At present, the replacement of household appliances and furniture is very fast, and these second-hand goods have also formed a huge market. At one end of this market, there are many second-hand goods that are expected to be disposed of, and at the other end, there are consumers who have demand for second-hand goods. It is not a simple matter to connect these two ends smoothly and let the second-hand goods circulate reasonably.
In the same period: three yuan a edition, three yuan a edition, whoever buys it is suitable.
This lively market is the "ghost market" of Xiguan Avenue. The secondhand goods stalls, large and small, stretch for nearly 500 meters, and the things sold by vendors are dazzling. Three yuan batteries, two yuan lunch boxes and four or five yuan bicycle belts can all be found here.
(Interview) Citizen: This is my bike. It doesn't cost much to buy a broken lock. ) 5 yuan, (How much does it cost to buy outside? ) 10.
(Interview) Citizen: I lost my charger. I'm here to buy. It's thirty or twenty outside. 1you can buy it in 0 yuan.
Things are rich and cheap, and there are indeed many people who come here to find second-hand goods. People who come here often tell us that there used to be many kinds of goods here, including large-scale goods such as second-hand electrical appliances, but later, there are fewer and fewer large-scale goods sold. Why?
(Interview) Citizen: I don't buy big items here, but it's ok to buy small items here.
(Interview) Citizen: (Will you buy second-hand household appliances here? ) no, (why? ) because there is no guarantee.
(Interview) Citizen: (Will you buy home appliances here? ) no, (why? ) I'm afraid it's fake for them to take it back.
(Interview) Vendor: Glasses boxes one by one. Where's the watch? The most expensive 20 yuan. (Is the quality guaranteed? ) Can the quality of 20 yuan be guaranteed?
People are still worried about quality when buying things in such a ghost market. It doesn't matter if small items are cheap, but large items are naturally cautious. Without demand, vendors rarely sell home appliances in ghost markets. Where can I buy such a big commodity as second-hand household appliances? Just last month, a formal second-hand goods trading market was opened near Zhongshan Gate in Hedong District. It not only provides a booth for citizens to trade second-hand goods for free, but also sells second-hand household appliances. The most important thing is that the quality of second-hand home appliances bought here is guaranteed.
(Interview) Yuan Tianjin Taobao Foreign Trade Clothing Market Co., Ltd. General Manager: Our home appliances are guaranteed for six months, and we will repair the big ones. We bind the merchants and have a deposit of 1000 yuan. They won't compensate us.
Second-hand home appliances have a warranty, and naturally more people buy them.
(Interview) Consumer: (How much did you spend on this refrigerator? ) 480, I think it's ok. He said there would be insurance for half a month, and if he couldn't come back, he could repair it.
(Interview) Consumer: This can be said to be brand new. How much is it? ) 7800, (How much is brand new? ) Brand-new I went to Suning Appliance and asked 1500. Its quality is guaranteed for six months, and he will solve any problems. It has some to exchange.
(Interview) Dealer: I just sold a refrigerator and two air conditioners.
(Interview) Second-hand merchant: I sold two freezers and two refrigerators today, and now the turnover is 2000 yuan.
There are more than 300 stalls in Zhongshan Gate, a flea market. Except for some booths, which are open to the public free of charge, others are long-term rented booths. Although a 18 square meter booth needs to pay a monthly rent of about 1000 yuan, it attracts many operators because of its booming business.
(Interview) Yuan, general manager of Tianjin Taobao Foreign Trade Clothing Market Co., Ltd.: Now only a part has come in, and dozens of households have not come in. We are still actively operating.
In fact, the small flea market does contain a lot of business opportunities. We also know that in addition to the flea market just now, every district in the city will build its own flea market this year. But this flea market is easy to set up and operate, and it can solve the problem not only with quality assurance.
Wang has been in a thrift store for 10 years. In recent years, he has really made a lot of money by dumping second-hand goods. He admits that the second-hand goods business is actually very knowledgeable, first of all in valuation.
Vintage dealer: We collect the goods at home, and the price needs to be discussed by two people. There is no fixed standard, and the price is based on the appearance.
The lack of valuation standards is actually a major flaw in the second-hand goods industry. For experienced merchants, it may not be a loss, but for ordinary consumers, there is much to say.
(Interview) Citizen: Move home and deal with it once. What's the price? ) Let him reward you and give you as much as he says.
(Interview) Citizen: If the old household appliances can't be sold, we will give them away. What are you doing?
(Interview) Citizen: Everyone in the family collects old appliances at the door, but at home. How much do they usually pay? ) Not much, tens of dollars.
(Interview) Hao Maishou, a professor at Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences: At the time of sale, the people were at a disadvantage and in a decisive position.
This old thing may be sixty to seventy percent new, but it may not be worth three melons and two dates. The price system is immature, the buyer is immature and the seller is unclear. Even if the guide price is set, I don't know where to set it. I advocate that your second-hand goods keep invoices, and most of the new ones are testified by invoices.
Professor Hao Maishou also said that there is no fixed standard for the valuation of second-hand goods, partly because of the lack of formal recycling channels. The reporter learned that the recycling system of the second-hand goods market is now spontaneously formed. Second-hand goods merchants generally buy their own goods. Merchants who have been doing it for a long time will leave their mobile phones in some communities, and residents will call the merchants when they have second-hand goods. Some of them were bought by merchants themselves after they saw the news of selling second-hand goods in the newspaper.
(Interview) Second-hand merchants: We will accept them when they call.
This method involves a lot of energy of the merchants, but the merchants are also very helpless, because there is no acquisition unit specifically for the Tianjin flea market.
(Interview) Hao Maishou, a professor at Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences: There should be several companies gathering in the (second-hand market). Its task is to obtain. For example, if you play the banner of Nankai second-hand market recycling company, I am credible, not a stray soldier, so we trust it and the price is reasonable.
There are not only buyers and sellers in a healthy market, but for the second-hand market, it is the most critical to build a network from recycling to sales, improve the price evaluation system and after-sales service. But these are far more complicated than building one or two markets.
