Have You Been Slaughtered While Computer Shopping?

authored on Friday, April 20th 2007

Have you been to a computer fair? I did. I stopped going once because I found out that the price there ain’t that much different from the everyday computer stores in Lau Yat. Yea, but this time I was very enthusiastic about going there because I was looking for a discount on a mouse I had set my eyes upon.

The Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser MouseƂ

Ahhh, my dream mouse. So while looking, I saw many stores such as SONY.

Okay, back to the topic. If there is a fair, one should see a price slash in all the products… At least that was the mentality I was brainwashed to be.

But alas, there were some products that I had got myself acquainted with and I know their prices like the the back of my hand. However these items were sold $50 above the normal price! I’m talking about an item that costs about $269, and they price it at $299, giving a it a cool ‘hot deal’ icon on their leaflet. Oh, someone save the pockets of those unsuspecting ones who will buy them.

Once again, this experience has now thought me to never buy at impluse but rather always do your research. One won’t die because one doesn’t get the latest iPod or laptop.

It has also strongly reminded me why I never go PC Fair for the past year. Until they come up with a better reason, they has very much lost a good customer.
