Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 260 Auction
The three warehouses that started the auction were not the warehouses Liang En had selected before, so Liang En just filled in 50 to 100. The bottom dollar price is a hit or miss. At least according to their previous judgment, there should be no loss at this price.
More importantly, investing in every warehouse can make competitors doubt Liang En's goals and possibly disperse the other party's funds. It’s a little trick for this kind of hidden bid auction.
Compared with the previous auction that Liang En participated in in Germany, this auction was not only much faster due to the use of hidden bids, but the environment was also much quieter.
Because what everyone is doing now is to take a quick look inside after the auctioneer opens the warehouse door, then think about it on their own or discuss it with their peers, come up with a bid, and then put it into the box.
However, when he arrived at the fourth warehouse, Liang En slightly tightened his grip on the paper and pen in his hand, because this warehouse was one of his most promising warehouses.
The warehouse is not very full of things. If you look at it from the door, you can see that there are only seven or eight piles of things covered by a thick layer of dusty oilcloth.
Under one of the tarpaulins, it could be seen that there should be some kind of long strip of items piled up, and underneath the tarpaulin, a solid small tire with a diameter of more than 30cm was exposed.
At first glance, this thing seemed to be just some kind of common indoor trailer, but Liang En recognized that this small tire was a military solid tire, so such a thing should naturally be much more expensive than a trailer.
After returning from the warehouse door, Liang En did see part of the bid written by the auctioneer through the three ravens parked on the eaves of the warehouse and flying in the sky, but the other part was really invisible due to the angle.
According to the known information, these people's prices are between 1,200 and 1,500 US dollars. However, in order to ensure that he could successfully photograph this warehouse, Liang En felt that it would be better for him to get double insurance.
"I want to take over this warehouse, how much do you think is appropriate?" After reading the information that could be seen through the eyes of the raven, Liang En asked Pierce, who had the most experience in this area.
"This warehouse looks like some old machinery and equipment, and there doesn't seem to be anything special inside, so the price shouldn't be too high. I think it's a bit of a loss if it exceeds US$1,500."
Pierce frowned and said: "But if you want to be sure to win it 100%, I suggest you add $1,000, which is basically $2,500 to get something like this."
"2,500 US dollars?" Liang En thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then I decided to buy this warehouse for $2,500."
"Is this warehouse valuable?" Pierce asked in a low voice after looking around and realizing that Joan of Arc and Fan Meng had set up a cordon around them to ensure that no one else could get close.
"The wheel that looks like a frame truck leaking out from under the tarpaulin is not an ordinary wheel." Liang En also said in a low voice. "That's a relatively rare WWII German military solid tire."
"Then you'd better add a little more. For example, I think $3,000 is more secure." After hearing what Liang En said, Pierce immediately said, "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion."
Although Liang En and the others came together, they did not buy together. After all, Liang En and Pierce's needs are somewhat different, so except for some things that they will buy together, the rest they each buy from warehouses that they think are valuable.
Unlike those open-bid auctions, no one knows how much other people will pay in this kind of hidden-bid auction. Therefore, if you want to buy your own target, you may need to spend a little more money for insurance.
After all, different people may have different views on the same thing, so various magical prices may appear at such auctions.
So after deliberation several times, Liang En wrote a number like $3,100 on the paper, and then put it into the small box carried by the auctioneer after it was stamped.
The seventh warehouse going back was what Pierce liked. It contained some boxes and some early 20th century American Gilded Age-style furniture. Pierce wrote a price of $2,500 for this.
According to his opinion, the items inside can cost about US$6,000. If you are lucky enough to find a complete set of furniture, the price can rise to US$8,500.
So writing $2,500 has an element of gambling. If others offer a higher price than him, then even a mistake will not be a pity.
Warehouse No. 13 is the warehouse they looked at before and was filled with small industrial motors. After a brief discussion, the two decided to quote $6,005.
Because compared to other things, this kind of motor that looks well-preserved is the easiest to sell and the best to sell at a high price. However, because it is open to the public, they are not sure whether they can buy this thing. Take it with a grain of salt.
At around 12 noon, all the auctions ended. Because the other party said that they would not announce the final auction results of each warehouse until tonight, so Liang En and the others planned to go to the previous auction site in Queens to have a look.
After all, being idle is nothing but idleness, so let’s not waste time sleeping in the room. Might as well rush to another auction and see if I can find anything valuable.
All big cities around the world have traffic jams, and super cities like New York are no exception. So when Liang En and the others rushed to the warehouse in Queens, they found that the auction had already begun.
Unlike the port area, the scale of the auction here has been reduced by more than one level, with only three warehouses available for auction. To make matters worse, when they arrived, one of the warehouses had already been sold.
"It doesn't matter. We are just trying our luck here. It's best if we can find something valuable. It doesn't matter if we can't find it." Liang En comforted Joan who looked a little worried next to her.
"Even if you can't find anything, it's better to come to a place like this to open your eyes than to stay in a room sleeping or watching TV. After all, the warehouse auction is somewhat different from our previous work, and it can be considered a gain. "
Because there were not many people at the auction and the atmosphere was a bit cold, the auctioneer waved to Liang En and the others enthusiastically and shouted. "Those who haven't looked at the warehouse should take a look now. After reading it, we will start."
"This warehouse is useless. If the price is low, it's okay to buy it, but if it exceeds 300 US dollars, you will definitely lose money." After briefly looking at the warehouse currently being auctioned, Liang En and Pierce quickly reached a consensus.
Because there are mainly a dozen clothing models in the warehouse, as well as the piles of gray fabrics and bags on the ground. It seems that a certain tailor shop must have thrown all the unnecessary things here after closing. .
Although there are two relatively inexpensive electric sewing machines stacked next to it, it is obvious from the door that the side panel of the sewing machine has been opened, and a lot of threads came out of the open panel.
You must know that the most valuable thing about a sewing machine is the motor inside it, but judging from the current situation, these two sewing machines are most likely just empty shells.
However, both Rags and Model Pierce have ways to sell quickly, so if they think the price is right, taking over this warehouse is also an option.
