hmm... what did you buy? usually funan is a bit more expensive i find.Originally posted by kenshin_himura:i toured the whole of SLS and bargained for almost the whole afternoon, but funan stil cheaper after all... -
the computer shop should be no prob bah. as mentioned earlier, get the price guides. SLS cheaper cause there are quite a lot of competition. that's why it's possible to get cheap deals from SLS.Originally posted by ^tamago^:haha. strange wor. i never had issues with SLS.

Whats the point? They can still sell above the displayed price if they wish too.Originally posted by cuebiz:Govt should make a law to force retailer to display prices of their goods.. -
When buying electronics or anything that will cost a bit, always do your homework first!!! Be it handphone or camera or laptop or what not! And go by word of mouth which shops to go to. I think the only decent shop at 1st level of SLS is Alan Photo, but sometimes their staff quite bochup and fierce coz very busy.

What is CASE doing?

It is always healthy to check at least three stores before coming to a conclusion. They would not sell you at a higher price just because you say you need to think first.
Go to at least three stores, make a decision after that, still in time. Never regret over impulse-buying; there is no turning back! -
its not a trick.. under the fair trading act. All prices quoted by sales man must include GST.Originally posted by Agenda:I got cheated because the person ddin't say GST not included
in the end my mp3 = $209 instead of $189 elsewhere where I can buy
Some times when you start to use credit card, they will add another 5% to say its GST to cover their line expenses.
some will say got service charge when use credit card which is TOTALLY wrong! -

Go Bliss is asking to be tok.Originally posted by gohkatkat:not actually.....the last time when i went to simlim to fix my PC......it was at bliss pc.....i think its 04-02 shop........they wanted to dig up some extra cash......its not really trying to be tricky here......but from the facial expression and body language was 100% positively sure they were thinking about trying to cut the customer........
and it was ages last time....but does anyone ever encountered any expereince such as people who sold their USED.....or rather tested motherboards to their customers????.....well i had........later to realise that the bios settings were altered.....luckly it was asus motherboard which was reliable and hardy......never gave me much problem for 3 years.............
anyway it sim lim was once reputed to be a black market once .................hmmmm....wonder if it has anything to do with their sleazy attitude and tricky........ hmmmm....anyways........

small shop in a secluded corner of SLS. -
hhaha SLS is very normal to see this cause they always cheat the tourists ma... this thing took place in hong kong as well... i think some people may have seen it in SG...
The shop displays a sign says psp for only 200 bucks! then when you buy.. they will say.. OH ONLY THE PSP... no battery no memo card... no charger etc etc.. hahha thats a bloody rip off.. in the end the person will end up paying say 20% more to get the item he wants... hhahaha ass holes eh? -
i bought my creative muvo s200 at the 1st storey. cheaper than the PC Show price. only dun have the free speaker but i dun need it.
but yeah they can cheat you abit sometimes. also when u buy those portable media players (with video ones) the salesperson will tell u its mp4 player when it can only playback asf, dat, DivX and wmv. -
Don't know about Bliss. But I always had the impression that costronics prices' are lower than most other shops. What did they do, for your case?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Go Bliss is asking to be tok.
