507576 2006-12-18 03:05:00 I am going to singapore for a while, and want to compare prices for computer componenents before I go.

Anyone know of something like a singapore pricespy? Or any website where I can see the singapore prices? I can't really find any.

Thanks

507577 2006-12-18 03:12:00 Hey. If after x hours and still no one comes to help you, then I suggest you check out some Singaporean forums to find out more details about your desired computer component prices.

Cheers :)

The lesson I learnt when I travelled to Singapore earlier this year was to avoid the touristy shops - the owners of those stores are well aware of how to con tourists, as I learnt (later on), that a digital camera I bought at one store in Sim Lim Square (their big computer/electronics mall) could be purchased $50 cheaper at a more "local" shop elsewhere in Sinapore.

I did find a pricespy-like site before I travelled there though - called VRZone or something along those lines.

507580 2006-12-18 06:25:00 Hmmm, well everything I have seen so far is about the same price, if not more expensive than what I can get it in NZ. I thought it was supposed to be a lot cheaper :( mejobloggs (264)
507581 2006-12-18 06:38:00 Bear in mind the "listed prices" are often much higher than they are willing to sell to you. Have in your mind how much things cost here... and then make a decision once you're there depending on how cheap you can get something. somebody (208)
