In June last year, a judicial auction at the Chuzhou Intermediate People's Court in Anhui Province detonated an entire group of players. Because in this auction, many game-related equipment and items appeared on the auction list.
These things originally belonged to Zhang Yujie, a post-95 staff member of the Real Estate Registration Center in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, and their source was obtained by Zhang Yujie, who took advantage of his position to collect 69 million yuan in more than 3 years from 2016 to 2019 by means of not recording the receipts and forging the facts of the collections.
Items participating in the judicial auction include: limited edition PS consoles, gold-plated diamond-plated gamepads, out-of-print Switch, and more. Among them, the most concerned by netizens is the game Wang Qingyan White Dragon Gold Card with a starting price of only 80 yuan. With the mentality of joining in the fun, tens of thousands of people participated in the bidding.
In the end, the price of this lot was shouted to 87 million yuan, and the official had to stop it on the grounds that "the lot is seriously inconsistent with the actual auction price, and there may be malicious speculation and bidding behavior".
Regarding the actual value of the card, collectors in the circle gave an estimate of 250,000-300,000 yuan at the time, because the number of cards in this series released worldwide was only 500. It was only impossible to identify the authenticity of this blue-eyed white dragon gold card, coupled with the crowding of netizens, and finally it was not resolved.
However, recently on the judicial auction website, another blue-eyed white dragon gold card appeared, which originated from the Renze District People's Court of Xingtai City, Hebei Province, and was not directly related to the card mentioned earlier. Not only that, this new blue-eyed white dragon gold card, the starting price reached 80,000 yuan, and it relies on the advantage of "original box original, complete certificate accessories".
Also auctioned were the Game King Sterling Silver Blue-Eyed White Dragon Card, the Game King Platinum Blue-Eyed White Dragon Card, the Global Limited Edition 16 Dueling Masters Duelmaster Regional Champion Gold Card, a variety of Pokémon cards, Real Madrid limited-edition jerseys, Kobe Bryant signatures and other items. What this type of lot has in common is that the starting price is 800 yuan.
It is reported that some of the lots in this judicial auction came from a private loan dispute case. A 36-year-old Xingtai man, Zhao Mou, was ordered by the court to pay the plaintiff the principal of the loan of 30,000 yuan and interest due to a dispute over borrowing from others. Later, because all of them had not been returned after the deadline, the Ren Ze court made a ruling to auction a number of game cards and jerseys provided by Zhao.
I still remember this spring evening's sketch "Not Yet Paid", which told a story about the relationship between the creditor and the old Lai. However, reality is telling everyone that touching the other party by true feelings is far less reliable than the court's ruling.
Compared with the auction of the blue-eyed white dragon gold card held by Zhang Yujie, this time Zhao has a blue-eyed white dragon gold card with a certificate indicating its value, which is 1,000 times higher than the starting price of the former. As of press time, only 9 people had signed up to participate.
After the previous events, netizens have also realized the seriousness of interfering with the progress of judicial auctions. Wantonly raising prices is ultimately a liability. The auction will officially open at 9 o'clock on March 12, and if you are interested, you can watch online.
