There is a couple of new pictures I took yesterday.

Enjoy.

So Im back from another Hong kong trip. Awesome. A real Mennonite shoppers paradise. Deals galore and people waiting to rip you off at every corner. Its true. Its all about shopper knowledge. You gotta figure out the bottom line of these people.

My tactic is to ask the price. If they say 100 dollars, hmm how about 25! They look at me and say 60! wow nice cut,so i say ok 30. they say 55, I say to high and start to walk away. If the price they buy for is 30 o higher, they leave me alone, if not they will run after and try to bargain some more. I wil go up maybe another 5 dollars, and be done. If they have left me alone I know i really was too low, so next time i'm willing to do the same thing but end up a little higher. Good thing there is always more than one shop with the same thing.

It feels a little stupid to offer a quarter of the price, but i usually buy for a third of the price, so it works out.

I bought a bunch of new ties for work adn ome nick nacks at the night markets. I bought a new camera lens, and tripod system at a camera store. Really gotta know which ones are good and which ones are not. Most that are well lit with neon lights are no good.

A few named Wing Shuing and Man Shuing (brothers) are the ceapest places around, but be ready for a lack of customer service. These guys want you in, your money, and you out ready for the next guy. The products are good and the prices are the best. But I require some customer service. so i researched 4 years of online comments about one store, Tin Cheung Camera Store in Tsim Tsa Shuei district. It turned out really good. I was a little it like a kid in a candy store, well it was candy to me and it was my birthday, so i had the right to be like that. They were supposed to open at 11 am s i was there at 10:55, and then at 11 they 1/2 opened they only let in deliveries and their lunch was delivered, and i am standing in the street trying to look patient but doing a horrible job. finally 1120 they open and let me in. And i rounded up my stuff. Then they usually dont negotiate, but my tripod was the display model, so they did, and i got a very good deal. The difference was worth the plane tickets to hong kong compare to Taiwan, and compared to canada it as even cheaper.

So we spent the rest of the day walking and shopping. It was super.

Hey all,

I added a few new pics on the www.dealboyrandy.com, and one that can be used as a wallpaper. Maybe I should put a freebie section and make some wallpapers in my spare time. Lemme know whatcha think.
Have a good one.
