OLX - Wow!

We live in Alkapoor township . Currently staying in a rented place and will be moving to our own flat in next one month .

To make the shifting easier, i started cleaning up , getting rid of un used cloths,items,toys in my home.

As part of this, posted an Advert to sell cooler in OLX. what happened after that created a lot of respect for OLX.

Many people called me to find out the details and negotiate on the price. All the calls are genuine .

One of the person agreed for the price and said , he will take it if its in good working condition, which i accepted.

He came to my home around 730 PM . By then, this family ( he was driving along with his wife) has collected another 2 items ( refrigerator and TV ) from other sellers on OLX and my cooler was the third item for his family's comfort .

After couple of checks and test runs, he paid money and went away and told me ' Bhai, today i have bought 3 items through OLX for my family ' and both the wife and husband were happy with the deals they got and are really excited to use these products for the benefit of their family.

if i imagine a time, back when there was no OLX , families with certain financial constraints could never aspire/enjoy the comforts of many gadgets/household things as the new items are beyond their budgets and there were no used items available.

Of course, the advantage for the sellers is get rid of old items, make shifting easy , replace old items with any new variants of choice. Win Win - for the buyer , seller and facilitator - OLX. 

I would say, OLX is a social entrepreneurship kind of a venture , not sure what was the founders' intent though:)
