The second antique was quickly placed on the table.
This is a set of five carved cosmetic boxes with outstanding design, exquisite workmanship, elegance and luxury!
Similar cosmetic boxes were very popular tens or hundreds of years ago, but now almost no one uses them. Only a few ladies in the upper class use them to be arty.
Of course, it’s more for showing off.
Because it had lost its use value, its unknown owner would sell it, and Ye Tian pocketed it for a small price of 120 US dollars!
Seeing this set of cosmetics boxes appear, the eyes of several antique dealers immediately lit up.
They all have channels to communicate with the circle of upper-class ladies. This kind of baby has no worries about sales, and it can also be sold for a high price!
“I hope the price of this set of treasures is lower, and Steven doesn’t know their true identity and value, so we can get a bargain!”
Several antique dealers are thinking so.
At this moment, Ye Tian had already begun to introduce this set of antique boxes. His first words completely shattered the illusions of several antique dealers.
“This is a set of Tiffany antique carved cosmetic boxes from 1897. There are five pieces in total. The design is elegant and generous, the patterns are beautiful and charming, well preserved, without any flaws, and the condition is perfect.
Its design is very clever. Each piece has a very secret interlayer. Not only can it hide secrets, but it is also engraved with the year of production, designer and other information of this set of boxes. It is unique and extremely rare! "
The hearts of several antique dealers began to sink rapidly!
This guy knows so well, what other secrets are there? Can the price be as low as possible? The situation is very pessimistic! I guess there is no advantage left to take advantage of!
As if the temptation was not strong enough, Ye Tian continued to add more ingredients.
"I can tell you that the designer of the box is 'Louis Comfort Tiffany'. I don't need to introduce his status in the field of American jewelry design, right? You should be very familiar with it.
In view of this, I have set a starting price of $8,000 for this set of antique cosmetics boxes. If the gentleman wants to get this set of fine antiques, he can do it now! "
"What? The starting price is so high? Are you kidding me?"
The scene was once again in an uproar. Several antique dealers who were meeting for the first time had their eyes wide open with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
This is just like an antique, there is no advantage to be taken advantage of, this guy is really sure and ruthless in his moves! Is there some expert advice from behind? Or does he have such a high level himself?
If it were at his own level, it would be terrible. If you want to take advantage, there is no way!
Seeing the performance of several antique dealers, Ye Tian just smiled and did not pause to explain. He continued to quote aloud, waiting for someone to respond.
Although he didn't say anything, Benny couldn't help it when he saw the surprised expressions of his old friends, and laughed and said:
"Hahaha, Anderson, don't even think about picking up any bargains from Steven, just bid honestly! That way you can still gain something, otherwise you will leave empty-handed!
Let me tell you this, Steven’s antique skills are no lower than any of us, or even much higher than all of us. Otherwise, how could he have found so many antiques?
So, I advise you to quickly abandon all unrealistic illusions and start bidding, otherwise all the good things will be bought by Gary. He knows Steven’s level."
While saying this, he also pointed at Gary who accepted the offer again, and he immediately received a blank look from Gary.
This is obviously to blame him for explaining too early, causing him to lose many good opportunities to buy high-quality antiques!
"What? How is it possible? Isn't it incredible?"
"How old is Steven! He is so powerful?"
"I was wondering why Gary, this old fox, has changed his style so much. It turns out it's because of this!"
Several antique dealers were shocked that there was a freak like Steven.
It’s unbelievable that he is so strong at such a young age!
Soon, their shock was interrupted by Ye Tian.
"OK! Gary's offer was $8,000, and now it's $8,500. Is anyone interested?"
"Me! $8,500!"
Anderson woke up and couldn't wait to shout, fearing that he would be late and all the good things would fall into Gary's hands.
"Steven, $9,000"
Before Ye Tian could say anything, someone immediately took the initiative to raise the price.
It’s time to compete in wallet thickness! The auction speed will definitely accelerate!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian seemed to see the US dollars coming in, and he immediately smiled even happier!
