In response to shops receiving lots of criticism from customers (thread: Cheater shops you should avoid), let's lavish some praise on some of our favorite shops/suppliers out there.

Here are some of the sellers that I'd recommend

1) alexwlh

Reason for support: Very responsive to my sms-es and does doorstep delivery at 8.30 PM for obscure games that aren't available from other shops. Few sellers would do that and that's really commendable,

Number of transactions with him: 1 and counting

2) nelsonkoay

Reason for support: Very cheap pricing for certain games. I remember Killzone 2 R3 was much cheaper from him than from other shops and I bought Legends of Wrestlemania R3 at a price that was around RM 30 cheaper than other shops!

Too bad he is in Puchong most of the time and his staff at Connaught are half-past-six. I still deal with nelson but I'd hope that his sfaff at Connaught are more well trained before being placed there.

Number of transactions with him: 15+++

3) ooj

Reason for support: Probably the only game rental service that does dispatch service to Cheras. I've been moaning about a lack of it for a long time and finally he implements it. It's good that he listens to feedback and does not do what most sellers would do by saying 'look somewhere else if you ain't happy.'

There was once where I wanted a game that wasn't available when I was free to meet him to exchange my game, when the game I wanted was available, he was willing to post the disc to my house even though I had the other game in hand with me. In my opinion, that's top class service from a seller if you ask me.

Though Ben, you do need more copies for certain games. Hopefully when business prospers, you'll be able to get more copies for popular games.

FF13 demo?

Do you guys get special pricing from alex? I must claim mine next time as well in this case.

Anything, really. I don't think any of us discriminate against good service

We have a similar thread in General Consoles Couch? I thought that was a shop-bashing one.

You've just answered it for him.

Would buy games from him more frequently if I had cheaper prices from him for the more-popular games. : /

Well perhaps, there are other shops other than the ones listed that deserve a mention. More specifically, I was hoping to hear more positive feedback regarding transactions from buyers.

I wonder how they manage to survive. Then again, all three shops in Cheras Leisure Mall sell Racthet and Clank for RM 199.

I do think that there's a trade-off between cheaper prices and better quality in terms of service.

Yeap, I agree. Thanks for steering the topic back on track.

You been to allen's shop? How's it? I've not been there - heard a lot of cursing from either him or customers or staff.

I did not say that. I just thought that there was one staff who was particularly rude to me and my friend when we inquired on the pricing and availability of certain games. Since then, I've not been there but nelson's a decent guy, if he spends more time in Connaught (or his wife), I'd be glad to do business with him.

I am a regular customer (bought 10+ games from him - perhaps not as regular as you guys ) and I get small discounts from him on games here and there but that's it.

I'll call him and bargain on the phone next time.

I like nelson, his bro, his wife and Ben last time. The one with dyed hair needs training!

Never been to his shop before as well.

Well since this thread was brought to my attention, I no longer buy games from nelsonkoay unless he's the only one that supplies it. I'd rather pay an extra RM5-RM10 to allen or alex than face his RUDE and INCOMPETENT staff.

I went there and this staff had his friends there joking in cantonese. I can assure you they aren't customers because they were watching some movie on the widescreen TV. I went there wanting to look if there were any decent offers for used games while looking if a game I was looking for was available but the staff there was very reluctant to serve me and show me the games and asked me to look through the counter even though those fellas were blocking the counter watching the movie.

When you left, I also did not frequent there often any more.

OT: Can DL? I am so desperate to create my own basketballer for the draft

BUMP

I have not been into gaming for quite a while but I notice that there are sellers who create duplicate accounts that bump their own topics and create false sales.

Are there any more unethical things that traders do in LYN?

Could users be kind enough to let me know which sellers are doing so because between two sellers that sell me something for the same price, I'd rather support the one whom is ethical. I'm no saint but I believe good/ethical service deserves to be rewarded.

Thanks.

Perhaps PM me if you aren't too sure if you should discuss traders' names in public ?

Kyo, pm me the juice. I don't know who you guys talking about.
