something like Craigslist in Cuenca?

Post new topic

I'm looking for a good way to offload a google nexus 7 tablet that just came out in the states a few weeks back. I bought it for my  brother in law who then said he wanted an ipad.

I checked out the classifieds on this site but from the lack of posts i suspect it doesn't get much play.

Anyone know of a good site to post an to sell this in the city? I'm still here for two weeks.

I bet you can sell it for a profit on Gringo Tree. However, if you want to sell it for cost, I am willing to buy it from you.

There are some instructions on how to post an ad on Gringo Tree. I will try to dig them up if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

There is a Craig's list for Ecuador.

There is, thanks, but i've tried it a few times over the past few years and find it a deadzone. it isn't as well known here from the locals i speak with.

I agree, try Gringo Tree or Olx.com.ec

Why don't you try selling it on the Gringo Tree?  Every day, there are electronic items for sale and from what I have heard, they sell quickly.  And too, you might say what you want for it.

Good luck from a former Bostonian.
