Antique collection
First of all, we should have a clear and objective understanding of antique collection activities, eliminate unrealistic fantasies and misunderstandings, and correct our mentality. Why is the antique collection so attractive? Apart from the reasons why collection activities bring people cultural spiritual enjoyment and artistic edification, another important reason is that people value its function of preserving and increasing investment to make money. In the collection circle, there are indeed many beautiful stories that rely on speculation or investment to make up for the gaps, earn a lot of money and get rich benefits. Unfortunately, people only see these lively money-making phenomena on the surface, but don't go deep into why they can make money successfully. I only know why, but I don't know why. It is these well-known successful money-making cases that not only arouse people's interest in antique trading, but also make people have some unrealistic one-sided understanding of antique collection, mistakenly believe that buying and selling antiques can make profits and preserve value, so as to buy blindly and rashly without knowing and mastering the necessary knowledge. We should know that there are many vivid examples in real life, telling us that we were cheated because of reckless purchase and lost all our money. Antique collection is an activity that requires high professional knowledge. The accumulation of these professional knowledge is a gradual process. There is no shortcut. Only those who are really interested in collecting will learn and appreciate the knowledge, understand the market trend and price, know how to identify and discard complicated antique items, and be lucky enough to spend less tuition. Therefore, the collection should not be short-sighted and blind, but should be mercenary. The main purpose should be to enrich amateur cultural life and add interest to life, and personal investment and financial management is only the second. Therefore, engaging in collection activities with a peaceful mind and a healthy mind may give you unexpected surprises in economic returns.
Secondly, it should be noted that antique collection activities, like any investment activities, have corresponding risks. The most basic ones include policy and regulation risk, operational error risk and arbitrage risk.
Policy and regulatory risks. Cultural relics commodities are special commodities, and China's current Cultural Relics Protection Law was promulgated and implemented by the National People's Congress 1982. Although it was formulated 20 years ago, some specific related contents have not adapted to the current social development (NPC is also stepping up the revision of the Cultural Relics Law), and it is still the current national code. There are specific definitions of cultural relics, folk cultural relics and revolutionary cultural relics, especially the relevant specific provisions on the collection and circulation of cultural relics, which should attract the attention of market participants. For example, the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics explicitly prohibits the sale of unearthed cultural relics, and underground unearthed cultural relics belong to the state. But this one has been ignored by many people. Although some unearthed cultural relics have little economic value and the buying and selling prices are quite low, the seriousness of this matter does not belong to the economic category.
Risk of operational errors. For ordinary antique collectors, operational errors refer to buying imitations at the price of genuine products or buying genuine products at a price higher than the market. The difference between the two is that the latter may get some compensation and return with the change of demand. The former can only make you lose money, and there is no hope of returning to your capital. As a means of financial management, antique collection is operated by professionals. If the operation is correct, it will inevitably be influenced by objective factors such as social and economic environment, supply and demand requirements, which will lead to the failure of expected income, not to mention enthusiasts who have no professional appreciation knowledge and superficial understanding of market operation, and the risk of mistakes in participating in antique trading is particularly obvious.
The risk of arbitrage. Objectively speaking, the antique market is an imperfect trading market after all and needs to be improved. Whether buyers and sellers can trade fairly or not depends largely on the participants' participation and their awareness of the market.
