Engaging with Vintage Items (For example BV-33)ビンテージ品との関わり(BV-33を例に)

Aug 5, 2024
2 min read

Last week a friend of mine came to see me.

He began to talk about the unpleasant guy he encountered at the auction.

He had put up a BV-33 for auction.

He doesn’t know who wrote to him, but the guy said,

"Is this real? I was once sold a fake WE618B. There are a lot of fakes out there..."


He said ,

"That's extremely rude. He says the guy was sold a fake, but the basis and circumstances are unclear. It's even more shocking that the guy would make such a ridiculous comment about an auction by someone who has nothing to do with it."


He was angry but also looked astonished.

Still, he is a serious person, so he answered the details. For the sake of fools who have no intention of bidding and other spectators who have no discerning eyes.


I told him,

"These people are the kind of people who think that something is real if someone tells them it's real, and think that something is fake if someone tells them it's fake. In the end, even if they have the real thing, they'll be told it's fake and told to let it go, and they'll sell it cheap, or they'll think the fake is real and spend a lot of money on it. It's better not to sit in the bath with such people."

Because that kind of person would not understand who’s fellow and who is enemy.


先週、友人が私のところに来ました。

彼はオークションで出会った嫌な人のことを話し始めました。彼はオークションにBV-33を出品していました。誰かは分かりませんが、その人は

「これは本物ですか? WE618Bの偽物を掴まされたことがあります。偽物はたくさんあるんですよ…」と書いてきたそうです。

彼は

「非常に失礼です。偽物を売られたと言っているが、根拠も状況も不明です。その買い物とは何の関係もない私の出品について、そんな馬鹿げたコメントをするなんてショックです」

と言いました。

彼は怒っていましたが、驚き呆れたようでもありました。

彼はまじめな人なので、そのコメントに丁寧に答えたのだそうです。入札する気などないことも分かった上で。



このように、見分け方も知らず、経緯も知らず、誰かの言うことを鵜呑みにしていそうな人たちは、本物だと言われれば本物だと思い、偽物と言われれば偽物だと思い込むような人たちです。結局、自分で判断しないので、本物を持っていても偽物と言われて安く手放したり、偽物を本物だと思って大金を使ったりするのです。そういう人たちと一緒にならない、親しくしない方がよいでしょう。

誰が味方で誰が敵かが分からない人達だから。

​​[Important Notice]

Regarding Product Inquiries and Procurement Channels
The products developed and manufactured by our laboratory are entirely handcrafted and individually inspected by a few staffs.

Because we deeply value delivering our products based on a transparent and sincere relationship of trust,

we kindly ask for your cooperation regarding procurement channels .

​

💡 Consult with Us Before Finalizing Channels

If you would like to ask whether it is possible to purchase through a specific dealer you frequently visit,

please feel free to consult with us via email beforehand.
However, if an arrangement or transaction channel is finalized before consulting with us,

and it involves an irresponsible broker,  we may not be able to guarantee proper product delivery or after-sales care.

In such cases, we may respectfully propose switching to a direct transaction, or we may be unable to accept the order.

Please consult with us via email during the planning stage of your purchase.


⚠️ Caution Regarding Non-Recommended and Irresponsible Intermediaries
On the other hand, there are certain intermediaries and unauthorized entities

with whom we cannot recommend dealing and with whom we have no association whatsoever.

Please exercise caution regarding procurement through intermediaries who display the following characteristics:

・Entitles who have not familiarized themselves with our technologies, products, how-to or policies, been never studying,

and are unable to explain them.
・Entities requesting direct shipment to the end customer without receiving the product themselves
・Brokers who accept orders from customers but refuse to handle or inspect the product,

requesting that our laboratory ship it directly to the customer solely to extract middleman margins.
・Entities offering no after-sales support to their own clients,
・Intermediaries who receive payment or margins from customers but completely abandon standard customer service,

such as explaining proper usage or assisting with initial care.
・Entities deflecting all issues or questions entirely to our laboratory
・Intermediaries
who refuse to assist when a question or issue arises between them and the customer,

simply telling the customer to deal with us directly while avoiding any accountability.
 

Our laboratory does not recognize the validity of such irresponsible entities,

and we cannot assume any responsibility for issues arising through these channels.


🎵 Please Share Your Passion for Music and Favorite Artists
Whether you contact us directly or through a trusted introduction,

we highly appreciate it if you could share the musical genres you enjoy and the specific artists you wish to hear in the highest fidelity.
