Yes o. Almost the price of many things increased. Samsung Galaxy A20s was sold at 53,500 before the lockdown at slot but it is now sold for 62,500. Sumec firman 3800 was sold at 85,000 before lockdown but not sold at 105,000.
I bought my A20s 56,000 but when I checked the price today on slot's website i saw 69,000

When you sell you also need to restock.

I bought the Samsung A71 for 138,000 and sold for 144,000.
I went back to buy and the price is now 167,000, what is my profit or loss?

It's business not excess profit Sir

I bought sammy a71 April 4th for 142900, as at then some shops were selling it for 153500. Now its 173k in some shops

Its an okay phone for mums as they don't really do much with phones

Supposedly it will, Covid19 tends to affect prices of almost everything due to change in activities and shipment, it's no wonder the new camon 15 premier retails for close to 100k

I couldn't wait again because I was using a 3G phone and it was frustrating. But I am very happy with what I bought not minding the cost.
Redmi is the bomb now.

Bros... the prices were increased for old stocks which where most likely imported before the lockdown... I believe no importation was done during the lockdown...

Do you know that imported old stocks are being paid for with current dollar prize.

Let me explain personally my oga travelled this january to buy before the lockdown. He made all arrangements for the goods to be produced and payment made with the exchange rate as of january.

They also had an arrangement that some should be produced and shipped to Nigeria. That on the goods getting to Nigeria that he will pay up the remaining balance and his goods released to him on payment completion.

Now the problem is that went to pay up the remaining amount of around 20,000 dollars for the old stock. He now bought dollars at 430 as against 360 as of january when the goods were produced.

Now check the difference

430 - 355 = 75

75 * 20000 =1,500000

He has now added 1,500000 to pay for the old stock with the current exchange rate.

So tell me why wont the prize incresae
