Although the time to market has not yet been finalized, but the reporter yesterday visited the Evergreen City Electronic Commerce Building located in Tianmu West Road, found that many shops have US version of the iPad 2 spot sale, the cheapest one is priced at 5120 yuan.
There are many sources of goods, and the price has dropped a thousand nights. In the “Global Mobile Phone Network†store on the 3rd floor of the city, although the physical or model of the iPad 2 can’t be seen on the counter, when the reporter proposed to buy a spot to look at the spot, the staff quickly A white 16G WiFi iPad 2 has been taken out.
The iPad 2 that was just taken out of the warehouse looks very similar to the image posted on the Internet. The body is also lighter and thinner than the iPad. The box looks a bit rough, and the texture feels rough. The staff explained that In the past two days, more people bought iPad 2, "the box was touched by the customer"; random instructions were all written in English, the last sentence was "Printed in China" (Chinese printing), when the reporter said When you understand English, the staff said that the iPad 2 in the shop is all imported from the United States. The instruction manual is of course only in English. The operation method is similar to that of the iPad. It must be learned. The staff also said that only 16G WiFi is currently available in the store. And 16G3G two types of iPad 2 spot, WiFi type price is 5300 yuan, while the 3G type price is as high as 9,000 yuan. "3G is too expensive and boring, I suggest you buy a WiFi. 550 with an original leather case, 500 in our shop to buy a 2 year hardware warranty, spend the early 6,000 to be installed." The staff enthusiastically promoted.
Afterwards, the reporter visited another 3 stores and found that each store had a spot price and a similar price. Taking the black 16GWiFi iPad 2 as an example, the lowest bid price is 5120 yuan and the highest is 5700 yuan; while the 16G3G iPad 2 is priced at more than 8,000 yuan. Compared to the 16GWiFi-type genuine retail price of 499 US dollars (approximately RMB 3,300) in the United States, parallel imports appear to be very "expensive".
On the 6th floor of the commercial building, the boss of Xingyuanyuan News Agency saw the reporter being too expensive and explained that “it was only four or five days before the goods were shipped. We have already lowered the price once, and it is now cheaper.†The boss said that the initial smuggling was "flying" to the domestic market. The price was 1,000 yuan more expensive than the current average. In recent days, "shipping goods" and other products have arrived one after another. There are many sources of goods and the price is only a little cheaper. At the same time, he repeatedly assured the reporter, "have already dropped a price, it is impossible to drop in the short term, and may not be even higher. Japan earthquake, some components are out of stock, iPad 2 production will certainly decline in the future, to buy quickly and no later in stock ."
Beware, do not buy counterfeit fakes. Not far from the "Star Star News Agency", the owner of "Mango Communications" told reporters that "I'm not good at someone's home goods. I can only tell you. Don't look iPad 2 out. Within a few days, the market is now in chaos, and you will accidentally buy counterfeit goods."
He said that there are only three 16G WiFi stocks in his shop, all of which are sent to the United States after a friend of the United States buys them locally. "I sell 5,700 pieces, which are more expensive than other stores, but I guarantee that the goods are bought from the United States. The packaging is not opened. You have to look at the machines inside. You have to pay the money first, buy it and look at it."
"The other shop opened the package to show you the machine, but as soon as the box was opened, God knew whether it was a parallel or a fake."
He also reminded that when buying the iPad 2 do not spend money to buy the warranty in the store. "I advise you to spend 300 dollars for a one-year hardware warranty. Those are all deceiving. They are all American versions of parallel imports. They must be sent back to the United States to repair them. They will take you 300 blocks. When they are broken, they use the money as a courier fee, or tinkering in a small workshop, but can you rest assured that, once repaired, the parts inside will be lost."
During the visit, the reporter also learned that, although the price of the iPad was substantially “divorced†after the advent of the iPad 2, the price of the iPad has recently begun to rise slightly.
The staff of "Compotech" told reporters that after the advent of the iPad 2, the price of the iPad began to "fall back", and the lowest price of the 16G was to sell only 2,760 yuan in their stores. “There were a lot of people buying at that time. Someone would buy two at a time.†But as manufacturers shifted their production focus to iPad 2, “The output is less, domestic goods are less, parallel imports are less, but everyone is still To buy, the price is slowly getting a little higher." At present, the price of the 16G WiFi iPad is more than 2,900 yuan. "This price changes every day and it is not accurate."
