If you’re looking for an easy way to purchase a ticket to a sold-out Miley Cyrus concert, or a reservation to an exclusive restaurant that’s just opened up in your neighborhood, you might have a hard time finding the right connections to get what your looking for. Enter Zaarly, a unique platform that gives you, the buyer, the opportunity to buy and sell in real time by requesting for a product or a service along with the price you’re willing to pay for it, and the time when you need it; and Zaarly connects you to the person willing to provide that product/service.
