Take a close look at the picture below:

Do you find anything wrong with it?

Wait!

You don’t?

How?

Ok, have a look at this one:

https://i1.wp.com/techviews.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/correct-price-of-infinix-hot-2.png?resize=665%2C428

Now do you find anything wrong with the first picture?

Thought so.

Look:

The Infinix hot 2 is Google’s android one project for Nigeria (and as it seems, Africa). When it was launched back in August, it came in two variants – 1GB RAM and a 2GB RAM versions.

The launch price of both devices were ₦17,500 and ₦19,500 respectively.

Even if the price of the smartphone is going to increase, it shouldn’t be Infinix Zero 2 high (as the first picture depicts).

The point of this post?

While doing a research on the best android phones under 20k in Nigeria, I came across some horrible listings online.

You see sellers upping the price of a device as much as 15 – 20 thousand naira.

The most annoying part?

Unsuspecting buyers would still give their money away.

Should we blame the buyer (for not researching) or the seller (for being a thief)?

I don’t know.

Afterall, it’s the buyers money.

What’s important right now is this:

You reading this, before making any purchase (whether online or offline) on tech products, be sure to check out the recommended retail price of that said product.

A simple google search (or bing – whichever you fancy) could save you as much as N20,000.

But that’s just one seller!

Ok, here’s another:

And another:

This one’s not an infinix hot 2, but I just couldn’t let go.

The normal price of the Infinix hot note (1GB RAM) is N24,000.

But guess how much this seller sold it for!

The craziest part?

He made sales! :sad:

*sighs*

A word is enough………..

No pics is showing..

Honestly I do not know who to blame. while some sellers are armed robbers on the one hand some niggas are just to dumb or lazy to do some research n buy online.

Sometime I get annoyed at the comments of some of my visitors to the extent of ignoring their inquiry.

A clear case:
The Infinix zero 2 is available on Jumia at a retail price of 33,000 for the 1GB VERSION .

But surprisingly u still see some dumb questions asking how much is Infinix zero 2

JESU THIS MUST BE JUMIA





















ANOTHER WORD FOR JUMIA IS SCAM

Good Gracious God

Scammers

You are all shades of WRONG! That's Konga and not Jumia.

SLOTS Aba branch,their phones are the cheapest nationwide,St Micheals is a no go area.

I think it's not "front-page" worthy from lalasticlala's point of view

We're in Nigeria bro.


Remember the mega-pixel war?

So many still believe that higher mp count parallels high picture quality.


Or the Infinix better than Tecno saga.

Whereas the same company runs the two firms.


The problem?

Me thinks most Nigerians are rather ignorant.