……
The auction lasted for more than two hours before it ended. All the antiques were sold, and there was no first-rate auction!
Except for the last five antiques, which deliberately lowered their starting prices and offered substantial profit margins to win over these antique dealers, the auction prices of the other antiques were all higher than Ye Tian's psychological price.
The moment the last antique fell, Ye Tian calculated how much he could earn.
The total hammer price of all the lots was US$620,000, nearly US$100,000 higher than his estimate.
Excluding the commissions for Benny and Jason, I can pocket more than 500,000 US dollars, which is the most generous income so far.
Of course, this excludes Ferrari models and baseball collectibles that have not yet been auctioned.
It will take a month or two before the auction is completed and the payment is settled! How can there be such a strong thrill as putting dollars in your pocket right now!
Thinking of this huge amount of green dollar bills, Ye Tian was suddenly excited. Brother, you can also buy two Rolls-Royces, one towing the other!
Like Ye Tian, Benny and Jason were also extremely excited.
Benny is better and can basically control his emotions, but Jason is completely crazy. This kid has probably never had more than 30,000 US dollars. How can we not make him crazy?
After a short period of excitement and celebration, everyone quickly adjusted their emotions and started the final steps.
According to the auction record recorded by Jason, settlement and delivery will be carried out.
As the checks came into Ye Tian's hands one after another, the many antiques placed on the ground quickly changed owners.
After receiving the last check, Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief.
This batch of antiques has been processed, what a perfect harvest!
The delivery was completed, and several antique dealers quickly left with the antiques.
They still have a lot of work to do when they go back, such as restoring the original appearance of the antiques, setting sales prices, etc. I believe everyone can make a lot of money from it.
When everyone left, they whispered a few words to Ye Tian. The content was nothing more than that if you have good goods on hand in the future, don’t forget to inform them.
They both love and hate Ye Tian now!
What I love is that Ye Tian can bring high-quality antiques, allowing me to make a lot of money; what I hate is that Ye Tian’s steady and accurate quotations can quickly empty my pocket!
After the antique dealers left, Ye Tian immediately wrote two checks, one for US$30,000 and one for US$60,000, and handed them to Jason and Benny respectively.
Two strings of almost crazy cheers immediately sounded in the reception room, which was almost deafening. There was no doubt that this came from Benny and Jason.
After the celebration, the three of them packed up and went out together to the bank not far away.
After all, it is a bit unsafe to carry such a large check, and it will be troublesome if it is defaced, especially Ye Tian, who has not one, but several.
Not long after entering the bank, the numbers on the check turned into US dollars in their respective accounts. This antique transaction came to a successful conclusion!
He returned to the second-hand store again, rested and chatted for a while, Ye Tian looked at the time, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Steven, I haven't officially thanked you yet! Don't be in a hurry to go back today. I'll treat you to a big dinner. The place is up to you, any restaurant in the city will do!"
Benny began to speak out to persuade him to stay, very enthusiastically.
"Benny, thank you for your kindness. I'm very sorry that I can't do it today. I have made an appointment with my girlfriend to have dinner and enjoy our world together! Now it's time for me to pick her up.
Next time, let’s have dinner together if we have the chance. I believe there will be many opportunities in the future. I hope you can bring more antique dealers and we can all make a fortune together! ”
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"In that case, forget it, you should enjoy romantic love!"
Benny could only shrug sadly.
Jason next to him was extremely surprised and asked in disbelief:
"Steven, you actually have a girlfriend? Did it happen last night? Your girlfriend is Betty, right?"
Faced with Jason's series of curious questions, Ye Tian smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my girlfriend is Betty. My buddy got it last night. I will have dinner with her later and enjoy the wonderful world of two people!"
After saying that, he said goodbye and left. He walked briskly out of the second-hand store and walked towards the Chevrolet on the roadside.
Looking at his leaving figure, Jason suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh.
"This is the luckiest man I have ever seen. He has a great harvest of money and love! How happy he is!"
“Who says it’s not the case! It’s so enviable!”
Benny was also filled with emotion!
