Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 280 Doll House
The rules of this kind of auction are also very simple. All warehouses have a unified bottom price. Those pocket warehouses have a base price of $100 each, and small warehouses are $150.
Like most warehouse auctions, this sale is cash only. Liang En thinks the reason is probably because the store wants to do something about taxation.
Of course, the things behind these things have nothing to do with Liang En. After all, he is just here to participate in the auction and does not need to get involved in this aspect.
Las Vegas is a fast-paced city, and so are the warehouse auctions here. So seven warehouses were sold soon after the auction started.
Liang En didn't pay a penny for them, because in his opinion, those things were just discarded items that tourists didn't want, and if he paid for them, he could indeed make some money. But it is obviously not worthwhile for Liang En and his group of non-locals.
But when the eighth door, that is, warehouse No. 57, opened, Liang En's eyes suddenly lit up. Because there are two large plastic boxes in this warehouse, and judging from the dust marks on the warehouse floor, the plastic boxes must have been dragged in.
In addition, there were some things like women's swimming suits, swimming caps, and completely shriveled lifebuoys scattered around the box.
"I think there may be diving equipment in the box." After quickly gesturing the size, Liang En said to Pierce, "Both the size and weight are very similar."
"You're right, then our base price will be 600." Pierce looked at it, nodded in agreement, and then gave a price.
Of course, this price is not high. After all, it is not as convenient for them to handle everything as those local snakes, so if the business profit margin is not high, they will naturally choose to give up.
Soon, the quotations started, and in just a few rounds, they exceeded the lowest price previously set by Liang En and the others. After all, in addition to tourists who came to experience life, most of the people on site were professionals, so they could naturally guess what was in the warehouse.
In the next few auctions, Liang En and the others lost two warehouses that they had previously been interested in. Each time, it was because these professional treasure hunters’ bids exceeded the bottom line they had previously set.
"Okay, now let's take a look at this warehouse." Because the auction had already started for nearly an hour, the auctioneer also lost his previous enthusiasm under the sunshine of the Nevada desert, and just opened the rolling shutter door to deal with some errands. He waved his hand.
The warehouse looked empty except for something covered by a cloth placed against the wall. It looked like a small house with a pointed roof.
"Is this a doghouse?" Glancing at the ravens that were jumping around on the roofs of the warehouses around them, Pierce asked quietly as he looked at the thing under the cloth.
"That should be it - wait, I seem to have discovered something else." Liang En was just about to give up on the warehouse, when something under the cover suddenly attracted his attention.
It was a rectangular piece of wood only the size of a postage stamp. This piece of wood looked like just a piece of garbage that could be seen everywhere, but the bonus the card gave Liang En allowed him to observe that there seemed to be a complex structure on the piece of wood.
"I think this thing may have some special value." After thinking about it carefully, Liang En made up his mind and looked at Pierce seriously and said. "So I think we should buy this thing."
"Is that what you feel?" Pierce asked seriously after looking at Liang En's firm expression. After receiving a positive answer, he immediately made the decision to follow Liang En.
After all, experience and luck are equally important in the treasure hunting industry, and Liang En's previous performances have shown that his sixth sense is indeed extraordinary, so he trusts his sixth sense when hesitating like this. is a good choice.
Perhaps because everyone thought this should be a doghouse, when Liang En and the others offered 600 US dollars, no one was willing to continue to follow the price. This also allowed Liang En and the others to gain the first prize in this auction. storehouse.
But in addition to this warehouse, they were unable to succeed in the other target warehouses. This was mainly because there were so many professionals among the people participating in the auction that they simply could not pick up the missing items.
Of course, it is also an important reason that local warehouses are mainly short-term lease warehouses. As a result, the tenants of the original warehouses rarely cover the things they store, so that auctioneers can see what is in the warehouse at a glance. thing.
After another hour, all the auctions ended, and those who had not bought anything quickly left. Because there were many similar auctions in the city, they were still rushing to the next auction.
Those who auctioned to the warehouse paid cash to the auction organizer and then cleaned up their warehouses. Perhaps considering that some people would buy several of these warehouses at once, the cleaning time was delayed from 24 hours to 48 hours.
However, this delay does not mean much to Liang En and the others. After all, they only photographed one warehouse, and there was only one thing in the warehouse, so it was estimated that they should be able to pack this thing away in ten minutes.
Although this city is located in the Gobi Desert of Nevada, because these warehouses have not been rented for a long time, there is not much dust inside.
Opening the door with the key, Liang En rushed into the warehouse in one stride, and immediately picked up the small pieces of wood from the floor that he had observed some complex structure before.
Putting the piece of wood in front of him, Liang En discovered that this thing was made up of several small pieces of wood spliced together. When he turned the piece of wood over, he was surprised to find that it was a miniature photo frame, and there was a miniature photo frame embedded in it. Zhang's equally tiny landscape oil painting.
"What is this, a toy?" Just when Liang En saw clearly what this piece of wood was, Pierce stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering it.
"Dollhouse!" Liang En immediately turned his head when Pierce called him, and he happened to see the thing that was hidden under the cover: a 3-story small house with white walls and red tiles.
"What do you mean this is?" After hearing what Liang En said, whether it was Pierce, Fan Meng or Joan of Arc, they all had curious looks on their faces.
"A dollhouse is a toy that some children used to play house when they were young." Liang En pointed to this small house and explained. After all, most of the people present were men. This kind of game is not often played in novels, and Joan of Arc There was no such thing in those days.
"In other words, this is a child's toy?" Fan Meng looked at the dollhouse with interest and asked, "Are all children's toys these days made so exquisite?"
The reason why he said this was because when he bent down and looked through the window into the house, he found that the rooms in this small house had various decorations just like the real house, and there were also a large number of furniture and daily necessities.
In short, this thing looks like a scaled-down three-story mansion. With the sophistication of this thing, it’s hard to imagine that it’s something for children to play with.
"Actually, this thing has been around since the 16th century." Hearing what Fan Meng said, Liang En smiled and explained. "But at that time, only the royal family and nobles could own toys of this level, which were considered a luxury."
