Buy & Sell Mobile Phones in Kuwait with Q8Phones
Q8Phones is the site for people looking to buy/sell used phones in Kuwait as the name suggests. The site is not limited to used phones, however you will see that this the majority of available phones there. The site design is fairly simple, nice and clean. You will need to register to post your phone ad. You can browse through the available phones without registration. Shall you be interested in a phone? You will fill a simple form to contact the seller and he shall reply back via email then. This is to maintain the privacy of the seller not anything else. I like this concept rather than posting my email or phone number. Registration and posting is all FREE. The site makes it revenue through ads on the side.
Community? There are currently 23 mobile phones only. But I am sure if anyone sold a phone there he will be getting another customer to use the site. Last time I checked there were only a handful of phones. Now there is a bit more. Hopefully, the community will grow. We are one of the fastest mobile changing communities in the world aren’t we?
WARNING:
Although the site owners seem to be trying their best to increase awareness and stop scamming, the site after trying it seems to be loaded with it. From sellers side, you would see unbelievable new iPhone 3G S 32 GB Officially Unlocked for crazy low prices… Clearly a scam.
From buyers side, after listing few items, I immediately received a purchase request from the US that was welling to add 40 KD to the item price to cover shipping. Something didn’t make a lot of sense. The buyer insisted on paying by wire-transfer, saying she was scammed by PayPal. Lots of people would think it’s safe to give away your bank account number to anyone, but BE CAREFUL. This is their way to money laundry affairs and will get you into trouble. If you wanna use the site, stick to local sellers, and cash payments.

I have to admit, the design is the best I’ve seen for a commercial Kuwaiti website. Usually they just skimp on design and give you a crappy, crappy mashup. This one looks very impressive! I kept checking the URL to see if I landed at the wrong page or something.
Who made that, I wonder?

Bojacob: I see the design simple and clean. I am someone terrible at design I have to admit
.
Who created it? I tend to think some indian guy for several reasons:
1- When the site was still new, most posts were from a guy named india something
)
2- No Arabic (Even though I would do that too
3- The strage Kia Ora image at the buttom is definitely not a Kuwaiti or English word
