Because it can be profitable.

The accounting explanation of trade-in means that the seller recovers the same old goods as the sold goods at the same time. Business participants are buyers and sellers, and the goods traded are similar goods. Its essence is mainly to stimulate the enthusiasm of buyers for subsequent purchases and eliminate the sales obstacles formed by secondhand goods. Not all jewels can be exchanged for new ones. At present, we only provide trade-in services for silver, gold, platinum, diamonds and K gold.

Before the sale, trade-in is conducive to attracting consumers to buy, which is a value-added service; After sale, consumers change old jewelry into new jewelry, which just promotes the sales of new products.

So how do businesses make a profit? Trade-in service mainly lies in novelty, and profits are obtained by selling new products. We know that merchants will set a series of conditions and charge various fees when exchanging old ones for new ones.

First, the new jewelry is bigger than the old one. For example, gold jewelry needs 25% more new jewelry than old jewelry. The earrings you bought for the first time were 2 grams. When trading in old jewelry for the second time, you need to buy 2 *1.25 *1.25 = 3.125g jewelry. The price difference is more than 300.

Second, charge depreciation fees. Different kinds of jewelry have different depreciation charges. If your gold bracelet weighs 20 grams, the depreciation charge for gold is 30 yuan, and the depreciation charge you have to pay is 600 yuan.

Third, charge manual fees. The manual fee is calculated according to the total grams of new jewelry, and different manual fees are charged according to the complexity of materials and patterns. Take the gold necklace as an example, the general manual cost is around 30 yuan, and the manual cost of more complex patterns is higher.

Sometimes, the loss rate is deducted. Whether gold or silver is taken for a long time, there will be some wear and tear, and the number of grams will decrease. Generally speaking, it costs a lot to change a new piece of jewelry, and of course, businesses also profit from it. For consumers, we should pay attention to all kinds of fees charged by merchants when exchanging old ones for new ones, and even some merchants will shoddy them. We should keep our eyes open.
