dapotemi:You've got a valid point there about not being cheated since it is PoD.... The issue is the time wastage and potentially missing on a good deal because you are waiting for a time waster. |

olukaygold: Going by their conversation, offering free delivery to Warri at that price point is something to also consider. In my world, it is a red flag....I will rather buy a little bit more expensive than risk such. 5 Likes |

pawn89:Those prices were too good to be true. Wanted to buy a ton...went to all physical locations I know in Ibadan, cheapest I could get last week was 1m...and he was advertising less than 900k...I knew he was going to waste my time. So, my audit instinct told me not to engage. 2 Likes |

hamtabfawaz:Not greed. It is called replacement costing strategy. If a seller determines prices based of cost of purchase alone, such seller will be out of business in no time. It means, proceeds from sales will not be adequate to restock same item. We are actually in an uncertain period as a country and everyone is trying to survive. Again, it is not greed. 4 Likes |

That is why it is standard to have a retention fee for any purchase like this to take care of expenses which was not apparent at the point of purchase. It is a standard practice 1 Like 1 Share |

Oyindamolah:As a professional accountant, I struggle to understand what he/she is trying to say. You do not deduct or add Pension and nhf before you get your gross income, your gross income is your gross income! You are required to take pension, nhf and consolidated allowance as deductions from gross income to arrive at your taxable income which is now subjected to the graduated tax rates to arrive at your paye. 2 Likes |

Autos / Re: EVERYTHING CAR AC PARTS by walexyll(m): 9:54am On Jun 14, 2023 |
ColdXAutoLtd: Imported a compressor for my camry 2007. Unfortunately, it did not cool upon installation. Reached out to AliExpress seller and he suggested that the solenoid valve did not open and was faulty. Was not going to wait for another 4 weeks ...so, I stumbled on this thread and got the replacement solenoid valve from OP and boom!!! AC started cooling upon swapping. The OP's response time is commendable and went beyond his way to ensure I got the item in good time. Only thing is that he is rigid with pricing. No discount offered at all. Dem no dey price his market. 2 Likes

sonnie10:I am actually at the window level of my build and my approach is to get the materials myself and then, I pay for labour based on estimated time to complete the job. All the people I spoke with have not taken this approach before, they had all paid for the window as a complete unit. So, I think it is worth experimenting. |

diordaves:Good insight, however, the comparison of wall clock and wrist watches might not be quite absolute. Obviously, different BOM, the engine version of wristwatches are miniatured, hence, more labour time. As I earlier mentioned, I do not expect the smaller windows to be cheaper than the larger ones, only that the 116% variance looks quite large and I STILL struggle to make sense out of it. |

sonnie10: Oga mi, I have done a lot of product costing in my career and I still struggle to understand this particular costing. For a simple product like this, what goes into product costing? Your BOM (direct materials), direct OH (energy cost, labour cost, machine hour RM & dep, etc) and your fixed OH. I still find it hard to make sense of the variation. So, this is not a mater of causation vs correlation. For me, I am leaning towards some arbitrariness rather than some thoughts going towards the pricing. It has to just make sense! |

sonnie10: I already mentioned your observation that I understand that there is an element of fixed cost that goes into the costing. But having a pricing variance of 116% for the same product looks "somehow" to me. It is just like you buying the big Milo 400g refill pack for N2,000 (that is N5/gram of milo) and you are asked to buy the 20g milo sachet for N216 ( that is N10.8/g of milo).

I see pricing inconsistencies here. I understand some fixed cost go into making individual window. However, where we have 116% difference in prices quoted/Square metre, I suspect some arbitrary pricing (see attached analysis). I may be missing something. It will be good if we have more insight into this product pricing CC: @Egunmogaji2 @mufutau55 @gbadexy RockOfAgesAlumi:

Car Talk / Re: Engine Rattle Noise Upon Cold Startup. by walexyll(m): 9:12am On Jul 23, 2022 |
This is a common problem with Corolla 2010. Bought mine with this same problem from onset as a tokunbo back in 2019. I got criticized that engine was going to get knocked in 6 months. Went on toyota forum and most people with similar problem said they have been using car like that for years without any issue. Those that attempted to fix theirs (even with Toyota dealership ooo) ended up having bigger issues. My Corolla still runs like a dream till date. Rattling sound still comes up on every cold start. I don't think that should be fixed if nothing is broken. 5 Likes |

MrOkenwa:Thanks for this. You are super correct about that annoying ticking sound anytime there is a fluctuation. Maybe non-installation of the earth is even the reason for my frequent breakdowns. I will call in another electrician to take a look at it. 2 Likes |

MrOkenwa:Is it the relay version you have or the servo? Since it is a rented apartment, I opted for the one I can place on the floor. Unless I am left with no choice, I detest breaking the wall of a building. Surrounding is cool, with some ventilation available. I don't know about the earthen ooo....I just called a street electrician to install when I bought back in April 2019. How do I check if it was earthen? Edit: I just saw you bought the relay version. You probably have only low voltage without fluctuations. Trust me, if you have fluctuations, it is a matter of time for you to have a first breakdown. I hope I am wrong sha. |

EgunMogaji2:I currently have a build around idi ope axis. Quite close to Alaaka-Mogana axis... Like I said, mine is the relay version. I have been using for over 2 years now and I have had a total of 3 breakdowns. The first two were covered by warranty. I only paid 25k for the last repair. The main problem is getting the damn thing to Prag service centre, Obanikoro in Lagos and back to Ibadan. On my visits there, all the service techs I met mentioned the same thing, that if I had bought the servo version, I would not have had those breakdowns. They mentioned that since I don't only have low voltage but also have fluctuations of voltage, the relay version will not handle well. I have not used the servo version, so, not sure of its durability. Lastly, I do not really have a choice than to have a central stabilizer. Nothing works with those terribly low voltage. Without the device, I had to use my big generator for pumping water, microwave, washing machine...etc For me, it is a worthy investment because I would have burnt more fuel on those activities I mentioned. So, it depends on you, if you are dependent on mainstream appliances. But if you have a solar pump for instance, your calculations will be different to mine!

rottable: In as much it is a good one to move across companies, at some point in your career, you have to stay a bit long on a job. Else, you are seen as "not reliable" by potential employers. You will tend not to be trusted with sensitive positions which require stability. No company wants to hire a finance director or project director every year! 10 Likes |
