ditzy SG

Only people with big fat wallets buy stuff from challenger. Laughing

Correction: people with big fat wallets buy things from ANYWHERE, without any considerations. Mr. Green

photo_seeker SG

If you really feel cheated, get your receipt, go back to them and ask for refunds cause they have a return policy if I’m not wrong.

my sister bought a creative cable and was overcharged by more than $15.

fugue in C minor SG

That's nothing. I've heard about idiots who kana "cut carrot head" by hundreds of dollars.

FireIce SG

if there is no RRP, it's up to the shop to set the price

so there is no overcharging or undercharging

jus how stupid or how clever u are to go find the deals

fugue in C minor SG

i have like 7-8 spare thumbdrives at home lol .. all stolen from my school hahahaha. Dont really see the need to buy Twisted Evil

newmanmback SG

okay the think is do you really need a thumbdrive? if yo really need it for whatever purpose then why not look at it as you will fully utilize it for the purpose of the function. the returns is invaluable if you look at it in a different perspective. there are ppl who like to always change this change that...and see any best deal in town free gift will go and buy and dun really care if they need the item or not then go brag about how many cheap deals they got so aren't they wasting money also.

use the thumbdrive and use it wisely with care....that's every cent's worth

Mr. Green

...i headr someone got free thumdbrive...can giv me on 1Gig 1?

MooKu SG

Why are you so proud to be a thief? Rolling Eyes

ShutterBug SG

No, you didn't get cheated.

It's the same thing when you eat local dishes; if you eat Hokkien Mee in an airconditioned foodcourt, don't expect the same price in outdoor hot and humid hawker centers.

You paid over $70 because Challenger has a lot of staff and high rentals to cover. It's logical.

Next time, shop at Sim Lim Square.

lonestar86 SG

ya, agree with that..
I believe Funan the IT mall is for tourists..
Yes, go Sim Lim Square and u can definitely get a lower price for everything..
Cus there r jus too many competitors ard, that's y we can get lower prices..
U must visit each and every shop (from storey 1 to 6) to ask for the price for the same item in order to find the lowest price..
Can bargain too.. (its a MUST..) Laughing
Thats what I always do..
Must be patient..
Although its quite tiring, it gives satisfaction.. Very Happy
Try it..

Recently, Ive jus bought an iPod nano 2GB from Sim Lim Square..
I paid $289 for it..
The cheapest I can find in Sim Lim Square (I hope Im right..)
Spent hrs running up and down just hope to get the lowest price..
Btw, highest price for an iPod nano 2GB Ive encountered is $348..
While the lowest is $289 (there might be shops which sell at a lower price)..
Thats almost $60 difference..

Rem, always said this to the sales person..
Lower down the price lah.. Laughing

CALVARY: when it comes to us consumers, it’s caveat emptor or ‘let the buyer beware’. You should have shopped around a bit.

newmanmback SG

i tink should hav one counter at the lobby at sim lim andyone wanna buy something can ask thru a mic and then the shop with the lowest price wins annouce the shop location and the intended buyer can proceed to the shop to collect/ inspect and pay for the item...hehe just jokin lah but i agree SLS got many shops and competition quite tough there but for ppl DIY its a one stop shopping location so get most of what u need Mr. Green

skyfoo SG

i nv step into funan before, SLS is my only place to shop for com and it stuffs.

lonestar86 SG

thats a gd idea.. Very Happy
so that we can save lots of time running ard the building..
actually theres an information counter at lvl 1..
but too bad we cannot use it to make any public announcement..
or else all the potential buyers will gather ard the counter liao.. Laughing

ShutterBug SG

Actually, in Sim Lim Square, you can pretty much buy anything at a good price at any shop you come by without shopping around much.

ALMOST all the shops there are selling IT stuff and gadgets cheaper than anywhere else.

Take for example the O2 XDA IIs PDA phone. Everywhere I looked outside of Sim Lim Square, it is well above S$1300.00. I bought my XDA IIs in Sim Lim Square and it's ONLY S$845.00!! I was so happy after that I went and have Sushi lunch!

I Hardly bargain in SIm Lim, I find stuff there are already dirt-cheap!

But sometimes, when things are too cheap, I get suspicious.. don't knwo whether reliable or is it a re-conditioned product or something...
