is there a difference between buying from a kiosk shop at the shopping mall, eg Tesco Ampang vs buying from lazada.

i noticed the shop is selling the TX3 Mini at RM499 vs lazada for only RM16x. the salesman told me the following for the price difference - no shop rental cost, no services provided, the box might be recon box, warranty (though the one in the lazada i found provides the same 6 month warranty period), no services, etc

another thing i noticed the shop doesn't recommend kodi or terranium...he said need those app need to constantly 'maintain'. the app he pre-installed will always automatically find the source for me...

any comment sifus?
