Today I want to share with you a recently completed buyback case. The protagonists are four extremely collectible guns.80s iron-cap five stars Moutai.

👨💼 Seller’s background and reasons for sale

The person who contacted us this time was Mr. Deng who lives in Kowloon District. Deng Sheng’s father was engaged in China-Hong Kong trading business in the 1980s and 1990s. He had many social events and collected a lot of fine wine. However, Uncle Deng is already in his seventies this year. After getting a physical examination early in the morning, the doctor repeatedly told him to stop drinking alcohol and pay attention to his health.

Deng Sheng saw Moutai on the wine cabinet in the house with the word "Look" on it, and his father couldn't drink it. So after discussion, the two father and son decided to simply sell the old wine and realize it. They planned to use the money to sign up for a luxury cruise group and the family could travel comfortably. Deng Sheng did a round of research online and compared the reviews and quotations of several buyback companies. Finally, he felt that our "Chunxiang Wine Merchants" was professional enough and had honest quotations, so he contacted us through WhatsApp.

🔍 Identification process: handwritten year imprint

When Deng Sheng first sent a few pictures (the ones you saw above), we recognized these branches at a glance."iron-cap five-star Moutai" from 1987 to 1988.

When we went to the settlement of Deng Sheng's house, we conducted a detailed physical appraisal:

1. capsule with iron-cap: From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Moutai used a red aluminum cover and was commonly known as "iron-cap" in the industry. The aluminum caps of these four bottles of wine have not been damaged, the original seals are still tight, and there are no traces of wine leakage.
2. Condition and labels: The five-star trademark on the front and the back label are well preserved.
3. Special mark: You may notice “1987,” “1988,” and “(Large)” handwritten in black ink on the back of the bottles. Mr. Tang explained with a smile: “My father was afraid he would forget which bottle was from which year, so for convenience he wrote the years directly on the bottles.” This was common among older collectors. Although it slightly affects the appearance, as long as The weight of the wine reaches the standard (that is, it is less volatile), it can still be sold at a very good price.

After weighing, the weights of these four bottles of wine were all above the qualified line, and they were well preserved. We offered a buyback value on the spot that was close to the current market conditions, and Deng Sheng readily agreed and used FPS (FPS) to trade on the spot. Everyone was happy.
