yongchris 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 it's priced at $99USD, so unless Sim Wong Hoo wants to rip singaporeans off (more/again) $219 is a strange price. So you think paying much more for Shure or Ety is not being ripped off? Btw, can you comment on your review set? I'll like to know more about its quality before commenting on its price... I'm saying the conversion from 99USD to 219SGD is strange. It's understandable if an american company sells something more expensively in singapore due to shipping costs and what have you. But if a singaporean company sells its product in its own market at a higher price than an international market, wouldn't you find it strange? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not strange if they all comes from China, anyway, China made stuff are actually more expensive in China than Singapore so its nothing new.... maybe the markup is higher on the Singapore distributor.
