Among the American gun families, Remington came from a prestigious family. The 700 series was the golden generation of this family.
Remington was founded in 1816, and had a history of nearly 200 years. The first product that made it famous was the 700 series. It was introduced in 1962, and because of its high accuracy and power, it became the weapon of choice for the military, law enforcement, and civilian users.
However, this series of guns did not come out of nowhere. Its design originated from the German Mauser 98 rifle, which was designed to perfection at the end of the 19th century.
Now, this gun was very popular in the market, and there were many models.
Li Du searched online and found that there were many models of Remington 700: the ADL and BDL for civilian use, the DM and 40X, the M24 series for the army, the M40 series for the Marine Corps, and the Remington SR8, AT1-M24, Tac-OpsTango-51, Pro2000HTR, and so on.
In addition, Remington also developed models for police use, such as the 700PSS, 700P, and 700P-DM. These were only a part of the series, and there were more branches.
Li Du was not a gun enthusiast like Liu Jinlong. He could only tell that these guns were civilian models, but he was not sure which model they were.
However, he knew that no matter which model they were, these guns were very valuable, and could be exchanged for at least 20,000 to 30,000 dollars.
Hans had eaten with Zhang Kai before, and he also knew that this storage unit was valuable. Therefore, when he called out the bid, he showed an imposing manner.
The auctioneer shouted, "As usual, the starting price is 100 dollars, 100 dollars, 100 dollars …"
Hans said, "Five hundred dollars!"
This was the first time in this auction that the price had soared. The auctioneer was overjoyed. He pointed at Hans and shouted, "Very good, now there is a bid of 500 dollars, 500 dollars, 500 dollars, then 550 dollars …"
"Yes, 550 dollars," a man with a strange accent nodded.
"Okay, the price is 550 yuan. How about 600 yuan, 600 yuan, 600 yuan …"
"Me!"
The auctioneer continued to call out the price. Hans snapped his fingers and said, "1,000 dollars!"
Some people were tempted, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "1,050 dollars!"
Li Du noticed that there were still quite a number of treasure hunters who were ready to make a move. He stepped forward and said, "We will offer 1,500 dollars. Whoever is willing to offer more will take this storage unit!"
Hearing this, the treasure hunters looked at each other and gave up on bidding for the storage unit.
In their eyes, this storage unit was not worth that much. There were some things inside that could not be sold at such a high price. Besides, Li Du's words seemed to imply that he was trying to shift the blame to someone else, so they did not want to take the risk.
This was the first time Li Du had spoken, and it played a decisive role. In the end, they won the storage unit for 1,500 dollars.
Behind warehouse 54 was warehouse 61. There was some scrap metal and other trash inside.
After the storage unit door was opened, the treasure hunter started to complain, "What is this for? D * mn it, did the garbage station come to the storage company? "
The little bug circled around inside. Li Du saw two things that looked like antique clocks under some iron sheets, and his spirits rose.
In the end, the little bug went over to take a closer look. It was not an antique clock, but two antique bell-shaped copper boxes.
The little bug looked at the structure inside. There were a few small drawers and many springs. The structure was quite complicated, but it was not an antique. There was a nameplate on it, and the date of production was 2001.
In addition, the nameplate also had information about the two large copper boxes. This was an antique cash register.
Li Du looked it up online. There was indeed an introduction to this kind of cash register. It was popular in the early years of the last century. At that time, American stores used this kind of cash register to collect money.
Modern cash registers were powered by electricity. Old cash registers were powered by winding. Like clocks, they were manually wound to store power. When in use, the drawer would spring open with a tap of the switch.
If it was a real old-fashioned cash register, it would be worth a lot. This kind of antique cash register was not very valuable. The price of a new one on Amazon was only 1,500 dollars.
He nodded to Big Beard Carl. Carl understood that it was his turn to show off his power and bid for this storage unit.
Further back was the fishing machine in storage unit 68. Li Du let the little bug fly in, looking forward to this opportunity.
Unfortunately, as soon as the little bug entered the storage unit, he knew it was over. The fishing machine was huge, taking up half the space of the storage unit. It was placed outside openly.
Sure enough, as soon as the door of storage unit 68 opened, the treasure hunters went crazy.
"A fishing machine, this is a fishing machine! Sh * t, this is good stuff! "
"F * ck, it's a Bayer brand. Great, I'm going to get it!" a young man holding a pair of binoculars said excitedly.
"Buddy, how much money did you bring? Let's work together and get this storage unit! "
Hans looked disappointed and sighed, "D * mn, we don't have a chance anymore."
Li Du patted his shoulder and said, "We've already got something. Don't be too greedy."
He did not think much of it, but the Flagstaff treasure hunters were very interested in this fishing machine.
Dickens, Turis, and the others gathered around Li Du. "Let's work together to get this storage unit, and then split the money after selling it."
Li Du said, "It won't be much. We're not fools!"
Dickens said, "I know, but as long as we can make money, it's fine. Even if it's just enough to cover our gas expenses."
Li Du knew why these people had come to him. Storage auctions were not as simple as buying. There was also a "selling" that required more connections and connections.
There was a risk in buying anything. That was, if the item could not be sold, it could end up in the hands of others, or if it could not be sold in a short period of time, resulting in a backlog of funds and the inability to participate in other auctions.
The crowd surrounded Li Du and Hans. They wanted to use the two of them to sell the fishing machine. The connections and connections of the members of the Hundred Thousand Club were much better than theirs.
Li Du reluctantly nodded. The bidding began, and Hans directly threw out a high price. "I'll bid 10,000 dollars. Let's increase the price accordingly!"
This type of fishing machine was installed on a yacht. It had complex functions, including a comfortable recliner, a parasol, a fishing position, a pull sensor, a line reel, and so on.
With the fishing machine, fishing became simple. All one had to do was lie on it and cast the hook. As long as a fish took the bait, the machine would automatically reel it in.
Without a doubt, this fishing machine had been brought to Lake Powell by someone. For some unknown reason, the fishing machine had been left behind.
