The collecting industry seems to be an inexhaustible treasure, full of temptations, so that countless people willingly rush into it. But collecting is a road of no return, destined to be full of bitterness and suffering, in this extremely cultural level of the industry, but full of poverty and shallowness.
Noisy and chaotic ghost market stalls, antique shops, do not pay attention to identity, do not require status, only eyesight is the most respected. However, after years of being washed by the chaotic market, many people have a mental illness, they deviate from the original intention of collecting, use gorgeous excuses to package "greed", and fall into the strange circle of material servitude and material fatigue.
First of all, there is the "giant baby" collection group. What is a "giant baby"? Refers to those who have reached adulthood but are still extremely immature in mind.
From the moment they entered the industry, there were many old players who followed the temptation: "You must practice your eyesight, you must quit greed, and you must open the channel yourself." These words are cocooned in the ears, and smart people do not need to be persuaded by others, and they will also be cautious and cautious, and slowly grope. But the vast majority of people who come in with the purpose of "getting rich" will not listen to any good words, and they have only one purpose: to quickly find a "receiver".
In the thinking of such people, ancestral things are equal to "valuable", the old people can not be fake, the old broken to sell the real and rare price, obviously did not pay years of effort but delusional collection of "national treasures". Whoever dares to tell the truth is "interest groups suppressing the people and Tibet."
The problem is that no matter what excuses they use, their purpose is to sell things quickly and make a fortune. But if you don't understand it, what will you encounter?
Obviously, the proliferation of treasure experts and auction companies is the end of such people!
For example, Zhang San had a piece of land, and suddenly one day someone told him that there was a gold mine underground, and Zhang San believed it to be true and immediately released the news. As a result, a bunch of people ran over to "help" Zhang San get rich, some people said that they could help detect, some people said that they could help sell, in short, Zhang San paid a large fee, and the scammers ran away when they made money.
As for whether he can really help Zhang San dig up gold, no one cares...
This is also the case with the "rich parties" in the collection industry, experts collect appraisal fees, auction companies collect service fees, and as for whether they can really help Tibetan friends sell their collections, no one cares. What even Tibetan friends themselves can't understand, why would others help you sell it and get rich?
However, after spending a lot of money, although the collection was not sold, it was "brainwashed" very thoroughly. Although they have been deceived many times, they still believe that their collection is valuable. The reason why I didn't sell it was because I didn't meet a reliable company. Therefore, while scolding experts, he looked for expert appraisals everywhere, and on the other hand, he scolded fraud companies and constantly looked for "reliable companies".
Caught in a dead loop, not saved!
The second type of person is the group that "always wants to pick up leaks".
It is very common to pick up leaks in the collection industry, as long as you have a good understanding of a variety and have a deep understanding of the market, then it is normal for a master to occasionally pick up a leak.
But the "always pick up the leak party" is different, in their thinking, according to the market price to buy the collection is a fool, high price to auction the collection is crazy, no matter what, must be bought at a low price and then sold at a high price, is considered success.
Carrying dozens of hundreds of yuan in his pocket, the shot must be official kilns, high ancient jade, bronzes, scattered folk treasures, just "picked up" by themselves at a low price. They look at the collection with a slanted eye with an extremely snobbish and speculative mentality, and then they will inevitably be treated obliquely by others.
Excessive paranoia and greed can lead to an absurd phenomenon. Using a lifetime of savings to collect a room of "national treasures", the result is all fakes, not a news, the most terrible consequence is the spiritual destruction of a person.
If they turn back in time, they will still be saved, but if they continue to be paranoid, they will become the most "untouchable" group in the collection world.
They wield the "moral stick" around, and who does not admit that their collection is a cultural traitor. Normal Tibetan friends collect "garbage", and the treasures are in their own hands. The Palace Museum and experts are idle eaters, and they are the spokesmen for Chinese cultural relics...
Using the lowest quality and full of foul language to express their "supreme pursuit", such people have completely lived in their own spiritual world, and normal people will avoid it.
There are many people who have "diseases", not only ordinary Tibetan friends, but also those indiscriminate cultural experts who use shallow and ridiculous theories to prove "quantity", and the result is that the right to speak is controlled by foreigners.
Those businessmen who are eager for success and quick profits use various routines and "old rules" to completely play down the integrity of the market.
The arrogance, purity, self-conceit, power, and arrogance of the past have completely turned into an ugly game of materialism.
This is a kind of "heart disease" that no group can escape from the top down, an inevitable end in a utilitarian environment.
Heart disease must be self-medicated, and collecting should be owned, not simply possessed; collecting is the excavation of beauty, not the plundering of things.
You can be filled with copper stench when doing business, but when examining a collection, the eyes should be clear and not utilitarian. True antiquities have spirituality, and they will only be returned to those who take them seriously.
It is not antiques that are valuable, but people; it is not the collection that appreciates, but the experience and mentality.
In this line, people who are bent on making money often suffer endless pain and suffering, and the mismatch of their own abilities eventually leads to mental imbalance. And those collectors who are detached from the mentality and are willing to be idyllic, in the fun of playing and appreciating, unconsciously harvest wealth.
