The value of this product soared 15 times, and it suddenly became popular!

Recently, a piece of news went viral in Chinese and foreign media: Chinese spittoons became a hot commodity after crossing the ocean, and were given various high-end uses by foreign consumers!

After the spittoon became popular overnight, do you, as a cross-border seller, also want to sell it? If you are ready to sell it, you must be aware of these hidden dangers.

In fact, in addition to spittoons, these affordable and common Chinese products are also popular among foreigners.

The value has skyrocketed, the functions have doubled ... the spittoon has become popular abroad!

Speaking of spittoons, I believe we are all familiar with them. The serious explanation is ↓↓↓

Spittoons are containers for spittoons. Most of them are low, round, and open containers. Modern spittoons are made of enamel, plastic, and other materials. In some areas, spittoons are also used as urinals.

It is such an ordinary product left by our ancestors that has set off a wave of craze abroad.

Recently, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered that there were sellers selling spittoons on Amazon for around US$60.

Yien.com learned that the "enamel fruit basket" sold on Amazon for $60 has been given a wide range of uses, including holding vegetables and fruits, used as an ice bucket, decorating the kitchen and used as a gift.

After reading the product description of a spittoon, the editor was immediately impressed. Chinese sellers are really capable of doing anything. The product description reads: "The charming antique-style design, the retro collision of red and white, takes you back to the 1960s, creating a retro and romantic atmosphere. It is an indispensable decoration for the kitchen table."

I have to say that the seller of this product has a really great cultural foundation. He can make such a spittoon sound so good, it's hard not to make money!

In addition, the seller mentioned in the product description that the "fruit basket" is printed with "beautiful colors and patterns", which apparently represents "traditional Chinese culture" and "symbolizes the happiness of life."

The description also states that the total height of the "fruit storage" space is 24.5 cm, and the diameter is 23 cm, "the large storage space can store any fruit."

In addition, the spittoon has been given more missions. It can not only be used as a fruit basket, but also as a stand for French bread or an ice bucket for alcohol. Some people even describe the spittoon as a container for eating noodle soup!

After seeing the many uses of spittoons sold on Amazon, Chinese netizens were filled with emotion:

Netizen A: Even a spittoon can be used as a fruit basket. I don’t understand their world.

Netizen B: “Spittoon” said he was also confused: When did I become so useful?

Netizen C: I call him an expert. Foreigners’ aesthetic taste is really fascinating. They are always curious about Chinese objects.

Netizen D: This gave me an inspiration. I’m going to sell my suona. We can’t throw away our ancestors’ things!

Netizen E: This wave of operations is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

While netizens were laughing at this wave of operations, they also found a way to make a fortune. One netizen said that cross-border sellers can actually sell peripheral series, such as large porcelain jars and bright red porcelain basins! Another netizen said that since foreigners are so fond of spittoons, why don’t we design a porcelain fruit basket and porcelain ice bucket?

The factory has significantly raised prices, and sellers are following suit?

It is understood that the price of this product on Chinese e-commerce platforms is much lower than that on Amazon. The price of the "spittoon" on Amazon is almost 15 times its normal price in China.

A seller on Amazon UK sells it for nearly 30 Euros. Another seller in Canada sells it for 68 Canadian dollars, claiming that it can be used to put red wine and fruit, representing luxury and nobility.

After the spittoon became popular overnight, its price also skyrocketed. Many sellers expressed their excitement: I also want to go to Taobao to buy a few and ship them to the United States!

A manufacturer who claimed to be a factory direct seller said that the cost of a spittoon was only a dozen yuan before , but now the ex-factory price of a spittoon is 36 yuan, and the number of sellers inquiring about this product has increased significantly recently, and this product in their factory is already in the order queue.

From the manufacturer’s answer, we can see that there are already many sellers who want to sell this product, but the question is: Does this product, which is hotly discussed on the entire Internet, really have sales?

When foreigners learned that what they thought was a "traditional Chinese fruit basket" was actually a spittoon, many began to criticize Amazon, saying it was offensive for Amazon to list a "potty" as a place to store food.

A Chinese seller also said that products that describe traditional spittoons as traditional food containers should be removed from the shelves. This kind of lying marketing is a great insult to unfamiliar customers and will also cause extreme anger among buyers.

Foreign media said that as of Monday morning ( February 22), the listing appeared to have been deleted from Amazon, but its screenshots were still circulating online.

This spittoon screen-sweeping incident also reminded many sellers of an earlier news story: a tea can that was previously sold for 20 yuan on a Chinese e-commerce platform was sold as a pet urn on a foreign e-commerce platform, and the price was as high as 300 yuan.

The seller's alternative approach has indeed attracted traffic, but this behavior also has many hidden dangers. Sellers who want to list this product in the near future should think more carefully and avoid making mistakes.

After searching for "Traditional fruit basket" on Amazon US at 9 a.m., the editor found that there were still several spittoon products on sale. As of press time, the editor searched again and found that there were only four spittoon products left on the homepage. This means that Amazon has begun to take action to regulate this product. Sellers who want to take advantage of the popularity should not join in the fun!

Ma Yinglong, Lao Gan Ma, mosquito nets ... Chinese products are awesome!

In fact, in addition to spittoons, many Chinese products have successfully gone abroad in recent years and are selling well overseas.

A handsome foreign guy once said that what he most wanted to bring back to his country was China's Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment because he believed it was the best medicine in the world.

This product has also captured the hearts of a large number of foreign consumers with its unique temperament. The editor searched "Mayinglong hemorrhoids ointment" on Amazon and saw such a comment under a certain product↓

"Six hours after getting this cream I felt 100% better. When I went to see the doctor yesterday he thought I needed surgery. Thank you Amazon, thank you China, this cream is so useful!"

"I have tried many kinds of ointments and only now found this Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Cream. I am so glad I found it. It is very effective and can cure it. Thank you so much."

Of course, in addition to this Mayinglong hemorrhoid ointment, there are many Chinese products that are very popular abroad, such as the well-known Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, vacuum cupping device, mosquito net, Fengyoujing, Tiger Balm, erythromycin ointment, etc.

These products are the true glory of domestic products!
