RM340 , RM360

SG is SGD110 each

I have my friend buy it in SG and ship to me. Saved me about couple of hundred RM for my 59s and Seths.

A couple of hundred? Maybe RM100 but not a couple of hundred I suppose?

About RM50 on each pickup, so 4 pups would be at least RM200.

At that time Bentley did not have the '59 set, but they were selling it separately at RM380 each. I got mine at Davis for SGD 165 (for 2 '59s). One '59 cost SGD 99 there, btw. I'm not sure if Bentley have the '59 set now though. If they were selling at around RM500 it would be cheaper than going down south (plus expenses) I guess.

Cheers!

ehh before there was someone selling pickups bought from SG for RM290 or so each.
but destroy whole market?
ppl selling used gear at cheap prices have already destroyed the market

I think destroying market is a bit too harsh. After all, in a free market system, each has every right to offer the lowest price (without compromising on quality), and consumers have every right to own high quality stuff at the lowest price the market can offer. Just my 2 cents.

lol...was it me ah ? i know there was one period i was selling a wide range of dimarzios brand new at RM290..

guess what ...people still come n fvckin nego with me , complain this , complain that..my profit per pickup was like RM20 ..

thats why i stopped..abit frustrating lor..





yea . that is true . but try to put yourself in a seller's shoe ... a seller need to makan , pay rent also ...

go visit lelong 's forum ..there is a section for "sellers only" you can see all the horror stories where consumer crossed the line..

nothing to do with pickups la...just gear in general.

everyone has heard of a similar story of someone buying for example say a gibby LP for rm2k...then when some poor dude later on tries to sell his for rm5k...
everyone will say..."oh someone sold one for rm2k before...you should drop price..."
or like a MIA strat for rm1.5k etc etc...

heck, used gears in malaysia is actually pretty cheap also...even compared to US...how much cheaper can stuff get

Yeah, that's why consumers need to be educated about different prices of gear around the world, so they can understand the sellers' situation. Of course, they should allow the seller a decent profit as well.

But the Malaysian government should abolish all taxes on musical instruments (including sales tax) as we are a mature(ing) country. In this way, the major players will profit and keep prices within a reasonable level as well.

p/s Hey gapnap, you have any used A2Pros or Seths? I have a little project going on...

malaysian govt abolish? 10% is pretty decent, compared to what ppl in the UK get charged.
so lets see what you get charged in UK...
VAT 17.5% + UK Customs fee 4.6% + some mysterious money ripping off charge of extra 4-5%...
thats easily 26% extra...not including shipping...

also if not mistaken, singapore gets charged 7% GST...
BUT they are able to offer a much greater discount...cos the shops here sux

careful, don't want to piss off anyone do you?

seriously, if Malaysian shops can compete with SG prices (and variability), I'll go with them all the way. Who won't?

im sure the malaysian shops here can, and some do.
now if they would reduce costs by not hiring dumbass sales persons or making huge ass 5 storey buildings, they definitely will be able to match better.

That's about right, I was thinking just about 2 pickups. You're right, ordering from Singapore can still be cheaper than buying in Malaysia. I wonder if that is true also for effect pedals.
