Chapter 47: The New York Yankees
"Hey, it's a household goods warehouse, it's not much value!"
As soon as the warehouse door opened, there were several sighs ahead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Obviously, everyone was a little disappointed.
Unless there are antiques or luxury goods in the home goods warehouse, the value is very limited, and the auction price is not that high.
Ye Tian stood relatively far back, and when he saw the warehouse door open, he immediately stepped on his feet and looked around, and only a corner of the warehouse could be seen from the side.
As far as the eye could see, there were miscellaneous goods, piled up on the floor, rather messy, without any light or halo.
As far as I can see, this warehouse does not have the most desired and valuable antique artworks.
A little disappointed, but Ye Tian still had an expectation.
Who knows what happens to other places you haven't seen?
The warehouse opened, and the auctioneer stepped forward to inspect the inside.
After confirming that there are no guns, ammunition or other contraband, the tour will begin immediately.
Perhaps because it is not the goal, and the value is really limited, the speed of the tour is very fast, and everyone basically leaves at a glance, and it is obvious that this warehouse has been abandoned.
Soon, Ye Tian and Jason stood at the door, turned on the strong flashlight, and began to check the situation inside the warehouse.
It is indeed a warehouse for household goods.
Judging by the contents inside, the owner is at least a middle-class family, and all the items are of good brand and texture, and there are no cheap goods, which is in line with the identity of the warehouse of the residents of the wealthy district.
There are several brand-name appliances in the warehouse, all of which are products from ten years ago, although they are famous brands, but now they are not worth a few dollars at all, and 500 US dollars is sky-high!
Against the wall stood a tall wooden shelf with six or seven sorting boxes and some household items.
There are two sorting boxes that are not tightly covered, revealing the clothes inside, from which it can be inferred that the rest of the sorting boxes should be similar, of little value, and the possibility of finding surprises is not high!
The household items on the shelves are also some famous brands, but after all, they are second-hand and not worth much, and the normal estimate should be within $300.
There were a lot of debris thrown on the ground, scattered and scattered, $200 to stop. There are also two home lawn mowers, about seventy percent new, which are the most valuable things here, with an estimated value of $800.
The warehouse is worth this point, except for the inside of the sorting box, everyone can see the rest of the things, at a glance!
Seeing the situation inside, Ye Tian immediately understood why everyone was disappointed.
This warehouse has almost no secrets, and the value is not high, if you want to take it, you have to fight for the dollars in your hand, and even if you succeed, there is not much profit, and it is really not worth it.
The only space for reverie is the sorting boxes, which can be inferred from the two boxes that are not tightly covered, and the possibility of receiving surprises is not very likely.
So after seeing it, many people have already given up on this warehouse, or made a lower offer, ready to try it, and if it doesn't work, they will stop immediately.
Unlike others, in Ye Tian's eyes, the value of this warehouse is more than that.
As soon as he stood at the door, several white lights flashed in his eyes, dazzling and dazzling!
Obviously, there are antiques from a hundred years here, and there are more than one of them!
"Yay! that's great!"
This discovery made Ye Tian excited, and secretly cheered a few times, almost unable to hold back and directly wave his fist in celebration.
Coming to Long Island is absolutely correct, and I really let my buddy copy it!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he immediately looked at a sorting box on the shelf, and the white light came from it.
It's no different from the other chests, it's not marked with special markings, it's unremarkable, but it's a small treasure waiting to be dug up for yourself!
Concentrate and see through!
The line of sight easily penetrates the thin box, and the situation inside is unobstructed.
When he saw the contents of the box clearly, Ye Tian suddenly felt his heart tighten suddenly, and then he began to beat violently, and the rate seemed to have increased tenfold at once, or even more!
And his eyes, hidden under his sunglasses, instantly lit up like searchlights, his eyes were hot and hot!
Fortunately, his expression was quite calm, and there was no drastic change, although his heart was boiling like a volcano!
The box contains baseballs and baseball cards, both from a famous baseball team and the greatest and most well-known baseball team in the world!
New York Yankees!
As someone who lives and works in New York, you can not know the New York Knicks, you may not know the New York Giants, you may not know the New York Rangers, but you must not know the New York Yankees!
In that case, it's better not to say you're a New Yorker, and don't say you love sports, you'll be ridiculed, ridiculed, and even despised by everyone!
Ye Tian has worked and lived in New York for so long, so he naturally knows this baseball team very well.
Although he didn't love baseball much, he had to get to know it in order to have common topics with others.
While he knows the New York Yankees, he also knows a little about the various collectibles related to the Yankees.
