Why tradepac sell so cheap?

[trento]

Pc themes?

 

[Ark Law]

So other than Tradepac any other cheap places to buy stuff?

Something like 2nd cheapest.

I've only bought a set of HDD, CPU, mobo and RAM from Tradepac and they charged me what was stated on the price list.

Depending on the type of system you're building, sometimes you're better off getting certain single item purchase from another shop instead of getting your complete set from TP

Why does tradepac at sls sells the components so cheap compare to the rest?
Is it 2nd handed or other wise

This was my experience dealing with Tradepac.

Went down to Tradepac with a friend yesterday, a guy with hair longer the rest of the staff attended to me. As I was going for a budget build, yet wanting to be a little future proof I had my eyes set onto the MSI Z97 Guard Pro + i5 4690. Firstly, he recommended me the MSI B85 however, I had already bought a 1866MHZ ram so I told him I wanted the MSI Z97 Guard Pro. He told me no stock and offered me the ASROCK Z87 KILLER. As my colour scheme for my build was blue, I told him that I wanted the MSI Z97 Guard Pro. (I know I damn mafan but as I said, I liked the MSI Z97 Guard Pro)

He made a few calls here and there (don't know real or not) and asked his colleagues. Then quoted me 480 for mobo + cpu. As I knew PCT was selling it at 473(?) I pretended to walk away like three or four times before he dropped the price to 470. Didn't purchase it ytd as honestly, I would purchase it from PCT for $3 more.

Went down to Tradepac once again today, with another friend (ah neh) who was quite familiar with one of the staff there due to his relative being a frequent customer. Was quoted 457 (without telling them we were gonna purchase two sets) today. We had to pay in cash, and they required us to deposit any amount before going down to withdraw. In the end, bought 2 mobo + cpu sets, 1tb wd blue, 2tb wd green and CM 212X. However, the mobo need to collect next week. (So have or don't have the mobo yesterday?)

Well, it's just my personal experience dealing with Tradepac as I am a newbie. Further illustrates that the pricing they have on the price list wasn't quoted to me on both occasions but its evidently better to have a friend who knows the staff to get a slightly better pricing.

If i just get CPU+MOBO from TP, will it be same price as their price list? Might get monitor from them too.

 

[ykgoh]

Why Copper Mine sell so expensive?

 

[FatalityV]

no, + 20$ or so.

+ monitor also no use. You must buy a full rig.

I ever bought a full rig excluding gpu from them before and they charged me 20 extra for mobo

Price list is not the main thing. Most important it's cheaper than other stores

They don't have it in stock, yet you are willing to pay first and collect next week? whatever for.. motherboard is not a 'rare' item that you need to wait for.

As for PC Themes vs Tradepac.. I don't see why one would want to pay even a single dollar more at PCT vs any other shop. I would gladly pay for better/more service, but a recent sour experience has changed my mind entirely about that shop. YMMV...

[robolee]

for PCT, u better buy from yilong only.
His other sale man/lady have sold me an opened used/faulty PSU before.
Of course it's my fault not to check too but PCT reputable is there so i did not check. Worst the PSU fried my motherboard (which bought from PCT too afew mth back from PCT and Yilong changed both the PSU and motherboard (Yilong help me RMA and give me a brand new motherboard)

No matter how good the service or rating of the shop be, Check your item!

For tradepac if it's cheaper alway check for the warrenty sticker. These ah neh is sneaky ******* too

I newbie leh, was it bad choice? But as I said, my friend's relative is a frequent customer (to the point like every month buy systems one) So hopefully they don't cheat me

Yeah, on the same day I went to Tradepac, Yilong was there to serve me. Really nice and honest about his pricings. Going down next week to get my PSU.

Actually if YL stopped working at PCT, I would stop patronising PCT altogether. The other staff don't bother or aren't willing to give discount at all. Be it big $100 or small $10 item, YL still cuts the price tag for me

There is no way to check at the shop except visual signs of a return unit vs new unopened unit.

when i return the psu, they say why no this and that. i just told them, when i open up, these item are not in it anymore then yi long look at the serial then say this is an faulty unit and swap 1 brand new one for me.

So basically buy from yi long and check on the spot. the other saleman/lady cmi de. Even the **** from tradepac is better than PCT salesman/lady
