ya, i encountered once b4 at Chinatown too. Same tactic. After I told them I'm not interested, they say any amount for beer will do. I asked for their namecard (trying to expose them) but they gave me a bogus card with a number nobody answered when I called them up.

So guys, beware, they are very very, i should say, persistent!! Just stand firm on your ground!

I run into them at the carpark next to fook hai, I think 2-3 years ago.
Good thing it never interest me

Awww man, i almost believed them. true enuff two guys in a blue van, drove around in my blk's carpark. I was walking towards my car when the driver called out to me n asked if i wanted to buy new hi-fi set or home entertaintment system. same shitty story of xtra supplies n dun wanna bring back to the office. dis was jus last mth on a week day n i was wz my mum. luckily she discouraged me, also i was low on $$$... haha... phewww....

I stopped in front of a traffic light, and this guy in a van next to me also asked me. So not just limited to car park

[msc]

I was approached at my mom's block a few months ago. There were 2 guys in the van. The guy shouted to me of a good deal of expansive Hi-Fi speakers or equipment, not too sure...but I told him that I had some serious gigantic speakers at home and want to sell him instead!

They knew that I know the game and gave up on me to look for opportunities elsewhere and not to waste their time with an idiot like me! As for me, I got rid of cons like these.

Maybe we can brain-storm and come up with good lines in shooing these white van guys:

White van guy says:
"Hey handsome Sir! I got this wonderful, fantastic speakers in my van. These are surplus from the warehouse, they are supposed to issue me with 5 sets of speakers but made a mistake of issuing 6 sets into my van instead"
"I cannot return the extra set, so why not I sell it to you at 10% of the cost? These are made in the USa....and very expensive one you know"

Your answers:

1. My brother-in-law, also in the Speaker delivery business, and guess what? He got extra 3 sets from the warehouse this morning and did not know what to do with it. Since you are also canvasing to sell these, can you also take the 3 sets with you? We'll spit the beers later....

The Ch8 friday night 10.30pm show did reported on this b4. In the end, CASE also LL cos its not against the law. Just that their method of doing sales is questionable, thatz all.

One of the victim went all the way to Small Claims court to get a refund, then the boss settle out of court and gave him his refund. Cant imagine the amt of $$$ + time spent to get that refund.



Looks like I need to drive ard selling r/c heli and boats.

[Sunstorm]

Oh wowie. They asked me before outside Fook Hai building.

Of course say no la, nothing is for free in this world.
