Andy looks at the stalls with two puma bodyguards. Of course, he looks at the real used goods. Well, they are old clothes and shoes. It seems that NIMA and the old military uniforms brought back from the Korean battlefield are... It's too broken.
Just smell those rags and Andy will be deterred. Maybe we can send them to the film and TV series as props? Well, absolutely.
Andy looked at a booth with some old street signs and some old crafts. It was unique and interesting. Andy thought maliciously that the stall owner would not be a thief. He stole street signs... Why else put up a sign refusing to take photos?
To be honest, Andy has nothing to buy in flea market. He just wanders around and takes a look at what he is interested in. It's very interesting.
As for antiques, Andy is really not interested in looking at those bottles and jars with different shapes, dark and rough workmanship, which really has no aesthetic feeling.
The really exquisite silver antiques are not likely to appear here. They are just as exquisite as the Chinese antiques. They are so ingenious that Andy just glances at them and stops.
Stop at a booth with a long table full of photos of the 50s and 60s female stars with frames. The oldest thing in the house is a 1927 medvedor phonograph.
Andy's impression of the gramophone is still in the Chinese TV series, the gramophone with a big horn.
Listening to the introduction of the owner, Andy got to know something. No wonder the owner's proud expression was so obvious.
This is a very rare Victor 7-36x, made in 1928-29 in the United States vinyl record player. It has the function of 78 RPM record playing and radio. It works with the electronic tube. It's really very difficult for this Victor to survive. Especially now it can still work normally with loud and clear voice.
Andy looks at the 140cm high gramophone. The whole wood structure, the surface and even the owner's care form a reflective coating. The metal parts of the gramophone are made of brass. This gramophone is a good thing indeed.
Of course, it's not flawless, because it still has some use marks brought by history, some bumps on the right side of the top, and a little incomplete leg. But it's not a big problem.
Andy didn't know whether the stall owner said it was true or not. In the late 1920s, the price of the gramophone was about $475, and at that time, a person's salary was only $2 a day.
As the price of the stall is a little high, so it has not been sold out. Many collectors often bother him, hoping that he can reduce the price.
Andy saw the stall owner strongly recommend to him, this middle-aged old beauty is also a smart man, see Andy is not an ordinary person, well, this Andy is really a little silly lack, go to this flea market, take two bodyguards behind him, either silly lack or pretend lack.
Sure enough, the stall owner's eyes were shining, and the price was about 60000 dollars. Andy watched the middle-aged man look at himself with expectant eyes. He couldn't help but turn his mouth and turn his white eyes. "Ma, I really think I'm a fool!"
"Twenty thousand, that's all. If you sell it, let's trade it now. If you don't think the price is right, keep it for yourself." Andy doesn't have a good face for each other. The stall owner is definitely a profiteer. He wanted to cut half of the price, and the other side agreed to buy it. However, the gramophone is not very popular with him. It's just that it can be kept in such good condition for decades, and it can still work normally. It's really not easy. If the price is right, it's not impossible to collect it.
But if you want him to be a big enemy, that's another thing. The stall owner saw Andy's indifference and didn't know well. The customer wanted to talk about the pace of business collapse. 20000 dollars is not low. The price he asked for is 20000 dollars. In fact, 15000 dollars is acceptable to him.
Just look at Andy's style. He's definitely a kid from a rich family. He's not willing to kill him. Just when he's struggling, Andy finds that there's a Chinese plaque in the middle of a stall not far away. It says three bright gold characters of "jibaozhai". His eyes should not be narrowed. As a Chinese, he can't write calligraphy, but the writing is good It can be seen that it's not good.
Andy glances at the middle-aged beauty who is still struggling. He turns around and is about to leave. The old beauty stall owner shouts: "OK, sell it. Sir, I have some vinyl records with this gramophone. Do you have any interest? "
Andy doesn't want to waste his time on this old beauty. "One thousand dollars, I want all your vinyl records. We'll trade it if we agree."
The middle-aged stall owner is a bit shabby. Some of these vinyl records are very precious, but it seems that the young man doesn't intend to continue to bargain, and he can't help but gnaw his teeth and nod his head. After all, there are only a dozen of vinyl records in this box that are worth collecting. Others are really not worth much money. Some of them are also badly worn. If he struggles again, he may hit them again.
