Another overpriced shop @ Sim Lim

[hASHbrown_kopitiam]

i'm posting this thread to warn other fellow photographers about a shop at Sim Lim Sq.

I had an experienced very recently with a corner shop at the 1st storey of Sim Lim Sq(near the bubble lifts)< Quite obvious it is a Camera shop

I bought a wireless remote from them and only to found out 3 days later that i'm over priced by 4times.

I went down with the recommended price printed from the camera's official website. What the guy can do is just say that they import from Japan. I asked for prove and he decline. Just say that they import and selling at that price, they are losing money.

Going down to CASE and blacklist them...

Lesson learnt. Check price before going out to buy.
:angry:

Anyway, believe in karma...
One day, that salesman will get cheated or shortchanged by others too...

good to complain about them to CASE..
and get blacklisted...Anyway, I think you can start another post and just put "$60 remote control by xxxxx"

Stated down the name of the camera shop loud and clear to warn others...

You need not say anything else....in case they take legal actions, but it is 100% legal to post the price of the RC that you bought from them in here.

So long you got receipt to prove it, why not? They will not have the "Balls" to take legal action. :bsmilie:

Who knows, that joker might be reading this now :think:
