As I would be moving out of Bangalore in few days, I wanted to sell my cycle which I bought in March last year. For selling it, I first went to few cycle shops nearby and got the idea of how much they would pay for this cycle. Every one told me that I would get around 1.5k not more than that.
I thought of using different medium to sell my cycle. I first thought of Twitter to sell it, so that people who are interested in it can reply back to me. But that wasn’t good enough no one replied to me, may be my network at twitter is very limited.
Then I posted free ads on Locanto and Sulekha, and to my surprise within a day I got contact of 3 people interested in buying my cycle. In particular Sulekha provides very good service, every time some one clicked on your ad as interested you would get a sms with his name and mobile no. So you can directly contact and negotiate price. Through Sulekha only I found contact of a student who recently lost his cycle and sold him happily for 1.8k.
Next, I want to sell my engineering books !
