How I was "cheated" by Royal Selangor

-


Here's the sad story..............

On 15 July 2006, I bought FIFA World Cup 2006 Fridge Magnet at RM65 per set from The Curve outlet. I specifically asked the salesperson why there's no discount after World Cup 2006. He replied "This is special edition, thus no discount". Thus, I bought it without hesitation.

2 weeks later, I passed by the same Royal Selangor store and notice there's a Merdeka Sale banner at the window. As curious as I am, I walked into the store and to my horror !!!!!!!! 
All FIFA World Cup 2006 items are on 50% DISCOUNT !!!!! At the same price I bought at, I could have get 2 sets....
Note to self : Be patient and wait for the best offer

p.s. Actually not complete because my Fridge Magnet is not listed on the website.

My #RM1Challenge Trade-Up

Inspired by the red paperclip success (by Kyle MacDonald in 2005), individuals worldwide began experimenting with their own unique trades, aiming to achieve a remarkable exchange. The journey typically begins with an individual offering an item they possess, often of little monetary value, in exchange for something slightly more valuable. The goal is to continue trading up until the desired end result is achieved — RM10,000 value is reached by 31 December 2024. This seemingly simple objective sets the stage for a cascade of creative and unexpected exchanges. As with any unconventional trade, the success lies in the ability to find willing participants and negotiate mutually beneficial exchanges. Participants often tap into their networking skills, social media, and local communities to connect with potential trading partners. The items exchanged can range from everyday objects to unique and niche possessions, each trade adding a layer of intrigue to the unfolding story. The beauty of m

Nintendo Revolution in June 2006

Gizmodo : Amazon.com France has slipped a page with the European release date and price for Nintendo's monolithic new game console, the Revolution. The release date is listed as June 15, 2006. The total, after conversion, would be about $365. European console prices tend to be a bit higher than here in the U.S., but this still sounds like a fool's ransom given the Xbox 360's $299-$399 pricetag. (Remember that Nintendo says its console will be less technologically advanced and thus cheaper than the Xbox 360 or PS3). Based on the GameCube's 2001 launch cycle, it arrived in Europe six months after it debuted in N.A. This leak gives credence to rumors that the Revolution could see a surprise 2005 launch. Either that, or Nintendo is doing some very cheeky marketing."
