Websites You Can Buy Used Cars From Private Sellers In Nigeria

The rate at which Nigerians sort after cheap used cars to buy is quiet alarming. Buying used cars sure saves you some amount of money but then, for peeps like me who love getting things done online, it would be nice to buy from the right sources.

I Quite understand that most people are looking to buy from private sellers or owners instead of going through dealers. The bitter truth is, most cars sold online are done by the dealers, however, there are some real honest sellers online looking to sell their used cars which no longer have a use of.

If you have been searching for websites online where you can buy cheap used cars online, then I have got some to share with you.

Sites To Buy Used Cheap Cars Online Via Private Sellers

Nairaland Autos Forum:

As you probably know, nairaland is one of the biggest online forum in Nigeria. Having said that, the forum has got a wide range of sessions which fit in to most discussions that concerns our every day living. One of those sessions is 'Autos'. Full meanings of Autos is Automobile and on that forum, cars are mostly talked about. Not just talking about, buying and selling can be done on that session. I bought my first car last year from a seller which I got in contact with on Nairaland Auto Session.

OLX.com.ng Cars Session:

Yes, this isn't my first time of taking about OLX Nigeria MarketPlace. Even though I had initially said that there are lots of scammers on the marketplace, there are still some sincere and honest people trading on the platform. Upon visiting olx.com.ng, there is a car session and under that, you'd find lots of people selling their cars. In such cases, I wouldn't advice going for brand news cars on the platform as 'most' of them are scams. Especially for those with offers too good to be true.

Tradestable.com.ng

Just like OLX, tradestable is another online marketplace. Its also got wide sections ranging from mobiles to cars and more. Its just an online marketplace like olx hence, there are possible scammers on the website. Just be sure not to go for offers that seem too good to be true.

So far so good, these websites are sites I can recommend to which you can buy used cheap calls from. Not just buying cheap cars, but buying from direct sellers.

Safety Tips When Buying Used Cars Online

Having disclosed these sites to you, you should be aware never to send any money to anyone over a car you intend buying.

If you should get in contact with anyone and he tells you to send any amount of money whatsoever, just bang the person off your phone and stop chatting with him. That's an obvious sign of a scammer.

You should meet the seller on a face to face agreement. Properly inspect the car and the papers before closing on a deal. If you are in Lagos, I would recommend going with a VIO officer or an officer who can easily spot fake car document from the legitimate one. After all, if the deal is clean, the seller shouldn't be scared about anything or you coming with anyone.

One more thing, if you are meeting with the seller, please endeavor to meet in public places and try going cashless.

Buying cheap cars online in Nigeria is very much possible. With the tips above, you should be good to go.

MTN BIS On Computer, Android and iOS Blocked, Other Cheap Browsing Method

Just when we thought MTN Bis plan working flawlessly on PC Computer, android, iPad and iPhone has come to stay for a while till perhaps the FIFA world cup was over, hopes were short lived. This seemed like airtel free browsing cheat on PC and android which didn't last long. It seem like these mobile telecommunication companies are up to frustrating youths by blocking every browsing cheat or tweak that is been discovered one way or the other.

Oh well, thank God for the fact that they didn't take what I would term as 'cheap browsing' away from us. If they eventually do, I would perhaps turn most of my sims to answering machine.

Without much talk, the point is, the most recent tweak which allows the use of mtn bis on PC via the use of PDProxy, android via droidvpn, iPad and iPhone via openvpn, have all been blocked. This blocking isn't specified to these vpns alone. In general, mtn bis no longer work with VPN softwares. At least, not for now.

Having said that, lets revert to the only cheap browsing methods we currently have and that's the use of airtel bis and glo bis. Yes, I know you are aware of those but those are the cheap browsing method currently working.

Cheap Browsing Method Currently In Nigeria

I personally get 12GB of data for just 4000 per month compared to normal data subscription which could go as high as paying 5000 for just 3GB of data. Take my advice, stick to using glo or airtel bis on your PC, android or other devices. If airtel isn't good in your area, then move to glo. But if both network isn't good in your area, then you might as well start making plans to packing out of that hood o.

Use Airtel BIS ON PC, Android, iPad and iPhone

This isn't new. You probably know about this. A normal bcm code sent to 440 for monthly bis subscription could be used on computer, android, iPad, iPhone or any other device flawlessly without having to undergo any special settings.
For more information on this, please visit http://www.trueinternetworld.net/2014/05/how-to-use-glo-and-airtel-bis-on-pc.html.

Use Glo BIS on PC, Android, iPad and iPhone

Using Glo bis on these devices based on my usage so far, requires a bb10 phone such as a Z10, Q10, Q5. Just subscribe to glo comonth monthly plan, turn on the hotspot feature on the blackberry phone and connect whatever device you want to browse on via wireless.
For more information on this, please visit http://www.trueinternetworld.net/2014/05/how-to-use-glo-and-airtel-bis-on-pc.html.

When any new free browsing or cheap browsing comes up, I will definitely share it with you here on trueinternetworld.

OLX Nigeria - Beware Of Scammers On The Online Marketplace

Its been quite some time now since i have always wanted to talk on olx nigeria and scammers who are obviously trying to bring the reputation of the online marketplace to the muds. If you are an internet researcher who have always sourced for buying and selling things online, you probably would have heard of OLX.com.ng.

