Recently, when I was shopping in the computer market, I found that there are many second-hand goods, re-repair goods or public package goods in the market. Especially the third floor of the first and second phases of Pacific Phases, which are even more gathering places for these products. In order to prevent all netizens from being deceived, the editor provides you with some methods based on his own experience how to identify second-hand goods, re-repair goods and sample goods. After all, the editor has also had experience in using these items.
The editor first states that if the merchant clearly tells you that the goods on hand are second-hand, re-works or factory-packaged goods, and the price is appropriately cheap, then that is understandable. What you need to know at this time is how to reasonably purchase second-hand goods and how to obtain relevant after-sales service. But if you need new products and the merchants give you the above products in secret, that is the issue that this article will discuss. I hope you can indeed buy new accessories after reading this article. Let’s take a look at how to identify second-hand goods, re-works and work-packages of various accessories.
Most of the board products such as graphics cards and sound cards can be opened at will due to the need for merchants to label. Although it is convenient for us to view the goods, it is also convenient for merchants to do their tricks in this regard. If we look at a product and are sure to buy it, we first need to check their gold fingers to see if there are any traces of metal friction left after insertion and removal. If there is any, whether it is a re-repaired product or a second-hand product, at least it has been used, try not to buy it.
The motherboard product can observe each slot and jack to see if there are any traces of being used. In addition, you can also see some clues when looking at whether the meticulous workmanship of the board and the card are consistent (of course, if you are a rookie, you may not be able to see it). If the solder joints in some places are rough or solder is left, it is very likely to be a re-worked product. In addition, a more obvious point in the re-repair (welded) is that the printed fonts on the PCB will have obvious yellowing. Most of the merchants such as this will sell you much cheaper than the market price, but the quality is difficult to guarantee.
In addition, you need to pay attention to the labels that the merchant has set. If there are multiple labels on the board and the time difference is a while, it is very likely that it is second-hand goods. Of course, it is also possible that the merchant will put the second label on the first label and cover it (in this case, it may be that the goods transferred by the merchant from the second store, and it depends on the goods in detail).
You have the right to refuse such products, so you can ask the merchant to take another piece to take a look at. It is also possible that some merchants will wipe off the last label, but there will always be some traces left because the labels used for labeling are very sticky and difficult to remove. Just look at the side of the board to the light, if you can see that a certain part is not very smooth and not reflective, it is very likely that it has been labeled.
It is difficult to distinguish between board and card packaging, because most of the packaging is goods obtained by merchants from illegal channels, but its quality may not be problematic (just like the Jingyu 4200-8X and Gigabyte R9700 PRO some time ago), but the warranty time is shorter (usually one month to three months), but the price is a lot cheaper than the licensed goods.
To be honest, these work bags are not suitable for ordinary consumers to buy, because if there is a problem after the warranty period is over, I really don’t know how to do it. The one who is really suitable for buying a private bag is hardware enthusiasts, because they pursue performance. When these work bags pass the warranty period, they change to something with higher performance.
