“Hey! It’s a household goods warehouse, not of much value!”
As soon as the warehouse door opened, several sighs came from the front.
Obviously, everyone is a little disappointed.
Unless there are antiques or luxury goods in the homeware warehouse, the value is very limited, and the auction price is not that high.
Ye Tian stood relatively back. When he saw the warehouse door open, he immediately stepped up and looked around. He could only see a corner of the warehouse from the side.
As far as the eye can see are groceries, piled on the ground, relatively messy, without any light or halo.
As far as I can see so far, this warehouse does not contain the antique art that I want most and is the most valuable.
A little disappointed, but Ye Tian still had expectations.
Who knows what the situation is like in other places I haven’t seen? Maybe there will be a surprise!
The warehouse opened, and the auctioneer stepped forward and began to inspect the situation inside.
After confirming that there are no guns, ammunition or other contraband on the surface, the tour begins immediately.
Perhaps because it is not the target and the value is indeed limited, the visit is very fast. Everyone basically takes a look and leaves, obviously giving up on this warehouse.
Soon, Ye Tian and Jason stood at the door, turned on the bright flashlight, and began to check the situation inside the warehouse.
It is indeed a home furnishings warehouse.
Judging from the contents inside, the owner is at least a middle-class family. All the items are of good brand and quality, and there are no cheap goods. It is consistent with the status of a warehouse for residents in a wealthy area.
There are several famous brand home appliances in the warehouse. They were all products from ten years ago. Although they are famous brands, they are not worth much at all now. The price is as high as 500 US dollars!
There is a tall wooden shelf standing against the wall, with six or seven storage boxes and some household items on it.
Two of the storage boxes were not tightly covered, exposing the clothes inside. From this, it can be inferred that the other storage boxes should be similar and have little value. The possibility of finding surprises is not high!
The household items on the shelf are also some famous brands, but after all, they are second-hand goods and not worth much. The normal valuation should be within 300 US dollars.
There were a lot of debris scattered on the ground, so I stopped for $200. There are also two household lawn mowers, about 70% new, which are the most valuable items here, with an estimated value of $800.
This is the only value of the warehouse. Except for the storage boxes, everyone can see everything else at a glance!
Seeing the situation inside, Ye Tian immediately understood why everyone was disappointed.
This warehouse has almost no secrets, and its value is not high. If you want to win it, you have to spend all the dollars you have. Even if you succeed, there will not be much profit, so it is really not worth it.
The only room for imagination is those few organizing boxes, but judging from the two boxes that are not tightly closed, the possibility of getting a surprise is not very high.
So many people have given up on this warehouse after seeing it, or made a lower offer and are ready to give it a try. If it doesn’t work, they will stop immediately.
Unlike others, in Ye Tian’s eyes, the value of this warehouse is more than that.
As soon as he stood at the door, several white lights flashed in his eyes, dazzling and eye-catching! Touching!
Obviously, there are antiques from a century old here, and more than one!
“Yeah! Great!”
This discovery made Ye Tian so excited that he secretly cheered a few times and almost couldn’t help but pump his fist in celebration.
Coming to Changdao is absolutely the right thing to do, I really let my buddy copy it!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he immediately looked at a storage box on the shelf, and the white light came from it.
It is no different from other boxes, and has no special markings. It is inconspicuous, but it is a small treasure, just waiting to be discovered by yourself!
With concentration, perspective begins!
The sight can easily penetrate the thin box, and the situation inside can be seen at a glance.
When he saw the contents of the box clearly, Ye Tian felt his heart suddenly tighten, and then it began to beat violently, and the speed seemed to increase ten times, or even more!
His eyes hidden under his sunglasses instantly lit up like searchlights, with scorching eyes! There was also a flash of crazy color in his eyes!
Fortunately, his expression was still calm and no drastic changes occurred, although his heart was boiling like a volcano!
The box contained baseballs and baseball cards from a famous baseball team, the greatest and most famous baseball team in the world!
New York Yankees!
As a person who works and lives in New York, you may not know the New York Knicks, the New York Giants, or the New York Rangers, but you absolutely must not know the New York Yankees!
In that case, it is best not to say that you are from New York, and never say that you love sports, otherwise you will definitely be laughed at and ridiculed by everyone! Even despised!
Ye Tian has worked and lived in New York for so long, so he naturally knows this baseball team very well.
Although he doesn’t really love baseball, he still has to get to know others in order to have a common topic.
While he knows the New York Yankees, he also has a little knowledge of various collectibles related to the Yankees.
Baseball collection can almost be classified as an antique category in the United States, and if it is further detailed, it can be divided into Yankees baseball collection and all other baseball team collections. This shows the popularity of Yankees collection.
