Recently, the topic of changing things was rushed to the same city hot search, attracting the attention of many neighborhoods. The necklace replacement process ornaments, the phase -changing frame of the earrings, and the book with sunglasses ... In recent years, this most primitive exchange method has quietly emerged and is very popular.

In a community in Sports West Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, there is a small shop with objects. Since opening the store in 2012, this 30 -square -meter shop has gone through ten years. In the past ten years, some people have handled idle items here, and some people exchanged stories here. Based on different needs, the "replacement of passengers" continued the story of the old things.

Eight books, record the ten -year exchange history of the neighborhood

Big Brother, mechanical typo, mechanical clock, old camera ... Entering the small shop, the dazzling old things are quite retro. The "post -80s" Lunzi is the founder of this shop. Because he likes to collect old things, he opened this unique exchange store. “交换物品的规则很简单，顾客拿来旧物，我们和顾客协商一个价格，顾客就可以置换店里同等价格的旧物了。当然，顾客也可以直接购买店内的旧物。”伦子说，换物Customers have all the elderly from the age of four or five to the age of seventh or eighty years old. There are neighborhoods in the community and tourists passing by. Some people look forward to reusing idle resources through old things. Items, commemorative items, etc., customers expect to seek emotional satisfaction by exchange.

Today, there are tens of thousands of items displayed in the store. Most of the old things came from the exchange of customers, and some of them were raised from the country and even around the world. The price of old things ranges from free to tens of thousands of yuan.

In Lunzi's view, the owner of any inherited old thing, the owner of the item is just a passer -by in this life. "Old things are more connotative than new things. Over time, the old things are more vitality and story in the process of circulation. So I buy things in daily life." Lunzi said with a smile.

In the store, Lunzi will also record each customer in the handbook with the information of the substance, and it has been remembered so far. The Condor Heroes, Xia Ke Xing ... Lunzi, who loves martial arts, has a unique name for each hand. Open the account, you can see the dense records such as the exchange date and amount, and the exchange amount is concentrated from tens of yuan to 100 yuan. "Some of our frequent customers will push a car every week to change the old things. The customers who have the most exchanges in my impression have been remembering three pages." In Lunzi, although electronic records are convenient, the paper records are not easy to modify. Customers are not easy to modify. Customers It's easier to trust.

The girl exchanged watches and wrote a paragraph on the message card

Exchange stories, find new masters for the old things

"I want to use a few pairs of earrings and a string of bracelets to change old things." In the hot afternoon, a girl with a ponytail and carrying a schoolbag walked into the store and said. Lunzi took the girl's old things, inspected carefully, and then gave a price of 45 yuan, and said, "You can choose the old things you like in the store to exchange." The girl browsed in front of the shelf, and her eyes gradually locked a series of strings Bracelet, a photo frame and a toy.

The girl's name is Lin Mingrong, a junior student. She said that this was the first time she tried to change things with things. "The earrings and bracelets I brought were given to me with good friends, but because of some things we are alienated, I don't want to keep these objects, but I don’t want to throw it away. Maybe it’ s the best choice to change it. "Lin Mingrong It is said that although the second -hand platform on the Internet today is convenient, it represents more money, while changing items can carry more stories and emotions. "I look forward to the old things to find a new owner."

There are not a few old things with such stories in small shops. Lunzi recalled that not long ago, a girl took a watch to exchange and recorded such a paragraph in the message card: "This watch is complete, and the friends who want to get can be used well. Just because I send me this. The people who are only watches are gone, so I don't want to stay with me anymore. I would like to have a fate! "

Lunzi said that in the past, old things in the store did not record stories, and they were mainly used to achieve exchanges through pricing. However, since the girl exchanged watches, the shop has begun to try another way of exchange, that is, the exchange of the story. "We provide a platform. As long as the customer brings an old thing with a story, we can exchange it with another old thing with a story in the store. We will not price such old things, because the old things with the story are priceless." Lunzi said that looking forward to the exchange of such old things, the story can continue to flow and continue, and at the same time meet the emotional needs of the old owner.

Today, the girl's watch has already found a new owner. After several circulation, a roll of film is now lying on the shelves that exchanged the story. 16 The last time of middle school, there are favorite boys, the best friends and the best physics teacher ... I want to set the most beautiful 15 -year -old.

It's difficult to make a profit, but I still want to continue the old thing story

There is no absolute garbage, only resources that put the wrong position, this is the original intention of Lunzi to hold up. In the past ten years, the shop gradually explored its own door in the baptism of the market. Lunzi recalled: "When I first opened the store, many customers were replaced with many old things, such as clothes, shoes, plush toys, etc., but these items were difficult to circulate. In addition At that time, many times it was' losing money and making money. "Later, Lunzi gradually clarified that the types of substances were changed in the store, mainly crafts, fabrics and jewelry. At the same time, he gradually explored the pricing door by learning the knowledge of commodity materials and color. In addition, Lunzi revealed that the store will use the method of selling price reductions. For example, an old thing, the initial price is 100 yuan. If it is not sold after a few months, the price may drop to 50 yuan. Over time, the old things will slowly reduce the price until the end to free.

Can this model make money? Lunzi admits that the model of changing things is difficult to make a profit or make much money. In the past ten years, there are few similar exchange stores in Guangzhou. Today's small shops can only be balanced. But Lunzi is still looking forward to the future. He said: "As long as the small shop does not lose, I want to run all the time, because here I have owned my heart, and I have met my current wife here. In the future In the case, I also want to make the store bigger, so that more idle items can find the owner who needs it here, so that more old stories can be continued. "
