Shopping Diary Game [27-3-2025] The Failed Purchase That Taught Me More About Business

Bros, you fit reduce am small? Things dey tight, said a young black tall guy with the inscription @nsijoro behind his polo, his tone had a mix of earnestness. The shopkeeper smiled, replying, Oga, na so dey price dey ohhh, i no even buy am for the amount wey you dey bargain.

Greetings Friends, These are the common lauguages you can find in the street of uyo, prizes are being bargained by customers to meet their budget, a seller agreeing at a certain prize is an indication that even if he sells low there is a profit, retailing electrical appliances is one of the businesses i would love to venture into, i even thought of people placing orders online, or as the business progresses, I also thought of running ads that will reach the audience i want within my vicinity. In addition, i can sell phone accessories and spare parts like screen guard, pouch etc.

My shopping experiences today is not about selling but about buying, there is this phone accessories retailing shop that has the quality of the business i desire to own and i often go there to charge my device whenever there is a power outage, it's rare to experience a power outage here, before it happens a circular is distributed across to let people know, so on this very day in a very long time, i decide to go and charge my device and also decide to go around with a friend to see where i could buy an headset within my vicinity, i love music and i wanted to close my ears from any noise especially when i am in online classes, this will make me concentrate better. Remember i had one but the product quality was poor and counterfeit, i really learnt from the purchase although it was a restituting purchase.

Inflation has been a persistent challenge, the naira is fluctuating against dollar and shopkeeper uses this as the basis for not selling at bargained price, they tend to have a fix price and with the Nigerian economy most people don't price products anymore since everything is high. I asked for the prices of the products, and i found out the least price was N12,000, i saw a product of N30,000 and so on, i never knew they had ring light, if not the ring light i bought on February that took an additional 400 Naira for transportation, would have been bought by just trekking down here to purchase it.

In other not to waste their time, i told them i will be coming back for the purchase, my shopping trip today was more of an inquiry of prices, analysis of my dream business and how i could possibly make profit from it, learn from other buyer style of purchasing, understanding the demands and the products to put in stock or budget list, this is a student areas and demands is high for phone accessories, this demands are fueled by rising young tech, every youth in Nigeria is doing something online, either creating content, promoting a web3 project, programming, working for a tech company and lot's more.
