Top place in HCM City to buy used and refurbished electronics
VOV.VN - The skilled technicians at the Nhat Tao Market in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 11 have a solid reputation for refurbishing just about anything electronic and reselling it at a reasonable price.
‘E-waste’ is what happens when millions of consumers across the country buy electronics, only to throw them away after they become obsolete. |
However – these technicians take in dead, old, out of style, and trashed devices – and make them into something usable, then sell them as ‘reconditioned’ at a steep discount. |
Just about anything electronic – including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, clocks and fans |
Vendor Tran Ngoc Thanh has operated a kiosk at the market for five years |
Refurbished mobiles sell for a fraction of the cost of a new phone |
A watch costs just US$5 (VND100,000) |
Kiosk owner Quynh Thi Anh has a camera for an amazingly low US$25 (VND500,000) |
