One thing I bought which end up in regret
When it comes to buying things, I love buying new things because I do not value things that have been used by others, I feel like it has been misused already and I do not see why I should maintain them.
Sometime around 2017, a man introduced me to a bank verification job, it involves going to the bank customer's house to verify if that is where they are living or not but this man said I do not need to go to their house that I can call their number and ask them questions about where they live, like landmark, if their house is fenced and gated and also the color of the building.
I was interested in the job but he said I needed a laptop, I did not want to waste money on a new laptop so I decided to buy a used one by asking people to inform me in case they have anyone interested in selling.
Few days later, I got the kind of laptop I wanted in terms of price but I didn't know it came with some physical and spiritual problem. Jk
I met this guy who wanted to sell his Lenovo laptop for #30,000, I priced it lower but he said that was the last price, I paid for it since I needed the laptop so bad for the new job, and the guy never mentioned the laptop have issues that won't let me enjoy the usage.
I thought I bought a gem not knowing the old user just dumped garbage on me.
When I got home, I plugged in the laptop and operated it, the light was off about an hour later, and just 5 minutes after they took the light the laptop shut down, I was worried and waited till they turned the light again and When I charge the laptop, it worked again, that was when I figured that it has no backup and I already made up my mind to be using it like that, he who want cheap things must also bear the consequence of it.
I thought that was the only issue until a few hours later, the laptop screen suddenly went blank then it became normal again, that was when I started to regret buying such a laptop.
I managed it for a few weeks before I decided to buy a new laptop which cost me 153 thousand naira, it was an HP laptop.
That incident hardened my heart more that I detest buying things like phone or gadget already used by others because I believe most of the old user only sold it because it is giving them problem, we do have few that sells too because they are in need of money, but still I prefer buying new things than from hand to hand.

God exists, I am a living testimony
Giving up is not an option, every hustler has a payday
Don't wish for it, Make it happen
But that guy that sold the laptop to you self! Should I say he was wicked? I am so sorry you have to experience such thing. Buying new things is safer than buying old stuf
people are selfish, they do not care who get hurt as long as they achieve their aim
That's the disadvantage of buying hand to hand, people will never open up about the false so that you won't change your mind about buying it.
Sadly, you had to purchase another system for the job but it must be really worth it and the new system would be very useful even for stuff not about the job.
Thanks for participating in the Hive Naija weekly prompt.
yea, selfish people every where, the job didn't last for more than 2 months though, because banks made it a necessity that their workers must visit the house rather than calling..
Thanks man

Hahaha
That’s why I’m always doubting something when the price is very cheap
I bought a wig yesterday and it was too cheap. I was doubting it but people said it is good
I would not be surprised if it begins to tangle quick
am always careful when I hear prices that sounds too good to be true, well let see how it goes with your wig
The best bet is always buying new things than old ones, especially if we're able to afford it. I'm also very cautious about buying used items as I often wonder the reason(s) why it is sold and what defects it already has.
exactly, there is always a reason why the seller want to sell his thing
It is true that people sell the wrong thing in the market by calling it good, so this thing is very wrong, people should not do it in this way, people who come to buy will suffer. Their heart also becomes very sad.
very common nowadays
Yeah.
In case of buying electronic devices I prefer new one because old things give us various kind of issues and I don't dare to take the risk.
yea i regret buying the laptop and I have been more careful after that mistake
