Why is Nexus 5 Sold For 95k On Konga? by Nobody: 1:59am On Dec 30, 2013 |
Going at a global unlocked rp of $399 for the 32GB model, which converts to ₦64019.55 as at the time of this post, why the hell is Konga.com selling the product for ₦95,000? And they even made it seem like they cut down the price from ₦114,500. What is wrong with these people? Why will they coontinue ripping us off? Attached is a screenshot of Konga's website as at the time of posting, showing LG Nexus 5 D820 White selling for ₦95,000 1 Like

Even with shipping and everything.. It shouldn't be more that 70k. That's a big rip off if you ask me |

Most phones are more expensive in Nigeria when they are just released. This is because there is high demand and low supply at such times. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Seun: Most phones are more expensive in Nigeria when they are just released. This is because there is high demand and low supply at such times._ Really? So expensive that the go for double the price? What kind of demand and supply is that? This is pure daylight robbery!!!!? |

Seun: This is known as profit. You pay a little bit more for the benefit of getting the phone earlier._ I was not talking about the 95k, I was talkin about the 114.5k it was sold for before. That's almost double. And even the 95k is A LOT on the high side. 65 I can deal with, 68 I can deal with. Afterall I'm not the only person that's gonna buy it, so why should they make all their profit from me? |

SimonAndal:Why should they sell it to you at 68k when there are other people willing to buy it for more than 95k? If you want to pay less, then be patient! 1 Like 1 Share |

Seun:_ It's those guys that are willing to get ripped off that cause these sort of things. Try this in the US and the FTC will have your arse for brunch. And btw, I thought our CPC was there for something...guess I was wrong. |

SimonAndal: To be candid, Its really expensive but I think they are also trying to make their profit like Seun said... And do you know that despite the ₦95,000 price tag, so many people will still rush it from them ? That's why Smart Tech guys can just use that as an opportunity and import / ship Smartphones like Nexus 5 and others from Amazon, Best Buy etc... and sell it for like ₦85,000, ₦80,000 or even ₦75,000 and still make their own profit too |

Seun:Pls i got this samsung galaxy s4 this morning, not brand new but "London-used". The issue i have is the phone is stocked on 2G as when i go to Settings>>mobile-networks, it will not change from "gsm only" to WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA(auto). Kindly assist me cos i have been going up and down google, android forums, youtube etc;and solution that seems to work for others refused to work on mine. I had to fall back on tethering wifi from my galaxy tab just so i can open a web page on the Galaxy S4 with no High BP. I am using Airtel on it and the sim seem to have 3G provisioning cos i tried on two other devices and the "H" sign with arrows pointing up and down was on the screen and the speed was fast. Kindly assist me pls before you guys mourn another nairalander (though some who see me as a menace will be happy if i Should "Proof vemuz SOB" ). Counting on you sir |

Don Demu: Cut the crap yourself guy. Had the same problem on my nexus 4 wen I bought it. Dial *#*#4636#*#* choose d 1st option and again d 1st drop down. There you go. Choose WCDMA only and will never see your crappy EDGE/GSM again. |