Especially in the New York area, Yankees collectibles are hard currency, stronger than the U.S. dollar! It’s not uncommon for some rare baseball collectibles to be worth tens or even millions.
The most expensive one is the 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card, which was auctioned for a sky-high price of US$12 million in 2012, which is no less than the handed down paintings of Picasso, Monet and others!
Because of this, Ye Tiantian was so excited when he saw these baseball collections that he almost went crazy for them!
There are not many baseballs in the box, only twelve, which are in good condition and are packed in a plexiglass box. Each baseball is signed by the player.
There are quite a lot of baseball cards, about 200 of them, all sealed in plastic. They are well preserved and look almost new.
The ones emitting white light are two baseballs and five baseball cards. The rest of the collection is obviously from the past fifty years.
The two baseballs are from the late 1930s and the mid-1940s respectively, and the baseball cards are from the 1930s to the 1960s.
This is definitely a valuable collection and the best tool for harvesting old American dollars!
We must win it no matter what! Even if you give up your classic car, this is the most valuable warehouse! Definitely not to be missed!
Ye Tian made up his mind instantly!
Due to limited time, there are too many baseball collections, and there is no time to analyze them carefully to find out which baseball stars they belong to, which era they are from, and their specific value.
The first priority now is to capture this warehouse, and the rest will fall into place!
The ten seconds of visiting time passed quickly.
Ye Tian and Jason left the entrance of the warehouse. They had been visiting for the longest time, but Ye Tian’s expression did not reveal his inner thoughts at all, and his face was very calm.
This left many treasure diggers nearby scratching their heads, unable to figure out what he really thought about the warehouse, and therefore unable to formulate a response strategy.
The same was true for Jason. He didn’t understand Ye Tian’s true thoughts, so he could only put forward his own opinions and valuation of the warehouse.
“Steven, I value this warehouse at US$1,800, and the upper limit of the quotation is US$1,500. If you exceed this price, you will make no profit. What do you think? Are you ready to sell!”
Ye Tian nodded and smiled, but did not answer.
Ye Tian quite agrees with Jason’s valuation, and I believe that the others basically agree with this valuation.
You should be able to get this warehouse at a very cheap price, which would be great!
Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Ye Tian was so excited that he couldn’t help but sigh secretly.
Who knows its true value except yourself? This is a veritable treasure, worth any amount of money!
Soon, everyone finished visiting and the auction began.
The auctioneer stood back at the door of the warehouse and said loudly:
“Gentlemen, everyone has finished the tour. Now we are going to auction. Considering the condition of this warehouse, the starting bid of $200 is very reasonable. Is there anyone who can bid at $200?”
While shouting, he began to turn his head constantly to observe the reactions and actions of the bidders so as not to miss other people’s bids.
The assistant next to him is also observing the bidders’ bids, ready to remind the auctioneer at any time, and is also responsible for recording the hammer price and buyer information.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone accepted the offer.
“Yeah!”
A man at the front of the crowd raised his hand and accepted the price.
The auctioneer immediately raised his finger and shouted:
“OK! This gentleman asked for 200 US dollars. Now it is 250 US dollars. 250. Is anyone willing to take it? 250,…”
“Jack, $250, I’ll take it!”
A fat white man raised his hands and shouted.
Judging from the equipment he carries, he is a professional treasure digger, with a partner standing beside him. .
“OK! Welch bid $250, now 300, which gentleman should bid? 300,…”
The loud voice of the auctioneer Jack didn’t pause for a moment, he raised his hand and pointed at Welch, and he sprayed out like a barrage!
Ye Tian did not take action immediately, but watched for two rounds.
The bidders were unfamiliar faces. Several senior professional treasure diggers I knew did not bid. The other senior professional treasure diggers Jason had just introduced in a low voice showed no sign of participating in the bidding.
It seems that everyone thinks that it is not of much value and has given up on this warehouse. They are preparing for the classic car warehouse that may appear later, and are not willing to waste ammunition prematurely.
That’s good, the competition is much smaller!
At the same time, Ye Tian also discovered that several people had been observing him, obviously watching his actions to decide whether to follow up.
Ye Tian had no worries about them.
Except for a few predators, the depth of their pockets must be very limited. They can completely crush them with cash and pose no threat to themselves.
Even if they want to trick themselves, it is simply impossible! You can see through it yourself at any time.
No matter how high the opponent’s price is, as long as you have 1 dollar more than the money in his pocket, if he can’t come up with enough cash, then this warehouse will eventually belong to you.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Ye Tian decided not to wait any longer and took action immediately to achieve a quick victory!
Immediately, he shouted to the auctioneer:
“Jack, here, $500!”
The voice was very loud, resounding throughout the whole place, and the momentum was very strong, as if he was determined to take over this warehouse.
