Not everyone does that. If so, there will be more online selling sites for HP, than actual HP shops right?
Fact is, people still have more trust in a shop and talking with a sales person that you can actually see his face, rather than buying online. Thats why HP shops flourish like mushrooms.
Haha even in this case my friend, he might still be bashing for sales or commision. Sometimes, different companies/brands have different commision margins for their products. Say for example, if they sell both SGS and HTC Desire, but the sale of 1 SGS gives more commision than the Desire, then the salesman would definately prefer to push the sales of the SGS right?
Its very hard to find an honest sales person. Thats not to say that there isnt any around, but in your shoes as a buyer, its hard to trust 100% the opinions of a sales person. Still the best to do research by yourself right
.
Exactly. I do like to meet up a sales person and talk to him about the product that I am buying. Not that I may not know about the product, but opinions do matter. But when a sales person suddenly go and say "dude, that other product sucks, this one is awesome", that clearly shows his refute towards the rivals. Wait, its not even rivals weh. Both are Android phones lar~
I agree with the fact about the commission percentage too. That is why its very hard to find a reliable sales person. I had a friend John Lim in LowYat whom I always approached for tech talks. He would never be biased and he hardly sold stuff from his own shop to me. He was the best sales person I ever met in the whole LowYat. Alas, too bad, he has quit his job and now works with a bank
That bank is really lucky to have a person like him working with them.

@Shahz, haha yeah, I've known the sensation of cash burning a hole in my pocket.
But seriously, why buy from the douchebag even if you didn't want to knock him down a peg? Can his really be the only place that sells the Galaxy? Giving him custom only validates for him his approach.
Well, there were other shops selling the SGS too. But I wanted to buy it from authorised Samsung outlet because my mom travels a lot and it will save her a lot of trouble if he phone "kong" in a different country. And since I was running out of time, I clearly didn't had any choice. If I started debating with him, I would never had made it for the last buka-puasa that night

there are many approaches to sales. if u feel dat bashing competitor brand is not acceptable, dat is entirely ur own opinion. somebody famous once said, it doesn't matter white cat or black cat, a good cat catches the mice.
for me, ranting and venting in an online forum is an act of a coward. why duncha say direct to hom? to me, proclaiming to be a 'man of peace' but coming to a forum and nag is not an act of peace and acceptance.
I know my stuff. I know what he was selling. I know it better than him and I know it better than you. go and check out my response on your arrogant bashing on Android in the other thread. I'm not trying to initiate a fight here. But if sharing with my Android brothers here is a cowardly act, then so be it. I'm happy sharing with them. And I don't want to correct that guy either. I got away safely. At least someone who reads this today will know what to do tomorrow in this same situation.

Just couldn't imagine these thing will come from you ....
of all people.
But @shahz, doing sale is like that... But I would say be prepared with facts instead of tembak buta.
Yeah, I was indeed armed with facts. That's why I walked to him and asked "dude, do you have an SGS?"..I was in LowYat that day to buy THE SGS..While he was opening the box, testing and what not, I just randomly seeked his opinion on SGS vs Desire..Which I didn't expect to recieve that answer..
