Ten years ago, the first patent auction was even reported in the newspaper. There were no deals after that.
There is no market and it is not advisable.
It needs to be vigorously promoted, but the results are hard to say, and no auction company is willing to do it. All they say and do is try to deceive you about the high upfront cost.
In addition, please note when submitting bids:
Nowadays, more than half of the companies in the auction industry charge huge upfront fees by overestimating the price of your lot, so as long as companies charge upfront fees, Don't send it for auction, this is the safest way.
Reputable companies do not charge upfront fees. This is the most effective criterion for judging the quality of an auction company. After paying the upfront fee, if the auction fails, the money is gone.
It is very simple to test the strength of a collectibles company or auction company. Just give it a try with a collection that you know its origin. Companies that charge upfront fees are not powerful auction companies. If the upfront fee is over RMB 10,000, it is usually a company whose purpose is to make money from the upfront fee.
It is recommended that whenever a collection company or auction company comes to you in the future, you should pay attention to the following two points:
First, pay attention to its company name. If there is no word "auction", They are all companies without auction qualifications. my country's Auction Law stipulates that the name of an auction company must contain the word "auction".
Second, when submitting the auction, pay attention to whether the auction company charges an upfront fee. If the upfront fee exceeds tens of thousands, you will have to return the lot and leave. To avoid being deceived.
