Swee Lee Oneday 50% Sales -This Saturday 30th June 2007 Only

I am going to pay my Deposit Balance money for my Pearl-Stool this Saturday - and at the same time - Grap some good Pearl HardWare eg Cymbals Stands..actually I might but a Timbale also....

See you guys there but I have to work so have to go there after 1.00pm..

It's really a good buy there as always...
 
I probably reach there at app 1.45pm. Pay them the balance payment at 5% GST (instead of 7%) as 1st week July my Pearl Stool will arrived at Swee Lee. Then I need 2 more Pearl Cymbal Stands for my another 2 Paiste New Sig Cymbals Sig(that's all) for the MLX...

I saw the Tama-Timbale (small one in set of 2) for DrumKit..Chrome in colour very cute haha small small one (nice sounding also)...I am still thinking if I should get it - cause my kit is Pearl mah not Tama...or maybe I should buy a Pearl Reference 13" snare instead..I dunno lah...go there see and decide.

Cymbal all less 50% there for sure....If you like Sabian, older Paiste Dimension, Innovation Cymbals - better go grap..for Rockers one lah.

Pearl RT bery cheap - I think S$450 can get.
 
MP. SAMA BEB!!!

It's been discussed in the forums.. MOST of the items are marked up to retail price and than 50% discount.. others are MARKED UP to retail price and have a nett discount of 30 or 40%...

so for most stuff, u get 50% off RETAIL PRICE.. REMEMBER THAT HA.. Unless marked nett or 40%...

sabians, pearl, tama, LP, drumsets all goin for 50% of retail price.. so it's a really good bargain but see what's in store first...

most to most i just get a stick.. 8 bucks per stick only... but still not a hot item.:D
 
Good luck on getting your elims smildrumez! You've been GASing for it for a long time :lol:

RD bro, I end work at 2pm also leh. I think we go in the afternoon, the store botak already lah. Maybe just pop by to see what's left to pick up.
 
Most prob will be going around 9 plus in the morning, cos I be working afternoon shift on that day. Hoping to get a hi-hat stand and cymbal mutes. Maybe I'll might change my whole cymbal set... :D
 
killerbee i feel for u ah... actually this would be second sale this yr already man.

like just 3 months after the previous one only.

this is wierd.
 
I notice the last few 50% Sales - I just walk in only like not many people go liao (not as over-crowded as before).

I believe - maybe Swee Lee has Quota to meet for the individual Brands of Instruments (as any Distributor) and they are indeed a large distributor here within Asia,,so they come up with Sales 50% - meet quota set by Distributor (this is my guesswork here).....not just meeting sales & profitabilty but....core objective - is Meeting Quantity Quota of these Distributor - then they can get better Trade discount pricing also.

Now as regarding to Sales Less 50% - There is definetely nothing wrong with that - People have a misconception that - They will mark-up higher during this period to less the 50% (NOT TRUE)...I went there and buy many gears during normal period and I really pay List less 20% (with GST 5% not included here)...sometimes I buy a lot they give me less 25% (with GST not included)...because I buy my gears alot during 50% Discount and sometimes - I don't - eg like Cymbal Stands for instance.

My purchase (as an example here) for my Reference Snare 14" at Swee Lee was not during sales period - I got a 30% but add GST 5% - and that's alot more than less 50% (without 5%) during Sales Period like now.....and I know the prices - they did not change at the stickers ther - cause I saw the same 13" Reference snare at S$1000 over dollars which was at S$530 during the 50% previous sales brothers.

One can really get saving alot if you buy quite a sum...it's true..

Like the Eliminator hi-hat stands - I cannot remember how much I paid liao during sales but it was truly a great saving.

I order my Pearl seat - after less 30% still have to pay S$400.00 and must add additional 5% GST here on top os the 400 (not sales period with back rest hor - it will be here on 1st week July. The one without Backrest (the only difference during sales was only S$180 I think (I cannot remember exactly now)..how can the backrest be S$220 difference - such is the saving.

Someomore after Saturday - GST 7% liao...brother - it's good to buy what we need during this period...correct...

PS: - Marc - all the while - Swee Lee quoted List Less certain discount - there is no change here and it's not a Gimmick at all....you go call up today ask salespeople there how much is this (they probably quote you a price but it's based on a List-Less-Basis usually 20%)...go there this Saturday - check the price and tell me "How Much Your Saving is" but ...be honest here lah ok.

mel80: 2pm ok - - no queqe for sure...just that of course many good stuffs gone liao...Eliminator Pedal very hot selling one....even if the dont have the complete set - I know 2pm - you still can get the (you know they sell seperately one that type - it's on sales)...last time there were 5 sets there during 50% and I went late.
 
garh i need a snare stand and since it's the sale i should buy cymbal stands too, but got plans for the whole day already. grr.
 
Hi RD. you ordered the D-2000BR eh? comfy stuff. was considering it but decided on the tama first chair. cheaper alternative. but my stuff will only come late august with kit. and by then must factor in 7%gst..... am gonna get the vicfirth pvc stickbags, heads and a mackie to play around with. must stock up stick and mallet inventory as well.
 
RD bro. I think Bras Basah sale will be the xiong one. Sims Drive usually a bit more relak ah lol. I'm not the one who is aiming for the Elims though. Remember I brought them for the 2nd gathering? smiledrumz has been aiming the Elims since then. The evils of GAS!

Hmm think I'll just pop by to stock up on sticks and see what good buys I can pick up.
 
err.. no i am being truthfully honest bout how swee lee price their items during sale....

normal days u get 20% off retail price.

sale days u get 50% off retail price.

So if u do the math, u get 30 % more discount off retail price.. so this is a gd time to buy gears and sabians. Esp when gst is absorbed... so u get full 50% off retail prices...

the sale last year didn't have the absorbed gst so u have to pay that extra 5% gst meaning ur paying 65% of retail price...

and normal days, they give u 20% minus 5% gst which in reality u are paying for 85% from retail price...

for instance my Iron Cobra...

Initial cost is SGD$600 + 5% Gst = $630(retail price before discount)

so on the sales day at 50% off, i paid = $630 x 50% = $315SGD (with gst)

so this saturday's sale is 50% with absorbed gst,

u pay Iron cobra = $600 x 50% = $300 :D



Hope this clears the confusion.
