Many friends say that they want to sell their second-hand mobile phones, but they can't find a reliable mobile phone recycling channel. Indeed, there are various professional and non-professional players in the second-hand mobile phone recycling market, and the industry standards are not unified. Most sellers can only sell second-hand mobile phones based on experience. For a novice who has never sold a second-hand mobile phone and does not know how to recycle mobile phones, there are too many routines and it is easy to fall into the trap designed by mobile phone recycling companies.
In order to prevent readers who sell their mobile phones from falling into the merchant's routine, after visiting the second-hand mobile phone market, the editor of Change Recycling discovered two major traps in the mobile phone recycling industry, which is now recorded as follows. I hope to give some reminders to friends who want to sell their mobile phones to avoid falling into the pit.
1. Recycling mobile phones requires understanding common methods of price reduction
The second-hand mobile phone recycling market is very common and the most shameful thing is price reduction. Basically, recycling stores that "recycle old mobile phones at high prices" will be lowered. And most of the time, the price reduction is not because there is a problem with your phone itself, but because the store owner secretly tampers with the problem when disassembling the machine and inspecting the quality of the machine, making your machine seem to have various problems, and then take the opportunity to lower the price.
For example, if you disassemble your phone and deliberately do not install some parts, it is said that the phone has a problem if it cannot be turned on;
When you are not careful, break the metal plate of the phone battery, and the positive and negative electrodes cannot be connected, the phone is a brick;
Or you may directly replace a cheaper motherboard for you, saying that it is not the original machine, and if you don’t sell it, your phone motherboard will be replaced by the merchant with worse performance and cheaper motherboard.
So, before selling second-hand mobile phones, you must know these tricks of the merchants to avoid being cheated, and the selling price may be high.
2. Recycling mobile phone privacy data must be completely cleared
The machine that has been used for two or three years has stored a large amount of our personal information. Our photos, logged in accounts and passwords, websites we browse, and other privacy data are all on our mobile phones. Some people with security awareness may say that before taking it to the mobile phone store, the photos and personal data inside have been deleted and the factory settings have been restored, so there should be no problem. It is true that for ordinary people, you cannot get your data by doing this, but for some criminals who specialize in stealing privacy data, if the data is not completely erased, it is easy to get the privacy data you deleted. Many people’s privacy is leaked through second-hand mobile phones.
Then how can it be clear and thorough? After we delete data and restore factory settings, we will fill in some irrelevant high-definition movies, pictures or large files into our phone, fill in the phone space, and then delete it completely. Repeat this twice or three times, even if the data is restored, these data does not involve personal privacy.
Of course, in addition to price reduction methods and privacy data leakage issues, the second-hand recycling industry also has many routines. But I have to say that these two are the most important and easiest places to be overlooked by everyone. I hope everyone pays attention.
