Studying the terms of exchange
Exchanging an old fur coat for a new one occurs as follows. For example, your worn fur coat was valued at 30,000 rubles. You will be given a certificate for this amount , which you can use to pay for the new product. Well, if the fur coat you choose costs less than the amount indicated in the certificate, then no one will return the difference to you. Conversely, if the new product turns out to be more expensive, you will have to pay extra for it.
By the way, if someone tells you that you can only choose a new fur coat from certain models specific for this purpose, do not believe it. Don’t believe it until you first read all the terms of the promotion, in which you will definitely be provided with all the necessary information about which fur coats you can choose as an exchange .
Mink fur is one of the most valuable and expensive furs, and therefore you will be offered a good amount for it, especially if the fur coat has retained its good appearance and has no bald spots or scuffs.
It is especially profitable to trade in an old mink coat in exchange for a new one from another fur, for example, from a fox or raccoon. In this case, you will not have to pay a significant difference and you will be able to enjoy completely new experiences because, almost certainly, you are already tired of the mink and want to somehow be transformed into a new fur beauty.
Tested for ourselves: How we tried to exchange old things for new ones
- And I, on the contrary, will trade in my smartphone and buy this antediluvian phone. But they won’t torment you with text messages and spam!

Smartphones: “The price of the old depends on the price of the new”
You can exchange your old smartphone for a new one with an additional payment for a long time. True, while only iPhones were accepted, the service was not popular. But when “androids” were added to them less than a year ago, the number of exchanged gadgets increased 65 times. In April-June alone, about 100 thousand devices were brought to the showrooms of one of the networks for exchange.
Inspired, I took my old Samsung and went to the mall. There are several communication shops there at once. “I’ll find a place for the old man somewhere,” I thought optimistically then. But not everyone is ready to work with “antiques” - in the very first salon they immediately turned us away. They said they don't do trade-ins.
In the second it’s similar.
But one of the communication shops was already thriving: there was a line there already in the morning. Mostly, migrant workers sent home remittances. Hearing the word “trade-in,” the line began to quiver. And then the whole crowd found out the conditions with interest.
According to salon consultant Nikolai, my phone, once a top-end device for 5 thousand, will cost about 1 thousand rubles upon exchange. It is approximately.
— To say for sure, you need to reset all settings from it and connect it to the system.
“Throw it away,” I say.
Nikolai twirled and turned the gadget in his hands, connected it to the computer, and after about five minutes rendered a verdict. So, if I decide to buy a phone up to 30 thousand rubles, then mine will be accepted for a thousand. If the West wants more expensive models, then for two.
There is also a special offer. For a phone priced at 60 thousand rubles. Here the trade-in discount will be 16 thousand.
There are no pitfalls. When you trade it in, you get a discount on a new phone that comes with all warranties. The assessment of the device being handed in is carried out free of charge.
Overall, not bad.
Real estate: “We are not interested in selling apartments at high prices”
You can also buy real estate through mutual settlement.
— Almost 40% of purchases of new buildings became possible due to the fact that the client sold some other property. Depending on the property, trade-ins are used by 15 to 20% of buyers,” Natalya Shatalina, general director of Miel-Novostroika, cites data.
Developers offer the buyer to have their old apartment sold by their real estate partner agency. At the time of sale, the client reserves an apartment in a new building, and the price is fixed.
Otherwise, while the person himself would be selling the old apartment, the new one would have become more expensive, and maybe it would simply disappear - profitable options are quickly sold out.
— Agencies do not accept trade-in credit only for frankly illiquid apartments that cannot be sold. For example, on the first floors overlooking the street in houses not included in the renovation program; in houses with extremely unfavorable neighborhoods (power lines, thermal power plants, landfills). At best, they will be accepted at a greatly reduced price. But with such a discount, the seller will sell it himself,” says department head Oksana Ivanova.
That's all about the advantages.
An apartment is usually sold at a trade-in price below the market price.
“We are not interested in selling your old apartment at a high price, because it won’t sell quickly,” one developer confirmed my fears about the discount.
“This discount could be 20%,” another construction company opened up. Here, by the way, you need to make a deposit of 100 thousand rubles. If the old apartment does not sell within three months, the money is not returned.
“If the developer goes bankrupt, your advance payment will be lost,” warns lawyer Dmitry Lesnyak.
Many companies add a markup when trading in. One developer told KP that its size depends on the size of the down payment that must be made when booking a new building. If it is 5% of the apartment price, then the amount of debt will increase by 3%. With a contribution of 10% - by 2.5%. If you pay 25% right away, there will be no overpayment.
Cars: sell at any cost
Trade-in when buying a car is a common thing. And there have been no fundamental changes here. Yes, the seller will free you from the hassle of selling your old car, but will accept it as credit at a cost 10-30% below the market price.
It happens that dealers declare additional discounts on new cars for the very fact of participating in the trade-in program. But this is just a marketing ploy. According to auto expert Alexander Dobin, today dealers are interested in selling cars as quickly as possible. And almost no one bets on sales margin anymore - the main income comes from after-sales service, which is quite expensive. Therefore, if you are not lazy and bargain, you can get a discount from the dealership without a trade-in, without selling your car cheaply.
Clothing and household appliances: “It’s just marketing”
The closet is full of moth-eaten fur coats.
Judging by the advertisements on the Internet, old fur will easily be accepted in exchange for a new fashion product.
Here, for example: “An old fur coat in any condition will give you a discount of 3 - 10% of the price tag.”
- Yes, and bring old things. “We’ll accept everything,” they confirmed at the salon.
Another said the maximum discount could be as much as 45%. But only if you buy fur coats from the new (that is, the most expensive) collection.
- Yes, this trade-in is just a marketing ploy. We can make a discount without it,” the third salon said.
Actually, as I expected.
Well, okay - I don’t wear fur coats anyway. But I got used to household appliances. I wish I could update it.
And here again is an advertisement - an advertisement for a recycling program in a well-known household appliances store: “The amount of the discount depends on the product and can reach 20%.” The site offered everything for trade-in: refrigerators, stoves, laptops, vacuum cleaners. I called. In fact, the trade-in discount was only for a washing machine, which costs 53 thousand rubles. Moreover, only one exhibition sample remained. You need to deliver your old equipment to the warehouse in... Serpukhov. We are not talking about store pickup.
Um, no, we don't need that kind of marketing.
*Trade-in: a service in which the cost of the item you hand over to the store is counted towards the price when purchasing a new one.
How the price is formed
In the salon where you plan to change the fur product, they will evaluate the old one . In this case, such criteria as the length of the fur coat, the quality of the fur, its appearance and color will be taken into account.
To get an idea of the price of your product in advance, you can first go to a local fur pawn shop and ask for an appraisal.
Some people are interested in where fur salons dispose of their worn fur coats and exchange them for new ones. As a rule, they go either for further processing or somewhere for charity.
As we can see, it’s not difficult to make a new thing for the new season if you have an old fur coat.

Exchanging an old fur coat for a new one - how it works
exchanging fur coats is a simple and straightforward matter. You find a salon or store that is currently running a similar promotion (as a rule, they are most often held in the off-season). There they ask you to bring your old model and exchange it. Often they will take your old model in any condition, regardless of its degree of wear. But, of course, the discount you will receive when exchanging your fur coat for a new model will depend on it. If your product is in good condition and the fur looks almost new, then most likely you will be offered a maximum discount, which can amount to almost the full cost of a new model.
