GamingRe: 7 Solid Reasons Pc Gaming Beats Console by Samtoby(m):
tziz:
I dont quite get u..
I dnt know what u mean by region locked and cant use in any other country. Any PS4 can work in any country and play any PS4 games, including the ones recently launched in China. Where you have a lock problem is on PSN Region, DLC Region, Bluray Disc Playback(for movies). Even the consoles launched in China can be used in any country, the issue is that it is PSN-locked to china. This is totally fine for peeps who dnt care about joining PSN.

As for the "Japanese Version" according to u, Sony announced a price reduction on PS4 consoles in Japan ONLY! There's no tlk on price reduction on other consoles in other regions.

Please where is the "Asian version" sold for 60-70k? Nigeria? Wat do u mean the guy said its "China Product"? Your insinuating its fake or not working properly?

Ur tlking of Amazon, have u calculated the cost of delivery to Nigeria? Ur dollar/naira exchange, how dyu intend to pay? Paypal? Agents? Via ur MasterCard? Have u gone to findout exchange rate from ur bnk? Bro, count ur money if e don complete, enter one shop go buy ur console before u do pennywise pound foolish.
Bro, u said urself that PSN is lock, DLC is lock and BluRay is lock then am I wronghuh Besides, English is not China official language, wat if its build with only chinese language?... Using in any other country is totally out of sense cause u cannot login to any other country PSN and u will forever use China Account (Wich can even later bit u in the ass). But like u said, its for pple dat dnt care of PSN, so u total ignore me cause i do care.

When i said there was a price cut in other country, i totally know and thats Y i said it, I dont knw Y u will tink i made a story up, is not as if I will get a trophy for wat I said... Well we both know u wont belive me for all i said now, so here are links to backup my story, there is price drop in UK, US and Canada...http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/10/sony-ps4-price-drops-to-350-in-the-us-429-in-canada-uk-likely-soon/ and http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/21/ps4-gets-official-uk-price-cut-to-300-5452623/
Both price drop was made in October last year {Check the link}..

Bro, me that said Asian version is 60-70, i knw wat am saying... Check one of the pictures below, i selected Hong Kong version and its $311 (62k converted with 200 (CBN stndard)) and (78k converted with 250 (banks charges)), Japanese version is $308 and China version is $335...bro i read a review that someone said 'China Product' doesnt mean i think its fake or not workin properly (Am not one of dos idoits that will see a fone in ur hand and call it China phone just bcause he doesnt see a popular brand name on it), check one of the image below to see d review yourself, even that same review made me go to a china online store to check the price there and came across d price and made some researchon wich is good to buy.

Bro this ur last paragraf annoyin me, do u think i will just wake up one day and decide to order somtin frm Amazon wit a proper processin?? if that u dours, sorry i dnt do mine dat way, and dats y our username is diff because we are TWO DIFFERENT PERSON with diffrnt IQ... If i knw buyin from Amazon wont pay me, i wont go for it (dat wat u suppose tink before askin me question like am in KG or somtin).. Here is break down if u want to know..

I have almost $600 in my dollar ATM card and my total of buyin and shippin from Amazon is $560.. Now if I withdrw d $600 from bank, d highest rate a bank will convert d money is N200 which will be N120,000. Now i intent to buy "Playstaion 4 89k + 1500 shipin to my area, Extra pad 13k - black ops 3 13k + 1500 shipin and GTA5 13k + 1500 shipin" making it 132,000naira in total If i buy it in Nigeria.

Let see if I buy it in Amazon "Playstation 4 + Black ops 3 is $350, Extra pad is $53 and GTA 5 is $44" makin it $447 shipin and handlin is $113 and in total is $560.. Now converted to naira is N112,000 with N200 rate (Since its 200 rate is wat bank will give me)... Now wich one is reasonable to gethuh? besides, Amazon will give me latest version of PS4 (CUH 1215) wich is 10% less in weight and draw less power compare to first released version (CUH 1100).. Now Konga wont specify, dey will just giv u any one from dere store which might be latest or older version.... Bro I consider tins before i jumb up and down to purchase wat i want....

GamingRe: 7 Solid Reasons Pc Gaming Beats Console by Samtoby(m):
tziz:
Funny dude.
Wats d diffrence between an Asian version PS4 and d others? And why do you think it should be cheaper?
Have u seen the model number of the ps4 sold on konga and jumia? Hw then do u knw its "Japanese" version?
Bro, Asia version are sold around 60k-70k check Konga, its 89,500 and Jumia 97,000.. Read Konga review, u will see a review were some said "its China Product" and i read a comment here on Nairaland and d guy said dere are sellin Japanese version. D guy comment was 2014 and the persons review is December last year.... Bro i do my research.

I dnt tink Japanese version shld b cheaper because its officially cheap, here is Y.. China Version are region lock, u cant use at any other country, Hong Kong version are free but the BluRay drive is region lock but the games are not (means u cnt play a BluRay u got frm US or UK (wich is wat we normally use in NG). I dont know of Japanese but it shold b d same with HongKong version..

