The way I get ripped off for even small repairs/screws by akina Optica... Once I damaged my specs in Mombasa... the optician was so expensive (on the main street)... I was then referred a back alley guy (duka & all) who did a great job at 50%... My gut tells me the main street guy sent the specs to the back alley guy... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

Very quality stuff @ good rates

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Rank: Member Joined: 7/23/2009 Posts: 526		I really like their attitude/culture towards business.They are the type where if you want an item its available they give you the best rates and of course what else would you as a customer want.If one of our own has an item and is selling at double the price and the chinese fellow is giving u the same at half the price, then why not buy from them. There is a lot to learn from them than burying our heads that they dont exist.But trust kenyans to beat them in their own game.Remember the dukawallahs.We can still drive them out of town and follow them to Inda as the the latter have done. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.
