Epicentre is 6 years old, Apple products got discount?

May 31st, 2008

I went to Orchard today to walk around and I saw these people in white were playing drums and distributing flyers outside Wheelock Place. It’s the 6 anniversary of Epicentre Orchard, in case you don’t know what Epicentre Orchard is, it’s one of the earlier, if not earliest Apple reseller in Singapore and it has a branch in Pavillion KL. I bought my 4g iPod from them, and that’s the only thing i bought from them till now.

The event was an auction, auctioning the Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and iPods. I thought the buy price in an auction would usually be slightly lower than the retail, but I was wrong. The price of the Macbook Air was as high as 5k plus plus. You maybe wondering who the hell will pay so much for a $2988 product? Actually, the auction was a charity, aiming to donate the money to the victims in the disaster zones. I have donated too!

Their publicity was certainly a success (super crowded in the store) or perhaps it’s just a shopping season since the Great Singapore Sales has begun. Nonetheless, don’t expect any discount on the Apple products except for the 20″ iMac which has a generous 20% off the regular price. Maybe they want to sell away the defect units? In fact many people have observed and proved that the 20 inch iMac’s display is far inferior to the brother 24 inch in terms of color. So, don’t be fooled, Apple hardly gives discount!
