Through 100 thousands of used items posted for sale on OLX Oman worth RO22mn under categories including second-hand furniture, home electronics and appliances, OLX has made a comparison between the average cost of the brand new items in the Omani market and the same second-hand items as a step to help people opt for smart deals with less cost during the holy month. The results are given below.

According to the above comparison, purchasing second-hand furniture through the OLX Oman mobile app helps customers save up to 41 per cent of the total value. In addition, people can get other privileges by selling second-hand furniture.

Extra cash may be used for other beneficial things like buying a gift for a friend or an advance payment for a desired item.

Selling items that are not used means getting extra space in one''s house.

One can contribute with others to change the society for the better by exchanging items with each other.

Ramadan is associated with certain traditions and customs inherited through generations, the most important of which is gathering with family and friends.

People prepare for it and they prepare even more for the Eid arrangements, keeping in mind a specific budget.

The latter includes buying new furniture, household items and electronic devices that help housewives finish their tasks in a shorter time.

However, buying new items might be expensive and making a special budget may not be possible.

Abdallah Touqan, senior public relations and communications lead at OLX said, "The OLX Oman platform is the easiest way for Omanis and expatriates who want to buy second-hand furniture as the service is free.
