it was made in the Republic of China, be careful.

4. "Country people" are very deceptive.

When you are at a stall in Wan Wen market, you will often see some farmers wearing plain clothes and with a strong rural accent selling one or two "treasures". These "treasures" may be handed down from the family, or they may be collected or picked up from the countryside. In short, with a bizarre story, when you smugly think that you are finally going to "retrieve the missing child", you are probably cheated.

5. Online fraud is "hard to prevent"

Many Tibetan friends also like to buy literature and art online, which also needs to be guarded against. When some merchants send WeChat or Taobao pictures in the names of "famous artists", "reputation", "seconds kill", "buyers return pictures", "workshop agents" and "goods push each other", Tibetan friends must pay attention to the fact that you may be blacklisted by illegal merchants immediately after remittance transfer.

Anti-counterfeiting Method of Wan Wen Collection

1, read thousands of books.

To collect Wan Wen, we must read some orthodox books, learn all kinds of collection knowledge, sum up Wan Wen's collection skills, ask the "masters" around us, and learn the "basic skills" in a down-to-earth manner to prepare for the future.

2. Don't "talk on paper"

As the saying goes, read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. No matter how many treasure books, WeChat and TV programs you have seen, they can't replace "getting started". In the antique market, seeing more, listening more and touching more is good for Tibetan friends to exercise their eyesight. But if you are a "novice", you must control your hand and don't take it out easily.

3, adhere to the principle of "four noes"

Novices should adhere to the principle of "four noes" when visiting antique markets. Don't make random inquiries and counter-offers, don't reach out easily, don't buy expensive things, and don't buy things you don't understand. If you master these four points, it will not be easy to "take medicine" and you will be respected by the literary and art circles.

4. Online shopping should be "stable"

Many Tibetan friends like to "Taobao" online, so be careful. First of all, no matter how much you like "baby", to be on the safe side, you must pay through a third party, not directly to the other party; Secondly, if it's not far from the business, it's best to trade face to face, pay in one hand and deliver in the other, and it's best to find an "expert" to check; At the same time, we should look for reputable and well-known merchants to buy Wan Wen, and look for individuals or forums to guarantee it.

Introduction to antique collection

1, knowledgeable

Beginner collectors should listen to experts' opinions and study relevant materials, and have a thorough and detailed understanding, appreciation and identification of the age, material, craft, genre and authenticity of antiques.

2. Free of charge

Collecting antiques depends on accumulating over time, eventually forming a personal collection style, so collectors must have enough time and learn to arrange their time reasonably.

Step 3 have courage

As the saying goes, "antiques are priceless", and most of the antiques that preserve and increase their value are treasures, and their prices are on the high side. This requires Tibetans to have a sense of advance and have enough courage. When you meet treasure, you must have courage.

4. Destiny takes a hand

An antique treasure that people can't put down is often hard to find. Therefore, collectors must be good at grasping the opportunity, make more friends with stall owners in the antique market, and keep abreast of market conditions.

Step 5 be rich

Most working-class collectors have limited funds, so they might as well set aside a fixed sum of money every month, accumulate over time, constantly improve the grade and success rate of collection, adopt the method of adopting and collecting, eliminate the best at any time, and turn no money into "money".
