It was rumored on the Internet that Huawei's three-fold screen mobile phone Mate XT, which was speculated to 600,000 units, fell all the way in the secondary market after its official sale, and is now basically stable between 26,000 and 38,000 yuan, compared with black, the premium of the red version is significantly higher. However, it is worth noting that there are also special three-fold routines on the market, such as "contract machine" and "Huabei freezing", which consumers need to carefully screen.
Huawei's three-fold scalper price tends to stabilize after an avalanche
On September 10, Huawei announced the price of Huawei's first triple folding screen mobile phone Mate XT at the Huawei Mate XT press conference, with a price between 19,999 yuan and 23,999 yuan, and announced that the official sale time will be September 20.
On September 10, there was news on the Internet that the price of scalpers was as high as tens of thousands of yuan or even more than 100,000 yuan. The reporter also contacted a scalper on the same day, who said that someone in the peer group did offer 600,000 units, but the truth was unknown. He will have to wait until September 19 to 20 to get the goods, and will price them at approximate market prices.
So what is the approximate market price?
On September 20th, some netizens said in a video on social platforms that he grabbed a 23,999 yuan red top Mate XT mobile phone, and a scalper was willing to recycle it at a price of 30,000 yuan, that is, a price increase of 6,000. On the day of the sale, the reporter saw through the Xianyu platform that the price of the mobile phone was basically more than 34,000 yuan, and the price increase was more than 10,000 yuan.
But this price only lasted for one day. Some netizens posted that on September 21, the black Mate XT mobile phone he grabbed was sold for 30,000 yuan. In addition, some netizens said that on the evening of September 21, the lowest price of Mate XT has come to 27,000 yuan.
After a rapid decline, the scalper price of the Mate XT has finally stabilized, and the price of the red version remains high.
On September 25th, the reporter once again consulted a number of scalpers as a consumer about the price of the black 1TB Mate XT, and the scalpers opened at about 32,000 yuan, and they still need to increase the price by more than 8,000 yuan. In the whole series, the lowest price is the 256G black version, which is 26,500 yuan, with a price increase of about 6,500 yuan. The highest price of the red 1TB version is 41,000 yuan, and it still needs to be increased by about 17,000 yuan.
On September 26, the reporter asked another scalper about the price of the black 1TB Mate XT, the scalper quoted 31,300 yuan, and after the reporter counteroffered to 31,000 yuan, the scalper said that it could also be sold. On September 28, the reporter received an offer from the scalper again, and the price of the black 1TB Mate XT has dropped to 30,500 yuan. The most expensive red 1TB version has been reduced to 38,000 yuan.
However, there are also scalpers who offer even lower.
"The price of black is only 3,000 yuan, and the price of red is 8,000 yuan, and the order is activated on the spot." Another scalper said.
The package fee is 10,000 yuan a year!
Now there is a routine for the tri-fold
A number of scalpers contacted by the reporter asked buyers to pick up the goods in the store and activate them on the spot, and one of the scalpers told reporters on the phone that this is a policy launched by Huawei to crack down on scalpers and prevent "fleeing goods" in various places.
"You have to be in person, and you have to activate it on the spot." The scalper said that he has two kinds of goods in his hands, namely the "market goods" received at a high price from the users who rushed to buy them and the "channel goods" obtained from various channel providers. Compared with "channel goods", "market goods" can be activated all over the country, but the price is also more expensive. Taking the black 1TB Mate XT consulted by the reporter as an example, the scalper offered 3,100 yuan, while the "market goods" offered 31,700 yuan, and an additional 700 yuan was paid.
However, along with the feature of "on-site activation", the reporter noticed that there are now also routines specifically for three-folds.
"They'll all offer a lower premium, and then after paying for it, tell you you're buying a 5G custom version." On September 23, Xiao Xia, who was studying in graduate school in Nanjing, contacted a scalper through the Xianyu platform, intending to buy a black 1TB Mate XT, and the other party only increased the price by 2000 yuan.
He told reporters that after entering the store to make a successful payment and issue a receipt, the other party told him that this was a contract machine, and he needed to make a customized card, and then buy a special package, otherwise he would not be able to use this mobile phone.
"The fee for this package is about 10,000 yuan per year, and the other party told me that now that it is on the Internet, it cannot be refunded. Either charge the phone bill and get a customized 5G package, or add money to buy the regular version. Xiao Xia said that the other party had said that the phone bill could be refunded after recharging, but he called the operator and learned that it could not be refunded. In the end, he chose to increase the price to 31,000 yuan to buy the regular version.
In the interview, the reporter also asked the scalpers whether there was a contract machine, and most of the scalpers said that they had never heard of it, or they did not participate in the sale of contract machines. However, one scalper said that several of his customers had experienced similar experiences.
"There is a customer who bought the 5G version, calculated to recharge the phone bill, it costs more than 50,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone, but fortunately I found out without signing a contract and successfully refunded it." The scalper said.
Others have encountered other types of routines.
According to a video posted on an online platform by a blogger with the nickname "Zhengzheng who drives a tank", the shopkeeper he contacted asked to freeze the "market premium" of 39,999 in Huabei in addition to paying the price of the mobile phone, and to bring the mobile phone to the store two years later to "return" the money.
"Shouldn't it be to apply for a return from the platform? What if the store closes after two years? The blogger questioned it and gave up on continuing to buy.
