The Price Negotiation Olympics 😂
I saw one fine slippers.
I said:
“Madam, how much is this?”
She looked at me, sized me up from head to toe…
then said:
“₦12,000.”
I didn’t even argue… I just laughed.
Because clearly, this is not a price, this is a test of character.
I said:
"₦12,000.”
I didn’t even argue, I just laughed.
Because clearly, this is not a price, this is a test of character.
I said:
“Okay, how much last?”
She said:
“₦11,500. I like you, that’s why.”
Ah. Love has entered business.
I said:
“I have ₦4,000.”
She held her chest like Nollywood just cast her.
“Jesus! For this economy??
You want me to run at a loss??”
I started walking away gently like a peaceful customer.
She shouted:
“Come back! How much you say you get??”
I increased small:
“₦4,500.”
She said:
“Okay bring ₦10,000, carry it.”
I kept walking.
₦8,000! Final!”
I reached junction…
“₦6,500! Last last price!”
At this point, even the slippers were confused about their destiny.
I turned back slowly
Because this is now a spiritual battle.
I finally bought it
Then saw the same slippers in the next shop for ₦3,500
The real price is hiding somewhere between drama and walking away.
So, walking away is not leaving, it’s part of the negotiation. 😂😂 ゚
