When you contact me:
1. State the brand and model clearly, don't say vague things like "interested in your guitar" or "your yamaha guitar" or "your acoustic guitar" because I won't know which guitar you are referring to.

Everything is cheaper in Malaysia, due to the falling Ringgit, so what's your point?

Please go and buy from Malaysia instead of trolling and lowballing here. While you are at it, go and earn Ringgit from Malaysia to learn the difference between apples and oranges.

Oh look, even in Singapore, it's below sgd 200 for a new strat. SGD 195 for a new unit too.

No wonder you have to put that rude disclaimer in your sig. Many members must've spotted and called you out for your crap prices. You prey on the ignorance of new buyers.

http://tymusiccenter.com/products/electric-guitars/stagg-ses50m-strat.html

Accusing me of trolling eh? I've provided more than enough links to show your prices are outright dishonest and you're a lying seller.

"All for this low price, what are you waiting for?" Definitely not a low price, not in Malaysia, or Singapore.

Wow, now you are saying a local shop is selling higher price than Malaysia. Nobody is interested in hearing about how everything is cheaper in Malaysia than Singapore alright. If you are not happy with prices here, like to compare so much, then jolly well go spend your Ringgit elsewhere.

Looking at your join date and post history trolling other sellers, tsk tsk tsk.

There is nothing dishonest or lying about selling at a price I'm comfortable with. The problem is you, because you found a low measly price of $250 SGD to be a high price. Going around to people's threads posting antagonistic obnoxious remarks to lowball isn't going to work.

If you want to be penny wise pound foolish pay transport money, spend time travel to Malaysia to save a few bucks, just goes to show your time isn't worth much money and your penny pinching isn't effective.

Whatever price shops sell for, no comment, I cannot and don't wish to control, this is a free market everybody is free to set their prices, only small people will be so free to comment about other people's prices and feel upset that prices are different at different places. If you don't like the free market maybe you'll feel better in North Korea. I do welcome any serious buyer to view and try my piece, then view any try any other piece from elsewhere, then decide for themselves which is the better constructed piece and worth a few bucks more.

A quick check on the same source you provided, ebay, showed that the price for this model in the UK is SGD $426.16 inclusive of shipping but before the 7% GST (after GST will be SGD $455.99): http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Stagg-SES50M-FRD-S-Series-Vintage-Electric-Guitar-Red-/351432229885 goes to show your comparison is 1 sided, biased, and meaningless, no reasonable person is going to tell the UK seller off because his price isn't the cheapest.

 

[jcvw75]

You are a conman who is a gear trader who buys low priced used gear then jack them up way more than they're worth. People like you don't play music/guitar. You take advantage of those who love gears. If a retail shop with rent to pay like tymusic can sell the stagg for under sgd 200, then a soft.com.sg freeloading gear seller like you who don't pay rent surely have no reason to sell the stagg for above retail prices of what they sell for in Singapore retail. Stop trying to defend and justify your lame prices with snobbery of who can/cannot afford your conman priced gears.

 

[Singlecut]

I looked at your original post with link to the ebay malaysia item again, and realised something glaring: the item was priced without including any shipping cost to Singapore yet.

Shipping is not free, and international shipping for bulky items is expensive. So what is cheap in Malaysia, will not be as cheap when shipped overseas. In other words, that guitar you posted may appear cheap, but will likely end up more expensive than mine after taking into account the shipping cost or even travelling + time costs to Malaysia to buy.

If someone earns in Ringgit Malaysia, RM 468 is a high price. If someone earns SGD, SGD 250 is a low price and RM 468 will appear cheaper, but there is always an additional cost to get to that RM 468 item, which you conveniently left out to disparage and troll my advert. You compare SGD with RM, ignoring shipping, travelling, time etc costs. If you like Ringgit Malaysia so much, please go to Malaysia. If you don't understand or respect a free market, go to North Korea, simple. Don't come here to cry father cry mother. Over here, we price things in SGD, not RM.

If you want to make comparisons, show the full spectrum of comparisons to be fair, instead of showing just the cheapest then complain why others sell more expensive.

You remind me of people who complain about drinks being more expensive in the coffeeshop ($1.20) than supermarkets ($0.60), a 100% difference. And people who complain that the cost of manufacturing an iPhone is lower than the retail price. Take note that coffeeshops ban outside food and drinks, while I openly welcome serious buyers to test, view and compare my gear with others they may find elsewhere and let them decide which is more worth it in terms of price to quality, because every piece is different even if they are the same model.

And likewise, you should be banned from this space. Like to complain so much, just go to Malaysia with your favourite Ringgit Malaysia, or North Korea where there's no free market. Don't be a frog in the well.

 

[jcvw75]

Dear all, this person Singlecut is trying to avoid the topic about the price in Tymusic which is under sgd 200 and focusing on the Malaysian price instead.

Please be aware that he is selling the alder strat priced much higher than the retail price of tymusic (before discount even!) and he is focusing just on the Malaysian ringgit argument, which is irrelevant by now because you can get the same strat for under sgd 200 (before discount) in retail.

http://tymusiccenter.com/products/electric-guitars/stagg-ses50m-strat.html

I am not interested in buying from this dishonest guy nor interested in what he has. I am just putting things into perspective, and you all can visit the links I posted and decide/judge for yourself.

