Bosko.ng - bringing bend down select clothing online

Came across this site on Facebook.

http://bosko.ng/

Don’t know who the founder is but seems like a really good idea and a well designed site. Basically bringing bend down select online - an interesting twist on the flood of ecommerce sites entering the Nigerian market.

What do you think?

I have been wanting to do this for aeons now. But alas! I guess their name will be their downfall. :frowning:

There’s hope. Do yours and give it a “better” name.

Judging by the number of clicks, it would seem that there is a lot of interest in uptown “boskoro”

Who is the target market? I don’t think the people who buy used clothes are online. If they are, it will be a small fraction. Let see how it goes for Bosko

Clicks don’t lie :joy:

But seriously, you don’t think they are online? Who are the people selling and buying stuff on OLX and ilk?

Let me rephrase, they are online but I doubt they will buy used clothes online.

Also, these guys might have a problem with stock, if I want to sell my used clothes, I’ll like the cash upfront. Interesting business nevertheless

Reminiscent of the old days.

Do you know why when we do “bend down select” we often stand up to examine the item in sunlight.
Can you give the same experience online.
Most second-used items have grade and people like to select which one still looks a little grade A/B.
I wouldn’t want to buy an item online. find out it is damaged, and i’m unable to return because it is “bosko”

Good thinking though

I think with a good campaign the Founder can attract their target market to snoop on the site. My concern is that the graphics on the site depicts new clothing; and truthfully I will also not suggest flashing Old clothing either. I think they should come up with a better twist.@mrssho

Thanks @jiankang for your suggestion. Bosko.ng doesn’t flash new cloths on its online store. It would be unethical, in fact, grossly wrong, to do that. What you see on the site are true photographs of the products shot at Bosko’s studio. For this startup, integrity is everything.

Great product. However, I would love to be able to haggle the cost of an item. That’s a vital part of the #benddown select experience.

How is the startup fairing compared to dealmayor.com

Saw their Ads on a BRT-bus sometime in August '2015.

Kudos to the team for a good responsive design on mobile.