The baseball collection in the United States can almost be divided into a separate antique category, and this can be divided into the Yankees baseball collection, and all other baseball team collections, which shows the popularity of the Yankees collection.
Especially in the New York area, Yankee collectibles are hard currency, stronger than the dollar! Some rare baseball collectibles worth tens of millions are commonplace.
The most expensive is the 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card, which sold for $12 million in 2012, no less than the heirloom paintings of Picasso, Monet and others!
Because of this, when he saw these baseball collections, Ye Tian was so excited that he almost went crazy about it!
There weren't many baseballs in the box, only a dozen, in good condition, in plexiglass boxes, each with a player's signature on it.
There are a lot of baseball cards, about 200 or so, all of which have been plastically sealed, very well preserved, and look like new.
Glowing white are two baseballs and five baseball cards, while the rest of the collection is clearly from the last fifty years.
The two baseballs are from the late thirties and mid-forties, and the baseball cards are from the thirties to the sixties.
This is definitely a valuable and precious collectible, the best weapon to harvest the old American dollar!
Even if you give up the classic car, this is the most valuable warehouse!
Ye Tian had already made up his mind in an instant!
Because of the limited time and the large baseball collection, there is no time to carefully analyze which baseball stars they belong to, what era they belong to, and what specific value.
Now the first task is to take this warehouse, and the rest will fall into place!
Ten seconds of tour time passed quickly.
Ye Tian and Jason left the door of the warehouse, they had been visiting for the longest time, but Ye Tian's expression did not show his inner thoughts at all, and his face was very calm.
This made many treasure diggers next to him confused, unable to understand his true opinion of this warehouse, so they could not formulate a coping strategy.
Jason was the same, he didn't understand Ye Tian's true thoughts, so he could only put forward his own opinions and the valuation of this warehouse.
"Steven, I estimate this warehouse at $1,800, and the upper limit of the offer is $1,500.
Ye Tian nodded and smiled, but did not answer.
Ye Tian agrees with Jason's valuation, and believes that the rest of the people are basically the same valuation.
You should be able to get this warehouse at a very low price, which is great!
Looking at the warehouse in front of him, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh with excitement.
Who knows its true value but himself? It's a veritable treasure, worth whatever it is!
Soon, everyone was done with the tour and the auction began.
The auctioneer stood back at the door of the warehouse and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, you've finished visiting, now for the auction, in the case of this warehouse, the starting bid of $200 is often reasonable, $200, does anyone apply the bid?"
As he shouted, he began to turn his head and watch, observing the reactions and movements of the bidders, so as not to miss the offer of others.
The assistant next to him is also observing the bidder's bid, ready to alert the auctioneer, and is responsible for recording the hammer price and the buyer's information.
As soon as the words fell, someone asked for the price.
"Yay!"
A man at the front of the crowd raised his hand and accepted the price.
The auctioneer immediately stretched out his hand and shouted:
"OK! This gentleman should be $200, now $250, 250, will anyone take it?" 250 ,......."
"Jack, $250, I'll take it!"
A fat white man raised his hand and shouted.
Judging from the carry-on equipment, this is a professional treasure digger, and there is a partner standing next to him.
"OK! Welch bid $250, now it's $300, and the gentleman should ask for $300,......"
The auctioneer Jack's loud voice didn't pause for half a minute, and he raised his hand and pointed at Welch, and it erupted like a cannon!
Ye Tian didn't make a move immediately, but watched two rounds.
It was an unfamiliar face who responded to the price, and several senior professional treasure diggers he knew did not make a move, and the rest of the senior professional treasure diggers that Jason had just whispered did not show signs of participating in the bidding.
It seems that everyone thinks that it is not of much value, and they have already abandoned this warehouse, and are preparing for the classic car warehouse that may appear later, and they are reluctant to waste ammunition too soon.
That's good, the competition is much smaller!
At the same time, Ye Tian also found that a few people have been observing themselves, obviously looking at their own actions, so as to decide whether to follow up.
For them, Ye Tian didn't have any worries.
Except for a few predators, the rest of the people must have very limited pocket depth, and they can be crushed with cash, and they can't pose any threat to themselves.
Even if they want to trick themselves, it is simply impossible!
No matter how high the opponent's bid is, he only needs to have $1 more than the money in his pocket, and if he can't come up with enough cash, then the warehouse will still belong to him in the end.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ye Tian decided not to wait any longer, and to make a quick move immediately!
Immediately, he shouted at the auctioneer:
"Jack, here, $500!"
The sound was very loud, resounding throughout the audience, and the momentum was also very strong, and it looked like he was going to eat this warehouse.
