Case Background: The client in this case is from West Kowloon. Their elders had collected a large quantity of seafood in their younger years, and they are currently planning to emigrate and are sorting through their assets. Therefore, they contacted us for an appraisal. The client stated that the abalone had been stored for many years but had always been properly preserved in a dry environment.
Expert Appraisal Notes: Based on the physical appraisal by Jin Haisheng's professional team, these dried abalone in the picture are of extremely high quality, belonging to the category of collectible-grade, aged abalone .
-
Appearance: The abalone has a perfect "ingot" shape, with a round waist and thick back, and a symmetrical shape. This is the most typical characteristic of Jipin abalone, which means bringing in wealth and treasures.
-
Color: Over time, the abalone has transformed into a deep amber-gold red color, with a natural luster (patina) on the surface, indicating that it has been aged for a sufficient period of time.
-
Texture: The skirt is delicate and "prickly" to the touch, and the abalone pillow is high. Under the light, the center is translucent, and it is expected to have an excellent "soft-boiled" effect after cooking, with a soft, sticky texture and a rich abalone flavor.
-
Condition: Excellent dryness, no signs of insect infestation or mold, perfect storage condition.
Transaction Process: Due to the extremely high quality of the goods, after an initial quote via WhatsApp, we arranged for a specialist to inspect the goods in person. Upon confirmation that the item matched the photos, we offered a buyback price higher than the market average and completed the transaction immediately in cash. The client highly appreciated Jin Haisheng's professional attitude of not haggling over prices and recognizing the quality of the goods.
Jin Haisheng promises: Whether it's premium dried abalone, net abalone, or hema abalone, as long as it's of high quality, we offer free online valuation and confidential buyback services. If you also have any unused seafood, please feel free to contact us anytime.
