If it was 20 years ago, someone said that there was a leak in the antique market, then everyone would even say hello!
But now, if someone says that the leak has been picked up, then the voice of doubt will be even louder.
After all, antiques are non-renewable, selling one less piece,
Coupled with the current proliferation of counterfeiting and the integrity crisis of antique dealers,
Go to the antique market, don't say pick up leaks, it is difficult to buy a genuine item at an affordable price.
So why are so many fakes, and there are still so many people going?
There are roughly the following reasons:
1. Learn from experience
Such Tibetans may often "take medicine" because of their lack of experience, but please do not laugh at them.
Because that's a truly healthy attitude to collecting.
Without their own experience, they have no chance to contact the real collecting circle, let alone to hide and store.
Many newbies come to the antique market to learn the experience, although there are a lot of fakes here.
But you can compare the craftsmanship, pulping, knife marks or Shen Yun according to the real thing!
Over time, a sense of judging authenticity is naturally formed, which is a precious treasure that cannot be learned by books alone!
2, join in the fun
This kind of person may not be said to be a Tibetan friend, but only a tourist.
Their mentality is very relaxed, completely out of curiosity, look at this, touch that.
This obsession with truth or falsehood is not in the heart, and it is good to like it.
Casually spend a little money to buy a copy and put it at home is also very good-looking.
There is no pressure without going deep, and antique vendors also like this kind of person, who will only bargain and will not tangle with the true and false! ------------------------
3, can not put down
For some elderly people, the old objects of the antique market are neither an interest nor an appreciation.
It is a young memory that cannot be abandoned, and the times are developing rapidly.
And young people's hobbies and interests are also very different,
Perhaps coming to this kind of market full of old goods and reminiscing about the good times of youth is the best choice.
Even if some things are imitations, it is enough that they look like gods!
4, want to pick up leaks
Of course, human beings have gambling in their bones!
Naturally, there will be a lot of people here who want to pick up leaks.
I want to pick up a big leak for a few hundred dollars! Whether it is inexperienced or a good hand, it is inevitable that there is such a mentality.
Then the main fight is still the skill.
Novices like to listen to stories, veterans will take the initiative to ask for prices,
In fact, from the very beginning, the stall owners can see the level of the people in front of them.
But it will also take the initiative to cooperate in trying to sell a good price.
Life is like a drama, all rely on acting skills!
Too calculating gains and losses, but will live very tired.
It is better to experience more fun in collecting and learn to discover details that you didn't care about before.
In this most down-to-earth way, unconsciously become a collector!
