Iya idaya will even say 1700

so u are Idayat? Can I get to see ur pix?

Mum: how much do u sell this cloth ? Seller: customer na 7k
Mum: wetin , 7k for kini? Na shoprite be dis. I beg collect 1k Seller: I beg commot for here, na steal u for steal ham...

That's the sign of a good economist, if you are in Nigeria and do not have the bargaining skill, na sorry be your name. Imagine a seller calling something that you will end up buying N800 for N5000

braine:



You must be a jjc o. Do you know how highly they inflate prices due to this haggling thing? Some increase prices by 100% sometimes and they don't care about you but your money! Wake up, this is Nigeria.

my bro i know..i am really bad at pricing maybe, so if at all i dey go market i take one of my igbo friends along that guy can price die, but i have been cheated countless times cos when dey start to dey beg i go dey feel 4 dem eg when i got one glasses 8000 naira just 4 me to see the same glasses in another place 5000 naira and i ve not even priced it ...

Mum does same...but not to this extent again.. its act of being prudent in spending...was with a Senior Colleague(a male) at a Samsung store @ikeja mall to get a led TV, was surprised he did same there and the price was actually lowered for him abit below the labeled price...had to bear my mind I never knew u could bit down prices in a departmental store of such class...Its just our mum's believe there is always a lower price to every item asides the initial price a seller gives.

I stopped following my mom to market coz of this...coz d seller go dey give u one kind face like *See alaroro pikin*...coz my mama can price from 3k to 300 xpecially when she knows the actual whole sale price of dat particular stuff..She sabi bargain

i wish my wife can haggle like me or my mother,she pays at first price the seller call it.sometimes i prefer going shopping in her stead...not her fault,na me wey dey drop the money.she thinks i be cbn governor.

SirJeffry:
My wife dey vex for me 'cos I'm a pro in this. Learnt from my mum though.

You spoke my mind 100%, my wife dey vex so tey she go leave me commot the shop sometimes sef.

SAMBARRY:

lol

Mums are conservatives, they dont just spend like fathers. They always think about tomorow to keep the family survivng.

You don't haggle prices long with a male seller.
Guys no need long talk, jst pay dey go.
Moreover if you dey into business, even if customer price a goods the price u'would originally sell it. It doesn't mean you'll quickly agree.....stand firm on ur Initial price, if u'v to come down make it seem like u r doing them a favour! #Its a basic selling technique. If u no dey into bizness u no go uderstand

Eye opener. Heard dis from an Igbo trader
If you're not sure of d geniuness of an item. When u bid it for a lower price & d seller tells u. Sorry with dat price u can only get dis make & points 2 anoda stuff in his shop. Dis latter one he says is lower quality is often times d more standard one. Turn ur attention der.(Dey do dis usually 4 electronics)

I'm wondering if We share same mum

JustTara:
Felt haggling was unnecessary and unfair to the sellers, I was always about “how will they make profit?". That was until I started living on my own. Now I'm a pro haggler just like my mum.

my mindset too,but as person dey work for money now.

LOl!!!! It's coz you allow emotions enter into the haggling. Don't think of how the seller feels. Try reducing the price as much as you can! My own rule of thumb is to always slash any price the tell me by 50% first. Then the seller's body language would tell if you should up the amount or slash further.

Negotiating skills is very essential for a man o. A babe would be scamming someone like you wella. The rule is to Always Slash!

Yoruba like trends. Bread pricing started in that region. They can price and use hand select meat and bookoto from mama put pot.hahahahahahaha I hail una

Na N1000 that I buy it last now... Let me give you N1,500

Not just mums, I do it all the time.

Once they agree too quickly to my bargain I either go lower with price or just leave, otherwise I'd feel cheated the rest of the day

braine:



But you have to know how to do it! Its one thing I believe women should have; as its a good managerial skill. Even if you're rich and can buy all the seller's good.

I hate haggling. I am going to have enough money so that supermarket and the village would be my first choice to shop
