After selling over 75 thousands unit, Xiaomi Mi 3 is one of the most popular cell phones of India and its popularity is even rising every Tuesday when it gets available for merely five minutes. The stock on Flipkart.com, an e-commerce portal has gone sold out five times since the launch of the device.



 
But there is a place where you can buy the cell phone. You just have to pay a bit more than the actual price.

If you want to get the device, you just have to visit Quikr or OLX which is emerging as new market for the phone.
 
Sellers from Delhi and Mumbai are selling the phone from the price Rs 15,499 to Rs. 16000.

Sellers are not even ready to bargain, which they have mentioned in their entry at these websites.

This is more business minded that people are selling the phone directly from their Flipkart account cart. They are offering the id and password of their Flipkart account.
 
The idea has gone viral from Metro cities to small city like Ajmer. This chap is willing to sell his new phone on the same site.
 
Even, there is range of prices available on e-commerce site Ebay.in.
 
The phone is offering almost everything in just Rs. 13,999. A fully loaded phone in the budget has got massive response from the Indian buyers. Known as Chinese Apple, the Xiaomi does not even promote the device on any platforms rather the Mi3 has been becoming headlines everywhere.  

Buying the Mi3 is even more difficult than booking a Tatkal ticket on earlier website of IRCTC.com. But now, here you have numbers of online markets where you can buy this phone just by paying a bit more.

With its unique strategy that relies on word of mouth and social channels, Xiaomi has managed to re-create the buzz every Tuesday since its grand entry on July 22. After some number crunching and five fabulous Xiaomi Tuesdays, Flipkart is believed to have sold over 75,000 units. It is quite a high number to achieve in mere one month for a relatively newer Chinese brand in India.

The company has created a frenzy among users with its flash sales that puts limited units up for grabs. All the hype is justified, once we take a look at the specs of the device. For Rs 13,999, the Xiaomi Mi 3 is a steal with its jaw-dropping set of hardware. No wonder, it is being compared to booking a tatkal ticket on IRCTC. You also find a series of tips and tricks articles on how to successfully buy the Xiaomi Mi 3.

Well aware of the frenzy created by the device, not everyone is buying it to own a plush piece of tech. Some are even trying to make quick bucks, and others (foolish ones) are ready to shell out up to Rs 20,000 to buy it. Yes, you heard it right! A look at eBay and OLX and one will come across a series of ads with people willing to sell the Xiaomi Mi 3 that they successfully bagged. Bagging a device is being compared to successfully conquering an impossible task. In fact, we have a series of conversations about buying and selling the Mi 3 in our comments section of Xiaomi-related news.

Most of the ads show a sealed Xiaomi Mi 3 package from Flipkart, and the advertiser claims to have got their hands on two units. Some simply state they don’t need it as they already own a smartphone, and some others call it business. On the other hand, many readers have also begun mocking the sellers. The bottom line is simple – everyone is trying to cash in on the popularity and make some quick bucks. Now, there is nothing wrong with that as anyone who wishes to sell his phone once he or she owns it, can do so. However, the question is would really pay 19k or even 16k for a relatively newer Chinese brand?
