 Guide To Bargain Expensive DSLR at 10:01 PMPost my bargaining skills here so that you guys can use it as reference. Actually, not really bargain if you read them. =) I bought my D90 at Harvey Norman-Suntec @$1588. Freebies: 8GB SD Card, Bag, Tripod, Cleaning Kit, Spare Battery. Before deciding to purchase at Harvey Norman-Suntec, I made about 5 calls to different D90 retailers which include, MS Color, Parisilk, CathayPhoto, HN-Suntec & HN-CenterPoint. MS Color Price: $1680 Freebies: 8GB SD Card, Bag, Tripod and Spare Battery Parisilk Price: $1658 Freebies: 8GB SD Card Cathay Photo Price: $1560 Freebies: 8GB SD Card Harvey Norman (Suntec) *First Attempt* Price: $1688 Freebies: 8GB SD Card, Bag, Tripod, Cleaning Kit and Spare Battery Harvey Norman (CenterPoint) Price: $1588 Freebies: 8GB SD Card, Bag, Tripod Naturally, I thought HN's pricing and package should be consistent regardless of the outlets. I called HN-CenterPoint after I called HN-Suntec because I thought why not head to a nearer outlet. In case you wonder, the call was to confirm if they got D90 on stock. But only to find out the different package. So, I questioned the sales lady from HN-CenterPoint, why their freebies short of cleaning kit and spare battery while HN-Suntec have it. (I totally pretended that the price was the same =X I didn't do it on purpose, I just haven't say it!) In response, she asked if their (Suntec) spare battery was a third party battery or the original from Nikon? Seriously, I don't know. That's what I told her. Then she continued and offered that she could give me a third party spare battery and cleaning kit at $1588. =D Succeeded! I think I'm kinda greedy. That's bad. I called HN-Suntec again and prayed that it's not a third party battery and also telling them that HN-CenterPoint offered me the same package at $1588 (Suntec was $1688). Which actually the package was after sorta bargaining. Luckily enough, I spoke to a senior sale person, I presumed. He was cool and agreed to $1588. And anyway, its a third party battery in their package too. As usual, being flicker-minded, I decided to buy from Suntec la. Lolx. Actually, I don't know if a Nikon battery will work better on a Nikon camera or will there be any differences at all?? Bye |
