Taking only color TV as an example, LCD TVs, plasmas, and LED flat-panel TVs have their advantages of large-screen, full-HD, and ultra-thin TVs.

Therefore, the market of second-hand household appliances is not optimistic. He also said that careful analysis is not difficult to find that the home appliance recycling industry is in the early stages of relatively chaotic development. This is mainly due to the difficulty in balancing the interests of all parties. For the collection point, they often push down the purchase price and choose the goods that are easy to sell. For citizens, they want to consider the actual value of the goods when they try to sell the old appliances, instead of being blindly pushed down the price; Consumers want to buy low-quality products, but often high-quality products are too expensive. Low-priced products do not guarantee quality. Once sold, they are not responsible for the potential of second-hand household appliances. rule".
