I’ve had many fellow bloggers recommend online classifieds as great source to find vintage and unique items and clothing.  I tried it out, but with many of the sites, there are vague random listings, few pictures and the risk of being kidnapped.

I was recently introduced to OLX, a site that is more similar to Ebay or Shopstyle. Listings have a gallery image to allow for easy browsing and prevention of  unnecessary clicking.

Check out this vintage style jewelery I found:

Another great use for online classifieds is job hunting. Whether your looking for professional gigs or something part-time they are a great resource! Sometime a fashionista’s secret weapon is her sales representative  job where she can stay on top of the trends and save money with the employee discount!

Online classifieds are more than just a way to find a unique vintage handbag, but remember all the various career, wholesale opportunities and local event listings.

Some of the cool features that sets this site apart from its competition:

• Easily design rich colorful ads with pictures and videos
• Control your selling, buying, and community activity in My OLX
• Display your ads on your social networking profile (Facebook, Myspace, …)
• Access the site from your mobile phone
• View OLX in your local language

Happy browsing!
