Cheated by salesman’s sales tactics, false info on product and overcharging at Sim Lim Square, Singapore
This is my personal experience. Cross check with many shops before you buy.
On 16th August 2005 I had decided to buy video camera (i.e. camcorder). Same day evening I went to Sim Lim Square, Singapore. I was actually interested in buying Panasonic NV-GS150 model. I heard that Panasonic is very good in camcorders. I enquired in one shop; the salesman said that the price of NV-GS150 is S$1235.00. Afterwards visited another shop, asked the price of NV-GS150, the salesman said S$900.00. Immediately I got interest with the price that he mentioned. Started asking more. He said to me that if you confirm to buy I will show the demo. I said him that I will buy. Well, he started showing the demo of NV-GS150, after few minutes, he introduced another camcorder Samsung VP-D455i for the price of S$1100.00 and started explaining about VP-D455i. He had told me that VP-D455i is very better than NV-GS150. Even though my inside minds do not like to buy VP-D455i, because of his sales tactics I was decided to buy VP-D455i.
Next day I thoroughly checked, and found that it is not at all meeting my expectations. I have found that I have been cheated by salesman’s sales tactics, false info on product and overcharging.
I enquired the price of VP-D455i in Mustafa shopping center, Singapore; Mustafa’s salesman said that the price of VP-D455i is S$699/- (Including better freebies) and the price of NV-GS150 is S$1345.00. After seeing 400 dollars difference, my disappointment worsened.
What I achieved is that money loss, disappointment, time waste; product is not meeting the price level (means high price for available features). It is complete disappointment.
