The demand for second-hand phones in Romania is rising as consumers seek financial savings amid rising prices. Ionuț-Corneliu Dumitraș, CEO of YZZY, notes a nearly 40% increase in sales since 2024, driven by changing consumer attitudes. Many Romanians now view used phones as a viable option, allowing significant savings compared to new models. The pandemic accelerated this trend, with more people shopping online and being mindful of expenses. Reports indicate over 200,000 refurbished phones sold in 2024, with a market value of around 50 million euros. Younger consumers are more inclined to sell their old devices, while older individuals tend to hold onto them. The importance of checking the condition and warranty of second-hand phones is emphasized.
