Questions about official website trade-in

by Poster Apr 21, 2025 25
I have been trading in official website. Before, I changed watches and mobile phones, and the final transaction price was what the estimated price was. Moreover, once I went to the Apple store in Wuxi to trade in old ones, I estimated the price in official website and took the mobile phone to the store. The clerk looked at the appearance and gave me the estimated deduction price, so I always felt that although the price in official website was low, it was worry-free. But this time, I used m1 MacBook air.

    Offline direct-operated stores rely on the judgment of store assistants, while online cooperation with third-party recyclers may be stricter.

    Forget it, the mbp I bought in 2018 was bitten off the screen by my cat. There were a few small pits. The official website directly told me that it was worthless, 0 yuan, and told me to help me get rid of it. Environmentally friendly 😂

    Didn't you say special value preservation before??? Environmentally friendly protection?

    @ Anonymous5980 Special value preservation is the special value preservation of recent generations of products, and it is a second-hand value preservation. Official website will give you some money to pay to destroy your equipment.

    It feels not as good as JD.com's trade-in. There are national subsidies and replacement subsidies. Even if you love recycling and lower prices, it is more affordable than the official website

    Be sure to go offline! Offline is worry-free, online is not as good as recycling/transferring

    iPhone recycling is official, and Mac recycling is a third-party Aifengpai. My case: https://www.v2ex.com/t/741273 # reply17

    Except for the official recycling of the direct-operated store, everything else is better than giving it to v friends. I recycled an iPhone 8 that was flooded a few years ago. The direct-operated store can pass the test as long as its appearance is ok.

    I was disgusted once. The iphoneX was estimated at 800. I sent it to evaluate that the battery was bulging, and I gave you 0 yuan for free recycling. When I sent it back, I found that the sealing edge of the screen was still broken. Online is a third party, which will lower the price and will not be used in the future.

    JD.com traded in the old for a new one, which was estimated at 1,600. The staff came to the door to inspect some scratches, but they still gave 1,600.

    My iPhone was not bargained for online recycling. The screen has a long scratch and a corner of the back panel is broken..

    All trade-ins are operated by third-party recyclers, and eventually the machines flow into the second-hand market owned by the recyclers. In mainland China, it is mainly Aifengpai (a subsidiary of Foxconn, which specializes in handling Apple's non-brand-new business), Aihuishou and Zhuanzhuan. If you face these three directly in the first level, you will definitely be bargained, so you must go to the direct store in the first level.

    If you must choose official recycling, if the device that can be recycled in the store must be an iPhone, go to the store, and if it cannot, don't recycle it
