How to buy second-hand household appliances is more cost-effective?

Many friends who work outside believe that, like me, they want to buy new home appliances and are worried about moving and wasting. After all, recycling is not worth a few dollars, so buying second-hand household appliances has become the first choice of many people, but they are also worried about being cheated. It is also a waste of money to buy products with poor quality. Let's share some of my experiences and methods for your reference ~

First, the second-hand platform

Second, the local second-hand market.

Third, make use of the resources around you.

Many people have used the second-hand platform, so you can cut it at a low price!

First, the second-hand platform

This channel is my most commonly used, including buying home appliances on it. Bought a second-hand small refrigerator on it. The original price was 899, and the seller only used it for 2 months. Finally, I bargained for 480, and I won, which felt quite affordable.

There are many second-hand platforms, such as idle fish and turning around. Compare a few before buying, and contact individual sellers to ask about the service life and the old and new degree of household appliances. If you have a purchase record or receipt, you'd better ask the other party to provide it for you to verify. Buying on a second-hand platform can basically reduce the price by 100 yuan. The disadvantage is that you need to mention it yourself. After all, household appliances are heavy, so it is impossible to mail them to you.

Need to meet some sellers who need to move goods quickly, the price can be cut lower! You can screen the areas near the same city, so it is more convenient to bring your own. You'd better find someone to accompany you, especially girls! You must have a sense of prevention.

Remember to look at each other's reputation when trading idle fish. Never trade without authorization or have a bad reputation! Click on the other person's head to see the credit.

Second, the local second-hand market.

Many places have second-hand shops or markets, which specialize in selling some second-hand items, especially household items, so that you can see the real thing and shop around. You can look at the price of home appliances you want to buy online first, and have a general idea. After all, online stores have all kinds of prices, so don't be cheated.

If you bargain, you can generally bargain by one-third according to the same type of new household appliances. In any case, you can lose tens of dollars. If the distance is not particularly far, the merchant can directly help deliver the goods to your door. This is what I like.

Third, make use of the resources around you.

This method is practical, but you need to take a chance. You need someone willing to sell the goods you need. The biggest advantage is that the chance of stepping on thunder is very small. The way is to publish a circle of friends, what kind of second-hand household appliances you want to buy, ask friends to help forward them, or ask in the group, maybe others will have channels! Don't underestimate other people's connections, or ask the landlord/property or whether there is a second-hand group near the mother group.

Generally, people nearby can basically find good things, especially acquaintances, because there is little difference in living environment, economic level and aesthetics, and they can also give you a discount. When people sell things, you can kill two birds with one stone by buying what you like.

Matters needing attention in purchasing second-hand household appliances:

? Pay attention to the approved service life of electrical appliances.

You need to ask the seller to provide the purchase invoice, and determine the production year of the product through the product identification and coding. If some sellers can't provide it, you can look at the information posted on home appliances. Generally speaking, the certificate and production date are affixed to the side or back of the machine.

The safe service life of household appliances is as follows: 8- 10 years for household color TV; Electric water heater for 8 years; Refrigerator 12- 16 years; Rice cookers 10 year; Air conditioning for 8- 10 years; Gas stove for 8 years; Washing machine for 8 years; Hair dryer for 4 years; Microwave oven 10 year; Electric fan 10 years, vacuum cleaner 8 years.

It is generally not recommended to buy more than 3 years, which is prone to problems. At that time, high maintenance fees will put you in a dilemma.

? Is it a refurbished machine?

Refurbishers are usually refurbished because they were originally used or not well preserved, and this kind of household appliances is likely to have a problem with a certain part, or the machine has been used for many years, and the merchants specializing in recycling electrical appliances will sell it at a high price after renovation.

? Purchase certified goods

When shopping online, try to buy goods with resale links, real pictures or pictures of receipts and invoices, which can prove that the seller bought them for his own use. The photos taken can clearly see the details, such as the color, style or internal structure of household appliances. You can also look at the goods before you buy them. Don't shoot them in a hurry.

? Don't buy miscellaneous brands

Don't buy some niche or unheard-of brands, even if the price is cheap, I'm afraid it can still be used normally after buying it today, and the machine will not work the next day, and the quality of miscellaneous brands is uneven.

Personal advice:

Determine your own budget before buying second-hand household appliances.

Online shopping is best to look at the goods first.

Don't think about being cheap, even if it is second-hand. If it is much lower than other models after comparison, it may be a problematic product.
