High chances of buying things you wont like.

Really!

What do you advise please?

Really!

What do you advise please?

Firstly, go early in the morning before 9am, make you no buy leftovers.
Also don't dress too much, else they will see you as a bigboy with cash and inflate prices.

Also, be prepared because those boys in the market, will keep disturbing you that "wetin you wan buy? i get am"
Most of them are just affiliate, they take you to sellers and get a percentage, the percentage they will get from seller will make seller increase price for you.


Now if in doubt about size test the cloth you want to buy before payment, because once you pay, you have successfully bought it. No refund of money


Lastly, if you dont like the wears in a particular stand, dont be shy to drop it and move elsewhere.
This is important, make you no use shame buy wetin you no fit wear.
Once again, if you dont like the goods you are given at a particular stand. DONT BE SHY TO CHECK ELSEWHERE, NA YOUR MONEY!

PRICES OF USED WEARS(last time i tried)
SHIRTS:
First grade Shirts cost 1000/1500.
They will call as high as 5k per shirt, if you fall, Otilo..
JEANS:
Just prepare 1500 per quality used jean, it all depends on grade sha. A very low grade can be 300 sef .
As i said above those werey will call high price like 5k above.
BOXERS:
300 for good ones.
SOCKS:
150 highest.
CLEAN FITTED SUIT:
2500
the suit usually come alone, na you go find trouser and shirt
OFFICE SHOES:
Fake used: 1500 highest
quality used: 3000
If you sabi shoes, you go know the fake and the quality.

GENERAL RULE: If you dont know the price of a good in thst market, Whatever price they call first cut am into half.
They call 4k, you cut am to 2k and start pricing



Lastly, beware of pickpockets, some people are just there to steal.
Some will stand beside you like they are also buying, omoh! your pocket na the target

Dressing too well is like screaming GUYS I HAVE MONEY for you to thief!

Omoh! I don too type. lol
good luck

Thank you so much Mike, I sincerely appreciate the tone taken to write such an informative message.

I'll be sure to do as advised.

Thanks once again
