Filipinos are taking advantage of the growing online marketplace to sell their pre-loved items. But did you know that nine out of 10 Filipinos are willing to let go of their exes’ gifts? They’ve got hugot (a Filipino slang which refers to drawing emotions from somewhere deep within) and have been posting their items on Carousell, an online marketplace, to let go of the past.
In a recent in-app survey conducted with about 500 respondents, Carousell revealed that 90 percent are willing to let go of things that belonged to their exes. This is an increase of 30 percent from a similar survey done in 2017.
Selling items on Carousell doesn’t only free users from their exes’ baggage, but they are also making money out of it. Whether these items remind you of your past-relationship, past-job, or even past-self, Carousell is the quick solution for you to let go of things that don’t serve you anymore.
In the same study conducted by Carousell, 40 percent of the respondents said that they are willing to sell their exes’ gifts to let go of the past, 32 percent said that they want to declutter, and 14 percent said that they want to earn extra cash.
Through Carousell, it’s now possible to sell your pre-loved items with a platform that is easy to use, with over 250 million listings as of this writing.
