Guys, I've been lurking around this tered some time now and I just wanted to ask...
GW-3000B-1AJF or G-1200B-1AR? Plus have you guys seen those cheap (fake maybe?) GW-3000s being sold so cheap @ taobao? As low as only 330 Renminbi only... looked so authentic/genuine! |

I dunno... I just like this design...
In fact, I prefer the orange than the blue/white colour... BTW, can the sellers @ taobao be trusted? |

I'd bought tonnes of stuff from eBay, amazon, aliexpress, lelong... No experience with taobao... I'm not saying anything bad about taobao, just that the price is too good to be true...

QUOTE(amoxacilin @ Feb 15 2015, 04:42 PM) Hello sifus, eBay's pricing around 320 with free shipping.. So it's not too bad...I'm new into G-Shock. I've been looking around for DW6900MS-1, in many shop (G-Factory, City Chain, etc2) but seems like they don't having stock for this model. There 1 one shop said that they can ordered for me, can get it in 1 day. They offer me RM350 for it. Is that a good price? |

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Feb 15 2015, 08:56 PM) That bad? Was actually planning to drop by G-Factory at Paradigm tomorrow to check on some models. Planning to get one before CNY Well, it depends on what you're aiming for... Mudman's pricing starts from RM1499, if I'm not mistaken... whereas you can find a nice one on ebay (BNWT) for around 500... Lower ranges' pricing gap (compared to ebay) is not that bad... maybe around 10-30% difference, however for higher-end series like the Gravity Defier, Gravity Master, Rangeman, Frogman... at least min. 100% gap! And our watches are all tax-free... |

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Feb 15 2015, 09:49 PM) anyone tried gx gadgets on ebay before? alternative to g-people. Yup, don't give them a cent. Just like Thong Sia (with Seiko), they are screwing with our hard-earned money. Just like before Lego Corp came into Malaysia, prices of Lego sets were crazy! Now it's more realistic and affordable and we get the sets so much faster! http://stores.ebay.com.my/GX-GADGETS-Online-Store there's no way i'm gonna waste my money on marco units. If only Casio Japan would come in and take over... |

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Feb 16 2015, 11:29 AM) G Factory good place to browse but not good place to buy. take d G Factory prices as maximum price. go other watch shops n look for better price. Well, to be honest, I've been "showrooming" for the longest time. Always check the items you want to buy, in the local physical stores and getting them much cheaper online. Getting stuff all over the internet, i.e. Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Lelong, lowyat... It's not that I do not want to support local stores, but they charge much too high... if it's a 10-15% gap, I'll get it locally. More than that, I'm sorry but I'll look it up on the net.i was browsing their fb page recently n some ppl were complaining about another price increase. G Factory fb admin gave excuse that price increase due to RM to Yen exchange rate. someone did a calculation n even with higher exchange rate, G Factory's price increase way higher. d Mudman u mentioned is probably a Multi Band model that's y its much more expensive den ebay. the non multi band mudman is only RM700 to 800 at G Factory. Yeah, I was looking at the Multiband model. However, since they 'feel' they can get away with that pricing, I'll get it off eBay then... But I must stop my g-shocking buying for this month, already purchased 3 models liao and it hurts my wallet (with CNY around the corner)...  |

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Feb 16 2015, 12:48 PM) 3 models in a month ? or just so far 3 models ? Oh.... one GA-400, one GW-A1000FC, one GW-A1100... already more than RM2,000...  i just got started n i already got one 9300 Mudman recently. now im looking to add maybe a G5600E or G6900-1...or maybe both. since u been showrooming...i wanna ask u something i observed recently. whenever there is a G Factory in a mall...other watch shops in that mall that sell g shocks will no longer give discounts. or they just mark up retail price den give u discount. but d discounted price just ends up d same as G Factory price. i went to Paradigm mall to look at g shocks. G Factory no discount...that's expected. 2 other watch shops i went to also don't want to give discounts. another shop marked up prices by RM100 to 150 more than G Factory. have u noticed this in other malls with a G Factory ? I'm sorry, but I never ask for discounted pricing from G-Factory... already know their tactics of price control. My suggestion is to try the shops at Ground Floor, Sg Wang and Pertama Complex... This is expected from the sole distributor in Malaysia, in fact most of the sole distributorships in Malaysia practices this method of maximizing profits. Which is why I stated previously, unless the parent company comes in and takes over from those so-called exclusive distributors, the situation for us consumers will not be optimistic in pricing. So we will always have the eBays and the Amazons to elevate the pain of our hobbies...  |
