Second-hand home appliance leasing gave birth to black market trading industry chaos exposed supervision weaknesses

Buying a new home appliance usually costs a few thousand dollars, but you can get one or two hundred yuan to rent it. Due to the reason that new home appliances are too expensive and inconvenient to transfer, etc., for migrant workers, students, landlords and other people, renting second-hand home appliances is a comparison. Appropriate practices therefore generate market demand. According to media reports, high-temperature hot consumer second-hand appliance rental market, but due to the lack of appropriate supervision, the industry's unspoken rules to promote the black market transactions of second-hand household appliances, exposing various hidden dangers.

Second-hand appliance rental market virtual fire

It is reported that the current market for rental of home appliances is mainly the flea market and some appliance repair shops, there is no professional home appliance leasing company. In addition, the second-hand home appliance sales network 58 has also become a platform for many citizens to rent and sell used home appliances. As the rental of home appliances are mostly used for many years of second-hand goods or refurbished machines, uneven quality, how many will appear such hidden dangers, consumer rights can not be guaranteed.

It is understood that the irregular use of second-hand home appliances brings many hidden dangers to consumers. First of all, in terms of performance, the appliance may lose some of its performance due to its long usage time, such as unclear television screens, air conditioning, etc. Take the refrigerator, if it is too old, its freshness and bactericidal function will deteriorate, resulting in food can not be kept fresh. Secondly, in terms of security, some “older” or even household appliances that exceed their useful life may suffer from problems such as line aging, circuit short-circuits, and electrical leakage, which in turn may cause safety hazards such as fire, explosion, or even electric shock. Again, healthier, second-hand home appliances are not really "second-hand", some may be "three hands," "four hands," or even "five hands," and home appliances that have been turned to become carriers of bacteria. Such as washing machines, the body will breed, a large number of various bacteria, these bacteria with the appliance everywhere "chained" to the tenants' health problems.

In the course of use, if there is a problem with second-hand household appliances, it cannot be guaranteed, and basically no after-sales service can be said. There is still a lack of uniform standards in the after-sales of second-hand home appliance leasing, which is generally decided by the owner of the shop. There is no official invoice for renting goods. For tenants, the quality is good or bad, you can only take chances.

Market confusion leads to complaints

In order to regulate the second-hand goods market, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China has issued the "General Rules for Identification of Used Goods" and the "Industrial Quality Appraisal of Old Household Appliances" industry standards. "All second-hand home appliances must be certified by the quality supervision department and must be scrapped for scrap home appliances that have passed the useful life. Before the sale of old home appliances, a unified 'tired goods' label must be affixed to obvious locations, and the quality responsibility of the appliances must be indicated; The relevant department's appraisal, testing, or non-sticking of second-hand household appliances related to the logo shall not be allowed to circulate in the market. By then, the old household appliances will be divided into old appliances that can be used normally and waste household appliances that cannot be used. The former can be used as second-hand goods to continue sales and use. The person has lost the use of the function or exceeded the useful life, and there are quality problems.

The Ministry of Commerce intends to “build files” for the sale of second-hand household appliances, which requires second-hand home appliance operators to register seller information when they purchase old home appliances, and to provide buyers with detailed information about old household appliances when selling second-hand home appliances after maintenance and refurbishment. "Second-hand household appliances also have "identity cards," and no "identity card" cannot be listed.

Despite this policy, it has not been implemented. Most of the second-hand household appliances on the market are not labelled as "tired goods" as required, and no detailed information is registered when they are bought and sold. Their "identity" remains unknown. What's more, home appliances that have exceeded their useful lives will be “make-up” before they are released. Within the glamorous appearance, hidden parts and components are hidden. Therefore, they have become the focus and scope of consumer complaints.

In fact, home appliances "renewal" is spawning an industrial chain. Old home appliance sellers, sales companies, recycling companies, etc., are driven by interests. They know that standards are being implemented, and that supervision is not in place, causing second-hand home appliances "scandals" to be repeated. The second-hand home appliance market is chaotic.

Profit-driven

A few days ago, the phenomenon of borrowing the name of old household appliances on the Internet and selling the “renewal of old” certificate was evaded. Some online stores are selling old appliances on the surface, but they actually sell the “renewal” certificates for home appliances.

It is understood that some people buy old home appliances from the citizens and sell them to a regular recycling station in return for a subsidy certificate, and then sell it on the Internet. Consumers use online shopping vouchers to enjoy preferential policies that are not their own, while sales companies and recycling companies are tempted to take advantage of the temptation to take advantage of financial subsidies. A gray interest chain formed.

It is reported that to handle the “renewal of old” credentials, the details of the old appliances must be entered into the system, and to obtain a “new trade” subsidy, the old appliances must be sent to the relevant dismantling company. Since there are such strict conditions, how can sellers be able to sell themselves online?

First, drill loopholes in supervision. Although the State has the old household appliance industry standards and various policies, there is no corresponding department that monitors the implementation of the guarantee policy and there are major loopholes in the implementation of policies.

Second, interest drives. It is understood that to complete the “renewal of the old”, there is a certain link, sales companies, recycling companies should be strictly consistent with recycling appliances and all certificates. The dismantling of the company in the final part of the recycling process is critical, and if the dismantling of the company is not strictly conducted, it will lead to an overall non-standard sales, recycling, and dismantling market. However, driven by interests, some dismantling companies relaxed the checks on things and certificates and gave birth to the emergence of black market transactions.

In short, China's traditional home appliance market has a huge amount of possession, and the second-hand home appliance market is extremely promising for market development. Guide the development of the second-hand home appliance market, only to find ways to expand the market cake so that enterprises and consumers can profit, and achieve win-win in order to long-term healthy development, which requires a good market order as the basis in order to effectively protect the rights and interests of consumers. Jointly safeguard the healthy operation of the market.
