shopback for electronics only 2%, pls take note
And those credit card 6 or 7% capped at $60/70 ($1000 spending).
So u looking at almost $3K, i.e. same as RRP
As for PT aka Alan, no comments - whether safe or not, see what others say
I'm looking at the bigger picture
When LTA engages vendors to paint roads and bumps, it's not for a single stretch of road, probably a larger scale project containing several roads etc
as u pointed out, the painting of one side is required cos of cabling works
The cost to repaint the other side would not likely be disproportionate, if to be done at a later stage
7daydeal price is actually $2180 only

So $479 difference
Battery can easily buy original used from CS ~$50, memory card nowadays 64gb sandisk extreme U1 $45 (don't need U3 cos no 4K)

different pricing strategy, but frankly, most people look at just the bottom line pricing, and if price gap is big enough, the freebies don't really matter
