Technique

For old phones or tablets, you can get a discount on a new device. Stores where this promotion is valid, assure that the discount can reach up to 100%.

They will accept devices with scratches, stains on the body and even with a broken screen, and in return they will give a discount on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.

Sellers promise value, but some buyers complain that phones are priced too cheaply. For example, MTS rated the iPhone 7 with 32 GB memory at 3200 R. And if you believe the calculator on the website of the Re-store store, giving away your iPhone 5 with 64 GB of memory, you can get a discount of only 1900 R on the purchase of a new iPhone XS Max.

Non-working equipment under the recycling program will be accepted by Eldorado, giving a discount on a new one. At the same time, you need to check the prices for a similar product in other stores, because some equipment can cost the same amount even without any disposal.

Old things

Some stores accept old items in exchange for a discount: clothes, cosmetics, books, and even cars.

Textile will be accepted by H&M and Monki stores: for a bag of old clothes they will give a discount of 15% and 10% for one item.

Cosmetics."Lash" for five empty packages of its products will give a face mask. The action is permanent, but it is not valid everywhere - for example, in Kazan the company did not find a processing company.

Glasses. Old glasses will be exchanged for a new frame in the opticians "Points-ru" and "Ochkoff-no". And "Point of View" will give a 50% discount on glasses cheaper than 3000 R.

Books. You can exchange the old library for new books in the Republic store: for two books they give a 20% discount on two new ones. They exchange books both through the bookshelves and in the group "Will you read?" in Vkontakte.

Cars. Concern "Lada" offers a discount from 20,000 R under the trade-in program. Customers in the reviews write that they buy cars on average 70,000 R cheaper than the market price. For example, for a 2016 Lada Vesta, they offered 540,000 R (500,000 R for a car and 40,000 R for a trade-in). This is a good market price.

In the Hyundai salon in 2018, they accepted a 2014 Hyundai Solaris for trade-in for 430,000 R and gave a discount of 30,000 R on a new car. The purchase turned out to be profitable: four years ago
