QUOTE(Rafizs @ Sep 22 2018, 01:17 PM) thanks for share. done order Edit: Use shopback get more discount rm80. total rm5769 You are welcome.  Looking at so many sellers now selling the Iphone Xs and Xs Max, scalpers will have a hard time geting rid of their stock. No news of scalpers making big bucks this round huh?

QUOTE(Xirality @ Sep 22 2018, 01:51 PM) They never learn during X time, plenty of stock too. It’s not old times anymore, Apple will have enough stock for everyone. But some did manage to scalp the IPhone X for quite a profit last year. But this year is going to be different. Personally I do not think sales will be as good as a few years ago. QUOTE(invisiblelim @ Sep 22 2018, 01:52 PM) Those able to deliver by 21/09/2018 I think can make more money. I saw many sets can cod in KL already on lyn marketplace. These scalpers are sure fast. |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 22 2018, 01:53 PM) I’m looking at all those listings of RM6000-RM7000 in Garage Sale, most from JB who bought Singapore sets and trying to sell for some RM200 or so profit. I mean I personally wouldn’t give someone that kinda cash or do a bank transfer that big an amount to buy a phone. Those people who do must really be desperate to have the phone quickly or are just plain rich  For RM200 profit is ok la. Not too bad. You have to take into account the trouble of buying and bringing the phones over here too so you can cod comfortably here in KL. Many online sellers like T&L and Mobile2GO is helping by keeping scalping to a minimum. |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 22 2018, 02:01 PM) Ya, true. I’d go with the online sellers or buy retail, hopefully those scalpers end up having to sell at cost  Scalpers might have to sell at lost now.. Looking at the discounts on Qoo10. Why buy from them when T&L and M2GO can give you warranty by sending unit back overseas for RMA. Got Qoo10 discount and can pay by cc. No point buying from scalpers now. QUOTE(Xirality @ Sep 22 2018, 02:02 PM) Just an S variation, I don’t mind wait awhile for MY set this time around. I have been waiting to replace my X with a bigger screen and hence I need the upgrade. No other reason to upgrade if it is not because you want a bigger screen. |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 22 2018, 03:22 PM) Haha, Ok la, initially didn't want to sell, wanted to trade with an iPhone X but an offer came and at the rate the price was dropping I thought might as well. Sold for 2900, saw new ones being listed for as low as 31xx. Anyways, with the Qoo10 discount and selling off the Gear Sport, I made no losses so it's all good What phone you using now bro? My friend working in SME asked me if I wanted a Note 9 because he could get it for me at staff price. |

QUOTE(1likegadg3t @ Sep 22 2018, 04:22 PM) Yeah very nice alittle bit improvement from previous gen but pixel 2 camera still better according to other youtube blogger Ya.. thats what the reviews say but I dont really believe it. Pixel 2 XL is last years phone coupled with last year's tech. Lets wait for DXO mark to review first. The IPhone Xs and Xs Max should be pitted against the Pixel 3 instead.

QUOTE(kkkw80 @ Sep 23 2018, 03:29 PM) Now left 2. Got the voucher but still undecided buy or wait Just do it. YOLO. QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Sep 23 2018, 03:44 PM) if buy outright will it work or not eSIM (use Maxis simcard) + physical nano sim (any telco sim) ??? Shouldn't be a problem. Im pretty sure Maxis will enable together with the launch of the phone here. For now, most probably not. |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 23 2018, 06:31 PM) Doubt they will take the chance to fix the phone by themselves. Very likely they help send back to HK to claim warranty from Apple HK. Right about that. Repair and incur costs themselves? Why not just send back to Apple.hk and get it RMAed FOC. Just need to pay some shipping charges which will be minimal as they ship phones in and out of HK almost everyday.  This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 23 2018, 06:36 PM |

QUOTE(k8zw3ll @ Sep 23 2018, 07:05 PM) But why jumping the gun so early when Maxis presently have eSIM in the network That is a good question. But whatever it is, physical sim will still be here and it will be more convenient as sim cards could be swapped easily. Even better would be dual physical sim. So yeah, HK set it is.

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 23 2018, 08:59 PM) Nice, looks like they are still available, haha. But I think it expires by tonight right? Seems like can redeem everyday and at anytime. I just clicked for one just now. Anyway, any chance the Rm 400 discount voucher might make a comeback? This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 23 2018, 09:11 PM |
