Weh, mahali imefika, itabidi sisi kama citizens tutengeneze our own dispute resolution and consumer protection systems. If someone can do all this ju anajua hakuna mahali kesi itaenda, what's stopping your neighbour from moving into your land and changing the title into their name?

This is the upselling crap we were discussing here the other day.
Unapaleka gari kwa garage for cylinder head replacement unaanza kupewa story za brake cylinders na brake shoes na saa hizo the head remains unreplced even after a test-drive from Uhuru Highway (hao wasee hapo opposite Nyayo) to Kiserian clearly demonstrated the fault! Jamaa alizusha, akachukua gari lake, akaingia Shamas akanunua head on his way to another garage akawekewa shida zikaisha.

Before any work begins, I usually have a very long discussion with the Mech, if he is unable to convince me that he has found a solution to the problem I will just walk away.

that's why i opted to be a DIY person, we joined together with a group of 10 buddies and rented a space where we have built and stocked a DIY garage, you just come in when you need to work on your car, work on it and leave everything in good order for the next person, best thing i have ever been a part of.

I also talked about the same thing in another thread. People be putting crazy margins on everydays items. It starts with the landlord to the regular shopkeeper.

Greed! I wonder why people have mentality ya "kuangukia"! You ask someone to quote for a job alafu anadai 4-5 times of what it should cost. It's lazy and corrupt.

Inaitwa biashara.
During the great Digital Migration, decoders were coming in at 600bob. Dealers nilikua nawapea na 1800 if you buy over 500 pcs. Consumer price was around 3-3.5k.
What happens with such biz is that you make the kill while it's still hot. Soon, others start bringing similar items and sell at a lower price until the price stabilizes. Either way, the first person in the biz lazima atabaki na dead stock which was bought at above the current selling point.
In my case, I have around 1500 decoders. So the super-margins are to cushion against such.

I was late for the kill.
But you can be sure the first container to land had a unit landed cost of around 6 bob a piece. Prices to the distributors were probably 15bob. Nowadays zinauzwa 5 bob.
