Reporting from Tokyo... Status update

[jsbn]

Ok guys,all those whom I had collected the moola from u to get some stuff. Unfortunately, this sucks but had walked Shinjuku and Akihabara and went from big shops like Yodobashi, BIC Camera, Sakuraya...

Its most unfortunate that none of the items are available. I get replies like, "No more", "Out of stock", "Don't have", "Not Selling".

For those whom I had collected the money, I will transfer ur deposit back by Thursday 2359H. All those who had placed a deposit with me:

- Trigger Happy
- zcf
- DCA
- dr34mc4st3r
- codling
- hpleong
- the mac 13
- fatmansatay
- muko

Please PM me with the following information immediately (DO NOT SMS ME UNLESS U WANNA WASTE YA MONEY ON OVERSEAS SMS):
- Bank type (POSB Savings, DBS Savings, DBS Current, etc, etc)
- Bank Account Number

Sorry to disappoint all of u. I had expected Japan to stock at least some Minolta but if there's any Minolta stuff I did see, it would be the Rocket Blower branded Konica-Minolta.

Millions and gadzillions of apologies! :sweat:

no problem lah.... now we know... KM is dead...

wah that's too bad man. sorry to hear that you went to all that trouble.

on the bright side, once the sony cam and lenses are released, hopefully accessories will be much easier to find. even if cannot get in singapore, can still MO from overseas. just be patient i guess.

??? I saw a number of KM stuff the last time I did my rounds. In the smaller stores that is, bigger chains prob cleared their stocks to them.

 

[hpleong]

No worries........thanks for the effort.........we are all appreciative.......enjoy yourself in Japan

 

[zcf]
