[echoist]

im guessing its their "we have reduced our ridiculous markups" sale.

 

[Morlock]

CASH only? no nets? no credit card?

 

[JOSH83]

Yea, Seriously i'm not really keen in their sale anymore cos normally they'll mark their prices up and then have a higher discounts. I personally feel its like deceiving their custs. Cos if u work out ur maths, in the end it'll only be a few dollars off the original b4 sale price.

ONly sometimes, they will have some stuffs which are quite a deal. I just have to say Sweelee is really gd at doing business. But overtime they'll lose their cust cos more music shops now carry more products at competitive prices.

They do accept cash and nets. Not too sure bout credit cards though

Cheers! Peace

Wonder when they will have a sale on those view only guitars. Some of them have been there for a decade

maybe they collecting them so the glass room is just to show off what they have collected over the years

 

[sharker_93]

hmm...interesting. so does anybody know whether or not the 20 bucks entrance fee thingy applied here? hmm...if not then i might consider paying a visit. yep, a visit. heh.

 

[lordie]

any sales on the warwicks?

 

[theliverevolution]

Up to forty percent, but on what price? Their normal price that they sell to you on a normal day, or the jacked-up price which they claim is the normal price?

I think Mid-year sale is a lot more worth it, IMO. Provided that they do have one

Lol. im collecting $$$ now for the end of year sale. haha. that one more worth it.

 

[JOSH83]

i went for the end of yr sale last yr, bought a few stuff. And the gd stuff that's on sale, they have very little stock though. So gotta be quick.

But the $20 entrance fee is really not justifiable. Jack up the price then tell us 40% discount then give us some cheapo strap or cloth. !@#$ But well, then again, only some stuff they carry, so suck thumb, gotta go there.

So unless u really got a few stuff to buy, then go ba, else no pt paying the entrance to go in.

 

[redname]

wow, perfect timing. looking to get a bass this week

 

[5stringwonder]

Anyone gone down yet? Any good buys?

 

[shinobi]

the entrance fee is just to prevent deadbeats from crowding the store. the last time i went to a swee lee sale i brought my own trolley.

and its still rational to go down whether or not its '40%' or just 1%. they know that as long as its below MSRP or cheaper than the next alternative, people will still buy. but of course if you are going to get a bloody 20cents off on a stupid piece of polishing cloth then u are just wasting time lah.

 

[Jumpin'Jellybean]

Do they even give discounts on picks? Maybe go there stock up...
I think it's justifiable if your savings are more than the 20 dollars entrance fee.
Oh yeah. Everything there is retardedly expensive. Anyone care to share how is/was it like there?

 

[1mband]

Seriously, nothing much. Discount is "up to 40%". You guys didn't miss anything great. Nevertheless, service is improving, that, i must admit. Especially the service from the TS.

 

[Jumpin'Jellybean]

Bro 1mband, did you purchase anything? Hahah, any hidden deals? I'm waiting for the june sales, hopefully there's no entrance fee. Or a poor student like me can't afford to pay. Sell gears for entrance fee.

 

[1mband]

Nope, i bought nothing. Tried some Ibanez bass, but somehow didn't like the feel. I guess the 50% sale is more worth the wait.

 

[Schtauffen]

There was a sales today? Explains the crowd at the cashier when I was there.

I just went there to try out the Tama Rhythm Watch metronome today. Didn't get anything.
