tuasbird 2 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks bro... have u buy anything from them?? Izzit really cheap??Hi Shawn! For my hob & hood, got the package price at citygas as $648, down $30 fm the previous year's. The sales auntie there, however, gave me a 'very special price' of $610. At that point, I thinketh the $10 is her final 'defence' so presumed this Hobz set to be just $600 if can bargain thru successfully.Unselfish RT forummers here commented G.ah bee, n on way to my new place I did drop-by n guess wat? The exact same set/model is sold there at...$535 nia!!! Needless to say, On liaoz as delivery all incl! Btw, I oso wana comment on the delivery guy (hobz's) - he's a hokkien -speaking uncle, very friendly, very careful with my purchases, very approachable!

whitefantasy 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 I went to those big shop to enquire for fridge pricing and after comparing with those smaller retail shop n realize they are cheaper by another $300 plus but cash payment only.Those big shop say not sure why they able to sell so cheap and mention rather impossible and ask me to be careful of the possibility of getting a display instead of new set? And as a consumer we not able to tell as some display set r quite well maintained and with carton boxes. I was wondering how true is it? And if we buy fm those big shop means we will be safe of getting a new set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as a consumer we not able to tell as some display set r quite well maintained and with carton boxes. I was wondering how true is it? And if we buy fm those big shop means we will be safe of getting a new set?Well, why those big named electronic shop are selling at higher prices is due to one word, "Marketing". They paid so much on advertisement, radio advertisement, tv advertisement, newspaper advertisement, and whatever medium that helps in advertising. All these advertisement adds up a big sum, and of course these expenses are not going to eat into their profit. Rather, it is going to be paid by all the consumers who bought the product from them. Small retail shop are able to sell at cheaper price, is because they don't go by those expensive advertisement, their advertisement is done by their customer through words of mouth. And the sales person who told you that, it may be a display set, is trying to smoke you into buying their product. Where can they find so many display sets in Singapore to sell at that price yet fulfill all the consumer's demand? Beside, those small retail stores, they do not have that much of space to display all the models. Only specific few, and they will only show you the models via catalog. So, that explains why they can sell at cheaper price. The location and rental plays a big part as well. Those big names store is always at the shopping mall etc.. All these comes with money, so these expenses is being paid by consumers. See the picture?If the small retail shop can sell the same brand and model of product at this price, you can see how much those big named company earns. And why they can always extend and opens a new branch. Edited August 2, 2011 by MingzhuAng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
