I'll be heading to Taichung and Taipei in a couple of weeks time. Are there any recommended places to buy electronics, and is it cheaper than SG? These are the things I'm looking for:
- Fuji lenses
Places:No idea
is the discount so nice that you can forgo the lens warranty?
- Western Digital My Passport Wireless Pro (SSD)
Places:can try guanghua and syntrend三創
guang hua plaza price not much different from SLS
prepare some pricelist from pcthemes/cybermind/videopro for comparison
- Nintendo Switch games and accessories
Place:taipei underground mall and Jin Wan Nian building
price not much different from sg price,manage to find the Zelda gamecube styled switch controller cheaper than sg(SG $57 TW$38)
bought my controller from this place @ FJNM
