How to start a business for buying old equipment?
TVs bought with little money can be dealt with in different ways. Most often they are dismantled for parts. The received parts are sold to different productions, where they are received. New technologies today allow the use of spare parts for the second time. This makes it possible for an entrepreneur to receive a stable income. Often the purchase of household appliances has the format of a home business. Investments in it are minimal, and knowledge is practically not required. To develop your business, you will need mobile communications, the Internet and your own residential or non-residential area. To this you need to add ingenuity, imagination and a great desire to get satisfaction from your work.
Most of the inhabitants do not even realize that they have unique and rare things in their apartment. These are old TVs, radios, walkie-talkies. Any old technology is valuable today. If you do not have such items in your house, then your relatives probably have them. Grandparents are often happy to get rid of those things that take up space in the house, but have not been useful for a long time. How many of them are still in the homes of our friends and relatives!
Now the question arises, we organized the reception of old Soviet televisions, but what is their value? The fact is that the technology for manufacturing many parts of old equipment provided for the addition of precious metals and copper to them. Silver, gold and even platinum were added to the boards. A quite fair question arises, how many of these metals were there before, if they are even in technology? Previously, without them, the device simply could not work. These precious metals are the purpose of our business. It is the “gold” that makes the acceptance of old products profitable and cost-effective.
In addition to precious materials, old TVs have a lot of non-ferrous metals. These are pieces of copper, aluminum. You can select them from the parts mechanically. Gold and silver, for example, are extracted only through chemical reactions. How much aluminum or copper is in a TV can be judged by a specific model. As for copper, it was used as a winding in transformers. Usually, 500-800 grams of copper can be extracted from one TV, and sometimes even more than 2 kg. 1 kg of it costs 145 rubles on the market, and aluminum is valued at 50 rubles.
The reception of Soviet technology and the extraction of valuable materials and copper from its parts form the basis of our home business. Even if the entrepreneur does not have the knowledge to isolate metals, the boards can be sold to people who know a lot about radio engineering. Even under such conditions, the purchase will be profitable.
Below are the minimum prices for some TV radio components. Here's how much it might cost:
How much money do you need to start?
Buying old receivers and TVs is a business. It requires a commercial approach and some organization. In addition to information on poles, you can advertise that old equipment is being bought up in newspapers and on the Internet. Advertising and reception costs can be minimal. You will need some funds for gasoline and a car. It must be roomy. In order to save money, it is better to plan the route in such a way as to receive equipment from several addresses at once. A room for appliances can be allocated in your own apartment. It is better if it is a private house. Then the reception can be organized even in your own territory. It is necessary to calculate the costs for the sale of copper and precious metals.
How much can you earn buying TVs?
Buying up old radios will then be profitable when the entrepreneur learns to accurately set prices for them. How much you can earn depends not only on the state of technology, but also on the ability to bargain. As such, there are no price lists or market prices for TV reception. Their cost is always determined approximately. The benefit of the owner is the last thing that is taken into account when buying takes place. A businessman must be sure that he will earn on the purchased item, on the sale of copper and metals from it. The cost of an old TV can be several dollars or even several hundred conventional units. Japanese televisions released several decades ago are highly valued. This technique was and remains the most reliable.
