Sorry for that, bro.

PointZerom:
If you don't trust an artisan and his/her price, go elsewhere. Never be tempted to try buy materials for yourself".


I disagree with you on this. I buy almost everything by myself. All I needed from him is the type of material he wants and if I make my purchase and he rejects it I will tell him to use it like that or fvck out.

I am into building materials two of my senior brothers are into auto parts and electronics/electrical parts so it is almost impossible for any artisan to beat me in the game.

He is talking to novice like us who knows next to nothing about mechanical parts and building materials.
And not to you people who deal in them and sell to us; and ARE THEREFORE IN COHORTS AND COLLUSION WITH THE ARTISANS TO CHEAT US.

Thank you, but that money was of help to me at that time.

the money can only meet temporal needs, what happens after then? what about the permanent needs? what about heaven? what about rapture?

Lol, seriously, you make me to laugh. Guy, you've been cheated countless times. Keep deceiving yourself. Bye bye

These kinds of carpenters will always be the underdog when it comes to roofing, they can't even roof their own houses, be honest and see how Nature makes its way in your life in your chosen profession!

Gbam ! You have said it all.

You think that everyone is as mumu as ..
90% of the phones I have used I didn't buy them here in Nigeria.. In fact I have four phones now in my wardrobe..all given to me by friends and relatives that came home from Europe and America this Christmas.

I repeat, No artisan can beat me in this game.

NoToPile:
But what of honest customers who just want good quality and take the carpenters there to choose the best so just pay on the spot and load into the vehicles but they still collide with the sellers to rip of the customer.

It happened to my mum once. This man was the trusted carpenter, handled all the carpentry work of the house from foundation down to roofing, whatever he recommended as good was what she bought, she just pays the seller.

So it got to the doors level as usual they went to pako together and he stated the one that was okay, price was haggle they all negotiated together and they agreed on a particular amount and she paid, and the doors was loaded about 20 doors or more.

The next day, she now remembered she wanted to buy a key for the house she's presently staying( she stayed with one of my cousins living in the area the project was) she bought the keyset and then just out of curiosity prices the same door from the same seller and low and behold the asking price for each door was about 3- 4000 naira lower than the amount they bought the guy didn't recognize her she now introduced herself the guy was shocked to the marrow then the elders there were now like that's what we always warn them about blabla.

She just called the carpenter and told him thank you for purchasing at xyz price loool. This was like 8 years ago. Meanwhile my cousin that introduced him to mum told her that she shouldn't use him again because he had changed that she noticed it when she recommended him for another roofing project around but because he roofed her place 2 years before that she still trusted him so she withdrew him from the job and future contracts.

This is someone that because he does a good job he charges slightly higher than others but peeps still don't mind. He lost his customers in that area.


The point still is at the end of the day, nature still has a way of collecting it back. Few months later he fell from scaffolding and broke his legs, that was the beginning of his problems he never recovered since then and the said house has been completed since.


Personally I would never take any artisan to buy anything, lots of them are rogues.

Very true. Unfortunately, some people seem to only think short term and they pay for it.

Evening sir. What you posted isn't the issue but 'how'. I expected to see ,"Noted" from you cos you have been on Nairaland for a while... Anyway, people are different! Have a pleasant day.

[quote author=MISSCONGENIALITY post=85573023] but is that how it supposed to be. How can you say someone following you to the market to buy things for his own work is making the artisan stupid.
The only time you should blame a customer is if you work and he doesn't pay you or pays you less than what you two agreed on.
Some artisans are so wicked that they will steal from you more than what you are even paying them. And when they meet someone who already know their trick they begin to do a substandard job or waste the materials out of bitterness.[
Some will not pay the agreed price.they often see artisans as illiterates who can be exploited easily

[quote author=Ballack1 post=85589332][/quote] That's not true. Not all artisans are illiterate and most illiterate ones are still good in what they are doing.
But the question is, should they steal from their customers because they are seen as illiterates.
This has nothing to do with illiteracy. Most of them might not be university graduate but they have the knowledge of how to dupe, and steal from their clients.
Why not just charge and forget about how much the person buys his materials.

FuckAllTheMODs:
Nonsense, nothing like the price you pay for blah blah blah...

If you know the right place to get the goods/products and how to go about it, then you're good to go and also if you get good workmen and ensure you monitor them when buying the goods/products.
I would have given you one important scope to use when going to the market to get materials for work with your workman but I don't want to spoil their biz.

It seems you don't know that some of these workmen use substandard goods/products to do work even when the owners of the works pay them well

Abeg, share the scope. I need to learn
