“用户通过网络或电话下单，描述自己的旧手机的状态，爱回收进行网上估价并打款到客户的账户，在这个阶段资金是冻结状态。在北京、上海地区，目前已经提供了上门验机服务，其他地区选择邮寄方式，经过简单的检测、以及有资质认定的回收公司专业评估，与用户进行最终价格的协商，协商一致马上成交，用户取得款项。”
这一模式的关键，是回收商的网上竞价。
以苹果手机iPhone 4S为例，在选定基本参数16G内存，其他功能完好而外观8成新的条件下，爱回收目前给出的网上报价为1335元。从随机选取的其他两家回收网站的报价来看，淘绿网给出的价格是977元，回收圈给出的价格是580元。不少街头商贩的报价更低于500元。
根据工信部统计数据显示，截至2014年2月，中国的手机用户已达到12.4亿户，每年产生的废弃手机大约有1亿部，而回收率还不到1%。
In April 2011, graduated from Fudan University, engaged in IT industry, Sun Wenjun and Chen Xuefeng, set up the website - aihuishou, which is China's first domestic C2B electronic product recycling bidding platform, focusing on the field of digital electronics mobile phones, laptops and so on. Its basic business model is: self-built logistics team, room service recycling, and then online auction, bulk purchase, processing or electronic waste dismantling of subsequent links.
"User orders via network or telephone , describing the state of their old mobile phones, the network evaluates and then remits money to the customer's account, at this stage funds are frozen. In Beijing and Shanghai, users can enjoy the home inspection machine services. While in other regions users can choose mail. Through simple testing, recycling company with assessment accreditation, and consultation with users of the final price, transaction can be concluded in case of the consensus, the user get money. "
The key to this model is the recycler's online auction.
Let us take iPhone 4S cell phone for example, if it functions well, with 16G of memory and 20% old, it will be quoted at 1335 yuan at aihuishou. We randomly selec the other two recovery websites, the price given by taolvwang is 977 yuan, the price of huishouquan is 580 yuan. Many street vendors offer even less than 500 yuan.
On the right side of aihuishou homepage, user transaction information keeps rolling and the information includes the time of transaction and the model of the recycled mobile phone. "At present, the daily trading volume reaches almost 1000, there are more than 6 million users using our service", said Yuan guoshuan, the chief press officer of aihuishou.
According to the Ministry of Industry statistics, until February 2014, China's mobile phone users has reached 1.24 billion, discarded mobile phones each year about 100 million, while the recovery rate is less than 1%.
Today, e-waste recycling companies in China are also increasingly concerned about mobile phone recycling business. When it comes to the possible impact of market competition, Yuan Guoquan puts it, "our network is running at full speed, I believe that the future market will be vaster".
