Shaking the World

When Lorraine hurried to the Ingersoll Auction House with the magic box, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Lorraine, who went out in the morning, was already so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back. When talking with Milos before, his stomach kept growling, which made him very embarrassed. Because he had something to do, he declined. He accepted Milos' proposal to invite him to dine at the manor.

Arriving at the entrance of the Ingersoll Auction House, Lorraine saw Rose waiting there at a glance, and Rose also saw him.

Lorraine went up to greet her, and the first thing she said was: "Do you have anything to eat?"

When he was in his hometown of Rhett Town, Lorraine’s father Lawson often prepared some meat pieces for him as snacks for Xiaopi, but since he entered Naluo College, he never brought them with him food.

Fortunately, Ross was more thoughtful. While waiting for Lorraine, he went to a nearby snack bar and bought some special snacks, scallion rolls. He knew that Lorraine eats a lot, so he bought more Some.

Lorraine took a bag of scallion rolls, and the two of them squatted on the steps in front of Ingersoll's door and ate them as if no one else was there, which attracted the attention of passers-by. Maybe the guards from the auction house would have come over to drive people away.

"It's faster than I thought, how is it? Did you find out the details of the two thieves? Was it a temporary idea, or was it instigated by someone?" Ross asked as he chewed the food in his mouth slowly.

Lorraine, who was wolfing down his mouth, snorted, stuffed the small half of scallion oil roll protruding from his mouth with his index finger, chewed hard a few times, and swallowed it, saying: "They have received a task, someone entrusted them Come to steal things, I have seen the client."

"who is it?"

"you guess."

"I know?"

"Ah."

"Forget it, you'd better just say it, I don't like to use my brain." Rose rolled his eyes.

"It's Atharina." Lorraine wiped out a scallion roll again.

"How could it be her?" Rose was stunned, "Then how did you get the box back?"

"There was a fight."

"Did she see you?"

"I'm faking it."

"What are you pretending to be? Your vindictiveness is so obvious."

"I don't need to be angry."

"That's even more obvious, the body of strength is your signature!" Ross was speechless.

"Don't worry, she shouldn't recognize me." After speaking, Lorraine stuffed the last scallion roll, sucked|sucked her fragrant fingers, and was still a little bit unsure, wondering whether to buy some more belts later. go back.

"Let's go, it's time to get down to business."

The two got up, and walked into the auction house swaggeringly under the disgusted eyes of the guards.

As soon as they entered the gate of the auction house, the two of them came to the venue of the auction house, that is, the place where the auction was held. A general auction house only has rows of chairs, but it is divided into sections one after another, in which are placed luxurious wooden tables and chairs, and various high-end appliances.

Those who can participate in the auction here are either high-ranking and powerful dignitaries, or wealthy people. This arrangement can be regarded as catering to the identities of these big shots.

Lorraine looked up and found that the dome of the entire venue was not closed, and sunlight shone in from the circular gap, so the venue looked so bright.

Through that gap, Lorraine also saw Ingersoll's iconic building, which was a hammer held in one hand. It was not a hammer for forging weapons or combat, but an auction hammer. The small mallet with two round ends used by the master to auction items.

The arm was tilted at an angle, as if the auctioneer had dropped the hammer after the buyer had won the bid.

The hammer was just above the gap, and if you look at it for a long time, you will feel that the hammer is about to fall. Lorraine collected himself, looked away, and stopped looking.

At this moment, a female employee walked out of a side hall, came straight to the two of them, bowed and smiled and said, "Welcome gentlemen, what kind of business do you need to handle?"

Ross said, "Hello, we have something that we would like to entrust your bank to auction."

The female staff looked at Luo Si and said: "Sir, if you want to entrust us to auction your items at the auction, we need to identify and evaluate your items. We can only provide you with consignment services when requested by the auction.”

The auction house not only holds regular auctions, but also operates a consignment business, which is one of the main sources of income for the auction house.

The consignment of auction houses is quite different from the marketing model of commercial houses.

On the continent of Ala, there are generally three major sales channels for the items harvested by people during their expeditions.

The first is to set up a stall to sell by yourself. You can choose to go to some adventurer distribution centers or the downtown area of ​​the city to set up a stall for sale. The advantage is that the price can be set by yourself, but it is a waste of time, and some cities prohibit setting up a stall. , you also need to beware of the expulsion of the city guard.

The second is to sell to commercial firms. Commercial firms recycle the most types of goods and accept almost everything. As long as you are willing to sell them at the price set by the commercial firm, they will give you the money without saying a word, but the recovery price of the commercial firm It's very pitfall, even less than half of the normal price of the item, but the advantage is that it can quickly process a variety of loot, cash it out quickly, and save time.

The third is to take it to the auction house for consignment.

There are no restrictions on the types of items consigned by the auction house. Generally speaking, as long as the consignment is not too outrageous, you can consign whatever you want, but no matter whether the consignment is successful or not, you must pay a certain deposit. The amount of the deposit depends on the time of the consignment. Proportional, the longer the time, the higher the deposit, and this deposit is non-refundable.

If the item is sold successfully, the auction house will also draw a certain percentage of money from the transaction price as a handling fee, which is the source of income for the auction house.

The rules of the auction house consignment sale are like a small auction. After the seller registers the consignment items, he can choose the consignment time. This time is not limited, but the longer the time, the higher the deposit will be.

The selling price of the item on consignment is also set by the seller. During the consignment period, if a buyer wants to buy it, he will give a higher price than the selling price. This bid is also the buyer's free bid, one gold coin or higher [-] gold coins are all right, but if others want to buy this item, they have to pay a higher price. This is also a way of bidding, but it is conducted in a private place.