Just look at singlecut's disclaimer and arrogant/pompous siggy/warning to potential buyers. You'll know he has some major attitude problem.

 

[Singlecut]

I did not avoid the topic, I have already stated clearly twice that I cannot and have no wish to control shops' prices, and serious buyers are welcome/free/invited to test, view and compare my gear with others they may find elsewhere and let them decide which is more worth it in terms of price to quality, because every piece is different even if they are the same model.

For your info, another guy pointed the price difference to me politely in PM, and I extended the same invitation to him. He did it politely and I responded in kind. You on the other hand are blatantly antagonistic, not just to me but also to others.

The buyer etiquette section was put up exactly for people like you, who like to go to sellers' adverts to post rude, antagonistic and obnoxious remarks. You joined in June 2015, and have already made quite a few troll attempts at various sellers' advertisements.

The Malaysian Ringgit argument isn't irrelevant, because you brought it up first.

It really doesn't matter if people buy or not, I would rather give away the guitar to a kid, than succumb to lowball attempts from lowlifes.

PS: I have given away free gear to softies before. So shut your trap about conman, dishonest, liar etc, you are just butthurt.

 

[jcvw75]

You have a pompous signature that invites such replies and I have no regrets and no pity when replying to sellers like you. You're not just arrogant, but try to shut me up by requesting admin to ban me for pointing out what a joke of a seller you are, which you indeed are. You're the only seller in this forum with those pompous signature, and I assure you, there'll be more to come in future from others to criticize you without holding back. I usually don't pick on people openly but your siggy invites them. If you want to be such a hotshot seller with an attitude you better be ready to back up your justification for those prices.

As for the others, it's simple, one fella trying to sell a few years old strat, identical to the ones sold in Swee Lee, for the same NEW price at the swee lee link he provided himself. There's nothing wrong in pointing that out.

The "buyer etiquette" section was put up to save everybody's time.

It doesn't matter if I price this at $250 or $25, even if I put $25 people will lowball to $20. So I had to filter these people out. The reason why soft is so inactive nowadays is due to the influx of timewasters, lowballers and trolls, which alot of other sellers here also lament and disallow in their adverts.

The only people who will feel butthurt about the "buyer etiquette" section are the people described therein. Enough said.

 

[jcvw75]

And your seller etiquette seems to be, " If you don't agree with my prices, you're a poor bastard who cannot afford my gear". That seems to be your modus operandi, to insult those who question your prices, even if they can afford but no intention to buy, as people who are poor. Goes to confirm what a prick you are.

It's actually "want to buy, welcome to buy. not serious to buy, want to lowball, troll etc, get lost".

You have comprehension problems, I cannot help you with that.

People who like to compare everything in life tend to be unhappy. Eg those who bought condos in Iskandar when exchange rate was 1 to 2.5, they said it's very cheap. then now exchange rates are 1 to 2.8, some of them regretted and found what they paid to be expensive. But if it went the other way and exchange rates became 1 to 2.3, they won't complain.

Why not? He's trying to sell it at a NEW price one can get, for an old guitar with dings. It's not deriding, it's pointing out facts.

You butthurt for what? (in your own language)

Why should the forum not allow replies that question the seller reasonably, which I did ?

Why would you want to sell the same strat you have, that is years old with dings, for price of a new one ? Why would I want to buy your old one when I can get the new one for the price you're asking? Is that not a valid question?

If you dislike the free market so much, why not move to North Korea?

 

[jcvw75]

Maybe you should move to north korea since you dislike free speech so much.

Typical seller who cannot handle questions and prefer customers who don't ask questions.

Free market does not equate to letting sellers like you have a free hand in everything. Free market means a buyer is free to question whether or not to buy something.

Your example of North korea pertains more to free speech, because you dislike it when someone points out the truth, obvious about the illogical way some sellers price their products.

I am pretty sure many are having fun reading this thread.

On the contrary, I have debunked your nonsensical ramblings on my thread, in the name of free speech.

Your "truth" is nothing more than half truth when you conveniently left out the additional costs involved in getting to a RM 468 item. You are nothing more than an antagonistic loudmouth, the likes of which have caused some softies to abandon soft and make it so inactive now.

 

[jcvw75]

The shipping for that item in Malaysia is free. But even if one needs to ship to Singapore, I do not believe it will exceed sgd 200. That item as is about sgd 167. Add shipping and I hardly think it would be up to sgd 250. Malaysian courier fees are not that expensive when shipping to Singapore.

But point is moot since they may or may not ship to Singapore.

But the crux of the matter is simply, that Stagg guitar can be had for below sgd 200 in SINGAPORE retail itself (before discount).

You didn't debunk anything. You thought you did, and you're trying to divert attention away from that fact, that one can indeed get a stagg model you listed, for below sgd 200 before discount at RETAIL.

Then you went on rambling about my post on other threads and insulting me for being poor and cannot afford the gear, throwing the topic out of discussion, when it's not about whether I can afford or not.

I'll let soft.com.sg readers judge for themselves.
