回血价

• Pinyin: huí xuè jià
• Hanzi breakdown: 回血 (recover HP / recover money) + 价 (price) -> price for recouping cash.

Meaning

A low resale price meant to recover some money after spending too much. It often appears in secondhand listings.

回血价 frames selling as getting financial health back after a purchase. It can mean a genuine bargain, but buyers should still check condition and market price.

Examples

1. 搬家急出，这台咖啡机回血价。 I need to move house quickly, so this coffee machine is going for a recovery price.
2. 她买多了口红，挂了回血价转让。 She bought too many lipsticks, so she listed them at a recovery price to sell on.
3. 回血价也要看成色，不是越低越好。 A recovery price still depends on the condition; lower is not always better.
