Wilbur stayed at the seas for a long period of time, and he was a cultivator with keen senses. Wilbur could smell the scent of the sea from any item fished out of the sea within a month.
However, the collectibles here did not smell of the sea. Wilbur realized that no collectible in the disy area was recovered from the sea, which proved that Haron was a cautious person.
A month was not a short period of time. Other people would have sold them after
a few days in exchange for money, then go and enjoy themselves. Those who were patient would only hold on for a week or two. No one could resist the temptation of money aside from cultivators, after all.
Most ordinary people would not resist the temptation of material wealth. Wilbur was surprised that Haron was able to hold himself back for a month, or perhaps several months. It seemed like getting a lead from him was not going to be an easy task.
Molton suddenly said, "I can tell you''re an expert, sir. Feel free to choose the collectibles here. I can give you a discount if you like. Pleasee again next time."
Wilbur smirked when he heard Molton. He sounded like he was also from Dasha, after all, so Wilbur had to ask, "A lot of people from Dashae here to buy collectibles, right?"
Molton was taken aback, he replied, "How did you know? That''s precisely the case."
"It''s not that I know that. You sounded exactly like us, so I assumed you traded with a lot of people from Dasha. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have picked up the ent."
"That''s true. It looks like nothing gets past you," Molton jested. Wilbur almost believed Molton to be a nice guy if he did not try to instigate Haron''s rtionship with Kearson.
ording to Dasha''s standard, Molton was a sneaky merchant at best. He could not trust someone like that. Wilbur chose two jade collectibles worth around fifty thousand dors to establish a good rtionship with Molton. After making payment, he said, "My friend sells jade collectibles for a living. If you have nice ancient jades, I think we can continue to do business together."
"Huh?"
Molton was taken aback. There were not a lot of Dasha merchants who were in Rostead, after all. Most Dashans here were ordinary tourists.
Selling collectibles was not a great industry to be in because of the wildly fluctuating market. Collectibles had their prices, and the people who liked to collect had their budgets. There were also a lot of uncertain factors involved, so most coborations fell through in the end.
Moreover, collectibles were not necessities, so there was not a lot of demand. It was precisely the reason why Rostead was known as the nation of collectibles with the lowest price. A collectible worth a million dors could be bought for eight hundred thousand dors in Rostead.
However, it was a small market with very few customers. Different collectibles had different target audiences too. Therefore, it was not an easy supply chain to be developed.
Rondar did not have many long-term customers. Although Molton could gain a few hundred thousand dors, sometimes he would only make a few hundred dors a month.
Molton was instantly intrigued to hear that Wilbur had a friend in the jade collectible business. He responded excitedly, "Really? That would be great!"
