it's not the first time ma.. that time I was scouting around for
Nintendo DSlite also like that. Lucky Plaza selling 190 when
elsewhere 240..
I thought got so good so I went down see see, after a few ask
arounds, can tell they are all linked with each other.. then I
settle down at a shop, yea he's ah beng, and asked for a black
colour set.
He went out and brought the DISPLAY set filled with scratches
and finger prints, and tried to "tell" me it's brand new. LOL, then
I politely refused and ask him for the white colour one. This White
one is really new one, BUT he refused to let me test it, or examine
its exterior, and cannot go further than the first white loading
disclaimer screen, which means I can't check for dead pixels.
"sorry hor, once you touch it considered second hand. so cannot
touch."
then I was actually okay with it, however before he actually
showed the set to me, he went to the back of the shop and hide
behind a partition and apparently very suspicious.
After his demo, he tell me, "sorry, 190 is without batteries. I
put batt for you liao, it's 68 dollars." I was like, wth. But i was
firm. I know he would not be pleased if I reject after all the
demonstrations. I came up with an excuse, "Well, it looks great but
I actually more interested in the Black one which you don't have a
newer one."
He was glaring at me lo.. but I just say "thanks for the demo,
sorry about it" and walk out. I ended up buying at a decent comic
shop for $239 plus warranty and it is free to try and test for dead
pixel.
