I have been here trying to prove my integrity for months, I have had deals on Nairaland with no single report of crime which anyone can confirm. All these times that I sold phones, not one single person called me out as a scammer. Why should I start now.

You guys should remember that I'm still a human being and I have emotions. On a day I just want to celebrate and have fun, someone came for me again. Why can't he let today pass and come back tomorrow

Thumbs up for Antirust.

soonest:


Please enjoy your day and be merry.
I don't know why it seems people are being unnecessarily hard on you. You make 18k doors, I never saw where you said you can make 50k doors for 18k. O gini di?
Meanwhile happy birthday

michlins:
this is sample of the door I described. All these printed designs doesn't come as 14guage pan rather they come as 18guage. Anywhere you see those printed designs, they are simply 18 guage but that's not what your welder will tell you

n3xt:


35k

Me I no too dey like designs.

Muyi002:


Yeah, it's ensuite.

A contractor on nairaland has proposed 2200 per sqm for 0.55. However I am seeing another person who will purchase from Lagos at 2000. What I have is a total of 400sqm

I am doing my findings carefully.

Below are my calculations
Aluminium -Step tiles from Lagos
General 0.55mm = 400sqm @ 2200/ 2000= 880000/800000
Ridge Cap = 70 metres @ 800 = 48000
Gutter Valley = 10 metres @ 800 = 8000
Parafet = 6 metres @ 800 = 4800
Nails and other accessories = 25000
White 11/32 = 3 lengths @ 1000 = 3000
Transport = 50000

Nice!

Me I don’t like prints.

dongc:
Dont take my word sir....but why do you want 0,55mm steptiles?? This is really unnecessary...0,45mm would do the job jeje...residential buildings like this 0,45mm aluminum sheets are just enough for it..obviously its your build and money...you can spend however you want...just my 1kobo comment ...welldone

mrsteel:

My brother seems u are new to this thread?
Can u stop wasting your time on those two empty things? Do not let what they say move u oo. They are full of mouth! Continue marketing your work, those that will patronise will do so. Don't waste your time trying to convince engunmoaji & brabus(next), they have nothing to offer u. If u were here when this thread started, u would know those two! If u like, continue wasting your time on them, na u sabi.

Those that patronize vendors here don't make noise about it!

michlins:
I'm new here. I describe my work because I know who will patronise me is at the background figuring out the difference between different doors and why their cost varies. The questions they ask helps me explain those things.

I think calling them empty heads is a bit of an over reach. It's the internet and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

What I hate however is Egunmogaji calling me a scammer without proof. It's a faceless forum if not,he will have to prove it to me how I am a scammer or provide whom I have scammed before. Libel is still a crime everywhere in the world

EgunMogaji2:


I've never used steptiles just longspan so maybe that's why but I find that .55 gives crisper lines and doesn't crumple too much.

Could it also be dependent on seller/manufacturer?

mrsteel:
Please if u are a vendor here, so long u have no intention to defraud people, do not let anyone intimidate u or call u any unprintable names. No one have the right to call u fraud, if no fraud case has been presented against u by any member here. Because u seek patronage doesn't mean u should accept any bullshit thrown at u.

Some years back, I saw a N2,000,000 door (close to pic 1 below) at Swiss Trade, VGC Lagos. I approached the local carpenters at the sawmill in Ijebu Ode/Itokin road to make a similar door for me at a very ridiculously cheap price.

A lot of people felt like it’s impossible or the materials used for the door are inferior. Of course, I got my hinges, locks and handles from quality hardware store I didn’t take a gamble on that.

Interestingly the door is still as good as a new one in my kitchen.

Did people agree with me? No!

Is the door serving it’s intended purpose in the house? Yes!

Did I pay N2,000,000 to get almost the same door? No!

Was it the same finish? Absolutely not but it’s good enough for the intended purpose.

I know there are people who can produce good doors half the price. The challenge is they don’t carry tag.
So I believe it’s possible BUT you need to know what you’re bargaining for and the areas of compromise.

_____
Sorry I won’t be able to tell you how much I made the door but if you search you’ll find. It’s on one of my thread.

Ridiculously cheap at Ijebu Ode Sawmill.

n3xt:


Don’t be angry with us.

Here if you offer us something at a ridiculously cheap price, we will ask you “How much for the original one?”

It’s left for you to convince us beyond reasonable doubt that you’re right and we are wrong.

That might require you sending a sample down to Ibadan for us to dissect

That’s who we are over here! We are not mean

n3xt:


You’re blessed!

Grow through what you go through
Whatever challenge you’re going through right now should teach you how to serve your customer better.

The major difference between me and you is that you don’t have convincing evidence. And that’s fine. We start somewhere.

All the doors I’ve shared aren’t on my client’s project. I do them as DIY so that I can be showing you every details as you’re requesting for them.

Don’t run away from the things that’ll shape you in life. And don’t be sissy!

omanzo02:


Don't let others perception get to you or discourage you, you know yourself better, whether a scammer or not...... there's nothing wrong making product at cheaper rate below others expectation...... One businessman want make 100% profit while another may decide to make 10%, it just business strategy.

JustCryptos:

This was done for 35k? When?

michlins:
if you have 40,000 you wish to spend on a single door, here's how you can get it.

1.5mm 3by1½

14 guage plain pan

16mm pan for frame

1.5mm ¾ square pipe

Foreign hinges and bolt

Anti rust will come first before normal painting

I don't see your local welder doing the bolded at all


Give me a chance to make at least one sample for you. If I fail to impress you, take your business elsewhere. If I impress you, let me do the rest at the place of your choosing.

megacontrol:
Absolute crap!

And this coming from same set of people that'll write about innovation, development, exposure, doing things the standard way, following best practices and all other load of BS.

Is this how you engage or scrutinize a service provider?

Even if this is the kind of behavior expected of the regular guy on the street, i thought you guys are supposed to be different and classy?

dongc:
Wait a sec... are you not same guy here on spyders thread below...telling me that my door to my kobo kobo house is cheap and dated while I and oga kopell were pointing out that laser machines and newer technology in your line work would improve prices and that over spending and overkill doesn't mean quality....

so you are also selling cheap doors now �...this life self ehh.

So I am not the only one who wants functionality...if it is cheap why not...

EgunMogaji2:


I will always challenge your prices when you don't specify exactly what you are selling and try to pass it off as that your prices are better.

You are making inferior products and trying to pass it off as being equal to those costing more. You don't use stronger pressed top and side frames.

Just simply advertise that you make low cost doors. Those doors are available all over Nigeria, you're offering nothing special.

How many of those doors have you sold on here? Personally, I think you're a fraud at best but maybe just an ordinary scammer.
