Antique shops: quick and convenient, with slightly lower selling price
Common. If it is a collectible without price reference, the price will be agreed by both parties.
comments: antique shops can be realized easily and quickly, and they can directly inspect the goods with their collectibles. The disadvantage is that bargaining wastes saliva. If you don't know enough about the collectibles themselves, it is easy to underestimate the original value.
auction company: the handling fee is high, and high-priced collectibles are in demand
For high-grade and high-quality collectibles, it is a better way to send them to the auction house for auction, which is fairer and more just than other ways of realizing them. Generally speaking, the works of famous artists are popular in the auction market, with good liquidity and high turnover rate and return rate. Usually, high-value collections such as calligraphy and painting, antiques, etc. will go through the auction channel. Auction companies generally charge 12% commission according to the transaction price of the auction, in addition to 3% personal income tax, and also charge a certain album fee, which is about one 2 yuan per piece.
comments: auction houses can maximize the value of collectibles through auction, but the handling fee is slightly higher, and the process takes a long time, at least two months, which is not suitable for collectors who are eager to realize cash.
Collection websites: The price is real and the transaction is risky
"Professional collection websites can trade, but they need to register as members and pay a certain membership fee every year." A frequent visitor to online trading collectibles said that online trading has the most intuitive real-time price, and the repurchase price is slightly higher than that of antique shops, but it is not suitable for everyone.
comments: although the online repurchase price is high, the risks it bears are relatively large, and it may be damaged in the mail, so it is necessary to purchase insurance with a higher amount. Ordinary collectors had better not try online transactions.
entrusted shops: voluntary pricing, limited to a long time
entrusted sales of collectibles are similar to the consignment procedures of ordinary goods, but there are also differences. According to a seller who specializes in coin collection, he generally only accepts the entrustment of his friends. After accepting it, the two sides will agree on a reasonable selling price, then print the form in duplicate, and after the final sale, both parties will sign it for confirmation. At the time of pricing, the seller will give part of the profit to the agent and earn a little difference from it.
Comments: Entrusted sales can be priced according to the wishes of the owners of collectibles, but it has great limitations, and it is generally necessary to be familiar with the sellers in antique cities. Secondly, the consignment time is uncertain, which is not suitable for collectors who are eager to realize cash.
store repurchase: it is the easiest thing for both parties to negotiate and apply artworks
to solve the problem of realizing artworks, and sell them wherever they are bought. Mr. Chen, the person in charge of a gallery near the provincial exhibition hall, said that many galleries now have bargaining repurchase measures, so there is no need to worry about authenticity and valuation, so it has become a very common market behavior.
comments: for the gallery, things are sold from their own hands, and there is no concern when buying back. If the buyer is willing to cash in at the original price or the agreed reasonable price, it is welcome for most galleries.
