OrderBroker:
Are you planning on buying a Gadget; a phone, a laptop or is it
payday and your hands are itchy towards a tech device. Here
are five signs that tell you are about to buy a fake gadget. It’s
your money, have you heard this quote; “the greatest injustice a
man can do to he’s pocket is buying what he does not need”.

1. Sold by the road side
This can’t go unnoticed especially with a public address system
announcing the products or a trader jingling bell to call
attention. If you are caught by the attention seeking antics, on
probing further, you are sold to the highest sugar-coated talk –
it’s original. Has any seller claimed to be selling fake before to
a potential buyer? Your money is better spent to charity than
buying that.

2. No testing
Most time, this meets the first condition “sold by the road side”.
You are told the shipment came from UK, US, Japan etc, and it
was brought to the point of sale directly from the container. If
you fall for it, a gambler is better than you. Leave it for the
repair engineers to buy and sell with prior testing.

3. No warranty
Maybe you tested and it worked, you will do yourself a favor, to
ask for warranty or guarantee as some will call it at the point of
sale. And if it’s not available, you know the type of boat you are
about to enter.

4. No Logo
Are you about to buy a gadget that says Sharq for Sharp, Nokla
for Nokia, Ipple for Apple, an Hp logo for hp or no obvious brand
name? Look well it’s a pit.

5. Ridiculously cheap
If not for the price, what will make anybody thinking right buy a
gadget with either of 1-4 conditions above, but think again,
what value can you get from an android phone bought for
#1,500 or a laptop sold to you for #10,000; Kudos to your stars,
if your marriage last six months.

Make a better decision when buying your next gadget; invest in
your peace of mind with quality products, value for money, good
resale price and a warranty covering. Or buy headache with your
money with extra spending for burial ceremony in the name of
repairs. It’s your call.

Scraps are for scrap yards, valuable gadgets are for humans
especially Nigerians.
