In the wood-based panel industry, prices are completely opaque, leading to inflated prices. The building materials market is notoriously murky. Therefore, it's highly recommended to purchase building materials with someone knowledgeable in the field. According to a seasoned merchant, the same wood-based panel can be sold for 279 yuan in some stores, while others only charge 199 yuan, highlighting the chaotic pricing of wood-based panels.


I. The price discrepancy of board brand products

In the wood-based panel market, the price on the label is just that-a price. Once you understand the general price range, you can find the price you want. According to some wood-based panel manufacturers, many stores are factory direct sales, offering very low prices. However, the listed price can't be too low; if the listed price is low, the selling price will be much lower. Therefore, even after a 20% discount, many wood-based panel brands can still make a significant profit. For building materials retailers, they only need to cover standard expenses like store decoration, employee salaries, and rent; almost everything is income. While prices in many stores across China may seem very low, with a little effort, prices can be lowered even further.

II. How can I find out the lowest price of the board material?

To find out the lowest price for the boards you want to buy, the first way is to consult a construction worker. Construction workers have direct knowledge of various boards and can judge their price range. Currently, there's a severe imbalance between consumption and demand in the market; even a simple board renovation can cost over 100,000 yuan. Researching beforehand or consulting others will significantly reduce potential losses. In addition, when buying board products, try to choose well-known brands. Market research shows that lesser-known brands often have inflated prices and are of lower quality. Thirdly, you can check the approximate prices of various boards online and compare prices at several physical stores. This is the most effective way to ensure you get the best value for your money.

There are many false prices for wood panels. If the price differs significantly from the actual market price, it is suspected of misleading consumers and is an illegal practice. Stores usually need to be reviewed and approved by the price control department, and prices cannot be arbitrarily increased during sales.

Some stores raise prices through promotional sales, but this cannot be considered fraud. Therefore, when purchasing wood-based panel products, it is important to "look more, ask more, and learn more".
