The Festive season is officially here.

The Holiday season is the time of the year perfect for you to make all those impulsive purchasing decisions you had since the start of the year. Retailers now have excellent deals and you can now buy your favorite items at a discount.

Be a bit philanthropic this festive season and help your buddy clear out items they have hoarded for years via selling on OLX.
