AVOID
shop which is
beside THE CAMERA WORKSHOP
IT IS A CON SHOP (not THE CAMERA WORKSHOP, )
And the shop which is at the corner, beside the lift, beside CATHAY Photo,
IT IS A SURE CON ACT too
generally, i go to Cathay, Alan, MS color, & john X:XX, to check my price, (well, used to go Fotoguide)
well, heck, i even go to The Camera Workshop, to look at my price, or even the secondhand shop beside cathay photo too,
ALL OTHERS, well, to all newbies, if u have followed this 6 pages thread for so long, pls note that the whole affiar can be TRCIKY!!!
even, in my own personal opinion,
i dun like Cathay photo,
as u have to be their regular customers to get better service from them, one of them recognise me, and know that i am willing to spend my $$, so it is something i dun like, imagine, when i can't find him! anyway, i dun recognise that guy now.... after i bought my equipments,
I detest MS color,
MS color got a funny way of working, they like, no should i say, they love, no no, it's their PASSION to requote you this statement, "oh, where did you buy your XYZ? How much is it?" then i tell them how much i paid for my damn stuffs, then what they say, oh YOU should get it from us, as we are cheaper, then he/she quotes me the price by deducting what i just said, well, then i replied, i asked you for the best quote b4 i went other places, remember? and they simply ... zipppp upppp, dodgy people, i say, if i am not wrong, the person in control is this auntie,
Earlier, i said, I seldom check John X:XX out,
num 1, they are too far for me, as they are in funan, and i dun like to go funan, #03 or #04 somemore, or i think is it #02?
and while they were friendly to me the last time, (i heavily suspect becos i looked damn tired, and was with my cam bag) they were quite short and sweet, READ (COLD MERCHANTS) on other previous occasions, plus some of their info are not very accurate, nor the cheapest...
but, i still think i will check it out more often, give them some credit for it....
ALAN PHOTO,
well, it is a funny thing, a camera shop in a PC building, and the most visicious place of all to put your shop, i thought it was a con act like all others too, there were for one thing, platoons of sales men, yet, none of them seem to be doing what they are paid for, other then gathering in tight formations, looking at newspapers, chatting abt the ger opposite, or some other stuff...
AND when they quote you, they do it the sim lim style, always 10% higher... so u got to make them understanbd, u are in the KNOW!!! give them the friendly, yet dun mess with me look, then they would requote you,
IT HAPPENED TO ME< they quote me some price, i know that it is not the cheapest, and they bring it down, cos, thier prices, as i found were the lowest of them abovementioned , but they can be a funny group of merchants... that said...
so now, you asked me, am i a plant from CASE? i dun have any good thing to say,
(well, you have not heard what i gotta say about 2nd HAND shops yet!!!, those are the masters of evil! not all, some)
well, so how do i get my stuff?
well, where do u think u got these stories from? i paid my sch fees, that's why....
i sure wish someone have start this thread earlier, now in retrospect to what WanTun said, i must agree with him, NOT ALL SHOPS ARE THAT BAD,
i bought my stuff from some of these shops too, and they are okay, as it is a combi of cheap price, screw up service,
or okay price, okay service, or bad price, great service,
what i even pay for bad price? yes, but if it is a great, informative service, where i could trust the person on the equipment, etc, that's why people go to caTHAy isn't it???
okay, i guess this ought to be my last contribution on this thread, i may consider thjis my last to this topic,
AND TO WAN TUN, if u are reading this, no hard feelings, and thanks for your valued contributions,
boy, am i happy, we made this one of the most viewed topic!!!!
great, thjis is the internet age, wheere hopefully, we inform ea other to prevent ea other from being connn.
last words....
let's enjoy life, & be a useful Member of Mankind.
