Austin is a mobile phone enthusiast. He collects some special mobile phones, such as some old Ericsson mobile phones. Many people think that things like mobile phones are updated too quickly and have no collection value at all. However, in the eyes of Austin and others, many mobile phones were of epoch-making significance and could be called an alternative "antique".
Austin is in Shanghai, but it is the first time to exchange mobile phones with others online, and the other party is in Shenzhen. Austin's T39 didn't last long, so it's relatively new. And he took a fancy to the other's 2520, mainly because that mobile phone has never been sold in Chinese mainland, and it is also Ericsson's first mobile phone with Bluetooth. The software operation of the two mobile phones is the same, even the batteries are the same. The T39 in Austin will be a little more expensive than the market price of 2520. After an online exchange, both sides felt very satisfied. So I chose to express my mobile phone to the other party on the same day. The postage here in Austin is 20 yuan. Because everyone's accessories are interoperable, only the mobile phone has been changed, and other accessories, including the battery, have not been changed. After receiving the other party's mobile phone, Austin felt quite satisfied. Basically the same as what you see in photos and videos, there is no defect that the other party did not explain in advance. According to the requirements of the website, two people * * * posted a transaction supervision post, indicating that the two sides exchanged goods successfully and were satisfied with each other. After that, the website added personal credit points to both of them.
After the successful communication, Austin and the other party joined a group because everyone is a fan of Ericsson's mobile phone. The two occasionally communicate in groups, but chatting privately is not common. Austin said that everyone is still at the level of communication and there is no need to be friends. After this exchange, Austin also changed a Siemens mobile phone. Compared with other items, mobile phones are more handy for Austin to exchange, and it is also because there will be more such idle items. Austin also tried to exchange his own mooncake coupons with other people on the Internet for mooncake coupons of his favorite brand, but in the end he could not exchange them because he could not negotiate the discount point.
Austin's Successful Barter Experience
1. Second-hand mobile phones are relatively easy to redeem successfully, and the value is not very low, so the courier fee in 20 yuan is still well spent; Its value is not too high, even if there is a loss, it will not be too painful;
For an out-of-town communication like Austin, there are certain risks, so online communication is very important. Austin chatted with each other some very professional questions on the Internet, and the other party could answer them quickly, so Austin believed that the other party was a pure mobile phone enthusiast.
3. Exchanging second-hand mobile phones, accessories are the key, especially batteries. Because the two mobile phones use the same battery, battery replacement is avoided and possible potential risks are avoided;
4. Personal credit score plays an important role in the exchange. Before the exchange, Austin noticed that the other party's credit score was higher than his own, so this was one of the important reasons why he was relieved to exchange. Quasi-exchange: Fion
Exchange items: clothes and accessories.
Exchange items: clothes, ornaments.
Two cities: Guangzhou-Shanghai
Exchange method: mail.
Exchange website: Taobao.
Number of exchanges: two or three times
Exchange result: failed.
Fion is called a "quasi-customer exchange" because although she has tried to exchange goods with others on the Internet two or three times so far, she has never succeeded in one exchange. However, Fion thinks this barter method is still very good, which can make a lot of idle items get proper use. So she insisted on looking for her exchange partner.
What Fion wants to exchange is clothes, and I believe there are many such things in every girl's closet. I bought it happily for a while, but I didn't wear it once. It's a shame to keep it and throw it away. Instead of selling it without bidding, it is better to change something useful to yourself.
Fion put all these items on the website, and The Post said that "barter is acceptable". There are indeed many people who are willing to barter with Huang Jinwen, but most of her favorite price tags are very expensive. She needs to take out three or four of her own items in exchange for one of others' items. I finally took a fancy to a Shanghai girl's things, but because everyone's goods are relatively low in value and need to spend more expensive postage than the goods, I think it's better to buy new ones. So I still can't seem to change it.
On the other hand, Fion still has many doubts about barter transactions between different cities. There are many things that can't be seen in the picture. I don't know if there is a thread in the clothes, and I don't know if there is a hole in the back. If you encounter dishonest "customer communication", I am afraid you will only be fooled. Even if it is a video, there will be no other risks. Such doubts determine that valuable things cannot be exchanged, but it is not cost-effective to exchange cheap things for higher postage. Therefore, Fion is still not sure whether he has a chance to be a real "exchange guest".
On Fion s failed barter experience;
1. The prices of both goods are too low, but the mailing cost is relatively high, so it is better to buy a new one;
2. The scales of the two sides' value measurement are not the same, and the price offered by others for the same thing often feels worthless;
3. Worried about quality and other issues. I tried to buy things online and found that the size, style and color were all right, but they were not as good as those in the photos. The same problem exists in barter. On Children's Day, 2006, 24-year-old "Avboys200 1" posted a barter message with the content of "exchanging memories" on the Internet, and listed some toys of his childhood, hoping to share those lost childhood with more friends in this way. Soon, this message received many replies from "visitors". After talking and screening, "Avboys200 1" was attracted by the exchange conditions of six "visitors" and reached a deal in exchange for strange lollipops, robot cats, twisted eggs toys and even two tickets for children's dramas. ...
