HUH no sale aft this?!

 

[jskadiang]

^ Seriously, why would there be? It's an end of year sale.

 

[subversion]

there is a need for more amps for our considerations, i speak for those of us who are not getting a guitar/bass on sale day- may be an amp...

 

[retardedrummer]

Primary school ah? No la graduating tfrom secondary la . Haha. There are 3 tanjong kayong schools. LOL u got one wrong left two which are neighbours it's a end of year sale. Next year should be still have. After this Sale they still should have their normal 20% off what no?

 

[bf0502tr]

ya but only after the 20% off then it becomes street price.

 

[Ardentash]

oh,so after the discount than is the usual price u find outside?lol

 

[bf0502tr]

something like that. they will put the rrp as selling price then u go outside u find that its actually way higher than what other shops are selling. but then again, being official distributors of the stuff they have there, i think they have to put the rrp. so when they say discount, dont get too happy unless its a really crazy percentage haha

 

[KeDraiv]

wah, it's allowed in singapore ah?

 

[bf0502tr]

what is allowed?

 

[KeDraiv]

the somewad jacking up of prices

 

[Reubenfjk]

Hahah any of you guys know the rationale behind having these crazy sales as opposed to cutting lets say 30% off all products all year round. with these annual 50% off clearance sales they'll end up having to incur more costs (advertising the sale etc.), recalculate the different prices of all the products etc. By setting their prices competitively all year round, the revenue they're gonna bring in will just about be the same as the revenue brought in from the annual sale. Just a thought.

I'm doing a research on guitar shops around bras basah and peninsula area, hahah maybe ill just start a new thread to gather opinions soon

I've not been down to Katong Branch but are there cymbals there? The $10 cover charge is to make sure people go there and buy stuff cuz past years people just go there to browse and go home. But i think they should rebate the $10 off our receipts when we buy stuff instead of keeping the $10, which we can use to take a cab home.

Those 10 bucks are a major turn off. I'm not going. Those DJs probably aren't worth the 10 bucks.

Well, too bad for SL. I'm quite an impulse buyer. No entry no impulse, no impulse no purchase, no purchase less revenue.

And trust me, when there're sales, lotsa people act on impulse.

 

[van_halen]

the entrance fee reminds me of ERP...

 

[evident]

the $10 bucks is to control the traffic. this would deter the people who would just go there and take up space while genuine buyers have to squeeze.

so does anyone know whether there are cymbals there or is it only guitar stuff?

 

[KeDraiv]

i agree the $10 is really a major turn off
i mean, ok,

1st case, i want to see the DJ, i pay 10 bucks go in,
BUT! to go in, i must queue up, AND you know the queue is going to be a long one since only like 20 people are allowed to go in at 1 time?
so I may NOT even catch the act I'm admitted.

Alsowhen i go in,there will be people queuing up to buy stuff, making the warehouse squeezy and overcrowded,
and as many inquires will be made, people moving around to see the equipments, there will be quite a lot of movement,
with so much distraction, is my 10bucks paid worth it?

2nd case, i want to go in buy stuff,
after queuing up for dunno how long, i pay 10 bucks go in,
when i enter, i see people ( who are supporting the DJs) taking up spaces and crowding up the warehouse, making it even more crowded and hard to move around, i'll be faced with a lot of difficulty in getting to the location i want to go.

also, since it's a DJ event, there's bound to be movement in the audience ( like shuffling?)
will i feel safe to hold the instrument i have yet to purchase when they're such people around?

that's what i personally feel about the incorporation of the 2 events lah,
why not hold them seperately such that each group of people can enjoy what they want to the maximum?

yupp
according to wad they say "DRUMMERS!! We have the BIGGEST list of Drum Sets on Slashed Prices and FREE Delivery is Provided!!! (Terms & Conditions Applys)

* SABIAN CYMBALS sets at your DREAM PRICES only for this EVENT!"

so yea, there should be cymbals there
haha

the $10 charge would include a consolation item, as i have enquired...
