Roopit is a meeting point for us to buy & Sell amongst ourselves. And because no middle men or businesses are involved, Roopit ends up being a lot nicer.
Roopit is crafted to be simple & fast.
Buying
You are somewhere in Central Bangalore (Say Majestic) and want to buy a mobile. One way is to go to the nearest electronics store and pick a new one. The other is to buy online. The third, is to check with Roopit. And there are a couple of ways to check with us.
- Visit www.roopit.com
- Click on the “Your product” Tab and choose Mobiles. You are now seeing all the mobiles up for sale in Bangalore.
- You obviously dont want to go to Anekal to buy a mobile. At the same time, you don’t really mind if the seller is in MG Road. So, lets narrow it down to the central Bangalore area by clicking on the “Find your locality” tab and selecting “Central Bangalore area”.
- Now you see all the mobiles close to your area. They are arranged chronologically. That is, the latest post is on the top. All of them are short descriptions so you can quickly scroll through.
- Even as you scroll, if you like something. Click on the “Want it” button and put it your phone number.
- Continue to browse and find four or five mobile phones you like.
- Once you are done, your will have all the SMSes, with the seller’s phone number and the content you saw on the website to help you re-call who is selling what.
The other way to reach out to Roopit is to call +91-9916-ROOPIT (That’s +91-9916-766748).
- Tell us that you are looking for a mobile phone in and around the majestic area.
- We will then send you a few SMSes with the seller’s phone numbers along with a short description of the mobiles they want to sell. This will help you pick the ones you like.
Selling
Unlike buying, Selling is a lot harder and unpredictable. Your current options are to use one of the existing classifieds website (such as craigslist.co.in) or post an ad in a print journal (like News papers or Free Ads). The other is to reach out to Roopit.
- Visit www.roopit.com
- Click on the “Sell Something” Button.
- Click on “what are you selling” drop down choose Mobiles.
- Click on “where are you selling” and choose your area approximately (Say South Bangalore). It is fine to be approximate. Buyers dont want to travel across the city, but they dont mind travelling from one locality to another.
- Write a short description (140 characters) of your mobile. There is an example there to help you write the sale notice.
- Put in your mobile number and click “create sale notice”.
- Your Sale notice will now appear in the front page, in South Bangalore page and in the Mobiles section.
- If this your first time, ensure that you send a blank message from the same phone number you used while posting. We require you to do this to ensure that this phone number is yours.
- You can now manage this sale notice from your phone. Details on marking the notice as sold, and, if for some reason, deleting will be sent your phone once you verify.
- You will also find a “delete” button for a little while in your notice as well. You can use it to delete it in case you have written something wrong and would like to change/edit the notice.
- So now, we have our job cut out to find a buyer for you.
