1bit 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 last time there was www.grabadisc.com.sg but they went down somewhile ago there's this www.bangcd.com i think it's based in sg as well, take a peek at their website and found out their return address in alexandra haha http://www.bangcd.com/faq.aspx but anyway their prices are based on poundsterling i guess, quite ex compared to local prices on the website they have an option for you to choose the price in sgd but it's just a conversion i think you might want to try singapore's yahoo auctions. there are some 2nd hand cd sellers there but from my experience you need to verify with them the cd quality, some have scratches here and there. haha i'm a bit particular about this.

haxyer 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 you got any sellers to intro on yahoo auctions ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1bit 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 mm haha quite difficult eh. it's not like i know them personally. you can check their ratings first. if they have like 100+ perfect good ratings i think they've a lot of experience already and can be trusted. anyway in my 3 years experience trading in yahoo it has been a pleasant one. i think as long as you are careful and have good intention in closing the deal it should be okay. so i suggest you just search for whatever you want, check the seller's ratings, understand all the terms, and then bid with confidence. if you won, try to get in contact with him early on and then discuss with him how to do the transactions. usually if buyer and seller keep communicating there shouldn't be any problem. most of the sellers are locals anyway so easier to deal. have fun auctioning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute0 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 I try to avoid sellers who do not allow inspection of the items before purchase and instead insist on receiving the money, then mailing the items. I don't see why a meet-up is so difficult when Singapore isn't all that big... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1bit 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2005 you mean all those cds from china? (those labeled in chinese) mm yeah been wondering about that as well actually those chinese labeled cds are really cheaper, can reach 50% cheaper than english labeled cds but now a bit hesitant to buy them, do they have the same quality? anybody has experience with those cds? how about those japanese cds? they are more expensive but i heard they got better quality but not sure if it's better in terms of mixing quality or the cd production (pressing) quality anybody knows about this?
