1. My nextcomp operated out of Sim lim previously, probably due to rental pressures & stuffs & got priced out ... that make any difference for you in your purchase?
2. The way I see it, Sim Lim does offer what you want, just not at a price point you would like to see. Doing all kinds of tricks on the price list to entice people to buy and tell them later the price is higher is certainly not nice. I hate them too. But if you want survivor, and do tricks to get businesses... what can I say. I think we can only blame this economy is heading for a self-destruction with high rental driving the last spike to a dying industry... and forcing people to buy it online.
And after the death of Sim Lim square & one finds that he cannot get cheaper price from online stalls for a cpu + motherboard combo than the previous Sim Lim square offered? Who do we blame next?
TS is certainly not the first & won't be last to encounter such situation. Nothing much anyone can do... just wait for the process to complete it's course and the new norm emerges...
