Sim Lim Square: Dont Get Cheated !
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Name of Shop: Sim Lim Square

    did my research well bac at home.i was very clear to buy PanasonicGS180.Went around most of the shops and found the best price list .Returned to this shop "MOBILE HUT" who quoted the best price .Just before closing the Deal, salesman introduced another camcorder and started of showing visual difference . He started off with all tech jargons and specifications of lower end model which v didnt realise. He offered the same price as of panasonic and in addition offered loads of accesories as free with JVCGr350 .i Just missed to take the print of the camcorder ratings and got carried away with the saleman talk .He even assured us tat he will take it bac the nxt day if v r'nt happy with it .Went back to hotel and surfed and found he offered us Low end model with a price tag of around $300 less than wat v got . Though v went back to return the camcorder, it was just a futile attempt !
    Steps to follow
    1.Take a print out of the price list and specifications which u intend to buy. very important !
    2. Go to mustafa(Discount store) find the price tat they quote.
    3. From level 1 and level 2 check the prices of the product which has the price tag.
    4. Now start with the other stores asking for Best price and the accessories tat they can offer . Here u have to haggle a lot .
    5. Be ready to walk out of shop ! dont worry abt the grumpy look of salesman and attack on ur character tactics(Saying u r stupid if u dont buy this !) . No emotions . keep looking out .
    6.Once finalised the price for the camcorder u want to buy,dont ever try checking their other camcorder demos.The lens are changed to show bad performance of teh product u wish to buy and try to show a lower end model as best .
    7. Shortlist the best shop and take a new sealed pack. Check the various function of the sealed pack new product .Get all the accesories for free.
    8 .Take the GST refund form .All shops provide it for price of s$300 and more
    9.Take the international gurantee Card.
    10. Take the bill that lists all the product .
