Chapter 547 Signature Memorabilia (2/2)
The basketballs, footballs, and baseballs had collected the signatures of the strongest stars over the past 20 years. They were collected in the order of the most important matches of all time—they had a lot of value.
Hans personally led the team to clear up the unit and kept shouting, ”Be careful, be careful, be gentle with the machine. For God's sake, secure the balls first before moving them.”
The tourists had been looking around for Hans. When they saw him giving the instructions for moving the items, they asked, ”What you are doing? Sunbae-nim? Will you help us clear our units?”
Hans did not have the time to help them clear their units. And even if he did have the time, it would be impossible for him to help due to his laziness.
Therefore, after listening to the visitors, he replied impatiently, ”Why do you need to clear up the unit? It's just a pile of rubbish.”
The tourists were shocked to hear that. ”What do you mean? That's not what you said earlier.”
Lu Guan stepped forward and pointed to Li Du. ”All of you see that man? That Chinaman, he's our boss. Just now you insulted our boss, so we punished you.”
The tourists were petrified by the news. One of them shouted, ”We've been scammed?!”
Lu Guan waved his hands in disapproval. ”Not really, just that the value of your units ain't as high as you thought. If you are able to sell those items, you can get back your cost.”
That was true, but that was only if all the items could be sold.
The tourists dared not hurl abuses at them. The tour guide had told them that Hans was a local and had connections—this type of person shouldn't be trifled with.
They could only hold back their grievances and go back to clean up their units. However, without anyone to teach or advise them, how were they going to clear up the items inside?
The tour guide was also unable to help them out. Moreover, there really wasn't anything valuable or easy to deal with in the units.
At this time, the local treasure hunters made their move. They gathered around the tourists to negotiate with them:
”How about reselling the unit to me? I'll take care of the contents inside.”
”This unit is worthless, and it's a time-consuming process to clear everything out. Why not sell it to me?”
”I'll help you clear the unit. But you have to pay me a fee.”
The tourists did not have other options. They tried to clear their units for a while and were now feeling tired, dirty and bored. This experience was much different from when they had attended the auction, which had been very interesting to them.
Therefore, after being approached and pestered by the treasure hunters, the tourists asked, ”How much will you pay for the unit?”
”How about 100 dollars?”
”Dream on!” The tourist got angry. ”I spent 800 dollars to get it!”
”In actual fact, this unit is only worth 100 dollars,” said the treasure hunter bluntly. ”You spent 800 dollars because you're an idiot—you were fooled!”
The tourists could only stare at the impolite treasure hunters. They didn't dare become upset. Hans was a local and had connections, no doubt. These people were locals with connections too!
The tour guide tried to persuade the tourists as well. ”Forget it, ladies and gentlemen, let's get rid of them. We're going to a Native American reservation tomorrow. You won't have time to clear all this trash.”
”They're just a bunch of trash units.” The treasure hunters stressed their point again.
The tourists could only get rid of the units with a much lower price. After all, they had no other way out. If they could recover 100 dollars, then so be it.
