Besides, 90% of computer stores in SLS publish their price lists and the worst thing that may happen here (at the stage of purchasing) is a GST surprise.JR8 wrote:I've got great deals at SLL, but then I've gone in knowing precisely what I want, gone shop to shop for prices, narrowed it down to a few, and then haggled.
Like common sense would suggest you might do!

Agreed. Most times, the waiter's/chef's recommendations are based on what's the current bestseller. I wouldn't mind knowing that either, to see what the majority consider good.x9200 wrote:I don't know, actually on average I have pretty good opinion about Singapore restaurants so even if my taste could be different I may be simply interested what the waiter/chef consider worth to be recommended.

Get it ?
I didn't get the mentality of going to one store and believing the shop-kid who said the adaptor was the best price in the mall. How much of a mug do you have to be to take that at face value?ecureilx wrote:Ah curious post: did it ever occur to the TS that the 'cheaper' shop had a promo price ??![]()
I know, I know - I used to sell stuff in Sim Lim - and well, atleast my employer that time never cheated, but, we used to get complaints that such and such a shop is expensive or this shop is cheaper - mostly, the buyer conveniently forgets to say the thumb drive was given at 5 $ when he bought a 2,000 $ laptop, or .. over-looks the fact that the shop selling printers at half price is in a hurry to clear stock - and yah, once you are there you will know the margins they make, and when you get locked with dead stock - you loose everything
My take on Sim Lim ?? I avoid the camera/electronic shops in the 1st floor and second floor - yet to hear a computer shop cheated somebody .. unless the customer tempted the seller to add some 'options'![]()
One or two years ago I stumbled across a topic in the hardwarezone forum on one shop selling fake sandisk cards. I cross-verified them with the googles and there were more complains. IIRC it almost got to the legal suit stage.ecureilx wrote: My take on Sim Lim ??
