Is it worth waiting for SweeLee sale?

[ge3k]

Hi people. I'm thinking of getting some stuff from Swee Lee. But i heard tt they hold a sale in the middle of the year. is it worth waiting for the sale? Thank you in advance for your input!

 

[faizal_rocks]

I would say yes, since its almost the middle of the year. Be prepared to be queue up early before they open so that u will get what u want

 

[Rayza Aman]

Yes i strongly Agree.. I grab a Strat during the last sale.. The Price is Insane.. it's a StEal.. truly worthwhile..

 

[aminaziz]

when is the sale by the way?
thanks.

 

[faizal_rocks]

aminaziz: Heres a little hint. Do a search on the forums here for threads on the past SL sales. And from there u can roughly gauge when the sale will be If u ask me on the exact date, I have no idea. SL will normally announce their sale a week early.

Yes for me too. You have to be quick though.

a deville. you want to bring it onboard? a plane I suppose?

I don't know but my Deluxe was almost 20kg. I would think a Deville will be a lot heavier, and if you're thinking of bringing it onboard a plane... urh. no way jose!

I'm not too sure about this. But i remember a Softie who went to JB to deal, or something along that line. When he came back, he was charged tax.

So if they ask you if you just got it, say it's used and remove the box and manual. If you must keep the manual, keep it in your bag.

I asked staff at the Bras Brasah showroom about the Swee Lee sale, and that guy said that they announce on the website (we know that), and they (the higher-ups I suppose) don't tell the staff about the sale.

I'm planning to get some stuff there too, so I hope it's during June, as it's the school holidays.

 

[teokiatuan]

got an mfo membership, if anyone doesn't want to queue, can hop onboard with me for a small fee

 

[Mr. Mouse]

I'll consider!
