A lot of people called, one of them came for inspection , he was ready to pay but because he drove to my place alone , he had to return his car, so I gave him 1hr and promised not to sell the car.
He left , another person came and I told him I cannot sell for another 45mins as there was someone before him, he tried and tried and tried I said no.
When it was 15mins to the time, the first person came in. Note none of them had paid.
This is where is becomes Interesting .
2nd buyer offers first buyer ₦750,000 for a car I put up @₦600,000 (both of them are yet to pay) and first buyer rejects
My greedy mind was telling me to ditch the first buyer and collect my ₦600,000
But no.
I took the ₦600,000 from first buyer and called it a day.

This issue of integrity reminds me of a deal I once had with a ‘middleman’. I needed funds about a year ago and I was ready to sell a foreign used(clean titled) 2012 Toyota Corolla Sport for 4m. The ‘supposed’ buyer started pleading, that all he had is his account was 3.6m… He pleaded and pleaded, until I told him to pay. He suddenly showed up with someone, who I later realized, was the ‘real buyer’. The ‘real buyer’ was begging me to sell at 4.3m and I was dumbfounded. Apparently, I realized that the middleman told him I was selling for 4.5m last. I looked at the middleman and and he winked at me. Later on, the buyer paid 4.3m and they both left with the car. The next day, the middleman called and demanded that I send ‘his’ 700k to him. I did this without thinking about the fact that even I, didn’t make that much profit from the sale of that car. This is how a business man should operate with integrity. So many cases where one ends up choosing ‘integrity’ over ‘greed’.
So, I tried one of the strategies on this game. But, I staked so low because I wasn’t sure of the outcome. Fortunately, it came out as expected. It’s not something I can explain here. So, how do you suggest we go about it.
Hi everyone. Its been ages. How has betting been? Anyways, I came up with a strategy that I’m yet to finalize. It works perfectly only on Male Basketball. The only challenge is that you might not get more than 20-80 odds per day. Been trying it so far and I’ve been getting small money …it even got me close to being on Sofascore top 50. I hope to bring you more info as soon as I have finalized my findings. Cheers.
ravensckar: How is it GAZZUZ's property? Has the seller issued him receipt or any document that indicated a change of ownership of the said item? Or if it was GAZZUZ that decided to backtrack on the deal will the seller hold him to gun point? Make una no dey type like person wey get malaria of the brain. No be everybody graduate from Night School abeg.
Did he dupe GAZZUZ? Answer yes or no or forever remain quiet!
talk2odim: I believe you know all you stated, but my response was so that the mindset of not being in "possession of the receipt" flaw is not passed down to people that may not know and think themselves at a disadvantage if found in similar scenarios. Permit me to disagree with you that not being in possession of the receipt would have made it a bit difficult, cos the action suggests desperation and he may have found a way if he still had the will to earn the extra amount provided he was still in possession of the item, even if it meant an illegitimate way. That is if we are assuming there is actually a receipt-just saying. It was an opportunist "misdeed."
However, we both agree that the seller has a character flaw, and it reflected once the opportunity presented itself.
People are really allowed to go away with many things in this part of the world unfortunately.
Wish we could continue this on another thread. For now, let’s both ‘Rest’ and allow Gazzuzz decide on his next line of action. Cheers.
DOVgadgets: Exactly The seller said 450k You could have just paid it and resell and still make your gain Wo I no wan put mouth,make una get out If na one random person e happen to,una go blame am,now that it’s involves a “whale”. We dy see lawyers and Chief Justice for the thread. Epele,eyin oni order,consideration and sold out for personal gain
You’re not all that sensible… How sure are you that Gazzuzz had intentions of reselling initially? What if he never intended to resell, but couldn’t resist a juicy offer? Would you have said the same, if he had taken prompt possession of the said product immediately after paying for it? Dey try use that brain sometimes na.
prophetwis: Oga Gazzuzz bought for 400k and advertised for 550k and the initial owner saw his advert, greed set in, integrity flew out of broke out the window and boom,he turned to Judas.
talk2odim: As much as I don't like meddling in nairaland affairs, it is important to correct certain impressions so wrong knowledge is not passed down. Every contract is required to have 3 elements; an offer, an acceptance and a consideration. The presence of these makes it binding and enforceable! In this case, there was an offer, there was an acceptance (whether grudgingly or not) and a consideration (which here was the full payment of the agreed sum), so automatically the contract became binding whether written or not and is enforceable. In real terms, if gazzuzz was to pursue the legal route, he would be suing for repossession and wrongful sale of his property-YES, HIS PROPERTY!!!
I quoted you because of the bolded. He does not really need the receipt provided he can establish his offer was accepted and evidence that he made payment (which doesn't even need to be in full to be considered as a consideration. That it was in full, even makes it easier.)
People get away with a lot of things here and need to begin to understand the implications of their actions. My 2 cents
I know this sir. I simply stopped there on purpose. Moreover, Gazzuzz’s possession of the receipt would’ve made the case easier…I never said he can’t pursue the case without it. Besides, being in possession of the receipt would’ve made it a bit more difficult for the owner to resell. And it would’ve been a criminal case if he had made another receipt for such resale. Cheers.
chukel: this is wrong. One must know the vehicle in question and then the thermostat rating. Some cars have a rating as low as 75 while some others have as high as 98. What is middle in Toyota may not be middle in a Benz.
biosilicon: Don't twist the narrative and don't lie to make yourself look good. You were the first person i contacted before i even put up the Tv for sale which you know . from the beginning i have always insisted on 450k which you know. I begged you to add the 50k but you refused. i reluctantly accepted the 400k. which you were blazingly fast to pay even without seeing or inspecting the Tv. Oya come carry your TV, but it was not enough for you rather you said i should deliver to you whenever i come mainland, that was your suggestion oga i did not promise, i said i will come to the mainland before Christmas, today is 22nd. Meanwhile i went ahead to do everything you asked including marking Tv as sold to you here and took down the ad everywhere else i advertised it. I did not make any profit. Tv is worth over 700k. i sold at a loss even at 450k.
If na the 50k or 100k you suppose make dey pepper you, oga kpele i got a better offer. There will be even better deals tomorrow.
Firstly, you ‘reluctantly’ accepted his 400k…you didn’t accept it under ‘duress’. Oga, simply put, you ‘accepted’!!! Secondly, your excuse is that you didn’t promise to deliver it to him on the mainland…that’s not an excuse to resell to a higher bidder. Why would you resell what you already sold to him? You’re lucky he doesn’t have the receipt already. Thirdly, you may think you’re street smart. But, everything he said about you is true. (No integrity). Lastly, he trusted you based on the co-existing relationship between both of you. If you really knew the deal was not the best for you, you shouldn’t have ‘reluctantly accepted’ the 400k in the first place. Ciao.
