Singapore does not always have the best prices and a lot of stores are known to rip off customers--tourists and 'locals' alike.Geardownflap20 wrote:Hi Again,
Sorry to be a pain, I'd like to buy a DSLR and wondered if it would be cheaper to buy it in Singapore when I arrive?
Where's a good place to shop for those sorts of things? On my previous visits, I've felt that as tourists we were being 'ripped off'
Thanks again for the help.

I bought my daughter a full set-up for Poly and after shopping about found their listed price was excellent. No haggling, same price for everyone.

Unethical staff in CP ?? ouch .. that's a first for me ..x9200 wrote:At the end of the day it probably comes to the point that as a frequent customer in this kind of shops you may encounter from time to time some unethical staff.

This was rather a general statement not necessarily targeted at CP but I can PM you some details if you are interested. My bad experience with CP could've been also caused by their negligence so a completely different category.ecureilx wrote:Unethical staff in CP ?? ouch .. that's a first for me ..x9200 wrote:At the end of the day it probably comes to the point that as a frequent customer in this kind of shops you may encounter from time to time some unethical staff.

From what I know, since they started employing 'ethnic' staff to target certain 'ethnic' customers, I realised these salesman/girls are all out for sales .. but luckily since i was not their object of interest, I didn't get hit ..
Interesting ..
