tension_z 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 just wait. it pays to wait. Price decrease or will remain, will seldom increase. If a certain model increase, don't buy that model, choose another one.wait for IT fair in march if u r not in a rush.. those LCD TV are often 100-300 lesser than retail and comes with many freebies.

Hi Tension, thanks for the quick reply...........IT fair in march? u are refering to SITEX or COMMEX isit? Cause i found a store whom prices are pretty competive said if i put a deposit of $200, i will lock down the price. If in the future, the prices goes down, den the price will be adjusted downwards also. I.E. the price i pay will not be increasing instead will only decrease.What are your comments?

tension_z 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 is the store a neighbourhood shop? *not bias towards any shop. imo, I will never want to commit a deposit for electronic product when I don't want to buy so soon. when store owners want a deposit, it is always on a very nice talking term, like everything also can. Those lock down price etc, but once deposit is taken, yes maybe the price is cheaper,do check out for actual accessories that comes with the things u buy, do a research 1st.Don't be conned by paying extra for the accessories when it actually come free.Let the shop owner be aware that you know the product inside out.but if the owner insist that the accessories dont come in a package, what can you do? U already paid a deposit, this I am sure NON-Refundable.just think of it, u pay deposit to lock down the price, without deposit, say 2 months -3 months later, you want to buy, as awalk in customer, you will also get the lower price, isnt it? not as if it is going to be more expensive.is the shop able to match other shops' prices if they are lower?all these must write in a receipt.but...pay deposit already, the worry is there.free urself from that. Pardon my loso-ness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hongss 3 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 Why so kan cheong? it will take a while before your house is ready to move in. Prices will drop when new models release. You can do some research on what you like to buy but try not to buy too early..You can start buying after your reno is completed. By then, the buying process will be fast since you already know what to buy.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 imho, it'll be almost a year before you'll need those electrical itemsyou've not gotten your keys, and i assume yours is a new unit so there'll be defects to be rectifiedi'm sure by the time your renovation is finishing, the price of the appliances will DEFINITELY by lowermost likely, those models will be obsolete by then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
