On Douyin, the largest live broadcast platform in China, friends who need decoration will inevitably be spied on by big data and receive some video push about decoration.
In this type of video, it is not difficult for us to see some "low-price bricks" with affordable prices. The price is simply unimaginably low. Purchasing tiles from various brand stores may cost hundreds of yuan a piece, and these low-priced tiles only cost about 20 yuan a piece. If we purchase a larger quantity, it may drop to 8.8 yuan per piece. The difference between this cannot be said to be 20 times, but can only be said to start at 6 times, with no upper limit. The most expensive materials I have ever seen cost nearly 10,000 yuan a piece.
丨What are the advantages and disadvantages of special price bricks
Regarding the special offer, there are different opinions in the videos pushed by Douyin. Some say it is unreliable and do not recommend buying it, while others say it is worth trying to save money. Regarding this, the audience members were also confused. But if you think about it carefully, the reason why low-priced bricks are so popular cannot escape the advantages of a few taels of broken silver: they are cheap, cheap, and cheap.
As the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss. Since the price of special-price bricks is so close to the people, it is inevitable to give a "discount" in terms of color, quality, and especially after-sales service. This is exactly why brick bargains get a bad rap.
On major live broadcast platforms, there are both those who sell special-priced bricks and those who criticize the special-priced bricks. The author took a look and found that the video bloggers were also attentive. They also made it very clear about the sources of the discounted bricks, including project unfinished goods, material mortgage loans, discontinued product inventory, and goods that don't look particularly good but are of good quality.
The "irregular" supply of goods has caused the quality of special-priced bricks to vary from good to bad. The result of this phenomenon is that it is not impossible for consumers to buy good things, but it is very mysterious. The author still advises: non-chiefs (meaning people with bad luck) should not have any illusions. Non-chiefs will be non-chiefs until their death. Europeans cannot learn this.
Another problem with special price bricks is that they basically have no after-sales service. There was a problem with the ceramic tiles later, and the audience members had no choice but to rely on their own efforts and work hard. Of course, if the number of problem tiles is not large, we can think of ways to deal with it. However, once the quantity increases, there is a problem before us: it is out of stock.
As mentioned before, a major feature of special price bricks is their non-renewability. You say change to other tiles, it won’t look good; don’t change it, it will be annoying to look at, and it will inevitably be complained by your family if you use it. Then all the gentlemen in the audience could do was sing Liu Huan's song "Start Over Again". This is a very sad thing, and what is even more sad is that if you want to replace the tiles, you basically have to go to a specialty store. At the end of the day, the audienceGentlemen still have to buy in stores, spending a fortune on "tuition".
Seeing this, the audience may think that the author does not recommend buying bricks on sale. In fact, this little thing can still be bought.
Although the special-price bricks have some shortcomings, the flaws do not outweigh the advantages. They are cheap! Isn't this reason enough? Wouldn’t it be nice to save a few taels of silver to buy a three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation for your children? Or maybe the audience members can reward themselves and go out to have hot pot with their wives and children.
What? What should I do if there is a problem with the tiles, you ask? Although this thing has obvious shortcomings, it is not impossible to operate it and turn waste into treasure.
丨 Special price brick operation guide
First of all, let’s be clear about a concept. Most of the sellers of special-priced bricks are passing off inferior products as good ones, but the proportion of substandard products of special-priced bricks themselves will never be too high. For manufacturers, on the one hand, defective ceramic tiles are like worthless pieces, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard. On the other hand, the quality of ceramic tiles is really important, and it is difficult for completely unqualified products to get off the production line.
So under the process of "manufacturer - seller of special price tiles - consumer", the quality of the ceramic tiles obtained is generally acceptable. Of course, everything has exceptions, and it is inevitable that things will slip through the cracks. However, the author calculated based on the probability of half good and half bad. Buying double the amount is probably cheaper than buying it in a specialty store.
Besides, special price bricks are prone to problems, right? Then we don’t use it to decorate our own houses. Can’t we simply decorate the houses and rent them out? In addition, it is also good to use special-priced bricks in rural courtyards and walls, which are not particular about places where the service life of ceramic tiles is not high.
Afraid it will be out of stock when you exchange it? OK, when the audience buys bricks, buy some more for later use. The larger the quantity, the lower the price. If there is a problem, replace it. The designs, colors, and textures cannot be said to be exactly the same. It is not difficult to achieve the same roughly. Tenants won't have much objection to renting a house like this. After all, as a social creature, who has time to stay at home all day? Generally speaking, it makes sense. Furthermore, if you really want to move in one day, you won’t feel bad if you dismantle and reinstall it, right?
In addition, it is not impossible to use special-priced bricks for self-occupied houses. After all, there are always furnishings in the house, and some tiles will always be covered, so this part can be used.
The summary is - wherever there is no need to pay attention to, wherever frequent replacement is required, it is also excellent to use this kind of special price bricks, referred to as "two whatevers".
