High-tech products, household appliances, furniture… The retail brand now offers items at discounted prices on the e-commerce platform.
A high-tech camera, a bunk bed or even a Buzz Lightyear costume… Among the tons of products offered on Leboncoin, these have the particularity of being sold by Auchan. About twenty stores of the large-scale distribution chain now offer articles on the classifieds website to give a second life to products called “ non-food “. Internet users can buy devices that are slightly damaged but in working order, packaged products, exhibition models or even end of series, with discounts of more than 50%.
“Welcome to our Auchan store designed to give our products a second life and to (re) give you the pleasure of doing good business! can we read on the site. Each store has its own sales channel to publish on the platform and agree on the transaction with Internet users. The customer then only has to go to the store to collect his purchase. “ The teams took pleasure in restoring value to products that were dormant in reserve explains Basile Guérin, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships Director for Auchan Retail. “ The merit goes to them because they are the ones who are in contact with the customers he adds. Customers who can even negotiate prices.
Appliances, furniture, gardening, telephony, high-tech products…. Properties from all walks of life can be found online. The Auchan hypermarket in Petite-Forêt, for example, offers furniture but also items that may appeal to some collectors: a Harry Potter plush, mugs or even a Gryffindor collector’s box. “ We end up with products that we are not used to referencing laughs Basile Guérin. A statue of the famous magician, in real size, is even currently offered for sale by the Mont Saint-Martin hypermarket, at a price of 3700 euros.
