What you don't understand is technology market is not a consumable or perishable goods market. We deal in things that last for 2-5 years so definitely at one time or the other the demand for this products is expected to have a sharp decline and with decrease in demand comes a decrease in price more especially now that there's excess supply of these phones. Tech market moves in relation to the economy. There's now a general decline in the prices of all these high end phones because of their demands and change in consumers spending habits.

Secondly, this business thrives on low balling, the whole model is as a result of low balling. If the oyinbos said they're no longer selling to Nigerians because of low balling, they won't close OfferUp but rather look for other markets for their devices. We see ridiculous TLC deals posted everyday, if I see some deals for mikky's WhatsApp I go say na jazz. Even in CV or any other markek, people low ball. I'm very sure on one or more occasion, you or someone have priced an item of over 10k for 1k, it's the market, this thing happen all the time but doesn't mean market should be shut down.

Another thing to note is that the whole model of this business is based on an interconnected number of large middlemen. You hardly find an end user here from what I can deduce. Everyone buys and sells for profit. You buy from seller and pay the picker for his service, your deal buyer also buys and add your profit, he also looks for another to sell to and so and so until it reaches the ultimate buyer. Nobody wants to enter a business where he gets nothing from, what's the point. Someone made mention of a price ceiling and minimum price of 10-20k from CV, how is that going to work or how would it be sustainable? Before the phones get to the ultimate end user, the prices would be more than that of CV. And the reason for people buying at this low prices is this is a highly risky business, you don't expect someone to take a greater risk only to sell at the same profit margin with CV people. PHONES are not the problems, but the availability of buyers, they are thousands of phones in the market, how else do resellers who buy from deal hunters convince the buyer that they should buy their products? It's either PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION of COST LEADERSHIP, and there is nothing different about the products we're offering compared to that of CV so the best way to withstand competition from CV or other markets is to offer a lower price.

You want to sell at the price of CV, good and fine but also be prepared to wait as long as they do before selling a single device.

If your business is not moving, change your strategy. Re-strategizing is as important in business as buying and selling. You don't blame your customers for you not selling your goods. Other people here sell daily and hardly enter any trouble with buyers, you don't hearethem complaining.

It once took me 6 months to sell a galaxy S9, I had to make a loss. Tere's an iPhone 8 I'm yet to sell since last year, it's just business. Sometimes is favourable, other times it's not.

Even pickers enter their troubles but they don't stop picking.

Thank you, bros. Very balanced view.
It's funny how some people here are complaining about lowballers, even when they lowballed oyinbo people too. We're all hustlers, and we're supposed to help each other grow. Even in CV, sellers may go a week or two without making sales. Abi you think say na so money dey flow? Many a time, when new iPhone and Samsung phones flood the market (no thanks to street boys), the bigboy sellers also have to buy cheap and sell cheap too, because it's a volatile market. Phones don't appreciate, no be land, they depreciate....unless there's a scarcity of the particular model.
Nairaland Technology Market is supposed to be a virtual alternative to Computer Village, like Jiji, OLX, and Konga are.
Many of us learned from the big ballers here. Many sellers and deal hunters in the market now, but number of end users have not increased, rather, sharp guys are also buying good deals to resell for 3-10k profit. At all, at all, subscription and suya money dey comot, and, we move on to the next one.

Make una no let una individual greed close the one avenue serving everybody else, because you want to push the competition out. Some of you dealhunters don belleful, forget you were once struggling and asking trusted pickers and dealers to endorse you, to get importers and buyers to patronize you. Started from the bottom, now you're here, and you don't want others to come through the door. You wanna shut it. If na so others before you do, you go reach where you dey?

I also love the comment by drey22. Nairaland gave us all a platform to benefit from. Even when we began to use the Technology Market for what it wasn't intended for, they still let us. Many have sold and bought goods and services worth millions from here. Did Seun collect N1 naira from you? Do you ever buy his ads? Abi una dey pay Dragnet for moderation of the threads here? Their only payment and joy is that your activities drive traffic to the site.

Yet, all that some of you can think of is to create a WhatsApp or Telegram group. SMH.

Let the dealings go on. Here on Nairaland.
Decisively deal with erring deal hunters and pickers to book.
Leave sellers to sell at whatever price they want to sell; this is not the only platform for sales. Buyers lowball sellers in Ikeja CV, every other day, and Ikeja is always open for business.
It's my prerogative as a seller, to sell 20 phones in a month and make 5k profit on each. If you prefer to sell one phone in one week, and you make 15-20k on each of 4 or 5 phones in a month, it's very okay. Do whatever works for you, WITH YOUR MONEY/INVESTMENT.
