[Capitalist]

why fret over the unknown and/or inevitable?

just enjoy the pricing & free shopping while we can.

 

[ckt1978]

just ride e wave lo.
wait for next 1 if too ex.

 

[CI]

Its bcos lazada failed to gain a majority share of the local mkt, so they LLST

THEY cannot monopolize

So easy to monopolize? They can tahan until wipe out all online competition? The moment they up prices, other competitors will come in. Sinkies are fickle. Where gives best deal go there.

 

[Atilas]

They can dump all they want. Wouldn't affect us as we don't manufacture those items locally.

 

[CI]

Then hop over to peace center for some rubba rubba with atas club atb

Alamak... Peace Centre already demolished for at least 2 years liao...

 

[Visor9999]

Doesn’t matter, buy more now then resell on other platforms for a good profit

 

[icebleue]

let our retail shops close and let rental drop for once..
the landlords need to get burnt once....

 

[mooseolly]

Good mah, make all the retails toh then enbloc and build more BTOs. Next time everyone just order online no need come out.

 

[testing_testing]

Don't bull lah.

Why would anyone want to go against his own wallet?

good for sinkies consumers to enjoy cheap prices, even better if it leads to deflation. Pdd should also open petrol kiosk in sg

 

[Stormthundarr]

TS, will you keep using pdd even after they up prices?

 

[matrix05]

PDD demonstrate that you don need seekar for CN to invest in SG. No need reserve 88 professions. Say no to 不平等条约 。

 

[boredom2012]

Do you know what ah tiong say about pdd? They say pdd deal is rubbish. They will just scam you. Their coupon you will never redeem one

 

[mooseolly]

Tomorrow pdd will release their earnings. Their revenue will explode at the expense of baba. As for margins we will see.

 

[Capitalist]

Then hop over to peace center for some rubba rubba with atas club atb

Mai noob lah.

Tuberose ah? That building bye-bye-ed for quite some time liaoz.

What’s next? Ridley’s? Pleasuredome? Mdm Wong’s? Chaplin’s?

 

[testerjp]

Not totally true.

They subsidize now but they are setting up the infrastructure.

Eventually they will have the economies of scale so they will still retain certain pricing power and negotiation power with collaborators.

They earn from sellers or other collaborators behind the scene to fund the ops. They can stay afloat from fees, charges and others.

It's not a simple buy sell business. Technically this is reducing one more layer, it's China to Singapore direct. So pdd and taobao will each have a clear advantage.

 

[XiaoChilli]

Its ok I already stock up 1 decade worth of pdd goods. They can start increasing price and shipping soon.

 

[acidcrash]

custom sensitive items, don't buy so many in 1 consolidation.
2-3 items + 1 other safe category; like panties or plastic container etc.

Does it work?

 

[Skoda29]

They can dump all they want. Wouldn't affect us as we don't manufacture those items locally.

Only the local Sg seller buy in bulk from china feel the pinch when Chinese sellers are selling cheaper.
