Default nikon mb10

Today i went to MS to ask the nikon MB10 price. I was quite shock when one of the sale man say they sell it for $450. Why the nikon MB10 price went up so much?

Hm....I am really dissapoint if that's the case.....hopefully it's an isolated case where the salesman trying to pull a fast one from desperate buyer

If I am you, I will go for 3rd party(cost 1/3) to Chiam Si Tong until Nikon's price stabilize

I think this may be an isolated case ... MS Colour is usually quite reasonable with their pricing. Point to note though is maybe not to go to the one inside AMK Hub ... Go to their old store near the Food Centre ... The bosses and the old-hands are usually there ... More experienced staff there also.

When enquiring with MS..dun approach to those younger salesman/saleswoman, they are not reliable....Look for jackson or Florence and check with them directly. Otherwise request an e-qoute from MS.
