FAQs (updated 19-Mar-2007)
I will try to answer the usual questions here then time to time update this post with new questions along their corresponding answers.
Q: Are you a scammer?
A: Even if am one will i answer a resounding "yes???" (HAHAHA!) Kidding aside, I-am-not-a-scammer, i always do my transactions personally and give out my full name and contact details. The world is now crawling with spin-doctors and con-artists, but there are still honest and trustworthy entrepreneurs (like me, weeeeeeeeee!). You can also ask for my friendster account, telephone number, house address, and even office address if you want to "background-check" me.
Q: Why are your digicams priced insanely low?
A: No, my digicams arent priced insanely low, but the reality is that digicams found in malls are priced INSANELY HIGH! Mall prices usually becomes the benchmark aka "STANDARD PRICES" of digicams in the minds of people. Mall stores' prices are stacked with overhead costs from the following factors
1. Rent for space
2. Monthly bills for utitlities used
3. Profitability
4. Employees' salaries
5. Assumption of "DRY DAYS"
Q: Where do you get your cameras?
A: Let's just say that I HAVE LOTS OF CONTACTS from other countries...
Q: Are your digicams "ORIGINAL?" (Baka naman gawang tondo lang yan!?!?!)
A: My digicams are made with same materials that makes up the digicams that are sold from malls. These are all "original," and are guaranteed to be brand new.
Q: Why are the images of the cameras always have a newspaper beside it?
A: Simple. So i can show people that i do get the camera on the specified date, BUT people may think that im only "recycling" cameras by buying newspapers with different dates. Even though this is also a possibility I think i wont exert the effort to buy 20 different cams then "recycle" them. "Nalugi ako agad nun kung ganun!." You can try clicking on the image and zoom into the newpaper's date.
Q: Why do you take a pic of the person who just had a transaction with you holding the cam?
A: For "credibility purposes," I also "watermark" the images with my blog's URL and i assure them that these images will only be used on my website, nothing more, nothing less. And my supplier also requires me to do it (baka raw hindi ko binebenta eh :P).
Q: Ayaw ko pa rin maniwala! Ayoko pa rin makipagdeal/ bumili sa iyo!
A: I can't and won't force someone to buy from me. We live in a free world and i respect one's decision.
Q: What are your modes of payment?
A: I do not accept Credit Cards, checks, and swapping of any kind (even if you try to give me your whole stash of HUSTLER mags i will refuse it)... CASH ONLY. I demand an inital DP via bank account transfer to my BPI or Metrobank bank accounts. The DP values are as follows (these are non-refundable)
Sub P 10,001 cameras~ 2K Down Payment
P 10,001- P20,000 cameras~ 3.5K DP
P 20,001- onwards cameras~ 5.0K DP
Initially I will shoulder the balance of the client, and upon delivery "KALIWAAN NA LANG," I hand you the camera, you hand me the money. No full payment, no camera... I hope i made this clear. ^_^
Q: Where will you hand me the camera?
A: Depends on the location of the client. But i prefer Makati, Alabang, and some selected areas in Laguna only. Also, we will meet where there are people around, preferably in malls or fast food chains. Dark alleys and spooky caves are a no-no..
And dont try to mug me, i have people with me all the time...
