My netbook's AC adaptor broke down. Not too surprising, considering that it's already 4 years old.....
I went to NUS Co-Op to get a new adaptor. They were asking for $89.
So I decided to go to Challenger at Clementi. They were asking for $59.
And since I happened to have a Challenger membership, I got 10% off.
Challenger is cheaper than NUS Co-Op. Amazing.

and almost everything in Sim Lim is cheaper than Challenger with the membership discount..
i was stunned when one fella in corp comms was using his membership card and buying everything for the department, while collecting the points...
he was kinda pissed off with me after i started buying everything for them after they found out i could get it cheaper at places like House of Mouse

I checked out Sim Lim before a few months ago. Around $50 for a used AC adaptor.
I'd rather pay the extra five bucks for a brand new one.
Besides, Sim Lim is pretty out of the way for me. And I need a new adaptor, stat.

Sim Lim is only good if you are buying lots of stuff that it's worth going down to shop
If it's some item I need urgently, the cost of my time and transportation to Sim Lim is just not worth it.
Cheaper to get from Challenger which is 5 mins walk from my home.

Yeah that's what I did when I wanted to put together my PC. The HWZ people advised me to go to the higher floors and recommended some retailers there.
Otherwise, for buying a plain ol' laptop adaptor, that $53 (after discount) adaptor from Challenger works just fine for me. Especially considering that they're selling it for not much cheaper at Sim Lim.
Even if they're having a sale now at Sim Lim, time is money, and I can't spare the time.

ya... tat's depending how much you wanted to buy... If just a piece of adapter then nearby buy can le...I do not understand why some ppl could travel from 1 end of singapore to another end of singapore just becoz of a sale, where they only bought some items and maybe got a $10 bargain... The time and effort and transport cost is probably much higher than the $10 they earned...

That's coz they don't see the opportunity loss la
Seriously some ppl will bitch and cry that X shop is $2 cheaper
You travel there it's already going to be more expensive than if you were to buy at $2 more now
