say that you are a regular if you think the price is too high,
woh fatt is your first place to shop when buying equipments
ask for a discount first. if the price is still not to your liking, name a lower price than your expected price, he will most likely counter with a middle value and hopefully that is nearer to your expectation.
for the higher price than expectation, ask him to throw in some gifts, of course he will decline but keep on insisting

this should word for most sellers smile.gif

They'll sure give you the strap and bag if you ask for them. Extra picks as well. You plan to get an epi? Wow, ask them for a hard case then. LOL

be sure to always look for damages on the body, the fret condition, the pickup switch selector condition, the finishing and most important its acoustic sound
if u like it then u know wat to do
=]

if he gives u one with old strings, play till it breaks then request for a change

if u think the price he gives is still to expensive make him throw in spare strings as well

wat time u'll be there?
i'll be in kl so may drop by woh fatt

When I bought my LP-100.... I went with my dad.
We just said..... ok..... How Much?
RM1600.

Are you sure no more discount on that?

Nope.

Ok. We'll take it.

Ohh-kaay! And we also throw in a hard case for you!

Oh that's great. BTW..... will need to buy some picks and a new pack of strings. How much will that cost?

Nevermind lah..... I throw in for free...

...... that's was basically how the conversation went.
And I came back with an LP-100, a Hard Case, Lots of picks (most of them Dunlops!), and a fresh set of Gibson strings.

Yup.... all that for RM1600.....

all epiphones do not come bundled with hardcase.

so certain shops just bundle a hardcase but at a really marked up price.

i think when blacktrix bought his LP-100, that was possibly old stock lying around in woh fatt (pre-2004/2005 model).
lets wait and see what yr it is from him.
then when the prices increased, they also simply increased tongue.gif
thats why they could afford to throw in a hardcase.
i remember seeing epi LP standards jump from RM1800 to RM2200 around then too.

and i dont remember seeing woh fatt having new epi's for quite awhile.

how to tell if old stock? of cos via the serial number.
