Tradepac any good?

[bwaysaihump]

Then shop how to earn? All already break-neck margins trying to compete with Tradepac. Even Bizgram might be up to similar business practice, look at their pricing lately...rental low but if no volume in sales also die liao


if you really know your stuff, Tradepac isn't the best shop in SLS in terms of pricing

i dun mind paying a little more. in fact i have frequently patronized shops other than tradepac. but finding out the difference is rather disheartening.

30% more leh.

i dunno abt pricing, but i got lucky at tradepac. they give me a 3570k that does 5ghz@1.3v prime stable on air cooling. this one really cannot complain!
some ppl spend money on watercooling also stuck under 4.5

 

[LesterQ]

Yea, thats why i only hoot from amazon black fri.... Only brought ssd. I take a gamble that price of ssd locally not gonna drop to the price i get from amazon BF ba

Not a gamble. Is a definite... Will not drop below BF price one...


The superflower PSU actually was very popular then they went MIA awhile... Now back again haha

actually i got my stuff from TP recently and I would say my experience with them was fairly interesting.

I used royfrosty's guide for prices for all the components I needed and it came to about $1.5k.

When I check the prices with them they anyhow quote higher price for some items (for eg. gskill RJ ram 2x4gb 1600 MHZ for $120 instead of $110 quoted by royfrosty).

In the end the guy quote me "special" bundle price of $145x for all the items. I said ok and thought i'd go walk around first. as soon as i left he ask me come back and quote me $138x.

I agreed to that and didnt bother negotiating further cos i thought the price quoted was good enough alr. tho it makes me wonder if they can so easily give $100 discount, what exactly is the base price or srp of all these items.

Yeap. They rather earn a few $$ from each component then loosing the whole rig profits.

They are more of a mass selling.

If you're getting 30% difference, then you're missing something, because I can find 0% difference except for CPU + mobo.

Btw, gratz for Golden 3570K! Only got 4.4 max stable onmine

 

[sHrike]

I gave up on tradepac....guess they have too much businesses over the weekend. ..eat bao bao liao...ask for asrock extreme 4 , cpu, casing and psu...tell me no stock...as I walk away ...ask them one confim no stock..they nodded...too bad...in the end I get from best buy...the prices better than trade pac first quote

Simple logic. Would you rather sell stocks asap at $5 margin or keep hold of that stock?

Combined with the alleged business practice and bulk of customer base TP already has, they would be the only one in SLS to afford to sell full systems at extremely cut throat margins. Other shops CAN sell at TP bargained prices (minus CPU + mobo), but without the volume of customers TP has, they can't sell at those margins

This is where shops try to establish their identity;
-> PCT with it's growing rep amongst newbies
-> MNC for the same thing but with added free delivery
-> Fuwell relying on their "The Most Preferred IT Shop" banner
-> Cybermind trying to carry everything under one roof
-> Bizgram switching Sandisk stocks plus (apparently) aligning their business practice similar to that of TP
-> Scorpia relying on looking cool and hip
Etc.
