This list isn't exhaustive enough. And this will not help in accommodating new deal hunters. Once you have this kind of list, it will be difficult to patronise new deal hunters. And I think the thread needs more than just trusted deal hunters. Trusted is already a past tense, it might not accurately describe what happens in the future. What I think we need is something that can be binding to all and sundry. Both to old and new deal hunters. The use of escrow and paying to known pickers for TLC seems like a safe bet to me.

So are we entitled to drop deals here?

The mentioned DealHunters had to earn their spots on that list. Some of them have gone through hell. Some had to bring very dirty linens to the public eye just to have a resolve.

Any new DealHunter would have to prove their worth and earn their place. That being said, the escrow plan sticks. Few of the DealHunter’s will be voted in as escrows. Monikers will be unveiled once it’s done.

Na so
Oya do the needful

Creating a list of trusted deal hunters also means if they mess up you should be held responsible. We have seen a very trusted guy here mess up, a list is your way of you saying you trust them and when they mess up it also says you helped them scam.

This is a dispute resolution thread i.e when there is a dispute it can be resolved here.

A new thread titled in relation to dealhunting should be created and on the thread a full list of hunters can be listed on the front page. The list should be a collective pick.

I am not a dealhunter, i am a seller but i patronise dealhunters too. No forming.

Success to All.

How's wizzy not on this list?

I feel the best way is to set up a payment system where a third party probably opay or bank holds the money down while both parties wait for fulfillment of agreement......once both parties are contented......credit and debit are both made to respective account albeit for a token......The problems described here reeks of 18th century English market place.......It was solved by banks and it is only banks that can solve this issue..... Let them stop thinking of new ways of making deductions from our account


U guys can talk to some of this new financial setups, they are all just looking for free money and not being innovative meanwhile there are real genuine problems that when solved will yeild them good profits..........


Emmmmm....,,,This is Nigeria �

Your boy loyal oh

When will the previous thread be opened

Good to see everybody coming together to save the future of this small, thriving community which grew to this awesome level because the very foundation was built on trust from the beginning. Nice.

While solutions are being proffered it is also pertinent to take time to reflect on the character & mentality of buyers who've fall prey to the vultures, save for peculiar cases like that of Mcmayor & Perez which can happen to even the most vigilant of us.

A notice should be put up. Any buyer who doesn't adhere to the laid down rules of safe buying, and comes to wail when the vultures pounce on his/her negligence, should either be reported to the moderator for trying to give the business a bad name(just like the Scammers) or totally ignored.

You might think I'm being harsh & unreasonable , but when you sit down and analyse the scenarios for one to get scammed ( in typical cases like in the case of klaasiq and his victim) you'll be forced to ask why we humans atimes can be deliberately stubborn, and in the end carry ourself willingly to the slaughterhouse.

On a normal day, there's no need for new rules because if we're being honest enough, the old rule of vouching alone is almost more than enough to curb 95% of potential audio deals people fall for.

On page 997, 998 abi na 999 sef(forgotten which), a guy quoted a strange monicker (going by popularity standards here) and asked if he can deal with him-- TWICE. This was around 1am or so. I wanted to tell him to calm down till morning when everybody will be awake, why the rush? But I changed my mind. I said let me watch and see.

Can you believe about 30mins later or so, this guy quoted the person and said he had bought it. Like WTF!!! These are the type of buyers I want you guys to warn to strictly adhere to the rules of buying or they're on thier own and shouldn't give this business a bad name. It could also be a scammer perhaps working on the psychology of potential preys. Who knows!

As if scammers are not enough headache, buyers too wan dey give migrane. Biko no na.

Buyers pls let's also learn to adhere to the rules of safe buying and everybody will be fine. Cheers..

On the issue of escrow, please while choosing those who'll stand in as escrow for transactions, emotional intelligence should be one of the major criterias for choosing, too.

Escrow business is not as simple, especially for those who lack the ability to draw inferences and make proper judgement. A complicated situation (or situations) might arise (will definitely arise sef) when buyer wouldn't want you to release funds based on a dissatisfaction that could be technically argued. At the same time, seller might want his money released too, based on a technically of delivering what buyer paid for.

As an escrow, how do you handle this. Inshort to save everyone the headache of a hypothetical situation, let me give am example of what actually happened some two weeks ago.

Seller lists an item for sale. A laptop. You state the core,Ram & processor and that's all. Alongside pics of the item. An interested buyer beeps you. He wants it. You tell him laptop works fine etc. And tell him to ask any question he has, buyer said we good.

But since your monicker is not exactly popular, buyer wants to use an escrow. You accept. The escrow he chooses is a popular seller here who happens to be the one who beeped you to tell you his guy wants to buy your item not too long after you posted your ad here.

You accept. Item is waybilled to Lagos from your state. Buyer receives it and asks why no backlit keyboard. But you never listed in your Ad that it had backlit keyboard. Even when you asked buyer to ask any questions if he had, (cos buyers differ..some nitpick over small details, some don't really care so far it works fine) he never said anything about backlit.

Now this is where a technical argument begins. Buyers says backlit is standard cos according to him he's a guru who didn't start buying items today. You refute his claim that backlit is standard cos anybody who knows anything about laptop knows two same model of the same Laptop can come with backlit and non-backlit. This can even easily be spotted even on the keyboard cos backlit will almost always have a backlit icon somewhere (Like how Lenovo places theirs on the space bar key) .

So how come the guru didn't see this even from the Crystal clear picture of the entire Laptop you showed him?

From the tone of buyer, you have an inkling he's insinuating that you deliberately tried to hide a standard detail from when that wasn't true. You sold him what he paid for. But you weren't interested in dragging an issue and he made it clear that he doesn't want again. So you arrange for your item to be sent back to you.

I forgot to mention that the money had already been sent to escrow account before you waybilled it. You just collected your item back though and didn't bother to try to ask escrow to release money to you when the argument was going on. Not because you would have taken it but out of curiosity. But now I wish I did.

It would be nice to use this as an experiment to see what potential escrows think.

And since your name is on the list, Oga Wolfenstein, I want you to answer too as the escrow for the deal in particular (Dell latitude e7240).... which I eventually sold to someone else. Thanks

dude calm down . People have given solutions . And everyone seems to agree with it , so what exactly is your problem ?

frankmoney:

You didn't even commend ppl that dropped solution, ur own interest is in ur business, that's my problem, as u can see, people that care about others are busy trying to make that thread a safe place, so since u have nothing to contribute, you have to wait and stop asking questions as if the ppl that are dropping ideas don't have work that they are doing.

Pls cc wildchild1 and others proficient writers, do help us summarize the ideas dropped so far.

I'm with..

All new deal hunters must state their Picker in their adverts

Deal hunters must have their whatsapp link in their signature

Deal buyers should asked to be quoted on Nairaland before proceeding to deal with any deal hunter especially those that contacts them on whatsapp

Etc....

From my experience as a seller and a technician, i think this situation isn't too difficult to handle. If the item you sold is not accepted by a customer because there's a feature on a device he supposedly thought was present and finally found out was absent, it should be kindly received back by the seller. I categorize this as an unsatisfied customer. In this business, i believe customer satisfaction is the most important thing and not only the speed of sales. There's negligence on both the seller and the customer in providing enough details concerning the product being sold and bought. However, things can change if the item is returned in a bad shape. So, the escrow must wait until the item returns back to the seller and the buyer pays for all charges; both the escrow fees and all shipping fees. The buyer must accept that he has the most blame and be grateful for the seller favourably accepting back the item.
