So my prime suspect is they pull stocks from other stores.

Yes, double confirm that sometimes they get their stocks from other stores.
Like for my Asus Maximus Formula motherboard, they said they have stock when I asked. But after I paid them, I had to wait more than 30 min for the motherboard.

The guy said he had to go to their storeroom to get it, but I saw the boss hand him cash before he left. And when he came back, the M/B had a Video-Pro price tag still on it.

I ge-siao asked him where he got it and he said storeroom.

TP ah TP..

for first timers:
be very very careful and always CHECK CHECK CHECK for every single item before handing them cash. do not be afraid to sound out and clarify every little detail when in doubt. do not let their numbers and indian techno distract or intimidate u.

on a side note: has anyone gotten their leadtek gtx650 ti boost 2gb at $201 as advertised?

If I were you I will ditch the idea for gtx650ti boost.

I will go for 7850 or 7870. The 7870 $241 is a good buy.

Go look around. Try bizgram. Cause ive seen tp trying to undercut them. Some they can undercut bizgram. Some they cant.

It is up to you to bargain. One flip at mynextcom webpage they can give you price match for that.

And yes you buy a full rigs is cheaper. Like $440 I got for one of our fellow member here.

Same goes to an asus r9 290 at $600 flat.

If you are buying a single item. Best is do your homework first in terms of pricing from other stores first. This will know where the pricing can stand. And fyi r9 280x they have stocks and selling you at $479 also because they pull stocks from pc themes. Whatever the cost is they will charge customer. Cause I myself personally went down ytd night before closing time they do not have stocks for the r9 280x. So my prime suspect is they pull stocks from other stores.

Yesterday I bought my Asus GTX780 for my other rig at $735. Shan asked how much I want so I quoted the price you mentioned. Raman looked at me and said "ok boss" lol......Other places either no stock or quoted me $789.

Got my rig last friday. Initially he quoted me including the asus 780ti then afterwards they somehow found out that they have no stock and they went to find from either store or other shops but after an hour plus still nothing so they say they will call when have stock from supplier. Till now still nothing. Is there stock at other shops or all of them really OOS?

Having bad experience with tradepac, keep me standing there for 20 minutes waiting for them looking for the RAM that i want and in the end the staff that serving me just leaving me there and talking with another customer. Damn piss off and i just walk out from the shop.I Will never go back to tradepac anymore even their price just few dollar cheaper compare to others.

Hi all,

So from what I read, I can't get a discount if I pay using cc? Payment must be made by cash?

Just take everything that is listed on their price list as cash prices only.

The entire notion of "no extra charge for visa/mastercard" is a lie.

Imagine paying 3% of your revenue to VISA/Mastercard. :s12::s12::s12::s12:
