My experience - Before and after using Quikr NXT

Some months ago I tried selling my old cell phone through quikr, but after I posted the ad about my cell phone, a lot of phone calls came to my number. Being a professional person, it was not possible for me to attend all those calls and eventually I sold it after a long time. Also my number became public due to which even after the deal was closed, many buyers kept on disturbing me by asking about the cell phone. That time I felt that there should be a chat feature by which sellers and buyers can interact with each other as per their convenient time. I was happy to see that soon quikr introduced quikr nxt. It came as a blessing for me because after the introduction of quikr nxt , I easily sold many of my old stuff at a good price and at the same time my number remained private so I had no tension once the deal was over. I recommended this app to all my friends and all of them are having a nice experience with quikr nxt. I am sure that this app will soon bring a revolution in e-commerce industry.

Why I prefer chat over phone calls ?

The reasons because of which I always prefer chat over phone calls can be summed up in the below points:

- Chat comes with lots of exciting features such as photo sharing which makes deals on quikr much more interactive and easy for both the parties.

-Also chat makes the seller easy to track whether the buyer to whom he is selling has agreed to his terms and conditions. This reduces stress of the seller and also builds a good bond between both the parties.

-Through chat, communication is possible as per the convenience of both, the buyer and seller.
  Also there is no requirement of sharing the number.

So use the quikr nxt app and sell your unused stuff on the go at a good price and without sharing your number. Keep selling , keep enjoying J

My Experience

I was in Mumbai for last 4 years and now my project was getting transferred to Bangalore so I had to relocate to Bangalore.

My Flat in Bangalore had only a bed and a cupboard so I had to buy everything on my own.
As in my job transfers were frequent so I wanted to buy second hand items and was not planning to go for the new brand ones.
Quikr was the name suggested by majority of my friends.
So it was time to explore Quikr.

It asked me to select a city.

As Bangalore was among the popular cities I quickly selected it.

After selecting the city as Bangalore it showed me different options to select from.

  

There were many categories available.

I selected Electronics and Appliances.

First thing I wanted to purchase was TV hence I went to TV-DVD-Multimedia category.

                                      

There were lots of filters available.

1. Product type

2. Brand Name

3. Price

   Also there was an option to set Custom range.

4. Ads posted in time

5. Ads Posted By

6. Condition

7. Ad Type

8. Photos which was an option to select Ads only with photos.

I loved the different filters.

Sony was my first choice.

The custom range was set to 0-10000 and Ads posted in last 1 month were only selected.

                       

I was searching for 32 inch Sony LCD TVs at a good discounted price.

Finally I selected 5 Ads from around 60.

I replied to all the Ads with my message and Gmail id.

Next I wanted to purchase some Kitchen Appliances hence I selected the sub category

“Home-Kitchen Appliances”.
Here I selected some Ad’s which were offering LG refrigerator for a reasonable price.

Also I wanted to purchase Whirlpool Washing Machine so I selected 4 Ad’s which were offering it on a reasonable price.

Finally I was done with my shopping and was waiting for the response from the seller side.

In the meanwhile till the response came I thought to explore the site more.

I thought to post my own Ad and went to Post Free Ad.

On clicking on it I was navigated to a new page where I had to select a category.

After selecting Mobiles I landed on a page where all the details about the product had to be filled in.

This was really quick and easy.

                                 

Also another amazing feature was “Create Free Alert”.

Here I could chip in the details related to the product I wanted and Quikr would send me alerts whenever it was available in my vicinity.

Quite impressive !!!.

The sellers were really friendly and belonged to a good class.
I was really happy that people like me loved to buy and sell things on Quikr.

Quikr Free Shopping Fiesta -An Amazing Experience

I was wondering what I should gift to my best friend on her birthday.
 I wanted to buy a brand new phone for her but she was totally against it as she had already lost 2 Smartphone this year and was precisely looking for a used phone.