The site isn't new. No, not all all. Its been existing for a pretty long time now although rapid explosion was just put to place sometime ago. Initially, when i first knew of olx nigeria, it seemed interesting to me. I actually loved the innovation behind the website.

OLX website isn't just present in Nigeria alone, its even present in the US alongside other few countries. OLX was created as an online marketplace in which, anyone could sell their used belonging to interested buyers.

As at when i first knew about OLX, it was pretty comfortable and 'almost' scam free but for some couple of months now, the reverse as been the case. I recall buying my Tecno n9 android tablet from a seller who posted the ads on OLX. We bargained on the price over the phone, meet one on one and sealed the deal. It felt awesome because i bought the product at a more lesser price than what it was been sold in the market.

Beware Of Scammers On OLX Nigeria

Couple of months back, i wanted to buy a used Blackberry phone for a friend, there were loads of devices which obviously met my specification but what amused me was the prices attached to what were described as 'Brand New'. You can imagine a situation whereby a Brand new Blackberry Q10 is going for around N30000.

At first, i felt a little skeptical but you know what the elders say: 'A Trial will convince you'. I decided to give the seller a call. In the course of our conversation, he was like, i would have to pay an upfront payment which was termed as 'Commitment' before the phone can be delivered to my doorstep. At the sound of this, i asked 'Oh really?' and he said yes. In my kind attitude, i told him thanks but i don't indulge in such deals and he said that's how the company operates.

That's just an instance. Couple of other deals i perceived as scam always acted in like manner. People as these are now all over OLX. Going from cars, to Electronics and others.

Safety Tips For Shopping On OLX Nigeria

Scamming is something no one has the power to control. However, everyone has the power to prevent been scammed. I'd believe only greedy people can be scammed in most cases(Forgive my instinct if i am wrong).

• OLX always state on its website that she shouldn't send any amount whatsoever to any seller for a product you intend buying. 
•  OLX recommends you meet with the seller in an open place, properly check what you are buying before making payment and leaving with your product.
• Forgive me if am been biased, but OLX was created as a market place for sells of used or 'no longer need' belongings and it's only advisable to stay at that. Most brand new products flagged on the website are scams.

If you must buy brand new products online, you should look at other places like Konga, Jumia and a couple of other sites which promises payment on delivery for its product.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Its better to what some credit on airtime in getting full details on how a deal is done rather than send money that's obviously gonna end up in voice mail.

Now for the OLX team, i understand that ads posted on the website are moderated before been posted. I would advise that the team stick to approving and publishing only used products rather than approving brand new products everywhere.

Amongst all this, OLX Nigeria still rocks. I love the innovation but more security measures needed to be put in place to reduce scamming since it cannot be stopped.

If you actually used the last month's (june 2014) airtel free browsing cheat on PC, then you should already have PDProxy software up and running on your PC Computer. If you haven't downloaded it before, you can download from their official website here.

July 2014 Method To Using MTN BIS On Android Phones With DroidVPN

Hello Buddy, First of all let me wish you a Happy New Month as we step into the second half of 2014 and in same vein, introduce you to the July 2014 Method on how to use MTN BIS subscription on android phones using droidvpn.

During the course of the months past, we have experienced a few free browsing tricks. The most recent was the airtel free browsing cheat rocking on both PC and android which lasted a couple of weeks before airtel engineers woke up from their slumber which we thought would last more longer.

Either ways, life goes on. Glo and Airtel BIS subscriptions have been rocking perfectly on android and PC devices and now, we'd like to introduce that of MTN Nigeria.

How Do I Use MTN BIS On Android?

First and foremost, you will need droidvpn application installed on your phone. Just launch the Google Play store app on your phone and search for droidVPN.

Please note: For devices running android OS below 4.0, you will be required to root your android device. For android OS 4.0+ device users, you are good to go.

Steps:

==> Launch the DroidVPN app and navigate to settings.
==> Click on connections and choose TCP
==> Having done that, configure using the following settings:
==> UDP as 53, TCP as 5222
==> Bind Local as 1100
==> When done with those, Go to Http Header settings in droidVPN and configure using the following parameters:
==> Host: web.blackberry.com
==> X-Host: web.blackberry.com
==> Enable Proxy and tick enable IP, Proxy should be 10.199.212.2 and port should be 8080.

Now, configure your android normal internet settings using the following settings:

APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
proxy and Port should be left empty.

When done configuring using the steps above, you can now use your ongoing MTN BIS Subscription on your Android Device. If you are thinking of subscribing to MTN BIS to confirm this trick, i would advice you start out with the daily BIS Plan.

Based on information, the MTN Daily BIS plan gives 3GB and goes for N120 and monthly BIS plan gives you same 3GB. However, please note that DroidVPN trial account is capped with 100MB daily while premium users can surf unlimited till their grandfather calls them and decides to go off the internet.

In subsequent post, i will be sharing with you a trick on how to use droidvpn premium server for free.

For glo users, GLO BIS Subscription still rocks for PC, android and other devices with wireless feature. Just follow this post to learn how to enjoy glo bis on PC, android, iPad and other devices.
