Default NP-FM50 battery at $50 at PS

Today i went to confirm the price of the battery, its $50. This is at courts at PS, they are dowing a closing downsale. So a starter pack for video camera includes a video camera bag, a metal Hi8 tape and the FM50 battery at $50. It was original selling at 99 but now its at $50. Can consider because cathay sells the original battery at $90!

Yeah they have cheap DCs. That time i went there i saw the CD mavica 200 going for $458! The normal price is abt 1200. Its until sunday ie tomorrow. Its the last day. Must check the bag before buying because somebags i found got the battery missing (most probably stolen) Other electronics prices are not bad too!

Hi sweat100, I am referring to what "PS" means? Peninsular Shopping? Parco Square?

I saw it as well... OMG.
I thought there was a pricing error or something.. and I even asked the person.

As of 2pm, there are ard 12 sets left.
But there is a set that has no battery / tape inside.
It's on the floor, at the camera section @ 3rd level.

Aiyah... things are like that one la.
Look on the bright side of life > you saved a great deal as well...

I was wondering whether to get it for the sake of getting it... As it was really dirt cheap. I think the bag costs like at least $10?

Glad I got one too, Went down to PS at 11:15a.m and saw several others searching the boxes for the ones with the battery.

I searched 4 boxes before I found one with the battery, I think the Courts salesman saw all the guys opening the boxes and got suspicious and he took all the boxes to the counter to do an inventory check.

Could see the look on his face when he discovered several boxes missing the battery.

He later shifted the boxes nearer to the security guard at the entrance/exit.
