For those using expensive phones and wish to insure your screen against damage, try Mizala insurance.

They charge 300 naira month, with max repair cost of #200,000. Most Samsung screens are around that figure, so it's actually a good plan to ensure you don't have to carry the weight of repairs when you break your screens.

I have Insured my two devices. Anyways screen break, they fix them.

Site is Mizala.co

Do your research very well before you decide to do it oh. Before someone will come and quote me because of #300 a month for subscription. ASK questions very very well.

Haha. You don't know Nigerian brain. Most insurance in Nigeria exist by having corporate clients. On nairaland here not so long ago, there was this Nigerian that was asking for how to destroy his phone so insurance would give him another one because insurance refused to pay for wear-and-tear fault the phone developed. Insurance plucks money from thin air.

I'm not on nairaland on this account to talk about the people in this country, but I'm just sorry. Our minds still have several centuries to develop to merit the physical comforts we're longing for that we see in developed countries

So everything can't be concluded online Jesus?

Trust me when I tell you this: it's always about individuals and sadly, Nigeria is a country full to the brim of criminally minded, dishonest-by-nature people. I have been on jiji since they started and the above people have frustrated my life to the extent I've left the site.

During my time there, I have collected transfer from people that don't know me, and shipped item to them -- no issues. Only once have I ever sent something to someone I knew (in Kaduna) for buyer to go inspect b4 payment. It was a deal of 450,000 and I was desperate to remove that item from my life, after 2 years (still sold at a loss).

As I said, the problem is the bad heart most Nigerians have that they've used to kill their country. There have been times people claim they want to buy something and set up a desperate seller to come to them and they rob him. Almost happened to me too. Before leaving the site, I never took any item to any buyer, even if I already sold something to them. Everyone who wants to buy something from me must come to me and do the deal or send money as I said. I don't even like that. I want them to physically come or send someone to physically inspect and confirm before paying so I won't hear any stories. I know I've lost a couple deals from that but hey, I'm still alive to write this, and I'm not bankrupt. No one with a special title of "buyer" or "seller" is safe in this country because the most important thing is the criminal mindedness of our people.

I have phones to sell, but I don't do those Techno stuff; my phones are international brands I import from USA, not always clean but you have rest if mind a previous Nigerian has not committed any crime with it (imei can be traced)

Link please

I opened a thread featuring the phones I have for sale. This is the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7255494/american-import-phones-sale-varying#115252262

I have Pixel 3 64gb (two) with some imperfections and I'm selling for 60k and less. I haven't put those up on the thread yet but anyone interested can ask me on the above thread

Zinpat:
Dear Nairalanders, your opinions will be highly appreciated.

my phones have never been used in Nigeria. (No Nigerian sim, 100% rest of mind).

I have a number of phones below 60k. This is the thread I started. There are many more phones I'm yet to add.

https://www.nairaland.com/7255494/american-import-phones-sale-varying#115252262

Samsung Galaxy S8+, blue colour 64gb with box, NO accessories in the box. American Import. Guaranteed no Nigerian SIM other than mine.

A small dot by the left side and small glass crack at top left edge.

Price ₦75,000

Apple iPhone 7 32gb. Was in perfect cosmetic condition until I got clumsy and let it drop. Has a slight hairline crack across the middle and one visible on the top edge, away from the display.

Battery health is 100% but phone always stays warm. Screen can last over 4 or 5 hours on, but battery continues to drain even if you turn off screen. Seems to normalize if in airplane mode though.

Price is now ₦45,000 to clear

Apple iPhone 6S 128gb in great cosmetic and working condition. Price ₦55,000

ITEM NOW SOLD!

