My Bad and Good Purchase Experience
My Bad and Good Purchase Experience
As far as buying and selling is concerned, one would not always be on the winning side, no matter how smart one is there must be days when you would purchase something that won't be worth your money.
The truth is most of the things I bought were actually purchased for me by others, I only send money and they get it for me. The majority of the time I get so lucky and fewer times I get disappointed. One of the things I bought and I really enjoyed its service, in fact, I am still enjoying it is my current phone.
Sometime last year, the phone I was using all of a sudden started misbehaving, just like that the screen would go white (blank) and then come back to normal again. As at that time, I changed the screen not long ago at the rate of 15,000 Naira and I didn't even enjoy it for up to a month and it was already having issues. So, I thought the best thing to do was to sell it out and get another one.
I looked for someone who could get the phone in that condition and I was lucky, I found someone, though I sold it a bit cheaper than expected. Then, I powered down on Hive added up to what I had on the ground, and spoke to my friend who resides in Jos to help me check for a good phone.
It was the Spark 10 Pro that was on my mind but my friend called and said he saw the Infinix Hot 30i and the price was fair and it's almost like Spark 10 Pro but he would verify and get back to me. The next day, he went to the shop and asked for the price and they told him it was 85,000 Naira. I love his bargaining power, he beat the price down to 78,000 Naira then he called me and I transferred the money to him.
The phone has been serving me so well, the battery is 5,000MAH, 4Glite, it has 128ROM, 4+4 RAM and it's Android version 12. The only problem I have with the phone is the back camera. It's too poor. But I don't even snap, my Major problem is the browsing speed and memory of which it has a fair one. I am seriously enjoying the phone. Even if I had bought it at 100,000 Naira, I think it is worth it.
One thing I bought and I wish I didn't buy at all was a bed sheet, I think I have spoken about it before. You know if you have money and you get something that isn't good it won't bother you but if it's your last card that you used to get it, it hurts.
I had only one bed sheet prior to that time, I got frustrated at the stress of washing the bed and waiting for it to dry before covering the bed. So, I decided to get one to add to the one I was having so that I could switch from time to time and wouldn't have to be washing frequently.
I had just 3,500 Naira in my account that day. I had to battle with my heart so much before I finally decided to enter the shop because that was the only money I was having and I was not sure I was going to get any money anytime soon again if should use it. After I convinced myself that it was a necessity and as such I needed to get it, I went in and got one.
After purchasing the bedsheet at the rate of 3,500 Naira, the exact money I was having, I returned home with joy because I loved the color and design of it. Only for me to spread it on my bed the next day and discover it was torn. I got so angry but calmed myself down and stitched it.
After using it for like two months, I discovered that it had already started showing signs of tearing again in other parts. As I am talking to you right now it's torn. I felt so bad, it was as if I wasted my money. There are just so many fake things in the market these days.
Lessons
Both experiences taught me that nothing is not predictable the fact that you put in so much to get something is not a guarantee that it will give you exactly what you expected. Be very smart but expect anything at any time.
Note : All Images are mine.
So many products promise a lot and deliver a little. I'd much rather have something that makes few promises and does exactly what it is supposed to...for a long time. I don't need the best cellphone but one that does what I need...reliably for a long time. I don't need the softest sheet but one that covers me nicely...without tearing or wearing out.
Unfortunately a lot of things are manufactured to "look good" but not necessarily last. Very sad. Also sorry about your sheet...that would be annoying for sure.
That is very true sir. There are just too many fake products out there. In the end, it's not about the way a thing looks like or how expensive or cheap it is, but it's about serving the purpose for which it was gotten for.
Thanks so much for reading sir 🥰
Thank goodness the phone is still serving you very well bro, mine too has been doing well since after the last issue I got with it. Thank God las las we free from phone disaster to browse the internet or do other important things..
What's up about that bedsheet? Was it the one we went and bought together?
Does people play hard trick on us..
That phone is giving me what I want broh. I am happy to hear that yours has not misbehaved since again. There is nothing as frustrating as using a phone that has issues.
It is the bedsheet o boss, those guys ripped us😂😂..
Buying new phone is more better and enjoyable than going for fairly used one.
Also for the bedspread, sorry about it. Some material are just fancy but not durable
There is joy in using a brand new phone, it will serve you just the way you want.
I agree with you, some materials are just fancy on the outside but not durable.
Thanks for reading ma
The pleasure is mine
🥰🥰🥰❣️❤️
I'm a fan of Infinix phones because it is affordable and serves me well. The thing about purchasing items is that always visit a vendor you can trust and check the material properly before leaving the shop. I guess you were carried away by the beauty of the bed sheet. And one thing I have learnt from purchasing items is that, the beauty of the design doesn't determine how long the item would last.

Infinix products are reliable I can attest to that. You are right my broh. Maybe our mistake was not checking it properly. Well that's a huge lesson for me🥰
Your account of shopping experiences, both gratifying and disappointing, leads us into a deeper reflection on the nature of consumption and the quest for satisfaction in our daily choices. Your satisfaction with the Infinix Hot 30i phone, despite its imperfections, illustrates an important philosophical lesson: the pursuit of perfection is often an illusory quest. By accepting its flaws, like the inferior quality camera, you embrace a fundamental truth of the human condition – perfection is an ideal, but it's often in imperfection that true happiness lies.
And that, I find, is really beautiful! 👌
This reminds us that the real value of an object does not always reside in its materiality, but rather in the importance we give to it.
#dreemerforlife
Wow!! You made so much sense, truly happiness comes by accepting a thing the way it is. It is good to go after perfection, but most times, it's ends up getting us hurt.
Thanks so much for stopping by dreemer🥰❤️
I think we often put too much pressure on ourselves to achieve perfection, when it's in the little flaws and imperfections that we often find the most joy. Often, we just need to take a moment to appreciate things as they are.
Yeah, you are right about this, sometimes we just have to appreciate what we have rather than looking for perfection

Thank you ma
I love phone with good camera though. This present one I am using, though it's not what I am expecting but it's cool. I don't want to even think about changing it for now because it will clock a year in March.
Purchasing items or anything is luck most times just like I said in my post. One will get something and enjoy it and get another thing and would be like regret. It is more sad when you spent your last card only to get a fake stuff. But in all, it's important to be patient and know that nothing is predictable.
#dreemport
I also like good cameras but I don't like snapping. You are right ma, getting quality Things are based on luck, sometimes you get lucky, others times you won't.
