As an employee of antique auctions, I've witnessed some collectors being cheated. These collectors were often deceived by scammers to auction or buy their own collections, but in fact, these collections were not real cultural relics or antiques. One of the most common scams is when a scammer company claims to provide auction or acquisition services for cultural relics or antiques, but in fact, they just rent some illegal sellers and take their collections to the market to sell. These sellers usually did not have any professional knowledge of antiques or artifacts, nor did they know if their collections were truly valuable. Another common scam is that a scammer company claims to be able to provide an appraisal service for cultural relics or antiques, but in fact, they just find some appraisers with no professional knowledge and experience and sell their appraisal results on the market. These appraisers usually did not have any professional knowledge of cultural relics or antiques, nor did they know if their appraisal results were true or reliable. If collectors want to buy cultural relics or antiques, they must be vigilant and not trust some unreliable companies or individuals. It is best to purchase through legal institutions or companies and ensure that you have enough knowledge and experience to evaluate the value of the collection.
Antique collectors generally referred to those who owned a large number of ancient artifacts and artworks. They usually did not collect these artifacts through museum or other official channels, but through private transactions or purchases. This kind of collection method often had the characteristics of high risk and high return, so antique collectors enjoyed a high reputation in the industry. In some novels, the image of antique collectors was often portrayed as rich, shrewd, and witty characters. They usually used their wealth and knowledge to find precious cultural relics and works of art.
There were many formal antique and cultural relics acquisition companies in the country. The following were a few of them: 1 China Cultural Relics Collection Association: This association is the only social organization in mainland China that is committed to the protection and inheritance of cultural relics. The cultural relics auction companies under it include China Cultural Relics Auction Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhongpai International Auction Co., Ltd., etc. The Palace Museum: The Palace Museum is one of the most famous museum in China. It has a rich collection of cultural relics, including many porcelain, paintings, and jade articles from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Auction house: Auction house refers to a professional organization specializing in the auction of cultural relics and artworks. There are many well-known auction houses in China, such as the China Auction Industry Association and the Beijing City Auction Industry Association. 4. Shanghai Museum: The Shanghai Museum is one of the most representative museum in China. Its collection of cultural relics covers many periods from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including many ancient Chinese porcelain, calligraphy, painting, jade, etc. The auction company under the Shanghai Museum was Shanghai Auction Co., Ltd. It should be noted that the reliability and credibility of the antique and cultural relics acquisition company needs to be considered. It is recommended to conduct sufficient investigation and understanding during the selection to ensure the safety and legitimacy of the transaction.

Yes, the book " Treasure Hunters " described the story of an apprentice in an antique shop, Yang Fan. After he obtained an Eyesight Talisman, he started his career as an appraiser.
Most of the antique sales nowadays would charge a certain amount of upfront operating fees and unsold fees. These fees were to ensure that the transaction would proceed normally and prevent the seller or buyer from withdrawing from the transaction because they could not pay the fees. When buying antiques, if the original item was returned, the corresponding fee would also have to be paid. It depends on the agreement between the seller and the buyer, but usually, returning the original requires a certain amount of shipping and handling fees. If you want to buy antiques, it's best to understand the relevant transaction costs and be sure that you can afford these costs. It's best to communicate with the seller or buyer before buying to understand the specific transaction rules and fee structure.
In the 'collector novel', the main character is probably the collector. This person drives the plot with their collecting behavior. There could be other characters such as the ones who are the objects of collection, perhaps unwillingly. And there may be characters who are on a mission to uncover the secrets behind the collector's actions, like a detective - like figure or a concerned family member.
Obviously, the Collector is one of the main characters. There might also be characters from the original work that the Collector interacts with. For example, if it's related to a certain franchise, characters from that franchise could be in it. Maybe there are also original characters created specifically for the fanfiction to interact with the Collector.
I don't know the main characters in 'the auction fanfic' as we have so little information. It could be original characters created by the fanfic writer, or it could feature well - known characters from a particular franchise if it's a fanfic related to that.
