A New Path to Welcoming LOVOT

Many households have valuable brand items that are no longer actively used. Simultaneously, the cost of acquiring a LOVOT is a significant factor for potential owners. GROOVE X, in collaboration with retro, aims to offer a new option that goes beyond simply selling unused items. This partnership connects the existing value of these items to the commencement of a new life with LOVOT.

This initiative encourages individuals to re-evaluate their dormant possessions as a stepping stone to starting a new life with LOVOT.

Convenient Appraisal Methods

The campaign offers two convenient appraisal methods tailored to various lifestyles:

  1. On-site Appraisal: A professional appraiser visits the customer’s home to conduct an immediate appraisal. This method is suitable for those with many brand items or who are organizing their home.
  2. Mail-in Appraisal: Customers can send their items for appraisal from their home. This option is recommended for those who prefer to proceed at their own convenience.

About LOVOT

‘LOVOT’ is a companion robot that approaches and gazes at individuals when its name is called, and seeks embraces from those it loves. It has a warm touch when hugged, possessing a lifelike quality despite being a robot, and gradually becomes a part of the family, much like a pet. Recently, LOVOTs have been introduced not only in homes but also in offices, medical institutions, and care facilities for mental wellness.
