People who love collecting are always silent in the midst of all kinds of misconceptions among laymen.
Friend said: Do you like to collect antiques? That must be very rich.
Relatives said: I also have a lot of old antiques in my family, help me sell a good price.
The wife said: What is the point of tinkering with these broken copper and rotten iron every day? Hurry up and throw it all away to live a good life.
Collecting is to hone the heart, to cultivate interest, is to precipitate culture, money is only incidental. In the eyes of the world, true collectors of folk antiques have to face a lot of unspeakable pain.
Lack of money is difficult to liquidate
Collecting only in and out, it will be more and more poor, under the pressure of the family, you have to give up your beloved collection. But antique markets are not like wet markets, and they have to find like-minded people to achieve satisfactory results.
However, the reality is that there are very few people who really know the goods, and there are countless people who want to pick up big leaks at a low price. Find a platform, the private fraud companies are flooded, the high-end market is closed to the people, in a word: difficult! Therefore, after playing until the end, I found that I had to rely on myself to find a circle to explore the channel, and an antique must be sold to knowledgeable players.
Have eyesight but no money
I have met many truly discerning experts, but they are so poor that they are jingling, why? Because in the process of continuous practical learning, the money is used to pay tuition, and when the "teacher" is "out of the teacher", he finds that he is shy, and he can find good goods but can only "look at things and sigh".
On the contrary, those rich "wronged heads" do not use eyesight, as long as they hire experts and brokers to help them palm their eyes, and then close their eyes to buy, buy and buy, it does not matter if they are slaughtered as fat sheep, because they can use money to smash a road alive. The reality is so cruel, many people say that they don't care about money, but in the case of overstretched, good money is expelled by bad money. Therefore, it is the most important thing to do a good job of hiding and preserving.
The industry is difficult to purify
In this line, everyone has nine hearts and eyes, one link after another routine, making integrity so fragile. People who play "national treasure" ridicule ordinary players as "rag gangs", and people with jealousy say that others are "national treasure gangs" when they see good, but the real "national treasure gang" is fishing in all kinds of muddy waters, afraid of the healthy development of the collection market.
You say his fake, he says your rotten, no one obeys anyone, but he will buckle the big hat, and if he doesn't dry goods, he will rely on imagining and falsifying history out of thin air. The so-called rational exchange, discussion of experience, and common progress are so ridiculous in the face of the disunified reality of Minzang. On the contrary, it makes the experts and scammers laugh and blossom, and the more chaotic they are, the more they can take advantage of the chaos to make money.
Counterfeiting is hard to stop
Counterfeiters argue: We are all making "handicrafts", making money and hard work, so why don't you let me build them? Turning his head, he began to "exploit loopholes", and the advertising words he played when shipping were all unearthed on behalf of old goods and first-line excavations. Antique dealers have turned the country's antique market into a distribution center for fake goods, causing the market to completely rot, and they are still shouting injustice: it is not easy to do business.
There are also countless players who suffer from "Stockholm Syndrome" and take the initiative to help fakes argue: if there are no fakes, there is no challenge, and fakes are the basis for prosperity. Well, after so many years, the antique collection has become the "prosperity" of experts, scammers, and fake dealers, and has become the "hell" of honest players.
Heart disease is difficult to cure
It is reasonable to say that the cultural crystallization of our Country for thousands of years should be in our own hands. However, unfortunately, the market "standard" of Chinese cultural relics is firmly in the hands of European and American countries. The rich are proud to have auctioned works of art at astronomical prices abroad, experts are proud of "overseas returns", and the Chinese antiques picked up by foreigners in the garbage heap are "orderly"!
This kind of "heart disease" is actually a cultural lack of self-confidence in the bones, as a European antique dealer said: "Chinese will send their treasures by themselves, because they like the pound sterling and the dollar." "The domestic high-end market and experts treat their own folk collections with arrogance, disdain and abandonment."
Quality is difficult to improve
In an industry that pays great attention to the level of culture, it is full of impetuosity, attacks, insults and slander, and all actions are to maximize their own interests. In fact, in this environment to engage in collection, if only talk about money has no meaning, while understanding the rules, folk Tibetan friends should do more, is to put the mentality at peace.
The premise of purifying the environment is the improvement of the quality of the public, the collection as a pure hobby, like to play, do not like to give up temporarily, a lot of our pain comes from asking for it. Stop spending unjust money to ask this person for identification, ask that person to help sell, busy is just a void. As long as you cultivate a good cultural literacy, even if you do not rely on antiques to make money, you can also benefit from other careers, so calmly, the collection industry is coming out of the quagmire, and the knowledge you have learned is a huge wealth.
