QUOTE(kkk8787 @ Mar 19 2017, 09:14 AM) Wanna hear something funny. My grandfather's house ha d alot of old stuff. One of the few was those old grandfather clock which u need to wind. Lasted I think 60 or 70 years d in the house. Some antiaue collector came and offer to buy him a brand new shiny battery clock so he exchanged. Therr was this green colour ceramic vase with dragon embossed on it. Made in china one. He bought when he was younger, I think 1913 or 1914, the fella bought for rm15. Gosh all the antiques he sold for cheap. Grrrr....i feel like the fella cheated him only people old liao, no patience to wind it everytime, people wanna offer problem free clock that just need change battery once a while, why not at least no need go shopping mall buy himself? he don't need money, keep the old clock also no use, also 60-70 years, anyone also feel bored about it. think from different perspective. there was a wooden coo-coo clock, when alarm time the bird or chicken will come out few times, that one also quite old, but also 1 time go back see no more liao replace with normal round clock. |

QUOTE(kkk8787 @ Mar 19 2017, 11:37 AM) i feel heartache coz few of those were 100 years old. I'm sure its freaking valuable. Wanna sell is normal but not go exchange with battery one which is worth few tens of ringgit la. Some more the vase he sold off 100 years at least from my great grandfather generation one got 2 dragons on it, down there got some chop or something, sold off for rm15 aiyo so what? you never asked to buy it. the vase has been there for lifetime, he old liao don't really care, you offer rm15 clear the house for him consider a bonus. the vase was probably bought for rm5 last time. people old liao, don't have energy to dust all these useless old stuffs. too bad the guy whom bought the clock & vase only bought the clock & vase where he could have bough other old stuffs too. so any other old stuff still there? |

QUOTE(kkk8787 @ Mar 19 2017, 12:41 PM) mostly sold off d i guess. Nola I think he himself doesnt value it too. Speaking about which my dad is still keeping some bank notes n british coins when we were under them guess it is worth more now well he don't need the money and he don't see you guys wanting them, so why not? it's not about the money or value. people want it, why not? |
