Analysis of the Market Trend in Nigeria
_______________________________

I have observed the market trend in the country and came to the conclusion that things are the way they are because people want CHEAP things! Yeah right, they can't afford it blah blah blah. At the end of the day, they end up paying more. Whenever I purchase electronics, I made sure I made my budget known to the seller in all honesty. I will tell him I want a durable product at whatever price that is reasonable. I made sure I don't haggle the price ridiculously low so as not to make the guy change his mind and do something I will regret. In all my encounters, I always end up with sellers who appreciate my honesty and I end up with just what I want. A solid business relationship is born out of such encounters.

Nigerian market is a buyer-driven market. Because the sellers are trying to meet buyers demands, they go all out to do anything that will make the prices attractive to the buyers, even if it means buying inferior items. Sometimes ago, I sent some flash drives home to be sold. These flash drives cost me $30+tax+shipping to buy in the US. When it arrived in Nigeria, people were offering =N=2500 for them. I was so frustrated that I asked them to sell at that price, not because I was happy with the offers, but because I wanted to prove a point. The other Computer Village flash drives that mine were compared with lasted only about 2 weeks! It was then they realized that they weren't the same product. Now they want my flash drives at any cost!

This trend applies to everything that's being sold in Nigeria right now. Nigerians want to buy a car that costs $8000 in the US for just N1.4 million naira. Ridiculous! They want a laptop that costs $600+tax+shipping for N80k. Ridiculous! C'mon guys, let's be realistic. It ain't going to work! It keeps me wondering "where do these people buy from that makes them sell for such a ridiculously cheap prices?" I have since found an answer to that question and we are all witnesses to the consequences of buying CHEAP things. I am not saying all CHEAP things are bad, but I am saying you that you simply get "your money's worth".

TIPS TO AVOID BEING A VICTIM
_________________________

Next time you want to buy an item at Computer Village, you have to first be honest with yourself about the price. Do a price research online. Do the maths. Make sure it's a brand you've seen on the Internet. Try as much as possible to establish a long term business relationship with some trustworthy sellers and stop jumping from store to store. Make sure they will always take back your defective item  and replace it in a whim. I used to have a chain of trustworthy sellers when I used to assemble PCs. I always get my "money's worth" and my customers always come back for more.

Conclusively, it seems to me that we all have a role to play in what's currently going on in the market. We will get durable products if are honest to ourself about the price. Put yourself in the sellers shoes. Don't assume he's buying at a bargain wholesale price. What if he is? He doesn't have to because of that, sell at a below-market-value price!


MY PROPOSAL
------------------

If you want a good durable item, contact me @ sendtodeji@gmail.com. Let me know how much you are willing to pay for it. I will tell you where you can pick it up in Lagos or Ibadan. It might take up to 2 weeks before your order arrives in Nigeria. But patience isn't too much of a price to pay for good quality.
