Yea.. don't know why they insist to open.
Once I went to Xiaomi shop in Seremban. They display only Xiaomi phones. I just want to test Poco X4 GT.
Then I asked for Poco, they said don't have display. Then the sales lady went inside and brought the box and I said no need to unseal, I'm not sure buying yet.. but she insisted saying it's ok. Then I test the phone, returned it back to her. Didn't buy at all. So I was wondering the same too, what will they do with that set?
I just bersangka baik.. maybe they'll put it for display.
Not sure how powerbank will be handled.
Yeah exactly. I also told the salesperson that I just wanted to see the box. No need to open but he insisted.
I highly doubt that they will resell it as display or second hand even though they have opened it.
Likely that they have their ways to seal back the item to sell as brand new. I dun think any shop will be so ‘kind’ to to sell as display set. If it is labelled as display set, it means the shop must sell it at much cheaper price so to make ppl buying it rite? I doubt any shop will just do like that. every single customer they met they just open it to show him/her and they lost profit immediately? I highly doubt this.
I recently went to a home fair. I saw an older model of Sony tv was selling at much cheaper price and the salesperson told me that it is brand new which I had double confirmed with him that. However, when I probe further about the box condition etc. He told me that the item will be shipped from their branch in KL. Before they do so, they need to ensure that the item is good before shipping so they will open the box to check? How could it be? Why would a shop open a brand new item in box just to do the ‘checking’ before shipping. Then I checked back Lowyat forum here only noticed that there are shops selling demo set item as brand new either online or via platform like Shopee. Then Sony tv has the feature to check the actual running time of the tv, then the buyer noticed that it is actually not brand new. So I also learnt that if u are buying a old model of tv, likely that it is not brand new especially if u are buying from the authorised dealers which many of them are not honest at all. Unless u are really buying a current model which the chance of getting a brand new will then only be higher.
