Hi
is there an area where I can buy some used Tablets and smart phones ,
Probably trade ins , 1 year or so old ?
The kids are real hard on electronics , so if they are going to break them they might as well be used ,
is there an ASUS outlet store ?
thanks for your help
there are some facebook groups where people sell them. taipei buy sell trade, taipei buy sell electronics. you could post a question there
I highly suggest Electronics Market Taiwan run by Tomas Perez. https://www.facebook.com/groups/548703211876107/
I’ve never bought anything from there, but I hear you have to go through Tomas himself to be able to post ads there.
Good luck!

Ruten is a great great and secure place to buy used items, but is a nightmare for anyone that does not hold a local ID number.
I thought getting my ARC would solve this problem, but no change. Only go the Ruten route if you have a trusted local friend/significant other to make the purchase for you.
Need a CHEAP (1-2K) used crappy smartphone with not-too-old Android (can run WeChat and Line). Business Trip to China Monday, can’t find my old Android phone - don’t want to buy online since I need it like “now”, but from a brick-and-mortar store. I’m located in Nangang, where would be a good place or area to go?
One earlier post seems to refer to Guanghua, but I’m not sure where they would sell used stuff around there…
Yep, they have a couple big used good stores right on Xinsheng section 1,on this block, before the pharmacy:
立赫健保藥局
No. 16-2, Section 1, Xinsheng S Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, 100
02 3322 3231

They are on second floor, so look for a staircase
Also here: 再生工場 It has many locations around Taipei. Ask for Vader, he speaks English fluently
再生工場
號, No. 312, Section 3, Roosevelt Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, 100
02 2364 8838
再生工場二手雜貨店
100, Taipei City, Zhongzheng District, Xuchang Street, 12號號 2 樓

There are pre-owned phone shops in Ximen this building first floor.
Thanks a lot for the hints. I can confirm that in the “Old” building of the Guanghua Digital Plaza (Not the Syntrend building) there are indeed some booths selling used phones.
I ended up not buying one, simply because my wife had a great idea: Why not I just use her old phone, for free? (And I buy her a new one)
