The price is not transparent, the glass market is too "朦胧"

Now a common problem facing the building materials industry is the price issue. “The price of a few thousand sells hundreds of them, you have to own a light bulb, and you have to install another money...” Recently, Mr. Gao renovates his new home and visits the lighting market. In the face of all sorts of strange things, they complained of endless difficulties. A few days ago, the reporter also visited a number of lighting market, found that a variety of materials, shapes, features of a dazzling array of lighting, fine asked to take as many people as possible dizzy.

Virtually high prices have hit 40% and earn

The price is 2700 yuan, the asking price is more than 800, and the transaction is more than 300. Buy lights in the lighting market, "You have to bargain, or just wait to slaughter it." Citizen Ms. Yin is very satisfied with the chandelier she just purchased in her home, bargaining to help her get the best price.

A survey by the reporter found that most of the products in the lighting market are far apart from the price and the transaction price. Mr. Jin, who has been in the home improvement industry for many years, revealed that the average consumer bargaining price is based on the price quoted by merchants. He said: "For example, if a consumer chooses a lamp with a price of more than 3,000 yuan, he will be satisfied with the price of more than 2,000 yuan. Some astute consumers will cut it at half the price, but in fact it is even 40% off. We also earn."

Many crystal lamps are "advanced glass"

In Tangnan Zhaoshang Lamps City, 2nd floor, many businesses have "crystal lamps" for sale, and the price is not cheap. In the two adjacent stores, the reporter found that the style is almost identical to the crystal chandelier, the price is very far apart, a nearly 3,000 yuan, one as long as 500 yuan.

A shop owner frankly said: “Would you buy a crystal lamp, don’t be superstitious about the price? Two or three thousand dollars is not necessarily good enough. Isn't it all glass?” “The glass is so expensive?” the owner explained quickly. “That It's not ordinary glass, it's not good glass. Lights won't have this kind of colored crystal effect."

According to industry sources, the crystal lamp is expensive because of the high purity of the crystal. However, with the attraction of profits, many merchants have used glass to polish the so-called "crystal" lights. "A lot of people spent tens of thousands of yuan, and in the end they still bought glass lamps."

It is industry practice to sell light fixtures only

The public, Mr. Lin, spent more than 900 yuan to buy a living room lamp. He invited an electrician to install it. It took him a whole day to fix it. "The buyer's electricity package is installed, and people who buy a lamp plus money are not allowed to install it." Mr. Lin once told the merchants at the time of purchase that he was willing to pay for the labor fee and requested the merchants to be responsible for the installation and was rejected by the merchants.

The author asked more than a dozen lamps and lanterns city shop as the consumer, was informed "only sells does not install". A shop owner frankly stated that the shop was not equipped with professional installation technicians, and the installation required another person to ask, "If you only buy one lamp, one hundred and eighty dollars, the masters do not want to run a trip," unless you buy more lights. , You can add a manual package installation.

The reporter found that some lighting packages are equipped with installation drawings provided by manufacturers, and some are not. However, high-end lamps and lanterns made of various crystals, ceramics, marble, and wooden art are emerging in an endless stream. The structure is complex, and it is extremely laborious to install, and it is extremely fragile, and ordinary electricians often cannot cope with them.
