Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

"..." The blonde beauty glanced at Owen, somewhat speechless.

Seeing how decisive his offer was, she was momentarily speechless.

Is a price of $2000 a bit too low?

The blonde woman seemed to regret her decision. She picked up the black box and held the Black Widow-shaped brooch in her palm, looking at it from left to right, up to down.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and resolutely handed the brooch to Owen.

"$2000 it is, but I have one condition: it has to be in cash!" Although she knew she might have sold it for less, the blonde beauty nodded because her payday loan was due today.

"OK! No problem!"

Irving immediately took out the receipt, wrote it down, and then counted out $2000 in cash from his pocket and handed it to the blonde woman.

They watched as the other person took the money and left the shop.

Without hesitation, Irving picked up the tablet Marissa had left him, found the contact information, and made a call to get help.

Knowing that the other party would take about 10 minutes to arrive at the store, Irving was not in a hurry and took another careful look at the Black Widow brooch he had just acquired.

Although his intuition told him that the brooch wasn't worth much, based on the information he gathered, Irving rationally felt that the brooch was worth at least around $20,000.

After all, if this item was really designed by the world-renowned jewelry designer Faber, it could fetch at least $20,000 at an auction house.

I hope I haven't made a wrong judgment...

Seven or eight minutes later, a young white man wearing glasses and carrying a black backpack walked in through the door.

Irving initially thought the other person was also there to pawn something, but he was immediately stunned after hearing the other person's self-introduction.

The young white man in front of me turned out to be the jewelry buyer that John Auction House had previously worked with!

"Excuse me, is Mr. John here? Are you his new employee?" The young white man glanced around and, seeing that only Irving was there, cautiously asked.

Irving shook hands with him, gave an awkward smile, and said, "John has sold this pawn shop to me. I'm the new owner. Hello, Mr. Seth, I'm Irving."

The young white man gave an awkward smile. "Hello, Mr. Irving."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Seth quickly spoke up, "Mr. Owen, I heard you acquired a very valuable piece of jewelry? And it was designed by the famous jewelry designer Faber?"

"That's right, it's this brooch." Seeing that the other party took the initiative to speak without any beating around the bush, Owen immediately took out the Black Widow brooch he had just acquired.

The moment Seth, the young white man, saw the Black Widow brooch, his eyes lit up.

"What a find!" Seth put down his backpack, his eyes dazzled as he pulled out white gloves and a high-powered magnifying glass, carefully picking up the Black Widow brooch to examine it.

His professional demeanor instantly dispelled any doubts Irving had about his professional abilities.

After observing for quite a while, Seth finally spoke, saying as he looked, "That's right! This piece of jewelry is indeed the work of the world-renowned designer Faber! The head is set with a giant gemstone, the silver metal joints are made of platinum, the feet are set with sapphires, and the eyes are set with extremely rare pink diamonds..."

Seth became increasingly excited as he spoke, a slight thrill creeping into his voice. "Although Faber designed quite a few pieces of jewelry, this one is fortunate to be in such good condition and relatively well-preserved. Even now, it's practically brand new. I love it! How much do you want to sell it for?"

"$100000!"

Without saying a word, Irving immediately gave a price, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it had to be exaggerated a bit! At least leave room for negotiation later.

Although he has only recently entered the auction business, Irving has already mastered the basics of bargaining.

As expected, Seth was stunned and bewildered by the offer.

How much? 10?!

Although this brooch was indeed designed by Faber, and is incredibly luxurious.

But $10 is too high a price.

Do you think jewelry acquisition is a game?

You can haggle freely...

Seth's lips twitched, he scratched his head, took a deep breath and explained, "Hey, buddy, your offer is way too high. Although this brooch was designed by Fabre and made by a famous Russian jewelry company, making it quite valuable, it doesn't have much collectible value. It wasn't worn or collected by any celebrity. The auction price is probably only around $20000."

"How about this, since this is our first time working together, to show my sincerity, I'll offer $2 for the acquisition. What do you think?"

"If that doesn't work, then forget it. You can look for other people, but I can guarantee that their prices won't be as competitive as mine."

Although he looks very young, Seth has a keen eye for buying things, wields the Dragon Slayer Sword with great skill, and offers very precise prices.

Irving stared at him speechlessly.

To be honest, he hadn't expected that the price Seth offered would be so precisely in line with his judgment.

Irving was certain that the young white man in front of him would make almost double his profit by buying the Black Widow brooch and reselling it.

But considering he'd already made a considerable amount—a mere tenfold profit—Irving sighed. "Fine, I'll take the loss, but I want cash or a cashier's check!"

"No problem!" Seeing Irving agree, Syston's face lit up with joy.

He immediately took out his checkbook from his black backpack, wrote a cash check for $2, and handed it to Irving.

After exchanging money for goods, Seth eagerly took out a white towel from his backpack and began wiping his Black Widow brooch.

Although he already owned it, Seth liked the brooch more and more the more he looked at it.

Seeing Irving humming a tune and cheerfully putting the $20,000 cash check into the safe and locking it, Seth casually asked, "Hey buddy, looks like you made a good profit from that brooch, huh? Can you tell me how much you bought it for?"

"It's alright," Irving said casually. "I spent a full $2000 on this Black Widow brooch from a blonde beauty."

"……"How many?

Two thousand? US dollars?!

real or fake?

You paid two thousand dollars, and now you're asking for one hundred thousand!

What a swindler!

Seth was speechless.

You bastards! When it comes to being heartless, I can't compare to you pawnshop owners.

However, Seth was only grumbling verbally.

In reality, if he were actually at a pawnshop, he probably wouldn't have found such a great bargain.

After all, pawnshops rely on personal connections, so it's normal to have both profits and losses.
