You buy stuff, then the seller controls you how to use it. You have time limit to use it, you cannot share, limits on quantities to buy, who to buy from etc .... Monopoly kweli.

If you want to buy and sell bundles why don't you do it in a proper way? register yourself with safcom,pay rates etc Do you think its fair if you paid for electricity at KP and ended up supplying your whole village/neighbours with power just because you've paid for it? Why would you buy bundles for 1GB and fail to utilize them within the specified period? Why cant you buy a small bundle? N/B, I do not buy bundles,I have free internet in my house as well as in forward travellers! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

When you buy bannanas from a farmer do you need his permission to sell them

It is only that if you buy them in bulk, the unit price is cheaper. And this applies to most other tradeable items. Go to a supermarket near you and you will see what I mean. A kg of kimbo us cheaper that 2 half kgs of kimbo which are in turn cheaper 4 quarter kgs of kimbo. And even where packaging is not an big issue like salt etc. The same applies. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

So, if I go to baba nani's Kiosk tomorrow, tell him I'm buying bulk, to sell me all the airtime he has, I want to load al sh10,000 worth of airtime in my prepaid line, will the unit price be cheaper? @maich, please realize airtime and data bundles offerings have been designed differently. So they're not same. That's why, I believe, the operator has put different business rules! One gives you more value for money, while the other is linear priced. My opinion.

So if you are single,you can buy 20Kg of kimbo since its cheaper an expect it to take your for three years without expiring? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
