Sulit.com.ph for Kuripot buyer

If you are indeed a Kuripot like me, you would know where to go first when you need to find and buy products locally. Where else but Sulit.com.ph of course! Be it a product, service, real estate, cars, jobs well almost everything. Because of the amount of sellers posting on Sulit complete with rates and prices, it's so easy to sort through. Just pick up the phone and call them up one at a time. That's what my brother did a few months ago when he bought a Galaxy SIII for P20,000 from an individual who didn't like the phone which she got for free with her network plan.
It's not only the Kuripot buyers who benefit from Sulit.com.ph but so does Kuripot sellers. Where else can you have a free storefront where thousands of eyes can see your products both on the Sulit search page and top search engines like google, yahoo and bing? I know someone who sells breeds hamsters who claims to be selling about 2 or 3 hamsters a week thanks to Sulit. Not only can he continue with his hobby of breeding but also earn a few bucks from it. Why not right? But do you ever wonder who is behind this number 1 buy and sell website, Sulit.com.ph? Well, it was founded by husband and wife duo RJ and Arianne David. They were a 2 man team for the longest time - 2 years! Now that's what you call in the startup world as bootstrapping. It's really quite a journey for the couple and the website.

When did you first use Sulit.com.ph? Where do you place yourself in their history? I remember creating my first ad sometime around 2008. Sulit.com.ph has evolved from a website to a household name. It's just a matter of time before it becomes a verb. Look at where it's at now on Alexa Philippines.
 
Looking into the future, Sulit.com.ph is adding more useful features for both buyers and sellers. For one, location is now geo-targeted. So when you search from Cebu, it automatically detects your location and primarily shows you sellers from Cebu who can actually delivery your item or provide he service. 



To protect buyers from bad sellers, Sulit implemented the Sulit Check badge and Feedback Score.
