Hi! I am really looking forward to meeting y'all and challenging you with the many questions that I have. I have never bought photo equipment in Sing b4 and with a shopping list of several thousand $, I really need some expert advice.

I arrived in Singapore on the weekend for a three month stay with family. I run a photographic business at my university in England. My business is expanding and we need to buy several cameras, lenses, & accessories at once. As it is a student run business the prices must be very low. I thought the best idea was to ask each of the biggest stores for their most competitive prices. Who do you think I should ask? I have prepared a letter to submit to each store, if your curious please find it attached. Do you think this is a good idea? What would you do if you had to buy ALOT of equipment!?

Just to clarify I am wondering:

• Which are the cheapest stored in Sing for placing large orders?
• Is it a good idea to make them compete against each other so that I get the lowest price?
• What would you do if you had to buy all this equipment?
• Is there anything I haven't thought of!?
• Would you like to add anything to my order so that it may be cheaper to you!?

Hope this is food for thought. Can't wait to hear your replies and meet you later this evening.

Thanks for your help, Owen.

ps. I shall be wearing a green hat, grey t-shirt. How do i recognise you!?

Hmm.. after the experience today, I guess we do need a sign.
Like as big as the Nikon bag I was carrying today... (wrong choice of bags...)

You guys think it's illegal to put up big signs disguised as paper bags on tables?
I've noticed that bright blue and yellow really stands out in a normal food court scene... Any opinions?
