It kills me mehn! I don't even follow up with them. But I think they don't want competitors to use their price as a yardstick, and they also do price discrimination.

Now I do this but not for the reason everyone is thinking. I run promoted Facebook ads on my business page where I sell exotic animals. Some times in the business you sell eg, a pair of chicken (exotic chicken) for 100k. You state the prices and next thing some ignorant people who behave like all roads lead into their stomach will come and start saying things like 100k for only 2 chicken. If you allow those comments continue, they will mess up your add. It’s best people who are informed call me or send me messages privately

Rodwave:


Don't mind them. Imagine someone someone talking about supermarket as if the system is the same with open market system. Only unserious passers-by complain about "dm for price". Most of them will still ask you "how much last" in your DM even when you post your item with the price. so what's the noise about? Imagine complaining about businesses in Onitsha main market not putting a price on their products, when you can easily walk into shop rite.

Maliqcious:
Well to My knowledge I guess it gets the customer more curious about the item of interest... Most customers that are aware of a product once they see the price tag tends to swap, but if unsure would like to know the price. So displayed price attracts and turnoff customers cause most won't like to bargain further. I guess dm me for price is more of a bargain ground... Buh make I no lie if na vendor were I know not I might most likely avoid

karnap:
they want to sell the same items to different people at different prices depends who DM them

FuckHomophobes:
I think they don't want competitors to know about their price. Talk about keeping your secret safe.

How about giving you the price and you ghost them? That shit is painful from the client end

Lexusgs430:
They simply lose customers, by this crazy price hiding attitude.......

It's a turn off for me......

Odunharry:

Here also. A big turn off

pocohantas:


Why do they do this? What are they hiding? It is annoying, stressful and scares clients away. Maybe I am wrong and it actually works for them. Any of them here should please explain to me the idea behind this.

The fact that you guys are in minority with your opinions, you should know and accept that something is seriously wrong with your strategy. Why? Because it irritates the majority. Learn!

ThreeBlackBird:

Calling them con artist isn't out of place. It is proven that the their major intention is simply to milk you dry and prey on your ignorance of such product in their DM.

Thing is, they hike the price badly and if eventually you agree to a price, you'll realise later that you got scammed and the product wasn't worth the price.

yusufu16:


Thats not an excuse. If they are afraid of competition, then they are not ready for business.

Go to Jumia, konga, Amazon, prices are shown so you can make decision to buy or not.

Dididrumz:
They might give you a price openly and immediately another seller will DM you and give you a lower price for the same product.

Lexusgs430:





Are they so lonely, that they just want potential customers, to keep calling them..............

Put price, if it's way off my mark........ I waka forward, find my size...........

Rodwave:


Who cares about vocal minority? What makes you think that people like you are in majority? You are just a vocal minority. People are buying from me so I'm not complaining. My business is both online and offline. So I don't give a Bleep about what lazy online trolls think about. I meet new customers everyday online so my strategy is working. A doctor can't teach me how to build a house. I'm in the field so I will always follow the trend.

HabibGwen230:
Did i just tripped for that last statement?yes i did.

franzis:
Dont forget those who will see price boldly stated and they keep asking you how much is it , or the I will get back to you crew, its a two way thing

I am sure it annoys me more o. That thing dey make me vex ehn! It isn’t transparent to me and I don’t do business with such people. I just want to be sure I am not judging them harshly. Maybe their intentions are noble.

BiggyB242:

Exactly my thoughts.

Rodwave:


If you have never run a business online, please don't say what you don't know. Instagram vendors are not jumia. If you want to buy with price tagged to a product, go to jumia or konga. We have supermarkets and we have open markets. Every business has it's pattern.

The thing dey tire person. don't think this rubbish has annoyed anyone as much as my sis, she dey always curse them.

Whenever I see dm or WhatsApp for price I just jump and pass. They are simply unserious con artist.
