How could this be possible?

Wish to shop for cheap gadgets, but do not know where to head for?
LOWYAT is the answer.

If you plan to compare products sold in Courts Mammoth with Tesco, guess which one offer a better price?
Let's the battle begins.
To make everything looks fair, I will try to compare apple to apple.

Product 1: RM29.90 (Courts Mammoth)

Product 1: RM19.90 (Tesco)

Product 2 will be AVF ear phone as well. (I am planning to buy an ear phone so pay more attention to ear phone)

Product 2: RM39.90 (Courts Mammoth)
Product 2: RM29.90 (Tesco)

Why is it things selling in Courts Mammoth have to be a lot more expensive than Tesco?
If you did read my previous blog regarding Courts Mammoth, you will know I do not like Courts Mammoth at all. Then why I went there?
I went to Tesco in Mutiara Damansara that day to buy a DVD player, but sadly no stock for the one I chose and just opposite located this "Mammoth" on sales. and found that the price after Mammoth sales still remain "Mammoth"

Now, let's continue with product 3.
Product 3 : (Courts Mammoth)
Ladies and gentlemen, and here comes our product 3. Cool isn't it! It is 70" Samsung LCD TV.
They're selling it by half price.(50% discount)
Guess how much is this TV after the "Mammoth" discount?

Sorry, I cant find the same TV by Samsung in Tesco, but I can give you a hint:
As you can see, the retail price for Sony Bravia 70" TV is RM200,000 before discount.(Both Sony Bravia & Samsung are HD1080 with nearly similar spec) So what will be the discounted price of Samsung TV in Courts Mammoth?

And the answer is:

RM199,999.00 after their 50% discount!!!(Courts Mammoth)

How could this be possible???

This reminds me of a story, a very interesting story that suits the title well, sadly it's in Chinese. Since you have come so far, I guess you don't wish to miss the ending. By BEG or DRAG, ask someone to translate for you!

hahaha~~ The price just doesn't make sense to me...

I just bought a 46" LCD TV. Guess it's a Panasonic with US$ 2000.

Sigh, it's hard to survive in M'sia. Everything is expensive in M'sia :'(

Hey Alvin,

mine is a cheap brand called " GC", exclusive brand sell only at Carrefour, RM2999.

if u have credit card, u r entitled for 24 months free interest installment !

since this is not a branded brand so i wouldnt know if it will spoil after 1 year warranty, some stores did offer 2- 5 years warranty for PLASMA TVs, u know, the parts are very expensive, so extra warranty coverage can be a safer way, however, this unit i bought is good, 1024 x 768 resolution, 10,0000 brightness, support HDMI, etc.. & its Nicam Stereo !

hope this info u may find it useful.
