Household appliances are no longer durable consumer goods in the eyes of many consumers, which makes many household appliances that still have use value flood into the second-hand market. While the second-hand household appliances market is active, many old contradictions are more acute, and the problem mainly focuses on the distinction between "old" and "waste" of second-hand household appliances. According to the survey data of a consulting company on the home appliance market from 1 to1in 2007, the sales of three-door refrigerators in China increased by 39.08% year-on-year, the sales of opposite-door refrigerators increased by 66.97% year-on-year, and the sales of drum washing machines increased by 27.7 1% year-on-year, more than twice the growth rate in 2007. It is estimated that the market capacity of flat-panel TVs will exceed expectations this year, reaching150,000 units. From these data, we can see that consumers' consumption concept is changing. It is no longer "new three years, old three years, and then tinkering for three years", but we hope that electrical products can bring more enjoyment. The reporter learned from the vendors who bought old household appliances in the community that many old household appliances are still very new, and some of them were sold as waste after only one or two years, saying that they are not applicable and need to be replaced. "Many household appliances collected before are broken and can't be used at all. They can only be broken down into parts. The quality of home appliances collected now is good. " A vendor said. This also shows from another side that the pace of upgrading household appliances is getting faster and faster. According to a survey, 2 1% of the people who eliminated old household appliances were eliminated because they felt that their new homes were not fashionable. Old household appliances have market value and low price, which is the biggest advantage of second-hand household appliances, which makes it have a great market. Migrant workers and students are the main consumers of second-hand household appliances. It's a good deal for these people to spend two or three hundred dollars on an old color TV set for two or three years. For consumers with good eyes, they can "find" good goods in the second-hand market. "Second-hand is not necessarily bad. Going to the second-hand market is like going to Taobao. See if you can find it. " Mr. yi bought many household appliances in the second-hand market, such as televisions, stereos and DVDs. "The market price of my TV set is more than 6000 yuan. I only spent 2000 yuan to buy it home. Now I have used it for more than 3 years without any problems. " He said that many goods in the second-hand market are still relatively new, so the choice is still cost-effective. The business director of a waste household appliance recycling enterprise in Shanghai believes that decomposing waste household appliances is a waste, and making full use of surplus value is saving. The display screen of a mobile phone is difficult to handle. Instead of spending a lot of money to deal with it, it is better to continue to use what can be used. In America, the second-hand goods market is very prosperous. But reusable products are put on the market again after overhaul, but the identity of second-hand goods should be marked when selling this time, and the warranty period is relatively short. In fact, this method has existed for a long time in China, but the relevant regulations can strictly regulate the second-hand market. Waste household appliances plague the second-hand market. At present, there is no industry standard to measure and test the quality of second-hand household appliances. The "value or non-value" of second-hand goods purchased by consumers depends entirely on personal feelings and judgments. Fortunately, people who can judge will naturally choose products with excellent quality, but many of them buy "over-aged services" and "problem home appliances" that should have become waste products. At present, China has not established a standardized and perfect recycling system, which is not convenient for centralized control and supervision. As a result, people have no other channels to dispose of used household appliances and can only sell them to street vendors. Vendors often buy old household appliances at a price less than 1/20 of the original price, and the recycling price of a color TV rarely exceeds that of 300 yuan, which is usually one or two hundred yuan, but it is the main channel for recycling electronic and electrical products in China at present. Some experts pointed out that after being recycled by vendors, used electrical appliances often re-enter the market after simple maintenance. Many "over-age services" and "problem household appliances" that should be eliminated have flowed into the circulation channels of second-hand household appliances through painting, illegal assembly and other "operations", which has brought serious hidden dangers to consumers' personal and property safety.

The quality appraisal of second-hand home appliance signs has become a difficult problem. Since March 1 2006, the General Rules for Appraisal of Second-hand Household Appliances and Appraisal of Second-hand Household Appliances approved by the Ministry of Commerce have been formally implemented. According to the regulations, all second-hand household appliances must be appraised by the quality supervision department of second-hand goods when they are sold, and the used household appliances that have exceeded their service life should be forcibly scrapped. In particular, the regulations point out that "second-hand goods" signs should be pasted on obvious parts of goods, and consumers should not be deceived by filling old goods with new ones. All used household appliances are not allowed to enter the second-hand market. The introduction of two industry standards was once considered as the quality guarantee for consumers to buy old household appliances. However, a few days ago, reporters saw in some old household appliances markets in Beijing that second-hand household appliances such as air conditioners, computers and refrigerators were not marked as "second-hand goods" or their service life. Why are there still a large number of businesses that do not meet the requirements? Some merchants have made it clear that the new regulations are "difficult to operate". They say that the identification of second-hand goods is more complicated than new products, and merchants have different standards for judging second-hand goods and waste products. It seems that there must be a clear standard to judge whether second-hand household appliances are "waste" or "old". The reporter who will identify "old" and "waste" household appliances with national standards learned from the Recycling Branch of China Household Electrical Appliances Association that in order to maintain the second-hand trading order, standardize the second-hand trading behavior, prevent commercial fraud and protect people's personal safety, the Technical Requirements for the Quality of Second-hand (Second-hand) Electronic Appliances was jointly drafted by China National Institute of Standardization and China Second-hand Association, aiming at standardizing the second-hand electronic appliance market, saving energy, ensuring the quality of electronic appliances and protecting consumers' interests. The promulgation of this national standard will determine the quality standard of second-hand goods, draw a clear line between second-hand goods and waste, prevent waste from mixing with second-hand goods, prevent "waste" from entering the second-hand market technically and at the source, and create policy conditions for the recycling of discarded electronic and electrical products in the future. The national standard will further improve the second-hand goods appraisal system, implement unified printing, distribution and filing, and ensure its traceability. The logo will include the serial number of second-hand (old) goods, seller information, inquiry method and so on. , to ensure the safety of second-hand goods. Relevant people believe that the introduction of national standards is the key to regulate the second-hand home appliance market.
