He approached him and asked him about his price per bag of cement. The seller stated that his price was N9000 per bag and that he had not changed it since he started selling cement.

He said that he had previously fixed his price based on the cost of transportation and other expenses. He revealed that he only made a meagre profit of N200 on each bag of cement he sold.
