Avito - a platform where people themselves determine the terms on which to conclude the transaction. Where you can find what seems to be useless - some stump painted with gold paint, or boxes of cassettes. And you can accidentally come across the fact that collectors are looking for over the years - such as the wooden shell of the XIX century, or running a sewing machine More from Soviet Georgia.

Artyom
Owner loft spaces AG Loft.
I am 32 years old and I own loft spaces in Moscow. I bought at Avito bunch of old things, from sewing machines to the barrels, as well as used equipment and furniture at an affordable price.
Why I started using Avito
Before opening his business, I worked for 10 years in the corporation. Promoted to the post of deputy head of the department, he received a lot of money. But all my life I wanted to start a business and felt the strength to do something really cool.
My unit closes, another opens. I had a chance to move further up the career ladder, but I decided to use the situation differently. I went to work and began to open loft space.
With Avito at this stage, I knew pretty weak - sometimes buy equipment for themselves. Selling iPad and every little thing, but it is I do not like: 100-200 rubles are not wasted time. But, starting to pick up stuff for space, I figured out how to use Avito profitably.
As Avito helps to do business
In the search for employees
Not everyone knows that Avito people do not just sell things, but also looking for a job. Someone not someone good - like everywhere else.
It is convenient to look for people: went to the site to select the section "Operation", clicked on the "Summary", type the name of job - immediately jumped out dozens of proposals.
On Avito I'm often looking for personnel for events. I have a permanent staff, but sometimes they are not enough. For example, I had to look for the New Year corporate parties chef-assistant: Staff could not cope with the load.
In organizing the banquet, you can use the services of the waiters and then cause the cleaner to the next day to hold another event in a clean room.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the applicant will approach you, but usually everything becomes clear in the first conversation. And the risk to you except 62 rubles for access to employee contact.
In buying used items
I bought lofts for stylish and affordable furniture and equipment. A long time ago to find Avito two projectors - both still work. Acquired several speakers. Buying used equipment is often saves.
came out more interesting Furnished: once I arrived at the same sofa for loft space and found that it sells home just closed institution. I found they have a lot of other interesting things.
That's what I like Avito, - the ability to communicate with the seller and get live longer than expected.
The purchase of building materials
On Avito can even find tools and building materials, which remain in people after repair. I myself thought so to save money, but in my case, repairs had to be done very quickly. Wander off somewhere for a couple of bags of cement was uncomfortable. But I know people who do that: buy the baseboards, wallpaper.
In search of rare items for interior decoration
When I began to create lofts, it took me a lot of antiques. I did not want to do the premises, which are similar to the apartments - I created lofts it in an antique style. Buy furniture in specialized stores - a pleasure not cheap. In addition, people often sell them what they themselves have bought on the Internet with it, and simply making money. Therefore, I began to look for furniture on Avito.
Usually, you can not go to someone else's apartment and take what you like. Avito - it is an opportunity to look into someone's world. You can come to a man, know him, look - this process is in itself interesting. I buy furniture is not for resale, and for the interior. Therefore love things with history, I can tell guests something interesting about each of them.
The owners are happy to share the details: "This sewing machine has got to me from my grandmother, who lived in Georgia and moved to his eightieth year ..." This always comes through.
One day I came across an advertisement for the sale of boxes of cassettes for 10 rubles apiece. I thought: "And who needs it?" But it turned out that very soon my room removed by disco-style event - we need just such boxes. Due to the urgency of the request and the exotic, I was willing to buy them for 200 rubles.
Even if you put up for sale is something very specific, you will live to see their hour. How is this guy with boxes of cassettes.
A few tips
- Do not limit your city when you search things. In Moscow, for example, often lift up the price, and in the regions people are selling great, but do not need them things for nothing.
- Check seller account before purchasing. I always try to take things from the owners, not from dealers. They are easy to calculate that if the seller more than 1000 ads in the category, it is likely to sell things at the market price. Perhaps even more expensive.
- Skeptical of sellers who make appointments in the metro. If a person lets you home, most likely, he will not disappoint.
- ask for a discount. Avito - it's a free market, where the price is almost always possible to agree.
