Yesterday, I went to a shop to purchase some curtains and while returning, I stopped at the shop of the man who sold me an AC some weeks ago and told him I will need a backup AC should this one I'm using breaks down during this excess heat period. Sadly, the price he gave me was outrageous, so I told him I'll be back.

At the front, 2 minutes away from where I bought a 6x4 24" foam for 45k last month, I saw another shop that sells foam, so I decided to stop and inquire to compare prices. As a poor guy like me, I love getting things at an affordable rate.

The first boy, about 15 years old came and I pointed a 20" foam and he said it's 60k. In my head, I said, "In Emmanuel's shop, I'll get it for 30k," so I ignored and pointed a bigger one, a 6x6 family size foam and he was mumbling with the price, so he called his elder brother from the other shop and he said it's 70k.

"70 what?" I asked and he smiled and said that is the price. Listen, I bought a 24 inches foam some weeks ago for 45k, so why will this one that isn't up to 24 inches be 70k? Is it because it's 6x6 and the other one is 6x4? "Yes," he replied, "and also, our own has more quality." "How do you know?" I asked. See, I'll pay 40k for this foam and I'll do the transfer instantly.

He disagreed with the 40k and decided to call his oga. Immediately he picked, they both started speaking Igbo and he told him there is a customer who wants to buy it for 40k.

The man shouted and said, "No, never. The last and last I can sell that foam is 50k. I even want to use that foam in the new apartment I'm moving in and also, that foam is original and it's not in the market again. If the buyer agrees 50k sell, else don't."

After the call, he gave me the phone to speak with his boss and the oga asked, "Do you speak Igbo?" "No, I don't, but I do understand 50%," I replied and we started using English.

"Okay, I'll pay 45k and it's the only thing I have," I begged the man on phone, but he gave me some cool reasons 50k is the last he will sell it and how his competitors sold it for 60k last.

I pressed the foam again to have a feel and yes, it was really worth it and it goes down and rises as if it has a spring inside like a spring bed.

Lastly, I transfered 50k to their UBA account. "E be like say all of una wey dey sell foam dey use UBA — this una UBA dey like give headache o!" I said.

Luckily, the money went through in less than a minute.

"Don't you need pillows," he asked. "No, I already have some pillows I bought some weeks ago." "How much you buy am?" the 15 years old boy asked as his elder brother was writing my receipt. "1,500 each," I replied. They both shouted and said it's expensive that they sell original Vita and Mouka pillows for just 1k.

"Hmm! Okay, bring 2 Vita and 2 Mouka lemme see," and he brought them and I liked them even more than the ones I bought for 1,500 each. So, I paid him 4k cash and took everything home.

When I got home, I realized what happened and why I bought the foam even at that price — which is above my budget.

It's because the man he called on phone created originality, urgency, unavailability, and scarcity scene to make me feel as if I'm lucky to have the last foam of that kind he wants to use in his new apartment.

To make people buy things or agree with you, Robert Cialdini, the author of INFLUENCE, outlined all the things you need to persuade people to buy or agree and that man used it on me and it worked.

Below is the foam and the pillow. So, go and read that book.

Read the book if you want to be more persuasive and make more money.

Lol.

He used tactics on you and you fell. I can't fall for that. IMHOYou didn't reason that you were losing and not saving. You already had one, but got carried away by another.
BTW, seems you like having 2 copies of all....

Though, it was worth it, so I don't feel cheated compared to the one of 45k some weeks earlier.

As the song goes, everything na double double. Lol.

God has a reason for making everything on our body double or more — except mouth and tongue.

One mouth so that we won't overfeed.
One tongue so that we won't say what will put us in trouble.
One dick so that we won't impregnate too many women.
One navel so that we won't be tickled there too much.

After that, every other things na double double. Think about it.

Good day Ilegend

I wouldn't want to waste your precious time, so post the link let me see if the project has been abandoned. If it's about the one I told a guy to compile all the questions nice guys ask on a certain thread, then it's an abandoned project.

Hello ilegendd,
Could you be kind enough to share their address or contact so i can go purchase one for my friend

Hello ilegendd,

It's just the same thing as revealing the address of the zone I live, so I'm not comfortable with such info. I love anonymity in terms of location.

I think Anambra or Lagos will have it cheaper.

The guy dey ball kan, spending money, enjoy jor, #holo.

Your type of people have no choice than to be successful.

People who talk like you are either successful already or are 100% sure they'll be successful soon, so they hardly hate on those who are currently enjoying because they know their time is coming.

But for those that are confused in life and probably know being successful will be the hardest thing for them, they'll hate and abuse people enjoying themselves because they know they'll probably never get there. They pour their frustrations on you as if you're the cause of their current predicament.

Until they change from this envious and abusive behaviors, success will elude them.
