OLX user recounts success story

It is estimated that the value of unused but good quality items stored in Nigerian homes is N512 billion.

The situation is a result of people not realising the value of the unused items in their homes and not knowing how to sell. Some people have the tendency to hoard items with the hope of using them in the future.

In order to help Nigerians sell their used items conveniently, OLX launched Do-It-For-Me, a premium service that helps busy executives sell their items with the help of the OLX Champs who are sales experts.

One of such DIFM users is Nike Majekodunmi, who is a busy wife, mother of three and the CEO of Nuts About Cakes, a full service bakery that has four branches in Lagos.

Majekodunmi said she heard of the OLX Do-It-For Me Service on TV and decided to give it a try when she needed a bigger oven for her bakery.

“Due to my extremely tight schedule, I knew I needed help selling off my old oven very quickly as I had to buy a new one.  This prompted me to visit the OLX Site, to book a Champ. The thought of receiving calls from strangers was not appealing to me,” she said. What she loved most was the seamless process and negotiation on her behalf by the Champ.

She encouraged users to follow the OLX safety tips when using the platform and always insist on inspecting the items before payment is made.

Do-it-For-Me is a premium service that helps busy executives sell their vehicles with the help of the OLX Champs who are sales experts. They handle posting the item on the site, taking calls from buyers, negotiating for the right price and closing the deal.
