Hello! Is there a few old LED screens from ten years ago in your warehouse? Last month, my buddy's company moved, and the P10 monochrome screen that was eliminated for more than 20 yuan was sold as scrap iron - as a result, they turned around and re-listed on the second-hand platform ten times! ​ ​Today we will understand where to send old LED screens to avoid losing? ​ ​

1. The advantages and disadvantages of the three major recycling channels are greatly improved

​​"If you collect rags, give 80 yuan, and if you specialize in recycling, give 800 yuan? "​ ​Let’s find out these tricks first:

1. ​​Original reverse recycling​​(suitable for equipment within five years)

• Advantages: It can offset 30% of the price of new machines, and some manufacturers will also disassemble them.
• Points: Original purchase certificate is required (the equipment before 2018 is basically ineffective)

1. ​​Used equipment dealer​​(The waters of the rivers and lakes are deep! )

• Industry regulations: Evaluate based on the residual value per square meter. For example, the P4 rental screen can still be worth 800-1,200 yuan/㎡
• Dark Scene: Be careful when doing your tricks on the scale! I have seen people who count the weight of the screen frame into the total weight and eat up 20% of your income directly

1. ​​Environmental protection treatment company​​(Total scrapping)

• Focus on qualifications: You must have a "Certificate of Disposable Electrical and Electronic Products"
• Blood and tears case: A company found a small workshop for cheap photos, but was photographed throwing circuit boards with six figures fine

2. Remember these 5 core indicators of valuation

​​"Why can his screen be sold at a high price? "​ ​Recyclers will never tell you pricing secrets:

• Brightness attenuation value (take a professional detector, and directly bargain if it is lower than 70% of the factory value)
• Dead light rate (more than 50 bad light beads per square meter, 10 yuan is deducted for every additional one)
• Module flatness (use steel ruler to measure gap > 2mm to calculate scrap parts)
• Control system compatibility (it can also support the new version of the receiving card with 30% value)
• Power supply life (basic for more than 8 years is calculated based on scrap copper price)

​​Tell me the truth​​: Last year, a shopping mall replaced a 200㎡ P3 screen, and it sold an extra 20,000 yuan because it retained the original packaging and debugging records! So, don't throw away the maintenance records in your daily life.

3. These tricks can make you earn 30% more

​​"They are all old screens, some people are treasures and some are grass"​​Learn these tricks and get to the level immediately:

1. ​​Video before disassembling​​: The entire process from the boot display to the unboxing process (it can prove that non-violent disassembly can increase the price by 15%)
2. ​​Classified packaging​​: Install the power supply, module and frame separately (the recycler is the most annoying to the pot)
3. ​​Take advantage of hot concepts​​: Screens with "low brightness and high gray" technology are now very popular in the second-hand market (for example, the residual value of the 1920Hz refresh rate is 20% higher)
4. ​​Card time node​​: The highest recycling price in March-April every year (manufacturers will trade in old-for-new performance)

​​The truth is abnormal​​: Don’t think that outdoor screens are worthless! The IP65 protection level iron box can be sold separately for scrap aluminum, and a 20㎡ screen frame can earn more than 800 yuan!

4. Three major pits that you must not step on

​​"Did you agree to go to the door to recycle, but the transport fee will be charged? "​ ​These routines are accurate for newcomers:

• Contract Trap: Pay attention to whether there are any overbearing terms such as "pricing based on actual test results"
• Qualification trick: Those who claim to be environmentally friendly recycling but cannot get the "Hazardous Waste Business License" quickly run
• Deposit Scam: If you want you to pay a deposit first, nine out of ten are scammers

​​Personal experience​​: When I helped the school handle the old screen, the other party said that it would take three days to test it before giving the quotation. As a result, a week later, it was said that the screen was "accidentally damaged" and could only be charged at the price of scrap iron - later I found out that the imported driver chip was removed!

5. Hidden monetization methods that experts know

The old wizard who has worked in the project for ten years secretly told me:

• The performance company specializes in collecting rental screens with quick disassembly structures (even 50% of the dead lights can be sold for modification fees)
• Don't throw away old monochrome screens! It can be sold for 300 yuan/㎡ when converted into a parking lot sign
• The glass substrate of the transparent screen is collected by someone (the residual value of 86% transmissivity is 40% higher than that of the ordinary screen)

Recently, a new way of playing has emerged: transform the 3D screen before 2016 into a retro gaming machine case, and people will grab it on the second-hand platform for 2,000 yuan/㎡! So, old screen processing is really not a one-time deal.

Personal advice

I have seen too many operations of companies dealing with old equipment, and I sincerely advise you:

1. Don't wait until the screen is completely scrapped before processing (the highest residual value in about three years)
2. Find a recycling party with a self-operated factory (to prevent middlemen from eating price differences)
3. The contract must be signed, "Pay within 24 hours of arrival"
4. Don’t sell the entire set of equipment with control system (the price of a complete system can double)

Finally, I will turn to hard data: the circulation volume of second-hand LED screens soared by 170% in 2023, among which the premium of equipment with international certification (such as CE and CCC) is as high as 35%. So, it was really foresight to choose a big manufacturer when buying equipment - now even if you eliminate it, you can get more money!
