In recent years, with the emergence of many kinds of blind box tide play products in the market mushrooming, both men and women, young and old seem to have begun to have a great interest in these cute and exquisite cute things, especially for children, blind boxes have an attraction that parents cannot understand.
The popularity of blind box products is not only due to its attractive design, but also because parents can't think of it. It is called a blind box because it is not known which specific style is inside it before it is taken apart. Attracted by such uncertainty, if you want to buy your favorite style, you may need to buy several blind boxes, and if you are unlucky, you may have to buy a complete set to get 100% of the style you want.
In addition, the blind box products are basically set up hidden, the so-called hidden model refers to the special style that appears at a very low probability in addition to the basic model, the probability is generally set at 1/144, such a setting makes the value of the hidden model will be far more than other basic styles, the general price of 59-89 blind box products hidden, its second-hand transaction price will reach hundreds to thousands of yuan, and even more will reach three or four thousand yuan.
Under such a setting, the purchase of blind boxes is like the purchase of lottery tickets, once the hidden money is drawn, after second-hand resale, you can make a big profit, using the consumer's game psychology, blind box products will be so popular. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is unimaginable that these small toys with a height of no more than ten centimeters can sell for thousands of yuan, but it is precisely because of their scarcity that their price will far exceed the actual value when circulating in the second-hand market.
In some live broadcasting platforms, there are many live broadcast rooms that sell blind boxes, taking the form of random turntables, adding hidden models to the blind boxes, and determining their attribution in the form of randomly selected numbers to attract consumers to buy.
Due to the special nature of blind box products, once unsealed, it is known that its style cannot be returned, so the live broadcast room is said to be after the turntable, the blind box unsealing does not support refunds, and minors are not allowed to consume. However, there will still be cases where minors use their parents' accounts to make purchases, and parents demand refunds on the grounds that they are unaware.
Regarding whether the consumption behavior of minors is valid, there are detailed provisions in the Civil Code that, in general, the purchase of blind boxes by children under the age of eight is invalid. If a minor between the ages of eighteen and eighteen is not large, the consumption of blind boxes should be valid, and if the amount is large and does not meet the consumption level of that age group, it may be considered incompatible with his age and intelligence, and the parents may apply to withdraw the sale.
However, in these live broadcast platforms, unlike traditional face-to-face offline consumption, it is difficult for merchants to identify the age of the consumers they are facing, and the accounts through these live broadcast platforms cannot reflect whether the consumers who consume are parents themselves or minors.
Blind box such a special product, once unpacked its value will be affected, if the above rules are rigidly applied, it will cause damage to the interests of merchants, merchants often for various reasons to shirk responsibility, unwilling to accept return refunds. In order to avoid controversy, parents should understand what blind box consumption is, and guide and regulate the blind box consumption of minors.