Am not just talking, I know wat am Saying.. Besides if dere are selling US or UK version, its still expensive.... Sony reduce dere official just last month and d price go up in Nigeria that same week.. PS4 is $350 on Amazon and it comes with Black Ops 3 (#87k conveted wit 250naira) (70k converted wit 200naira (Official CBN rate))... Now go to Konga Ordinary PS4 is 89,500 and Black Ops 3 is 13k (102,500 in total).. and Jumia own is ntin to talk abt bcuse its higher dan Konga.

Once again, I do my research

GamingRe: 7 Solid Reasons Pc Gaming Beats Console by Samtoby(m): 8:54am On Jan 25, 2016
Its funny how guys are braggin on pirated games... like wtf?.. Am a pc gamer and i downlpad pc games at low cost but am preparin to buy PS4 by Feb, i have the cash now but i dnt want to buy frm Konga or Jumia because dey sell Japanese version and still expensive (just imagin).... Pc games is expensive (trust me, i know), i spend yrs lookin for wich PC to get for my game taste but i d money i will use along with d price i will sell my present pc, its more expensive than gettin PS4, Extra pad and 2 games (Black ops3 & GTA5) though thats if i order it frm Amazon... What really chase me from PC games is because i cant play online version of GTA5.. And also my present pc is not good for gaming. Though PC av advantage of Mouse and Keyboard but PS4 will also av similar features (thinking)... Also reason y i want PS4 is because I dont av to wory if i can play the game on the console, i will definitely play but PC will rise ur mind mayb it can actually play the game or not... and even if it plays it, it might slow and lag a bit (even wit low settings).... Bro u talkin like PC games are free of charge, u too shld go and pay for games at Steam or Official site and see if u will av more than one game on system....
PhonesAndroid 6.0 Marshmallow Update Rolled Out To Android One Devices (infinix Hot 2) by Samtoby(op): 12:54pm On Jan 21, 2016
Just this morning did I have a new notification on my Infinix Hot 2 (Android One device) for a software update, I check the notification and read the description, and then I see the software update is for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. See the picture below.

This is the main advantage of Android One devices; the Android One devices are designed to always receive every latest OS update than some other Android phones.
As the picture stated, the OS update is 836.6MB in size to download and install, which means you will need to free up your storage of up to 1.5GB to allow the OS update with ease.


Feel free to use any internet connection of your choice, be it Wi-Fi or Mobile Network, just make sure you have up to 1GB mobile data and remember, your mobile phone must be fully charged before you can install the OS after downloading.

Business To BusinessRe: Newly Found Shipping Agent For China Importers - Tested And Proven by Samtoby(m): 3:01pm On Oct 18, 2015
Thanks for the information.. I have select some buyers on 1688 and i have seen their numbers... My question is how will i get my item in Nigeria if i use St Patrick? Am not staying in Lagos, am in Kwara State... From which carrier will i get my item when it gets to Lag?.. Or is it d same with Aliexpress which i get items at Nipost?...



haychPee:
Use Google chrome to open the site as chrome will help you translate it automatically, enter the keyword of the goods you want to buy, click on your desired good, locate graphic/product details on the product page, scroll through the page, you get the seller's details such as QQ or whatsapp nos.

Chat with the seller privately and tell him about your shipper as regards shipping and payment if the seller would agree to your terms.

As for the shipper to use, I can't not vouch for anyone even when I have used st.Patrick, ChrisvicMall before without any story that touch.
#2cents.
Safe!
BusinessRe: Do it urself importation: 1688.com Class by Samtoby(m):
Bro, when you said we should take the seller to Aliexpress, is he going to open a new product page for me at USD equivalent to the Yuan price at 1688? or how are am i going to pay the dollar equivalent to the 1688 price + d extra alipay charge... For example, i saw a Samsung External HDD for 360yuan [$58] at 1688 and the same items is listed for $80 at aliexpress.. i know its not d same seller but am sure i av neva seen any Samsung 1tb hdd at $58 before... So d question again, how am i going to successfully pay %58 for this + if d seller didnt av aliexpress store...


Ymodulus:
BUYING WITHOUT REGISTRATION

Buying without registration is easy. you just have to get the contact of the seller and you are free to go.


Now let me take you down the Non-registration Route (In my opinion Best Route.)


When you visit any link on 1688. com, the seller always and its a must, I repeat the sellers always have their phone numbers on the page , you will also see the trade manager , Qq Id (not often) or Wechat id(not often).


PHONE NO
This is the easiest way to have things go your way.

There is a popular saying that " you use money to get money". Here this saying take effect.

All you have to do, is pick up the phone no of the contact. and then send him a simple text message, see

TEXT MESSAGE

*******************************************

Hi

I am from Nigeria. I want to buy watch on your 1688.com store. please send me your qq or Trade manager Id to my +2348065432....

