With Logan Zhu taking the lead, several other people also began to complain about Madden, Diana and others.

Logan Zhu was left aside.

The auctioneer was also left aside, so he simply raised his voice and repeated Logan Zhu's bid of $125 twice.

Still no one participated in bidding, so the auctioneer pointed at Logan Zhu, indicating that he had won the bid.

Without waiting for Logan Zhu to express his greetings, the auctioneer immediately turned to the fourth container.

Logan Zhu was not in a hurry to clean up the things in the container. Instead, he paid the container owner first and then went to the fourth container.

At this time, everyone's attention shifted from the few big guys to the containers.

When the container was opened and everyone's attention was immediately focused on the neatly arranged boxes!

Usually there are good things in such boxes.

The box is new, and no matter what's inside, at least it's new!

The auctioneer looked at the items and became interested. After discussing with the owner of the warehouse, he immediately opened a bidding price of five hundred dollars, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty dollars!

Someone immediately raised the price to six hundred dollars, and then the price went all the way up to one thousand dollars!

Logan Zhu had recovered somewhat by this time, and he opened his third eye again and looked inside the container.

There were twenty or thirty boxes of paper outside, and the boxes in the middle were all brand new printers! Although the boxes at the back were still filled with printing paper, these printers were worth a gamble!

There are at least a dozen!

These things are valuable!

By this time, the bidding price had reached two thousand dollars.

Logan Zhu immediately followed with a bet of $2,100.

Hearing Logan Zhu's voice, several people turned their heads and looked at him.

Logan Zhu smiled:

"I think there should be something good in there?"

Joey laughed and said:

"You can't be illiterate, right? It clearly says paper!"

Logan Zhu smiled and said nothing.

Although Joey said this, he still quoted a price of twenty-three hundred dollars.

Logan Zhu believed that Joey said that just to cover up his tracks!

Those who often hang out in the container treasure hunting circle must have seen cardboard boxes used to pack other things!

But Joey was able to persuade a few people to bid, and when the price reached $2,500, fewer people participated in the bidding.

Madden had already taken a picture of a container, but he was still insisting on it.

"Twenty-seven hundred dollars!" the auctioneer continued to bid.

This is the price offered by Logan Zhu.

"Two thousand eight hundred!" Joey raised his hand again.

At this time, Diana raised her hand.

"Twenty-nine hundred dollars, twenty-nine hundred dollars..."

"Three thousand!" Logan Zhu raised his hand for the last time. No matter whether it succeeded or not, this was all he had.

He expected everyone else to give up.

However, Madden raised his hand again.

Logan Zhu shook his head, turned back to the container next to him. This time, he gave up.

Joey finally bought the container for $5,100.

Logan Zhu began to clean up the things in the container that he had photographed.

But he was thinking about Madden next door and Joey on the other side.

Chances are that both of these guys will make a ton of money.

Those instruments are worth around $15,000, and if there are collector's editions among them, it may be even higher.

Not to mention the printing paper, the dozen or so laser printers alone are worth almost $10,000.

Compared to them eating meat, all I can do is drink soup.

Some people outside have already left, while some are still watching the excitement.

Logan Zhu moved the table out and started cleaning up the old clothes.

These old clothes are relatively clean, having been washed. Judging from the styles, they should be popular in the past two years.

Logan Zhu looked through each piece, hoping to find some special ones, and even checked the pockets.

He actually took out a few dozen dollars in change.

And then nothing happened.

Little Joey next to him looked at Logan Zhu's actions and laughed:

"Don't look at it. There are no valuable clothes. This container is obviously used as a warehouse by ordinary people. Now the rent of the container is more valuable than the goods, so they naturally don't want it."

Logan Zhu thought about it and it made sense, but what needed to be cleaned up still had to be cleaned up.

Seeing that Logan Zhu didn't listen to him, Little Joey went to clean up the boxes on his side.

Logan Zhu moved out several boxes of clothes from the container, opened them and put them in an orderly manner, and finally took out the box containing the typewriter.

At this time, a black girl came over and asked Logan Zhu:

"Are you selling these clothes?"

Logan Zhu said hurriedly:

"Sell it!" The girl immediately started talking about the price.

"One hundred dollars, take it all." Logan Zhu simply made an offer.

One hundred dollars, just enough to cover the cost.

The girl looked through the clothes carefully and found that they were all quite clean. She took out a hundred dollars and walked out with the suitcase.

Finally, the girl wanted to pick up the box containing the typewriter, but Logan Zhu hurriedly stopped her:

"These are not clothes, so they don't count as inside."

The girl didn't believe it, so Logan Zhu opened the box.

An old typewriter appeared in front of me.

Seeing the typewriter, the girl was a little disappointed, but she still said thank you to Logan Zhu and turned away.

If these clothes were put on the second-hand market, they could easily be sold for two or three hundred dollars.

Logan Zhu finds it troublesome.

After all, he really doesn't have the time to do this.

The argument between the girl and Logan Zhu attracted the attention of the Joey brothers and Madden.

Brother Joey saw the typewriter and ran over to take a look without even cleaning out his boxes.

"This typewriter looks quite new and well maintained... The box is still original!"

Big Joey said as he took a closer look at the box.

Little Joey looked at the typewriter carefully and said:

"The machine is regularly oiled, and there is no rust on any of its parts. I think it can still be used!"

Logan Zhu pretended to be excited and said:

"Haha! I made money!"

"How about you sell it to me for two thousand dollars?" Big Joey looked at Little Joey, then said to Logan Zhu.

Madden next to him said:

"Why not sell it to me for $2,500?"

Logan Zhu shook his head:

"I think if I give it to John, it'll sell for three thousand dollars!"

Logan Zhu remembered that John once said that the price of a similar typewriter, in the eyes of collectors, was only about three thousand three hundred to three thousand five hundred US dollars for a well-preserved and usable typewriter.

He left some profit margin for the other party.

After all, if there is no profit, the other party will not buy it.

"Okay, I'll buy it for three thousand dollars." Big Joey made the decision immediately.

Logan Zhu looked at Madden, who shrugged and turned away.

"Deal!" Logan Zhu and Big Joey high-fived.

This amount alone is equivalent to one month’s salary for the middle class in China!

interesting!

After receiving the $3,000 in cash, Logan Zhu was about to clean up the remaining garbage. Little Joey didn't leave, but patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Zhu, there is another deal. Do you want to hear it?"
