Hi guys, I'm looking to get a new GPU. Prices online are about 1.4k. I have a bit of time, so I thought I might jaunt to Low Yat plaza tomorrow to see if prices are good.

Is it worth doing or better just buy online? Thanks...

Depends on item, I once bought a router for RM30 less, I think the selling tag was 450 or something.

I bought my graphic card during the crypto mining frenzy, so some shops offered cheap graphics card with the condition that you have to purchase the whole rig

:sigh:

Store = safer. You can see if it work
Online=barang rosak you cry also no use.

At lowyat, only buy from those with price list. Small small store and no stock one usually are middle men who buy stock from next store. You rugi weh.

Take all price list and walk around. They will give you lowest price if they see you know the price next door.

Depends on which item also. Saw the MSI RX 580 cheaper on their Lazada page than Shopee, so I bought it on Lazada. Also Shopee full of ex miners trying to recoup investment, so happy getting scammed.....
