I had my day with exploiting computer accessories people

Just a few days ago,my brother's keyboard got messed up and stopped working after his little girl spilled tea.So we headed to town in search of a new one but it proved too hard because his laptop is one of the oldest model.The model is HP 100E mini-laptop.In our walking around in the various computer accessories,we were met with the notion that finding keybord of such a laptop model was next to impossible.But we forged on until we came to a stall that had them in stock but the owner was selling it at a bit expensive price.He put it that his price included even the service for installing the keyboard.But I told him that I only needed the keyboard and the rest I would do it on my own and he was not willing to reduce the price.
I lost hope completely and as I was about to board a vehicle home,a guy whom we had met on a WhattsApp group and had promised to call back if he found something called me and directed me to his stall.The good news was he had the keyboard that I so desperately needed and his price was much lower than the others in his line of business and what's more ,there were no charges in installing it.So I went home a happy guy.

I am so happy to know that you found what you needed Wayflay at a decent price too a fair man he was. It is tough to find some older keyboards. And you installed it yourself and works fine!
