i think maybe because they lazy to layan u coz u might kacau them getting more $$..so they ask u to go straight to the service centre...

But within 7 days, u can request for a one-to-one swap. He's juz an ass..y bother

i did bought from him
two laptop...

1st acer duo -it around imbi dun remember what da shop's name
n 2nd giga - networld

because the price he offer was cheaper..

but unlucky for me..

that 2 laptop alwaz..had a prob..

n oso im still lucky coz..its in warranty..

he was a nice seller though..

p/s i bought compaq in year 2000..
it still as healthy at its is...

May i know Wat brand lappy give u so many problem?

haha, u know most of the laptops they sell only got RM40 profit margin per unit.
For certain low end model they just earn RM20.
SO since the market trend doesn't allow them to earn more, they have to tell you to go to service centre instead for after sales service.

RM20 for selling a laptop costing RM2000? That is absurd!! Don't believe everything people tell you unless you really know the truth. RM2000 product, the profit is at least RM100. These sales man very smart to bluff just saying profit is only RM20. Usually, they get in bulk to have bulk discount from distributor.

LOL..u seems to know everything? But again..you are wrong.

I know alot of contacts around lowyat and i know their costs of the notebook they are selling. I wont tell you how many percentage they are earning, but there are times when this seller are just earning merely RM50 for a RM3k notebook. So maybe that's y he's kinda lazy for after-sales services..which i strongly disagree this way of doing business.

I never thought the profit will be so low for selling a laptop. Anyway, the attitude of the seller will prevent more people from buying goodies from him.

ah dun quite rmmber d..but it pearl white gigabyte..
i bought it for my sis...ill ask later..

i am planning to buy a laptop from him, ask his shop name also but refuse to tell me, meet him at Starbuck tomorrow...any advise?

Why botther buying something from someone if they are so secretive?

wah... i digged on his notebook thread for several days liao.. tot wanna buy a nice cheap notebook.

Now hearing all this, all my case study gone down the drain...

But i guess i should be relief that knowing him act as such.....

So he just lose another support. GJ there.!

So little profit meh? I normally markup mine about 10-20% from my distributer then sell..

Then again, I'm in Sarawak so its still cheaper then retail

it is not the amount profit that determines the quality of the After-Sales service.

if you found out the profit is small..and predicted how far the after sales service can go..just do some calculation and decide whether you wan to do the business or no.

it is either u do it good..or u don't do it..no such thing as low profit, no need care after sales..

er actually, what austin says does make sense, and has truth in it.

RM20 profit? How are they going to survive with that amount of income? Not everyday can sell laptop you know

lol, apologize and give cheaper price after his friendster has been revealed...bfore that still can lcly. good luck la u name oso smelly oredi.

notkidding, i noe the exact pricing...so o dare to say his margin is rm 20-40 only..cover petrol and parking oredi rm 10
like my stuffs....margin for some items only rm5 coz some stupit dealer from same line who do not know how to conduct business..lol

yup, duno y he still so active in selling laptop with such low margins.
i will buy a asus laptop from him for my neighbour soon too.

People selling lappie are not focused on lappie, it's true their profit are low, and if add more free gift, it will be more even low. You want to know why they still want to sell it? They are selling to reach some certain target. They might get freebies, maybe u sell 100 u get 1 lappie or phone or something like that. Just my 2 cents since i work at Acer b4, so it's normally something like that