Amazon Fire 5th generation. There is a glass crack across the screen but no effect on display or touch. Price is ₦25,000

Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64gb with two black spots and cracks as shown in the pictures. 100% functionality. Price is ₦80,000

Hello there. I want to use this thread I'm creating to list my phones and low level tablets for sale one by one. I will post as time allows. They're guaranteed to never have had any Nigerian SIM in them besides my own, so you can have rest of mind that no one will suddenly appear on your door for you to explain the phone you just bought from somebody (trust me, there are real incidences

All prices here are LAST PRICE

Please note that items are in IBADAN and if you want to buy anything, you would have to:

1. Come to item location to get it, or

2. Ask anyone you know here to purchase and send to you, or

3. Make the payment and I will waybill item to you, subject to your payment of courier charges

Please do not pose as a serious buyer and be asking how you will get it, and when I tell you, you baulk (because you already know the only one way you want). I have sold items several hundred thousand to people all over Nigeria by the aforementioned methods.

Demolala09:
Is the S8+ still available…if yes…holla me let’s deal 08109414754

That price is a reduced price and fixed, even before naira committed suicide last week.

You can drop me an Instagram msg at "dwightsshop" where it is advertised. I don't know if I'm allowed to drop whatsapp number here because I no want ban or any kind of trouble

I have since discovered this myself

Auskyd:
Look for the phone swap or offerup threads. They are suitable for ads.

A real direct help would be to place a link here directly

That budget of ₦120k is not particularly adequate for a top of the range phone. It's less than $200 and all latest top range phones from the major manufacturers are almost $1,000 or even more than $1000 new and well over $300 used. My Galaxy S9+ still sells for over ₦100,000 but mine is discounted to 75k because it's not in perfect cosmetic condition and I'm in need of the cash.

Na wa for naija

noblefarm:
pls which phone will u recommend?
budget 100-120k
currently using Samsung a70, I want to change because its old in my hand,
thanks

I have foreign used S8+ and S9+ each of which is under 80k. Small screen issues on both

Pls o, in a newcomer. I want to post my items as others I'm seeing here, but I'm seeing a warning not to post adverts to avoid being banned. How is it done oooo

Everybody has a reason for their price. The market will determine and reality will set in. I'm facing same issues with my cameras too, as devaluation has wiped out the profits and yet no buyers

Proper Nigerian role model.

This is supposed to be my biz account and I'm supposed to have retired from Nigeria issues, because NO HOPE, SAVE YOURSELF; but I seem to always fail.

christianjoy:
what brands?

The person who only wants one thing will state it faster than the one who has dozens of things

Haynnie:

put the photo here

I have Pixel 3 64gb with cracks on edges of screen for ₦55,000 last price. It's USA import.

Rechargeam247:
The question wasn't answered. Which of the brands has the best camera quality?

In a million years you cannot compare a phone to a dedicated camera. I am a tech man. I sell both cameras and phones. How much is your most expensive phone? $2,000? There are camera lenses alone (not the camera body) that are over $10,000.
If you want to do multimedia, contact me for a suitable camera. You can also buy phones from me for your casual video/snapshots. 99% of ordinary people don't know much anyway, so you're covered.

Haynnie:
Do you have for sale?

₦50,000 last price. 6s 128gb

You are a longer throat.

My involvement in online business started before the internet was freely available; in South Africa twenty years ago I used to look through an advert-only newspaper that they used to give out for free, and from there I made several purchases.

I might have opened the first such business in Nigeria but as always, I was too ahead of my time and got no support. Moreover I was quite engaged in the job that took me to South Africa for training. Till this day I am still engaged in online trade, buying online from abroad and selling in Nigeria. There used to be Tradestable, and then Jiji and later OLX which seemed to be the best until it magically vanished and we hear it was swallowed up by jiji. There was yet one called Olist but that is the one from which somebody swindled me of ₦84,000 by false transfer; I don't know if it still exists.

