iPhone at 25 euros, a robot vacuum cleaner for 30 euros and Nvidia graphics cards for 16 euros. With these prices, Gangazon has become the cheapest Amazon returns outlet in Barcelona.
This store, located 1 hour from the Catalan capital, in the municipality of Manresa, bases its business on the mystery of buying products such as cell phones, cameras or technology at low prices. And the fact is that these businesses determine the prices of the products depending on the day and not on their condition or quality.
Here prices range from 25 euros per product on Fridays to 2 euros on Thursdays. In between, there are days when goods are sold at 16, 10 or 7 euros.
The stock is replenished every Friday and liquidated during the week, so that if it is not sold, the price is also reduced to 2 euros on Thursday.
In exchange for these prices, the customer is not allowed to try the products until after purchase. This measure, which was not such at the beginning, was adopted in view of the continuous breakage of products that occurred in the store. The merchandise that is sold sometimes has a defect or is simply a fully functional return made on platforms such as Amazon.
Apart from the returns area, the store has a surprise package sector, where all products cost 10 euros. In another area, products are sold at fixed prices reviewed by store staff and a 15-day guarantee.
In addition to all these sales methods, the Gangazon store in Manresa holds auctions on special days, and weekly raffles for customers who buy more than five items on Fridays at 25 euros each, in which iPhones or virtual reality goggles have been given away.
A purchase can be free if the customer hits the highest number in the dartboard game: in that case, if he reaches 200 points the first time, the store reimburses the entire purchase.
Gangazon Manresa is located at carrer Lleida 24, with opening hours from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00 hours from Monday to Saturday.
An upward trend
Gangazon is not the only store of this style that has been born in Barcelona. From My Mystery Package, where you can buy surprise Amazon packages by weight, to Prime Deals, which sells returns at reduced prices, the stores where you can find Amazon bargains at reduced prices are multiplying in the city.
