Nowadays, more and more new mobile phones are launched in the mobile phone market every year, and most consumers will change their mobile phones regularly. So how should we deal with buying new and old mobile phones? Taking the mobile phone for recycling has become the choice of more and more people. The first step in mobile phone recycling is often valuation. If you think the price is appropriate, you can use it to recycle it. However, the quality of recycling platforms on the market is different. The valuation amount of the same mobile phone may be more than 1,000 yuan. The reason is that a few bad platforms use high valuation and low real price to fool consumers.
So how to avoid falling into the valuation trap when recycling your phone?
1. Determine the deduction standards for mobile phone accessories
00. Netizen Xiaowen recently encountered a strange thing. She recently wanted to sell the iPhone 11 that she had used for two years on a second-hand recycling platform, but she did not expect that the valuation difference of this iPhone 11 on two different platforms is more than 1,000 yuan. Why are the valuation of the same mobile phone on different platforms so different?
The reason is that the mobile phone accessories deduction standards of the two platforms are different. In order to seek illegal benefits, a few bad platforms will deduct old mobile phones according to the new mobile phone accessories deduction standards. For example, they will deduct 500 to 600 yuan from rear cameras, while some reliable recycling platforms will deduct 200 to 300 yuan based on the actual price of second-hand cameras. Therefore, when choosing a second-hand mobile phone recycling platform, we must pay attention to the deduction standards for the platform's mobile phone parts.
2. The quality inspection process must be transparent
Users who recycle mobile phones offline probably have this experience. Store owners usually offer a very high recycling price. When users give their mobile phones to them for quality inspection, they will crazily lower the price on the ground for the appearance of the mobile phone to be bumped and painted. Even if your phone looks flawless, they will dump unknown liquid into the mobile phone while you are not careful to reduce the price.
This price-squeezing behavior in the traditional old mobile phone recycling market is caused by opaque mobile phone detection. For example, some professional second-hand recycling platforms such as replacement recycling, they have launched visual inspection methods during the quality inspection of mobile phone digital products. Mobile phone digital products will be recorded throughout the process during the quality inspection, and the recorded video will be uploaded to the cloud for users to check, and the mobile phone quality inspection report is also embedded inside. The test results are open and transparent, fundamentally preventing malicious price suppression.