Long story short, as it stands now it seems Jiji is now a monopoly and have become fat and lazy and greedy. No one can ever hope to sell any small item without paying them and small businesses like ours gave to cough up a minimum ₦18,000 whether we sell anything or not. There were 2 months last year I paid (then 15k) without selling a thing, when I had over 70 items on offer. My experience with them is now totally catastrophic. There was this one Fatcat that just stole my ₦4,000 subscription in exchange for constantly giving me annoying emails that 1 million people have viewed my adverts without me hearing from any.

Are there any alternatives to Jiji? It is WE the sellers that can create an alternative and boost competition. Can't we take our advert monies elsewhere and deliberately defund Jiji and cut them to size? The likes of Jumia and Konga say it is brand new items they want. Please SELLERS, share your experiences. I don't wish buyers to participate because they are the problem: they're looking for free items and will never accept an item is beyond their reach; instead they believe they will use "sense" to get it from seller (I must price it by force) and they NEVER read advert and comply in this Nigeria. If you are steadfast in your procedure, they rush to where Jiji has given them to leave a Feedback, destroying your name and others just follow the first person's lead. As I said in the beginning, I have more experience in online commerce than almost anyone participating in Nigeria.

Let us come together and do something. For me, after my 18k is exhausted, I'm moving on from Jiji to Facebook general marketplace, pending when I'm able to find someone to do my Instagram and Facebook page promotion. My merchandise is worth a few million and is primarily in hi-tech gadgets like phones and photographic equipment -- just so you get an idea the level of my involvement. How is it with the rest of you? Serious matter

Salarys:
Has anyone had their order handed over to nipost from speedaf?

How long did it take to get to you coz I just woke up to this

order and dispatch was made on Jan 8th. Cianao economy global was the selected shipping option.

My own case is different. I WANT NIPOST. Before this pandemic, items arrive my local post office in Ibadan 10 - 20 days after shipment. Now, from the very first day I heard of Speedaf, it has been a nightmare. They finally did their worst with my shipment which was in transit during the Christmas season. The witch RETURNED my items out of spite after I told them on phone I was not presently in Ibadan. I changed my mailing address to the same post office I've been using long before now, which is less than 500m meters from their Speedaf office at UI area, so I wouldn't have to deal with Speedaf. They REFUSED to send my items there, after doing it once, and preferred to send it 9,000km back to China because "did not talk to her well".
I was trying to weigh my course of action but when I got to nairaland here and read up, I realised they are a bigger company than those AWFUL Ibadan workers and that I could file a complaint to authorities further up. I would like someone to please help me understand what to do about it, rather than seeking redress from a more expensive police/judiciary standpoint.

franciskaine:
even with your nice analysis, you still failed to understand that GEJ would have failed woefully if he had continued from 2015. From 2010 to 2013, what wonders did GEJ perform except for the favourable global oil price? Do you think he did anything extraordinary? Why was he borrowing to pay salaries btw 2014 and 2015 when the economy was in good shape?

I really don't care about Buhari and his failed govt, but pls spare us the good name you're giving GEJ. He's a failure also.

You are all failures in this country. For so long as Nigerians still see fate of a country as the work of the President, even when they now for the past 20some odd years have been the ones who put all the people in their positions of authority, so also will this country continue to die. The population of mouths we birth everyday in this country is rising, the only resource from this country is rapidly losing value, while even drying up gradually, una neva ready. Keep talking single human beings who themselves are a product of your failed values and mindset in this country, while each Nigerian continues unabated to be destroying this country in the place they gave him his own chance. I ran away from my account I use to say all this because Nigerians are DETERMINED TO DIE FROM BEING STONE DEAF and I use this account to struggle to eke out a living, but I JUST CAN'T HELP COMMENTING ON THIS. Every one of you is the reason this country is dead, in your actions daily, including whom you vote for. Shit

Straight to the point, how do I get my page advertised, aka "sponsored" on Instagram?

On Facebook also, they show you how but they never accept my payment.

How can I solve all this, in order to be free from Jiji and Facebook groups with their nonsensical members.

Thanks
