because as gamers its our duty to buy games that have a good price tag and if we are ambitious and honest we will inform of would be gamers not to shop there.

That's not a gamer's duty, that's a consumer's right smile.gif

Anyhoos, I don't see why everyone is an uproar. Like you mentioned, anyone who has common sense will avoid buying at KLCC. If Wizshop is selling higher than market price, it is their right as a seller. It's just like any other item in shops, all have their RCP (Recommended Consumer Price) but not everyone follows them. Some may sell lower, some may sell higher than the RCP.

Sorry for spouting all this, but I am in the retail business. Of course, as a gamer, I think Wizshop sucks for selling at such obvious high prices. But as a retail person, I can understand why, considering the KLCC market and the KLCC crowd, which is more for the high-income people. And remember, KLCC rental is for sure not cheap. Many businesses have been driven out of places like KLCC and Mid Valley because of the high rentals, despite the crowd.

If a retailer is ripping people off, consumers will go away. Then the retailer has two choices:
a) lower down prices
b) gulung tikar
If Wizshop can survive selling the X360 at 2K, then so be it. They must have one hell of a salesman who can talk the talk. A consumer has the right to choose, ALWAYS. If they choose to believe the salesman, it's their choice.

Sorry for the boring retail lecture, but I really don't get why everyone's so mad with the KLCC shops. It's obvious that shops in KLCC, 1 Utama, Mid Valley will sell stuff at high prices because of the high-end crowd and the high cost of rental. Has been like that since day one. That's why most of us buy at Imbi/TNL/Play Asia, since we are smart enough to choose the proper places to buy smile.gif
