Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master, as a triple folding screen mobile phone, has attracted huge attention since its release, with more than 6 million people participating in the reservation on the official website, and the official price of 20,000 yuan has been hyped by scalpers to more than 300,000 yuan. But in less than a week, the price quickly avalancheed, and the scalper channel dropped from hundreds of thousands of yuan to 30,000 yuan.
According to netizens, the price of Huawei Mate XT in the scalper market has experienced an unprecedented avalanche decline, I still remember the first day, some scalpers speculated the official price of 20,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan, which is 15 times more expensive than the official and is still hard to find. But now only four or five days have passed, and the price has quickly dropped to about 30,000 yuan, and many scalpers feel that their lives are on a "roller coaster". originally planned to make a lot of money with Huawei's fame, and even pushed off Apple's purchasing business, focusing the most energy on this mobile phone for a year, but it turned out that he even had to lose money.
According to the earliest expectations of the outside world, Huawei Mate XT with its unique three-fold screen design and high-end positioning, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to find a machine for a long time, and scalpers are expected to have a third-party premium of about 6~100,000 yuan before the Spring Festival at the earliest. At the beginning of the sale of this mobile phone, it became a price gouging for scalpers. It is not uncommon to increase the price of sixty or seventy thousand or even hundreds of thousands, making this mobile phone a veritable "luxury", but in fact, the market has gradually calmed down, and the scalpers' frenzy has quickly subsided.
According to the latest news, the price of Huawei Mate XT triple-fold mobile phones in the scalper market has dropped significantly. The price of the black 16+512G version is only 26,800 yuan, which is less than 5,000 yuan compared with the official website price; Although the red version is priced higher, it is only 35,800 yuan, and the price increase is about 10,000 yuan. This price is a world of difference compared with the previous price increase of more than 100,000 yuan.
So, what exactly caused the Huawei Mate XT scalper price avalanche? First of all, ordinary consumers are not very receptive to new smartphones such as triple folding screens. Although this design is impeccable in terms of technology and futurism, it does not bring much substantial convenience to consumers in the actual use process, plus Huawei has relatively sufficient stock this time, and some friends who are ready to buy it can buy it through official channels, and there is no need to increase the price from scalpers.
Yu Chengdong publicly said that the hot sales of Huawei's triple folding screen mobile phones far exceeded expectations, and the team is working overtime to expand production capacity. This statement not only alleviates the market's concerns about insufficient production capacity, but also conveys Huawei's confidence and determination in this product. And from another point of view, although there have been more than 6 million people who have made an appointment with Huawei Mate XT, but the people who really want to buy it for their own use are probably less than 1%, and the vast majority of people want to be scalpers, when everyone becomes a scalper, the real users are obviously not enough, this mobile phone will naturally be smashed in their own hands, and if you want to resell it at a high price, you will naturally lose some money.
