Manuela Macedo, 24, has no patience for shopping and loves to dig for pieces at thrift stores. Now, use the Internet to buy exclusive products, used but in good condition, and of course much cheaper. As a resident of the studied area, who purchases items for semi-new web spends up to 79% less compared to a new merchandise.
This cost reduction can be observed, for example, in the book "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, on the site Virtual Bookshelf - at a cost of R$ 5 - in relation to the amount charged virtual page Saraiva Bookstore (R$ 23,90).
To successfully save the designer Manuela explains the secret:
- Live digging. Researching on various websites and when is cheap, buy a mobile and I leave with my face, reformed my way. Old parts have a superior quality, with good wood, and often are sold for pittance sites like OLX, Free Market and Good Business - teaches.
The financial educator Reinaldo Domingos remember that this form of trading is a trend and highlights its advantages:
- Bring a used product is good for the pocketbook and the environment. But in the case of some of them, like electronics, it is necessary to redouble care, because the consumer will not have warranty.
The coordinator of the Brazilian Consumer Defense (Protest), Maria Ines Dolci, points out that the purchase transaction between two individuals - as these sites - can not be considered a consumer relationship. In this case, do not apply the rules of the Code of Consumer Protection (CDC), and the client does not feel aggrieved may appeal, for example, the Procon:
- In case of problems, you need to go to court as a Small Claims Court, based on the Civil Code - highlights the expert.
'Sell web addiction'
Pietrobon Gláucia Lemos, 26, is a fan of sites used. The fourth son, Levi, age 3, was completely furnished with pieces advertised on eBay:
- The cradle was beautiful but needed adjustments. Do not think twice: I sanded and painted. I did the same with other parts of my house.
A resident of Governor's Island explains that clothes bought over the internet are common in her closet and child:
- A jumpsuit for babies, sold for $ 25 in the store, get a $ 5 on websites. I recently bought a denim vest for me on the internet for $ 25. At the mall, the piece costs $ 99.
The jewelry designer also decided to let go of things that no longer useful to the family, offered for sale on the site I got sick.
- I was surprised with the return. I made the page in January and has since managed to R $ 3,700, selling products which no longer used. I'm loving it! Sell addictive! And I got more money to spend - jokes.
