they are trying to rob you...
I went to one shop in MINES.. he is selling it at RM2899 when it launch like 2 days later...
I ask y so ex as i tot it was RM2480.. he got the cheek to tell me where i saw and why i didnt go and buy.. helo... he just dun understand what when i mentioned retail price is RM2480.... which means is an information site and not site for selling... and he just continue why i dun go buy from ther... idiot..
that shop have con a few ppl in getting the phone at his jacked up price... sorry for those poor ppl who got coned....
I dont think we can blame the shop. This is not conning. Conning is like selling a china iphone at an original iphone price. Afterall, goods are everywhere and it's up to the seller to decide how much they want their goods to be sold for. Can you say people are con men if they sell concert tickets at a much higher price ? It's really up to the buyers which is why we should all be wise consumers. With the technology nowadays researches can easily be done so there is really no excuse for someone to be cheated at buying stuff already.
The shop selling the phone at a much higher price is understandable because afaik the margin for this phone is really low. I believe it's somewhere in between RM 2100 - RM 2200. Unlike the past when people could sell n95 and etc at 3k ++ while their cost was 2.6k.
Regarding the broken camera, if I were the owner I would surely go back to the shop and complain because thats customer rights. Even though it was your fault at the first place that you didn't check properly but if you are so sure that the camera was already broken when you bought it then you should go ahead a claim your rights. It's people like that who increase the cheating rates in the market because a lot of people in malaysia aren't aware of customer rights. You buy a thing from a shop, it's defective, you go back and get the stuff back no matter what because YOU TRULY DESERVE IT. You paid for it with your hard earned money. If they refuse to replace a new one for you then keep complaining. I'd never let it go even if it's gonna take a lot of time because it's RM 2500 we're talking about.
Remember this,
if we've paid for something then we deserve to get what we've paid for. Nothing more, nothing less.
