Gimmicks at Electronics Fair?
-
i also have wasted my time and effort before @ audxx xxx,
BETTER to go to harvey norman or Best denki -
I was at Singapore Expo last month for some work-related matter and chanced upon an electronics fair by C****s. The gimmick for that fair was that everyday, there would be some items offered at \"special\" price, and only limited units available. They kept track of how many units sold by issuing coupons at the door, so only those with coupon were entitled to make the purchase at the \"special\" price.
I went in and bought myself a new Jug Kettle at sale price of $21, down from the \"original price\" of $29. This item was not one of the daily limited specials.
The following day, I was back at Expo to continue with my work. During a break, I walked pass the fair again and discovered that the jug kettle I bought a day earlier was the daily limited special for that day!!
But guess what the \"special\" price for that day was?? Yep....$21!
I went into the show floor and found that the display price for that kettle was now $29. Even better was the promoters were telling passersby that with or without coupon, we could buy the kettle at $21 that day. So the \"limited\" offer was not limited at all!
My work completed and I didn't go back for a third day. But I'm pretty sure the kettle would be on \"sale\" at $21 again. :roll: -
maybe it is also selling at $21 at their stores at normal time? :?

Yeah…I wonder that too, but didn’t bother to go check.

Yes. Ask them to give best price so that you can decide on the spot. I did with Harvey norman. The salesman cut $200 of the price of the TV set i was eyeing and i bought on the spot. Of course, do your market research first.

$200 was quite a good bargain but was it a sample set that they were clearing or was it a brand new stock? -