Andy takes his LV bag from Joseph, takes out two beautiful knives from it, and points out a thousand dollars to the smiling stall owner, "Kenny, you ask this boss to help you put the gramophone in the car, boss, no problem?""No, no, I have a trailer. It's convenient..."
Andy didn't take care of the middle-aged stall owner. He turned to Joseph and whispered, "don't follow me for a while."
Joseph nodded and knew that the boss had found out the problem. He smiled and took the bag from the boss, and watched the boss put several bundles of dollars into his pants pocket, which was a bit bulging.
Andy took a deep breath, smiled with sunshine on his face, wore a pair of sunglasses, and walked towards the plaque.
Andy approaches and carefully observes the plaque. The background paint on the plaque is mottled. The three bright gold characters are also a little se missing. The border is a bit broken and the protection is very poor.
Andy's eyes brightened as he looked at the small signature on one side. The signer above, Andy really knows, because he has been to this man's former residence.
Suzhou No. 1 scholar Museum, the former residence of Pan Shien, the No. 1 scholar at the end of Qianlong period, has successively served as Minister of Li, Minister of Li and Minister of work.
Unfortunately, the appearance of this plaque is not good at all. Andy looks at the young man who has been cleaning the booth with his head down. Originally, he should be very kind with black hair and yellow skin, but Andy's eyes are not very friendly.
Originally, if the plaque is broken due to historical reasons, it's really impossible, but watching the plaque is so casually thrown aside, Andy can be sure that the young stall owner is an ABC, and has no idea what he sells at all.
In this way, if you don't know the goods, you can transfer them to the person who knows the goods.
Andy crouches down to look at the things on the stall, which attracts the attention of the stall owner. There is no happy expression on the stall owner's face, but he says mechanically, "welcome."
Andy nodded and asked abruptly in Mandarin, "you are good. Did you bring these things from China?"
"Well?" At last, there was an expression on the young stall owner's face. It was still a very surprised expression, but the expression on his face became a little tangled again. Well, Andy saw that the young stall owner's face was red, which was a little puzzling.
But as soon as the young stall owner opened his mouth, Andy understood. NIMA, this Chinese saying is cruel enough. It's ABC. Andy smiled and shook his head helplessly, and said in English: "your Chinese is not as good as mine."
"Cough... I'm the third generation of Chinese Americans, so this Chinese saying is really not good. However, sir, your Chinese saying is very good. If my grandfather saw you, he would be very happy. Unfortunately... Ah. "
Andy saw the young man's sad expression, and roughly guessed that the things in this stall should be the young man's grandfather's, and the sad expression should be his grandfather's death.
"You can call me Andy. Your things are very interesting. Most of them are from the Republic of China. Especially this pile of newspapers were issued at that time. It's really not easy to keep them so well." Andy didn't want to explore other people's private affairs, so he had to turn the subject around.
"You can call me Stephen. These are all left by my grandfather. It's easy to get moldy in the warehouse. I'm afraid that they will be thrown away as garbage in the end. My grandfather was very precious to these things before his death. I don't want him to get angry in heaven, so I'll come to the flea market and help them find a suitable owner..."
Andy really feels a chill when he listens to it. NIMA, the people in the heaven believe in the gods in the heaven. OK, return NIMA to God. Bah bah, OK. Don't blaspheme God. He's a kid. He's from across. It's a slap on the face.
"Ah, by the way, sir, your words are so good. You must like the Chinese culture very much. Look, this is my grandfather's favorite thing in his lifetime." With that, Stephen took out a small wooden case from behind that was the size of the storage box sold in the supermarket.
Andy is a little shocked and speechless looking at the things in the wooden box, looking at Stephen and asking, "are you sure you want to sell these things?"
"What? Is there any problem? " Stephen asked, a little confused.
"No... No problem, just these... These comic books, well, are called comic books in the Chinese dynasty. It's rare to have such a complete collection and preservation. Although they are not valuable, they are valuable for collection. " Andy looks at the complete set of comic books in the box, such as a dream of Red Mansions, outlaws of the marsh, and records of the Three Kingdoms. He really is very precious. Of course, he will not understand the ABC in front of him. The precious degree of these comic books printed in the Republic of China.
