People are wicked in this country.

Greed will finish us in this country.

Go to trade fare and see how street retailers are ripping us off big time.

My wife bought her body cream CT+ at the rate 2100 at trade fare yesterday while in our area retailers are selling it for 3700.

Kk brothers soap my wife bought the pack for 7k(6pieces) while one is sold for 1700 by retailers.

Her sanitary pad she bought 1 pack at the rate of 1050 while retailers sell for 1700.

Even strike bitters sachet pack(20 pieces) wey I dey always use console myself i buy for 2000 she got it for 1450.

Note she didn't even buy at carton price but at pack price because if she was buying in carton the price would be lower that than.


Just yesterday I bought a derica of rice on my way back home for 900 around oshodi terminal while the seller in my street is still selling for 1300 despite price of bag of rice coming down.

We are own problem.......everyone is wicked in this country.

The people selling stuff are suffering the same hardship as you are....

Think on that.

Modified

At the end , things cost money after all.

Yes na

See one them......wicked humans

Those selling in trade fare are aliens?? They are not suffering hardship??

How can you buy something for 2100 and want to sell for 3700??

We buying are plucking money from trees

So the goods will fly magically from trade fair to your house? Add you wife's transport to and fro , her refreshments at trade Fair and then you will will understand

As a retailer if you inflate the price of your soap you will also buy expensive rice because you cannot eat your soap. What goes around comes around, you are not making anything extra.

Seriously, why do you people have to be so abusive?

If I called you wicked human, you won't like it.

It's called 'competition'...plus, if there is an ongoing trade fair programme, goods there are very likely to be cheaper...because they are likely direct from manufacturer.

The chaps that sell outside trade fair, they buy from wholesalers. Prices go up

Again, they are also suffering the same hardship. They have to make money to eat, to pay taxes, market dues, etc. etc. And they still have to buy new stock whose prices go up....

Unless you want price control (last time we tried it, we ended up with scarcity and queues).

lwisee:

Yeah, if the prices are too high, after some time, the retailer would be forced to bring it down

(As seen in the perishables business here).

Guy, sometimes the street sellers need to cover rent ànd taxes.

But all in all, even in 6months, they will still claim to be selling old stock.

Abi nah it will cost her 1000 to move each CT + from trade fare to our house cos you know each of those cream is 50kg.

Trying to justify pure greed.....wicked people.

She spent 2k to and fro on transportation.

Although, trade fair cannot be compared to a retailers shop, because of discounts prices. In my pov, retailers are really doing too much sometimes, just to make large profit.

Even at 2100 there is still profit.

Keep supporting evil.
What about the derica of rice he bought at Oshodi for #900 that the neighborhood retailers are still selling for #1300? Look at the gap.

When a shop owners takes cartons of that cream to your area from trade fair,
They pay transport

They pay tradefair dues

They pay those that load it

They pay policemen on the road

They pay local govt Agbero

They pay staff in their shop

They pay for deisel for generator

They pay rent and rent is expensive in that your area than trade fair

Oga the price cant be the same

See there no justification for this pure greed......do know our much my wife save up.

In this my same area we got to found out pure company was selling bag for 300 and retailers were selling for 600.

It won't just make sense for me to snap those things she got and how angry we are with the ripped off since buying from those greedy retailers.

The soap I use i got it for 700 the last time my wife wife bought the pack (6pieces) 2400.

There is a particular sweet she loves the aboki sells 2 50 and even tells my wife he just pity her that he gains nothing selling that price....she got the pack for 450 (40 pieces) inside.

People in trade fare pay tax even there shops is even more expensive....from our place to trade fare she spent 2k to and fro so there is absolutely no justification for such greed.

Those selling in trade fare don't pay all this??

Keep trying to justify rubbish.

You can wail for Africa!
You already know where to get things at cheaper price, so make your choice.

Not surprised you are here....hater of good things.

Few months back you bragged/ salivate everywhere dollar would be above 2k by march .....lol

Shameless.

Well, the cost of things has no respect for one's pocket. If your wife cannot afford x, she buys a cheaper alternative, or goes without. Companies that make the stuff have obligations to the taxman, their employees who always ask for higher salaries, and also there is the import costs, and taxes sellers have to pay in Nigeria. ALl that comes before your need.

In this my same area we got to found out pure company was selling bag for 300 and retailers were selling for 600.

Because, again, the retailer is facing the same issues as you are. High prices for everything. SO, his prices go up, or he cannot feed his or her family.

It's not fair, but that's how life works.

It won't just make sense for me to snap those things she got and how angry we are with the ripped off since buying from those greedy retailers.

Well, no matter how angry she is, things cost money. My old mother will just walk out of your shop if you no bring down your price...lol.

Again, the shege of this APC admin is reaching all of us...it's not like retailers have secret pots of money hidden on their premises.

The soap I use i got it for 700 the last time my wife wife bought the pack (6pieces) 2400

So, you buy a cheaper version, and manage. (Yes, I had to make the choice recently myself).

There is a particular sweet she loves the aboki sells 2 50 and even tells my wife he just pity her that he gains nothing selling that price....she got the pack for 450 (40 pieces) inside.

SO, she buys a cheaper version,or does without (though your local denitst may want her to buy the sweet...he needs customers..lol).

I've had to do without a certain brand of biscuit recently. too too expensive.

People in trade fare pay tax even there shops is even more expensive....from our place to trade fare she spent 2k to and fro so there is absolutely no justification for such greed.

They probably get it from the manufacturer direct...and are probably wholesalers. PLus, competition. Some traders are known to bring down prices to beat their competition

Who knows, many retailers are probably buying from the trade fair people.

So, if you were running a business selling bread that cost you N1500 to bake one loaf, would you sell it at N200 TO help poor people?

Think man, think, and stop shouting evil up and down. APC economy is making many people , businesses included, see shege.

What about the derica of rice he bought at Oshodi for #900 that the neighborhood retailers are still selling for #1300? Look at the gap.

Ever heard of competition? Some people bring down their prices to beat their competitiors in the game. Eventually prices all come down (it's a rule of free market economics).

Well done. I'm not sure you've heard of something called profiteering.

Basic commerce knowledge would've prevented this topic. Please, parents endeavour to give your children sound educational background so we can avoid this kind of topics in future. Thanks

Yeah, which happens because people have to pay their suppliers , their transporter and the taxes.

Oga, things cost money

This would be my last reply to you cause it seems comprehension is a problem here cos I don't understand the talk of cheaper version??

I said the soap I use one is sold for 700 and my wife bought the same soap 6 for 2400 and you saying I should go for cheaper version......you better read calmly and stop justifying what you can't.

So buy a cheaper version.

And calm down . You sound too immature for a married man.

Pecoleee345:


Those selling in trade fare don't pay all this??

Keep trying to justify rubbish.

It's called tradefair for a reason na , things are cheaper vthere because of less govt tarrifs , it's almost like duty free shop at the airport

That's it. You clearly don't understand what profiteering is. Please read up on it before you reply. Thank you.

Oga since you and your wife have discovered this business opportunity why don't you open a shop for her in your area where she can be selling things at tradefair price ? I believe una go make a killing 😅
