What "industry rules" do you know in the jade industry?

1. If two or three people are interested in the same batch of goods, whoever bids first should not cut in and raise the price.

A group of friends went shopping and saw a bracelet. The color distribution and texture transparency of the same bracelet were slightly different. The price would be different if they were bought individually. It would be cheaper to buy all of them, but it was inevitable that some of them would have stone patterns and cracks.

Usually, as long as you sell one or two bracelets of good quality, you can make a profit from the other bracelets. After one of them starts asking for the price and bargaining, you are not allowed to raise the price at this time. This is the most taboo in the industry. Wait until the other party stops raising the price and gives up. If you are still willing, then you can negotiate.

The most disgusting thing is to just look at the goods and rush to buy them. No one will be friends with you, no one will look at the goods with you, and no one will provide you with inside information. They will even set traps for you to fall into when there is a chance!

2. When a group of people are selecting goods, do not bargain on the spot

When a group of strangers are shopping together and you like a pendant or bracelet, don't bargain on the spot. Usually you have to wait until the crowd leaves before you bargain with the boss. When you ask the price from someone in the jade industry, usually the boss will use a calculator to show you the price. Because if you bargain very low, the boss will still sell it to you, and others will follow suit and bargain reluctantly, so never bargain directly with the boss in a group of people.

Second, don’t ask the price of every piece of jade. If you ask the price, it’s best to bargain.

Every boss dislikes customers who only ask about the price but don't bargain. Because without bargaining, there will never be a deal. In the jade market, people often pay as much as they see. It is rare to see prices marked out in the market, unless you are a regular customer, the boss will give you a price that is closer to the market price. Otherwise, strangers will never bargain and will only give as much as they want.

3. If it is your first time buying something, buy it even if it is a little expensive.

The first time you go to an unfamiliar market or stall, if there is something you like there, even if it is hundreds of dollars more expensive than what you bought before, you should always make a good impression on each other the first time. If you become an old customer, they will naturally greet you from afar and even show you their best goods from the bottom of the box. In this way, you will be able to pick good things without any effort.

When doing business, both parties want to make money. The price of good quality goods may differ by hundreds or thousands of dollars. The purchase price is also different every month. You cannot always compare the prices at the beginning of the year or last year. If you feel your boss's words are opportunistic, and you want to make another friend and get some inside information, then you should close the deal if you can at least do it the first time.

Once in Pingzhou, a friend introduced me to a friend who sold raw materials. I looked at some small pieces of material, and the price was not as cheap as buying them in Ruili. Although it was a few hundred dollars more expensive, I also picked out two pieces of material in order to make one more friend. Looking back now, if I had bought all of it at the time, the value would have increased by at least five to ten times. And he is very enthusiastic every time I go to Pingzhou. In addition to doing business, make more friends. Don’t lose a good friend because of being petty.

5. Entrust someone to find the goods, but then don’t pick them up

Many times, customers will ask the store to help them find a bracelet or something. When entrusting a buyer to purchase goods, please inform the color, hand size, crop size, width, etc. as much as possible. Another important point is the price range.

When the seller finds the goods for you, if it is not what you need, please be sure to notify the seller in time. If you keep others waiting, it will be difficult for them to help you find the goods next time! Sometimes when you ask a store to help you find goods, you will be asked to pay a deposit, or half of the deposit, to increase your credibility.

The jade business circle is very small. Good news can spread thousands of miles, but bad news can spread tens of thousands of miles. In this industry, reputation is more important than money or even life.

6. If you bargain, you must buy it, otherwise don’t bargain.

This means that the jade transaction has not been concluded. After the store makes an offer, you try to bargain hard and finally reach an agreement on the transaction price, which means the deal is done. Before or after paying, you may wonder why the boss is so generous with the product, or a friend nearby may tell you that you paid too much. At this point, some buyers will regret it and say they will not buy it on the spot, or they may even try to bargain again. These buyers are usually weak-willed and easily change their minds based on what their friends say.

It may not cause any impact once or twice, but if it happens frequently in this circle, it will spread throughout the entire store, and it will be very difficult to buy goods here in the future. Doing business depends on integrity. If someone makes an offer and you say you want to buy it and they refuse to sell it to you, would you think that person is dishonest? In fact, the same principle applies. If you bargain. In the end, if someone doesn’t buy it, does that mean you lack integrity?

7. Return or exchange after purchase

Buying and selling jade is just about buying experience with money. Buying jade requires vision and courage. Many times, buyers will make mistakes. The color of jade will have different depths or tones under different lighting and time. This happens all the time, even among self-proclaimed experts. When buying jadeite, unless you buy B-grade or dyed C-grade jadeite, you can request a refund or exchange. Otherwise, you cannot ask for a refund on the grounds that the color, carving or style are not right.

eight. Jade is not in your hands

This rule applies to all antiques and jewelry. Please do not take jadeite from someone else's hand and look at it. The correct way is to ask others to put it down first and then take it yourself. Because in the process of passing jadeite to each other, it is very likely to be accidentally broken.

If something is accidentally broken, both parties will be liable for compensation. Furthermore, there are some people who, in the past, were called "smashing porcelain" and who take advantage of this hand-to-hand opportunity to extort money. A piece of jade has a scratch on it, but it is not easy to see. When it is handed to you, someone suddenly drops it and takes the opportunity to blackmail you!
