Xiaobai went to the jade market to buy jade, but the stall owner was indifferent. Why?

Many jade lovers will find that when they first entered the jade circle, they went to the market (here we are talking about the regular jade market, not the tourist attractions where one-time transactions are made) to buy jade. However, just because they said a few more "layman's words", the boss treated them as "rookies". The boss' attitude immediately became much colder, and it was even difficult for them to get a few more pieces to look at. They would not even show you high-quality jade. Isn't it true that many bosses like to "cheat" people who don't understand jade?

In fact, it is normal to encounter such a phenomenon. If in this situation, the boss treats you warmly and takes the initiative to "leak" for you, you should be alert at this time, because it is very likely that it is not the "leak" you want, but the "medicine".

Many experienced jade lovers know that jade merchants do not like to do business with "outsiders". The reasons for this phenomenon are nothing more than the following:

1. Many newbies love jade very much, but they don’t understand it. They often compare some photos of BC goods with high-quality goods, and they won’t listen to any explanation. Many bosses feel like vomiting blood.

2. I finally convinced myself to buy the product and show it to my friends. If anyone said it was too expensive or fake, I would immediately ask the merchant to return it. I never believed the certificate and was unwilling to go to an appraisal agency for re-inspection.

3. You do not have basic knowledge about jadeite and just follow what others say. You describe the characteristics of jadeite for six or seven digits to your boss. As a result, you spend a long time looking at high-quality jadeite, while your actual budget may be only a few thousand yuan.

The early jade industry was similar to the antique industry. It relied on vision and experience, and there was no chance to regret once you got out. If word spreads in the industry that someone regrets or exchanges a product, no one will be willing to do business with him anymore. Of course, with the popularization of Internet channels today, these unspoken rules are basically in name only, and more and more businesses support returns and exchanges. However, buyers who frequently return or exchange products due to being newbies are also unwelcome. Many businesses have high requirements for their customers. They know which customers can be cooperated with for a long time and guarantee the interests of the other party, and which customers cannot be treated sincerely. The businessmen have their own standards in their minds.


"Gold has a price, but jade is priceless" has been passed down for thousands of years. It is precisely because of this concept that many laymen think that the price of jade can be set at will by the seller. If you are in a good mood today, you can get twice the profit; if you are in a bad mood today, you can make ten times the profit without negotiation. This is because the understanding of the jade industry is too superficial. The pricing of jade is affected by market factors and has its own set of industry standards. Although it cannot be specific to single digits, the price range is basically stable. This is also the reason why the industry often uses terms such as small three, large four, and medium five. It is absolutely impossible for the glutinous variety to be priced at the same price as the glass variety. Every difference in water head and every lightness in color will result in a big difference in price.

Generally speaking, experts will not give estimates to people who do not understand jade, and this is also an unwritten rule in the industry. If there is a big difference between the estimated price and the purchase price, the person buying the jade will definitely feel unhappy. People in the industry can help collectors to identify and appraise items, but the appraisal must be done according to confidentiality rules. It is important to understand the integrity, vision, and level of the appraiser. The biggest taboo in the jade circle is to inquire about other people's costs and comment on other people's prices, but this does not mean that jade prices are opaque. If you know a little about jade and find a few reliable shops to compare, you will find that the prices of jade of the same quality are actually similar and there will not be much deviation.

Jade gambling is actually a high-risk industry. For example, the material the boss buys can be used to make two bracelets. If one is scrapped, the price of the other one will naturally be higher in order to recover the cost. However, if the price exceeds the market price, it may not be sold, and the boss will lose money. It is also possible that you buy a raw stone at a low price and make a nice bracelet out of it. The boss thinks it is good enough to make money, so he sells it to you at a price lower than the market price. He makes a profit and you get a bargain, so you get the best of both worlds.

In the impression of many laymen, the greener the jade, the better, and of course the cheaper it is, the better. That is why some unscrupulous businessmen have emerged to seize the psychology of these users and take pictures that all seem to be fairy-like. Little do they know that the green and cheap jade in your eyes may just be a few PS pictures. The key is that many newbies like to compare them with these fairy-like pictures. The more they compare, the more entangled they become, and the more they regret. You must believe: there is no free lunch in the world! When you actually buy it from these unscrupulous merchants, you will find that it is not the same thing at all. You may be so shocked that you will lose trust in the entire jade industry.

Therefore, if you like jade, learn more about jade and have a basic understanding of jade. Excluding some unscrupulous businessmen, no matter how the market changes, the truth that you get what you pay for will never change. Friends who do not understand jade may suffer a great loss in order to save a little money, or they may get a bargain and still feel cheated by the seller. Anyway, the final mentality is: your jade industry is so deceptive! This is also the reason why people who don’t understand jade are becoming more and more confused when buying jade.