Thanks.
*******************************************


Now take note of the message format above I still added my phone no. even though am using my phone no to send the text. the reason is because at times when you call China , they receiving party will not receive or see your phone no. Its done by their network for security reasons. At times they receiving part might see your phone no. so to avoid a case where your phone number is not seen. Just add it to your message.

Note!!!:
As at this time of writing. A text message of 1 page to China cost N15. So I believe this should not be a problem.



TRADE MANAGER ID

Every seller on 1688.com uses trade manager. Do not forget that the website is owned by the ALIBABA GROUP. Now if a seller is online just Click that icon and chat will come up then go onbchatting with them.

QQ I'd
Some sellers use QQ. you can get it from them or you will see it openly written.




Conclusion

You need not register to buy an Item on 1688 . com , all that is needed is for you to establish contact with your seller and booooooooom discussion continues.



Payment Method

There are two ways of paying on 1688.com

1. Through MONEY TRANSFER by your NIGERIAN SHIPPING AGENT
2. Through your NIGERIAN ATM CARD.


Now for the first way please see this thread for more : https://www.nairaland.com/1819824/newly-found-shipping-agent-china



For the second way, read on

Now I use this most often.
Most seller on 1688 . com have stores on aliexpress and Alibaba . com, ask them that you want to pay on aliexpress, they will agree and ask you to place an order then you will pay. That's how you do things.
Note!! Most times some Chinese sellers can be funny. they will give you stupid items. so that's why its best to bring them online on Aliexpress or Alibaba and leverage the power of escrow.


However if you are to carry out a money transfer, let it be Payment-On-Delivery. some may not agree all you dobis send them the money straight.





TRANSLATING The 1688.com Into ENGLISH
Use Google Chrome Browser

TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 9 by Samtoby(m): 12:11pm On Aug 30, 2015
thesoj:
Welcome cool Hope you are ready to read, read and read.
For starters, go through @richcasey's links and then read the whole of Part 8 (or at the very least a minimum of any 100 consecutive pages of Part 8 ). I presume you would be applying for May 2016 or September 2016. It is already too late to apply for January 2016 since after your uni admission (which would likely take a minimum of 6-8 weeks to get) you would still have to apply for TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) which for Lagos applicants takes around 8 weeks.

When did you finish secondary school? What course do you want to study? What are you currently doing? Keep in mind that CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) doesn't like idle applicants so make sure you find something to get your hands busy with in the time being.

After reading through Part 8, if you have any pressing questions come back and ask any informed questions that you might have.
Thanks for your respond, really appreciate it especially the link you share.

Am already on Part 8 too, it will take time but imma read it completely..

For your questions... yes am planning to go for the Spet 2016, hmm i finished my Sec school in 2011 as an Art student with 8 credits and 1 pass [dont know if thats necessary]. i just finish ND program in Polytechnic just last month at Public Administration and i will love to continue in that field [already seen some school with the course, thnks to d link u share].
Am about to start an IT program, i dont know if this will answer your question on "getting my hand busy".

To ask all together, i saw on page 8 that people that haven't travel out before are liable to Visa denial.. is this really true? cause am not a travel type, just within Nigeria and thats it [and i also read that travelin within the nation doesnt count]..

Thanks once again
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 9 by Samtoby(m): 7:54am On Aug 30, 2015

The name of the school too, am actually looking for a cheap/affordable school where there are Nigerians (someone to guide tru) and not where i will look like a total novice (wich i am tho).

just copy the adsense code, log in to your blogger dashboard, go to settings>posts and comments> then post template, click add then you'll see a space/empty box,paste your codes there and click save settings up the page.

after doing this, when next you want to create new post, click new post then click on the HTML tabe n you'll see your adsense code, from there you can arrange it how ever you want.

WebmastersHow To Easily Add Adsense Ads Anywhere In Your Blogger Post by Samtoby(op): 7:15am On Jul 24, 2015
This is a manual way of adding Ads to any where you want in your blog post.




Important part of this method is its lets you choose the display location manually, easy to implement and does not require you to edit your blog template.




Not to waste your time, let’s get in to the steps.




How to Add Adsense Ads in between blogger posts.




•· First, Logon to your Adsense dashboard and create an Ad unit. [I recommend a text only Ads type and a size which is 400 width and below.]

•· After creating the ads unit, copy the Ads, create a Notepad and paste the Ads inside it and save the Notepad.

•· After you are done writing your post, decide where you want to put the Ads and switch to HTML mode of the post and locate where you want to add the Ads.

•Once you locate the place you, Copy and Paste the Ads unit you saved in notepad earlier right below your chosen paragraph.

[Add the <center> </center> tag to the Ads to the Beginning and End of the Ads, if you want the Ads to appear in center. E.g. <center> Your Ads Here </center> . Change the “Center” to either “Left” or “Right”, base on how you want your Ads to appear.]

•· Publish your post and go to the post on your blog to see your AD right where you input it.

•· Done.


This is the simplest way of adding Ads inside your blog post.
