TWO SIDES OF PURCHASE

Rarely do I feel unhappy about my purchases. Whatever I get, I use. Cause why would I get something that would serve no purpose and cause me regret? I should have thought about what I was getting beforehand, isn't it?
Notwithstanding, I know how things an get and how stuff could go bad.

My current area of residence (my family house), there's a 24uoir power supply. While others in the rest locations of the state complain of epileptic supply of electricity in those areas, I cannot say same
Here, we enjoy steady supply every day save for once/twice at a stretch, in a month.

And that day or two is what gets me stranded. Because I can't tell when the light would go off, I am mostly taken unawares. And quite unfortunately too, my phone's battery is weak. It runs out in a rush. So in those hours, I stay bare. And just one day would stretch so much, it feels like weeks.

In addition to the fact that I'd be going back to school where the supply would not be so good, and since my other powerbank failed, I got a new powerbank. I was very excited about that purchase. I got it alongside a new phone(which I lost I should share that story soon).

Interestingly, I haven't had to use it so much. The hours I did so, I enjoyed it. Charges my device fast and doesn't run out. My siblings who took it out with him for a few days testified that it was very strong and it gladdened me. At least now, I wouldn't have to go through as much hassle with powering my devices I did in the months past. Cool stuff, yeah?

Still, I got my share of the bad buys.

The one of which I have mentioned here before. And that was this brown leather multipurpose-backpack and handbag-bag that I had purchased. After sending out the money, receiving my goods and unwrapping, I found out the bag had a tear. Not the kind that could easily be stitched.

The leather was the kind that fell off just as paints from cracked wall does. At the time i laid hands on it, it was just a little tear but noticeable still but lttle by little, it fell off until it was a mess. That's my second most expensive bag yet. And I never got to use it for a day even. It would never have been a sad purchase but for that anomaly becaaue the bag is pretty. So pretty that I would have done repairs on it if the cost of repair wasn't almost same as getting a new one. I liked that bag. I still do and maybe that's why I haven't gotten to discarding it but it was a flop.

I recall the person that had gotten it for me had sent a picture indicating the tear which she claimed was either from the vendor or dispatch. The picture she sent(plus according to her), the damage was almost insignificant. Even then, there wasn't anything I'd have done. But maybe there was. I just don't know. I picked no lessons here. Nothing.

It's always a gamble, isn't it? @cheeamaka

Buying something new, hoping it works out. Sounds like your powerbank was a win, a little beacon of reliability in the unpredictable ebb and flow of power outages.

The invention of power bank has saved us from so much loss especially if you were lucky to get a good one.

So sad that you couldn't see the bag before purchasing it, that's one disadvantage of online purchases.

The issue with the bag wouldn't have been if only I had seen it physically, first. But that's all right.
Thanks for stopping by

That's right, if only you had the chance of seeing what you were paying for before getting it.

It's my pleasure stopping by 🥰

I know how annoying weak phone batteries can be, I am currently having my own share of that and can only wish to get a better phone soon. Sorry you lost your new phone, that must have been so painful.

Sorry about the bag as well, it was probably not stored in a conducive place and there is no way you could have known.

Thank you so much for the words. Sorry about your phone battery too. Hopefully we get enough to buy us good devices.
Thanks for coming around.
