How to determine whether an auction company is a regular company?
Common sense of collection trading and auction: please read carefully to avoid being deceived: Tibetans are worried about whether the auction company is formal or informal, and how to distinguish it. Let's discuss several issues.
First: the first thing to enter the company is whether there is a business license. What is the scope of business license? If it is an exhibition company, then there is definitely no auction qualification. The auction qualification of an auction company shall be managed by the Ministry of Commerce of China, and approved by the departments of commerce of provinces and autonomous regions. For example, the auction qualification of Qingdao Book Collection Auction Co., Ltd. is approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce, and any regular auction company is pre-approved by the Department of Commerce and registered by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If there is no auction approval certificate and it is just an exhibition company, it is definitely not qualified and has no auction business. Therefore, we should be vigilant and avoid being deceived. As for the quality of service and the standard of charging, we must check and measure it ourselves. In particular, eight out of ten companies boasting that they can guarantee a 100% deal are not credible.
Second: regarding the appraisal of the collection, whoever buys it is responsible for the appraisal, and the collector's own things do not need to be appraised. Antiques do have authenticity problems, such as the official kiln in Gan Long. If you distinguish between authenticity and falsehood? This is indeed a professional and systematic appraisal system, because most of the known official kiln porcelain is collected in museums, and there are mainly the following channels for people to obtain official kiln porcelain: the emperor gives it, and the emperor will give it to his minions, love generals, relatives around him, relatives and so on. These future generations will cherish these official kiln porcelain very much, so the official kiln porcelain with orderly circulation can generally fetch a good price. For example, not long ago, the pastel Beast Ear Zun, which was sold at the spring art auction of Qingdao Collection 20 17, was sold for 4.58 million yuan. This collection has an orderly circulation, so it is sought after by collectors at home and abroad. The auction started at 1.8 million yuan, and the hammer price dropped to 4.58 million yuan. Buyers pay on the spot. The seller got the money in less than three days, which is a very successful model. 2. War, as we all know, the war continued in the late Qing Dynasty, and the warlords were separated, which led to the loss of palace cultural relics. It is common for people to collect a large number of official kiln porcelain, so many official kiln porcelain are circulated among the people. With the overseas return, many porcelains taken away by Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China were found abroad and brought back to China, which made it possible for ordinary people to collect official kiln porcelains. The above three reasons make it possible for people to own official kilns.
So how to identify it? How to identify? Who is in charge of identification?
Many Tibetan friends said that my ancestors had this thing, which was left to me by my grandfather. So who should identify something like this? How to identify? Many media have also exposed Shanghai, and many companies in Beijing have arrested a group of auctioneers, because they lured Tibetan friends to appraise and charged high appraisal fees. Many Tibetan friends spent hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and suffered heavy losses. Then if Tibetan friends think rationally, this collection is mine and I have it. I know the exact source of the treasure. How to identify, especially what grandpa left behind? By the way, the point is that collectors ignore an important question, that is, who bought the collection and who is responsible for identifying this eternal truth. Antique industry has existed for thousands of years. Why does the word "diamond" mean that you made a mistake when buying antiques, which led to the purchase of fake things. So, who is responsible for this appraisal? By the way, the practice since ancient times is that whoever buys things is responsible for the appraisal. If an auction company says it wants to identify something, then leave quickly with the collection. If you carefully observe the preview of Qingdao collection auction, you will find that many big buyers bring their own staff to make eyes at them. I have never heard that auction companies let collectors identify themselves and pay their own money. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish whether a regular company needs appraisal, and all collectors should be careful.
Third: the issue of this upfront fee mainly depends on whether the individual accepts it. This problem is actually very easy to solve. At present, large domestic auction companies, such as world-class auction companies, adopt membership system for external collection. Generally, if you want to send your collection to auction, you need to join the membership first. Membership dues are usually hundreds of thousands, which is not affordable for ordinary Tibetan friends. Other auction companies, because they are not as powerful as first-class enterprises, engage in publicity, transportation, promotion, packaging and printing in the early stage of an auction, and invite buyers to eat and stay. Everyone needs to invest. At present, most auction companies in China charge a certain upfront fee in order to expand their business. This is understandable, and it is impossible to judge whether the company is formal by charging upfront fees mechanically. Personally, as long as the upfront cost is not too high, it is acceptable, basically between 2000 and 3000, depending on the psychology of collectors. If it suits you, you will participate. If you don't, you won't. Regular companies usually clearly mark the price and spread the expenses on the table. Informal companies are generally vague, and collectors should be extra careful. The auction law also stipulates that if the auction fails, the client and the auction company can agree on a service fee, which is completely acceptable as long as the agreed fee is accepted by the collector. The auction company builds a platform, and everyone benefits. Isn't this a good cooperation?
Fourth: How to judge whether a company is a real auction? Actually this is the best solution. At present, the biggest publicity of antique trading in China is Yachang Art Network, which has Yachang auction business. When you check, you will find that regular auction companies will display their collections in it, which is very detailed. Collectors all over the world will click to view it. If you can't find this company on Yachang Art.com, be careful.
