MaCe 3 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 MaCe...where to buy cheap and nice?sungei road ( contractors' haven )was VERY surprised that those electrical/lights shops there sells middle-end stuffs too but at low-end price.for good stuffs you need to ask the shop owners, just cant understand why they likes to display the old old ugly lamps and keep all the nice stuffs in boxes...maybe bcos it's contractors that are their main customers.

FSP 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Knda agree with c_stradale, if wanna buy electrical appliances, better go to those big names electrical shops like Best Denki or Courts etc... Go there not to buy but go look c loo c. When u finally found the model u want, write down the model number & then go to those neighbourhood electrical store & ask for pricing. U'll be surprise the price difference man & moreover, watever promotion those big name shops have, they oso have. For example i recently got a Mistral fan. Forgot the model but it's the model where it can sweep not only left & right, but can oso sweep up & down. Go to Best, selling at $128,. Called my electrical shop, selling only $90. Quick savings of $38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
