Lifehacks
Goofish Shopping Tips
The used market has its own rules. Here's what's useful to know.
State
"9成新" = 90% new
The Chinese value their wealth in “cheng”. 9成新 - almost ideal, 7成新 - traces of use are visible. Take it from 8成新.
Reliability
Check seller's Zhima Credit
Zhima rating (芝麻信用) from 350 to 950. Above 650 - a reliable seller. Below is risky.
