Just sharing my BAD experience AT SIM LIM SQURE.
Especially when you see those salesman standing around those shop.
I once look for a video camera. Most store will quote the standard price let say 2500 for a video camera b4 GST. Then when got quote for something like 2000 and even 1850 inclusive GST*. so i think i should buy.
Here the trick come.
you will notice, they never put those stock in the shop.
They invite you in. then the game started.
first they will show you the camera that you interested with..., they will pretend to check for the stock, they will even said they have stock.
then they will try their very best to show you other product WHILE STOCK NOT ARRIVE YET, THEY DO THIS TO HOLD YOU IN THE SHOP THEN SHOW YOU OTHER PRODUCT. -- this is trick, why let me tell you.
They will wash your mind by showing to you how good is the other product with the SMALL LCD screen and SMALL TV, come to the point they notice you interested with the product, then the BARGAIN COME.
SERIOUSLY that is the FACT -- they have no intension to sell the product to you at that price - they just want to get you IN and sit down, Then all their intension is TO SELL YOU OTHER PRODUCT- WHY - BECAUSE that product you have not survey before, THEY MAKE YOU STUPID, AND GIVE YOU A SKY HIGH PRICE AND YOU BARGAIN ON IT.
Product which they show me, salesman quote me 2200, you know how much the same item sell next store.. IT IS 750.... , THEY MAKE YOU BARGAIN... how much u want? -500 ? -1000 ? are you able to judge, even u can say -1000, i tell you, you not dare to say it because as you know, possible salesman will make fun of you. SO THEY USE THIS TRICK... once you do the bargain they WILL HOOK YOU..... because YOU SHOW THE INTENSION.... and if you don't buy HAHAHAH THEY WILL DISGRACE you in the PUPLIC... HOW true TRY YOURSELVE. and the best part is if you -1000 that mean price will be 1200+5%gst=1260, they still earn you extra 472!!!! you think you got real bargain?? u need to find it out yourself
How do i know they have now intension to sell you.
1) when i get the quote at 1850, i sit there listen to him for one hour, i asked few time if the stock here, he said yes we have, but never bring out the stock. They try to sell me other stock... which i am not interested, finally then come to the selling of the product you look for...
-- first the salesman will pull down his face
-- come to the money part which he said, OK - as this is 1850 then there will be no warranty... i think for a while then said OK... then he as how u make payment --- credit card -- he said need to add 2.5% -- wow then i said i use NET.. OK -- come again he said as this is no warranty -- later i will put a big remark in the receipt that " NO WARRANTY "" -- then i said OK again ... and come another, he pull out the calculator and cound 1850 + 0.5% nets +GST!!!! 5% - initially he said no GST now he claim to have GST--- then i argue, he said is ok you can come back again ... the i said OK again--- THEN HE SAID NO STOCK !!!!!!!!!!
2ND Attempt: My friend.
-- found one shop quote 2000, without GST -- the we said OK when make the payment, come the warranty issue AGAIN... - my friend said OK --- then NO STOCK again, my friend say don't mind to take the display set ... YOU KNOW WHAT SALES MAN SAID " THAT DISPLAY SET IS PUT THERE BY VENDOR SO CANNOT SELL"
GUIDE TO BUY IN SIM LIM:
1) Not to go there before you survey somewhere else.
2) Not to buy item that you are never survey before.
3) Must check out all the possible store around for the standard price.
4) Buy only those who quote you around 5% cheaper then the standard price.
I had been getting this for the 4th time. Believe it or not Try yourself out.
