Second-hand appliance recycling transaction to be perfected

China has entered the peak period of consumer electronics scrapping. The number of new generations of home appliances will be very large in the future, and the annual output will exceed 160 million units. Most of the home appliances that have been replaced have flown to the second-hand home appliance market. Therefore, some over-age service and degraded home appliances are commonplace in the used home appliance market, and there are even old-fashioned black-and-white TV sales.

In view of this, there are different opinions from inside and outside the industry. According to the “Explanatory Draft” issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the source management of old electrical and electronic products including televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and microcomputers, etc. Product quality conditions and after-sales service are detailed.

At the same time, the "opinion draft" also mentioned for the first time the issue of warranty on old electrical and electronic products, and stipulated that old electrical and electronic product operators should issue sales vouchers or invoices to buyers after the transaction was reached, and should provide no less than 3 months Warranty services, unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the transaction. In addition, it also stipulates that the old electrical and electronic products are still within the warranty period of the Three Guarantees, and they shall perform the Three Guarantees responsibilities in accordance with relevant regulations.

To this end, we also interviewed many users of Wanwei, let us also listen to some of the views of second-hand home appliances. Some netizens said: “Recycling of household appliances is generally the selection of private home appliance recycling points around the community, and it is generally riding guerrillas on flatbed cars. Old appliances can’t sell a few dollars, and they also take up home at home.” There are also netizens saying: “The color TVs and refrigerators bought at home are all old models 10 years ago. When they bought them, the prices were not cheap. If there were no problems with home appliances, they would first use them, and if they did, they would be replaced with new ones.”

From the survey feedback, we can easily see that some people have a mentality of buying home appliances. At present, the second-hand appliance market is still in an unregulated vacuum period. Selling second-hand home appliances or buying second-hand home appliances cannot guarantee the quality and safety of home appliances. At that time, with the introduction of policies, the home appliance industry spring is coming.