Upset by her straight forward no I logged on to twitter to check for any interesting updates.
The first thing I do on twitter is to check the tweets from Blogadda – “Largest community of Indian Bloggers”. It was then when I noticed an interesting activity mentioned in one of their tweet.
It said “Quikr Free Shopping Fiesta”. I read about the activity and found it interesting.
Also now I could buy my friend a cell at a discount which she won’t mind.
Quickly I registered for the activity and waited for the response.

On October 16 I was delighted to see Blogadda’s mail.
The title said “You have been shortlisted for the 'Quikr Free Shopping Fiesta' Campaign”.
I opened the mail and checked out the things to follow and remember.
The points looked pretty decent to me.

My Experience
I went to my hometown for Diwali vacations and came on 30^th morning so had only 2 days for making the deal as the contest was going to end on 31^st.
Also her b’day was on 31^st October so I had just one day to finalize the deal and get the product. Without wasting a moment I started my free shopping fiesta.
Time to open Quickr.

It asked me to select a city.

As Mumbai was among the popular cities I quickly selected it.

After selecting the city as Mumbai it showed me different options to select from.

There were many categories available.

I selected Mobiles & Tablets.

                                      

A window popped up. Exchange your old phone for a new one. Upto 60% discount was available.
This was great. I wanted to exchange mines but before that I wanted to buy one for my friend.
So I kept it for future.

There were lots of filters available.
1. Brand Name
2. Used/New
3. Price Range
    Also there was an option to set Custom range.
4. Ads posted in time
5. Operating system
6. Located in and there were different areas of Mumbai given to select from.
7. Posted By
8. No of Sims
9. Ad Type
10. Photos which was an option to select Ads only with photos.

I loved the different filters.

In the subheading I selected Mobile Phones
Motorola and Xiaomi were my first choice.
Also the custom range was set to 0-5750, Dual sim option was applied and Ads posted in last 1 month were only selected.

                                 

I was searching for Moto E/G or Xiaomi redmi 1S at a good discounted price.
Finally I selected 5 Ads from around 38.

The first one was for MOTO G at 5200.
Not bad at all. I replied to the Ad with my message and gmail id.

The second one was also MOTO G at 5k. Wow !!
Again I replied to the Ad with my message and gmail id.

 

The 3^rd AD was for MOTO E.
Though it was quite far but I replied to it too.

There were two for Xiaomi Redmi 1S. The price for one was 5k and other was 5500.
I replied to both and waited for the response.

                                    

In the meanwhile till the response came from the seller side I thought to explore the site more.
I thought to post my own Ad and went to Post Free Ad.
On clicking on it I was navigated to a new page where I had to select a category.

After selecting Mobiles I landed on a page where all the details about the product had to be filled in.

This was really quick and easy.

                                 

Also another amazing feature was “Create Free Alert”.
Here I could chip in the details related to the product I wanted and Quikr would send me alerts whenever it was available in my vicinity.
Quite impressive !!!.

Finally after no mails or replies from any of the seller, I decided to contact the proud owners of MOTO G as I had no time.
MOTO G for around 5k was a surprise element for me but when I came to know that they are used for more then 2-3 years I dropped the idea of buying them.

I took the suggestions of some of my Tech blogger friends and they told me to go for Redmi 1S if I was getting a month old for 5k.

I called the number whose owner was giving it to me for 5k.
A girl who called herself Monica received the call. As she lived in Andheri East so I decided to meet her and make a deal if the phone was in real good condition.

IT was my luck or what but the piece was in real great condition. After checking it thoroughly and also the accessories I decided to purchase it. I tried to negotiate the price but the girl was adamant to decrease a single penny.
I was content with the quality so decided to buy it for 5k itself.

The very next day on 31^st I gifted it to my best friend and she has already started loving it so much.
Check out the pics here.

                                                             Here is my Redmi...

                                                             I am loving its features

                                                     Just check out my smile when I use it

                                         A bit of charging and the photo session will start again..;)

                                        I don't pose for the world it's just that I love myself

                                                 My Redmi 1s is also one of my cutie pie
