From the agora to the posts on the internet, the world of commerce developed a lot; the way of buying and selling decided to keep up with the Joneses, accepting to enter in the virtual world.
No more yells, shouts nor complicated dealings and confusion: just some clicks and a bit of patience to find out whatever you want through the thousands of offers that the many users inserted into the sites, putting at everyones disposal wherever he may be just anything: services, objects, products, from private lessons to houses.
Having a look at the internet sites, in fact, you can really find out whatever you are looking for: are you looking for a house? Among the many announcements, youll surely find some houses to rent, or maybe to buy: you just need a click, and here you are contacts, telephone numbers and all you need to have the chance to see some houses, the rest is up to you. But of course you can find any other thing: private lessons of any subject, translations from and into any language, bars selling offs, jobs and everything or better, much more than what you are looking for.
Markets, of course, have their charm: just think of well renowned markets like Portobello Road in London, or Porta Portese in Rome, or simply you own citys market...open air stands, in the square, filled with every king of merchandise, and the crowd massed to catch an occasion...yes. Its got its charm. But to tell you the truth, online sites offer you something more: comfort. You dont need to face up multitudes of people crowding to take the last piece, nor that you get into the crowd to try to win it; you dont need to go out with the rain or with the baking sun, nor to go back home with big and heavy packs: you just need to switch on your computer and, with a few clicks, you can just buy what you were looking for, and it can arrive directly to your home or, choosing the object by area, you can go and see them and then decide if buying them or not.
Its a perfect way, for example, to find out cars on sale, or why not?, to sell yours: the users of these sites are many, and they look for everything; occasions, for merchants and clients, are innumerable. From boats to baby-sitters, there are thousands of chances to buy and sell, infinite occasions to be seized with no need of looking for a place who-knows-where where, maybe, there could be what you are looking for, or something similar...everythings there in your computer, at your disposal, when you wish: either that you are looking for something, or for someone that wants to buy it.
