Second-Hand Electronics Market




I got my first and current digital camera, a Samsung Digimax A40 (4.0. mega pixels), for ¥1600 (¥ = Yuan: Chinese currency) about $200 American dollar (1$ = 8¥). I thought I had made a bargain, the camera look new to me, but it was actually a used one. Dashatu is very popular area in Guangzhou for used electronic stuff and copycat (from cell phone to I-pod). You’ll also find in this same area Chinese brand name that are much better than copy. Anyhow always check what you get before giving cash. Chinese will take your money with a smile, but they hate refund!
