Sometimes we just have to make some decisions in life and it's more of a choice we make. No one can force you to do them. Buying and selling is something we must do to have a good life, it’s either you are at the buying end or you are at the selling end. Some people make their choices of buying from online vendors and online websites while some would prefer to buy from the physical market.
So we are bound to make mistakes but at times it might not be our fault for making those mistakes but we have to admit and learn from them. There are times when even though we select and access some stuff, we might get tricked or find it a little difficult to detect that the product is not an original one. Not until we get to use it before we realize that.
A happy purchase
I like going to physical stores to get things for myself. And most times I always appreciate the choices I make. Not every day is not Christmas but at least it's way better compared to buying online and getting what I don't want delivered to me.
So one of my happiest moments where I got to buy and make one of the best choices was when I went to a phone store to get my device. I am the type that checks a lot of phone specifications before I go to the store to buy one. This is because I would have myself determined and concluded on a specific brand and choice I want to get. So I don't get confused or convinced when I get to the store and later end up buying what I don't like.
I saved up and got my phone and the price range. I planned to get a Samsung M21 device after checking and confirming the price, specs, and availability in the market. I got to the phone store that day and requested the M21 device.
To my surprise, I was told that the device was not available in Nigeria. So there is nowhere I can get it from. To confirm that, I checked other bigger stores but I couldn't find it available so I went back to the first store, then I asked for an available phone with M21 spec. I wished I could afford a Samsung A80 but the price was way above my budget. Then I was asked to go for the Samsung A20. The difference between the A20 and the M21 is the battery capacity.
I checked the phone and specs, I realized it was okay for me, so I opted for it. The guy told me I was going to regret buying the phone in the sense that the phone was just one of a kind.
Just a few months later, my brother asked to get him the same phone, he liked the specs and everything about it. So I went back to the store to ask about it. I was told Samsung is no longer producing the phone. It's just a limited production. The guy told me Samsung stopped the production of the A21 a month after I bought mine. The phone was really strong and everyone that saw it with me liked it so much.
It might be a low-budget phone but the specs are worth it. I was so happy to be a part of the users of that make. The phone has been in my custody now for over five years and still working perfectly fine.
A sad purchase.
There are a lot of times when I make wrong purchases. But one that pained me was when I spent a lot of money buying clothing material. The seller told me it would last longer for me. So I trusted his market and bought it. When I got home my friend made fun of me for buying it at that price and they argued it was fake. So I just had to ignore them. But when I washed the cloth after wearing it for once and the colour faded away, I realized I bought rubbish.
This is my response to the hive learners community weekly featured content on hive for the week 97 edition 1 and the topic to be discussed is A HAPPY PURCHASE.