Then there is how to avoid making fewer mistakes as much as possible. Under the experience of market economy, people have to operate cautiously. However, why do experienced experts and novices inevitably buy the wrong things? The reason is the word "faith". There are both reasons for professional appreciation ability and reasons other than appreciation ability. Experts are often overconfident because they have rich knowledge and experience. They follow their feelings and occasionally make mistakes. In view of the lack of appreciation ability, enthusiasts turn to "expert friends" for help, so they either believe the opinions of "expert friends", or believe the temptation stories told by sellers, and even believe the signs of some shops. It should be noted that when "experts" are not in the state, "friends" also need to do interpersonal entertainment because of their needs. Under the impact of the market economy, the business purpose of some state-owned stores "treat customers with integrity and take reputation as the foundation" is sometimes distorted and stale. Another inducement besides appreciation ability is the psychology of picking up what is missing. Imagine that everyone dreams of the opportunity to buy high-value goods at low prices and then make a profit. Is this kind of thing realistic? Especially in today's society, the people's awareness of getting rich is becoming more and more popular. One day, a farmer dressed up told you that things in a dynasty can be worth a lot of money, and he would rather transfer the opportunity to make big money to you cheaply. Or when a kind-hearted elder confides the joy of his years of collection, suffering from children's dislike and unwilling to inherit, and now willing to transfer it to your bosom friend at a discount, will you believe that there is such a blessing?
Finally, to be a shrewd modern consumer, we should be prepared to claim compensation.
What should I do if I buy something wrong? Some people think that the antique circle is playing "estimation" and testing the discerning. If you buy the wrong thing, you will feel unlucky. Some people even cited some examples of individual celebrities making and selling fakes in history, trying to explain the rationality of making and selling fakes in antique collections, which made many people turn a blind eye to the behavior of making and selling fakes in antique shops. Actually, it is not. Antique shops don't fake. Anyone who buys the wrong one hurts. This kind of pain means not only the loss of money, but also the loss of reputation, face and heart disease of famous collectors, and finally they die of depression. This kind of pain also caused countless enthusiastic fans to be killed when they first set foot on the threshold. As victims of counterfeiting and selling, antique collectors hate any act of counterfeiting and selling. In this case, why have these counterfeiting behaviors not been effectively stopped in the antique industry? In addition to profit-driven, counterfeiting continues, another reason is the tolerance of consumers. In the past years, experts were ashamed to face when buying goods, accused of being unskilled, afraid of openness and confidentiality, and voluntarily gave up the right to pursue compensation. In today's society, China's Consumer Protection Law clearly stipulates that in the process of buying and selling, as long as the operator provides false and dishonest statements and promises to deceive the buyer, causing economic losses to the buyer, the buyer has the right to claim compensation, and antique shops are no exception. Therefore, we should take active actions to claim compensation for malicious deception. On the one hand, it is to protect their legitimate rights and interests from infringement, on the other hand, it can also contribute to purifying market behavior, so that those who deliberately deceive dishonesty have scruples and no place to live. Therefore, after the transaction is completed, the buyer should ask for the transaction voucher indicating the relevant commitments. Business units such as state-owned cultural relics shops usually have unified invoices for selling ancient cultural relics to customers. In private transactions, if the seller has made a promise, for the sake of stability, he should obtain the corresponding commitment credentials or transaction records for future emergencies.
The collection and appreciation of antiques is an elegant game, a tasteful game, a cultural game and a historical and nostalgic game. Antique investment belongs to the category of art investment. Antiques, involving a wide range of fields, are very complicated. From the perspective of materials, there are wooden antiques, ceramic antiques, jade antiques, jewelry antiques, metal antiques and so on; In terms of use value, there are classical furniture, one room and four study rooms, utensils, toiletries, ancient coins, books, newspapers and periodicals, cigarette posters and so on. Antiques are like an all-encompassing big market, with many things, many wins, mixed fish and dragons, and many ways to play. "Cultural relics in prosperous times, hungry people in troubled times". The country is prosperous, the people are well-fed and there is a market for antiques. The country is depressed and chaotic, and the people have no food and clothing. Nobody has the luxury of antiques.
Antique, as a commodity, has two characteristics: on the one hand, it has a heavy sense of historical vicissitudes and is the best witness of politics, economy, culture and military affairs in a period of social development; One is culture, taste and artistry. It is precisely because of these two most distinctive characteristics of antiques as commodities that professionals seeking gold in a certain field of antiques may win in the complicated antique market.
