Good afternoon, dear guests and subscribers of the "Build for Myself" channel!

We are in the final stage of the house - finishing the interior decoration. My wife and I arrived at a hardware store - in Leroy - behind the ceiling plinths. All that is needed - we bought it, left the store with a trolley and without having time to approach the car, I hear a voice behind me: "Brother, wait, wait 1 minute. Listen, don't you need a shura? New, I will give it very cheap, take it for 2.5 rubles "

I turn around and see a guy of about twenty shows me a briefcase. I give my wife the keys to the car - "go with the children, sit down, I'll be right there."

Opens the case and shows a new screwdriver. I roughly own the prices, such a tool costs twice as much from the offered price, but I doubted if it was a fake. Even if it is a fake, it looks like a very high-quality performance.

Of course, there are documents, but there are no guarantee seals or receipts. I say: "Let's go to the car and check, it's more convenient to decompose on the trunk"

I checked both batteries, all switches, speeds, everything works fine.

At first I wanted to take it in silence, but curiosity torments where the tool comes from, they can't steal. Okay, a screwdriver, put it in my pocket and go, but here you need to try ...

Many times I heard from friends that a new instrument is pulled from large construction sites and then offered under construction stores.

I say: - Man, you probably resell another leftist from China?

Torgash: - What are you doing?! Really Hammer, the original, look and the serial is

I looked again, twisted, turned and asked: - I'll buy it and it will break tomorrow, where can I find you? If for 1.5K - then I will take it, especially see it in 2018. Where did you find it? By a miracle, the batteries are alive for 2 years ...

Torgash: - No, I can't drop the price, I have to share.

It is more interesting, it has its own "mafia" apparently ...

I: - I'll take it as you suggest, but understand me - I don't want to shell out money for an instrument of unknown quality and without a guarantee, tell me where did you get it?

He gritted his teeth and softly in my ear - "They got in the way"

I: - I don’t understand who are ours?

Is he: - Well, from the store, the workers take it out to me, and I sell it.

I: - Where do they get it?

Is he: - Yes, how do I know, my business is small. It is clear that not from this store, but from others, but I do not know.

I look, he has already wilted, blabbed everything. Okay, I say, give me 2 thousand and I went. In general, they bargained for 2300 rubles. I got 2500, let's say change, there are no small ones. He didn't have it either. Okay, I think - gave 2500, thanked and took the instrument.

The whole dialogue is a little longer and lasted about 5-7 minutes. Outlined the main points that convey the main meaning of the chatter.

From the author

Friends, I'm in a stupor! I don't understand the scheme. As far as I can see, the instrument is not a fake, completely new, but the truth of 2018. I came home, examined it more closely, punched out the serial number. A riddle for me... well, they don't write it off... The price in stores is about 5,000 rubles, on the Internet about 4,500 rubles, for example, in Ya. Market the prices are as follows:

I endlessly see people offering hammer drills, jigsaws, grinders, etc. in the parking lots of building markets. Where from? It is impossible to take out such an amount, they would have sounded all the alarm long ago.
If the person did not cheat, then how much does the security check the sellers at the end of the shift? My guess is that most likely someone from the administrative staff is involved. In addition, around the camera: in the trading floor and in warehouses. This remains a mystery.

Of course, the entire shortage is scattered proportionally to all employees of the store (he himself was a seller at one time), which is probably why it is profitable for some people to engage in theft.

That's all, I hope you liked the article!
