“Products 25 to 30% cheaper”: in Chilly-Mazarin, Fnac Darty is betting on the second-hand sector

A refrigerator sold at minus 28%. A washing machine at minus 20%. Or even a 2021 smartphone offered at less than 48%. The bargains to be seized parade on the pages of the Darty website. All of these devices are used items. For four years, the Fnac Darty group — one of the European leaders in the distribution of cultural goods, leisure and household appliances with a turnover of more than 8 billion euros — has been surfing on a booming market: that of second-hand products. And it works.
