Few bad eggs here are ruinning the reputation of this deal hunting. Potential customers could be having a second thought, while those that are victimized are prolly done doing business here!

McMayor:
I have been thinking about this lately. Actually I think some names has to be stamped red. I believe there should be rules as then there would be sanity. Imagine Perez sold an iPhone 7plus iCloud locked phone to me. The guy has been running up and down. Infact it has gotten worse that he blocked me on WhatsApp and still went far to use Truecaller to block me from reaching him all because of 105k. I believe if there is a law and rules we all have to play along with, there would be some sanity.

I believe ESROW would be the only way to go. We as Konga & Jumia vendor usually behave as we like until when they introduce ESCROW. You don’t get paid until 7 days when customer don’t complain about item.

Rakiticbarca:
Until we return to how things used to be done (seal a deal and sell the link to a potential buyer, let the buyer continue the transaction with the picker), until then, we will continue to have issues as this.
My candid opinion.

Then who pays for failed pickup sir?

Plus how many Buyers are awake late nights... e.g most mikky pickups are late nights

Cescy:
I need HP LAPTOP N40k is the budget. HMU with your specs abeg.

Pradit:
There are so many disputes going on concerning this
Pickup of a thing and not so many people know how to
Handle this things thereby putting buyer in unnecessary
Stress.i think dragnet should do something about this
There should be some form of regulation on these things.
Where there are no rules there are no sins.so we know.enabling us resolve disputes better

Kreamie:
All these have to stop or brought to its barest minimum. The frequency has really spiked. Here’s my opinion.

1. There should be a dispute thread with the most trusted and reliable guys on here. The dispute thread would really reflect and also show how we’re able to handle matters when things go south. Dispute, in my opinion should not be settled in the advert thread.

2. We should kickstart the star/rating system whereby dealhunters/sellers are rated 5 stars or on a scale of 1-10 according to their ‘performance’..This will sort of pave way for newbies visiting the thread for the first time as well as other prospective buyers. They’ll be referred to the ‘star/rating’ thread in order to have an insight on who they’re dealing with and choose whoever they feel they're comfortable to transact with therein. We also give explicit reviews and feedbacks on the items purchased on that same thread.

3. An Escrow option should be seriously considered. IBL offers such service and Omicpet is also willing to offer such service as we’ve discussed this at a point in time.

Thoughts everyone?

Bro all hands must be on deck because as I got hit recently by some dealhunters here and wetin I go do nah? Locked Phones sold as unlocked, 64gb x series sold as a 256gb and the most annoying part is the long wait and you got served again with something different. now at the mercy of your buyers. Called tirelessly and na the same lyrics of I need to get a buyer Baba or I will help sort for another deal. Is draining.

You mean perezuche abi pzgadgets ?
What is going on here

henrixx:
My suggestions are as follows.

1. Sell deals as links. Let buyer have the option to confirm from seller. Condition of item as well as read descriptions. In the case of failed pickup. Dealhunter should pay 40% of the fee.

2. lengthy nairaland ban for defaulting deal hunters. Meanwhile any complaints without a proof of buisiness being done on nairaland should be dismissed(As some secretly do buisiness on WhatsApp and come here to disturb the peace)

3. Pickers seizing deal hunter items in their posession if any, to force the right actions

4. DO IT YOURSELF. Arguably the best option


Ruled out

Escrow... Do you mean deal hunters should wait 2 weeks or even more to get their money back? Impossible


Rating... Some dealhunters here even worthy of 5 star have been called out. More over this is buisiness, Some would still take the risk even if dealhunter has one star. Infact we see one star sellers on oferrup and we still buy from them So that does little.


Mind y'all... There's nothing that can be done to stop bad buisiness. Somehow, somewhere buisiness will always go bad(reason why we have police stations close to most markets in Nigeria) . These are gadgets which are likely not to always be in perfect condition. There's not much we can do about it. deal hunting can't be stopped cos of the persistent issues here and there. But we are matured enough. We know the right thing. LET'S DO IT.

Lastly taking a huge loss is not easy. But remember your days of winning to ease it.

Like my son Omicpet said, lets have a Jury list, say 3-5 persons to deliberate on any issue here, anybody found guilty should be made to either replace item or refund the client, if he/she doesnt do the needful within the stipulated time, he should be banned forever from conducting business on all sections of nairaland, Shikena

dragnet:

is it every moment that kids quarrel that you spank them? sometimes you sit, watch them and before you know it they've settled and playing again.
And you should know that sometimes I'm fully occupied and sometimes on holidays and is there anything stopping you guys from setting up any committee you think would help regulate things and it isn't a must that I am present in such committee, you're all adults, you may set it up and do whatever you think is necessary, if there's a case, you may treat it and send me the resolution and advise on steps to be taken which I may review, whoever needs to be flagged would be flagged and whoever needs to be given holidays would be given.
