IBM 1GB Microdrive at $390 selling in MS Color....

[mpenza]

for those who are looking for one but do not want to make a trip to SLS. It comes with pcmcia card and IBM warranty. GST is included.

Just quote it's from Mr Loh when you go to the shop

But they replenish their stocks five at a time, so it might be good to call them first at 6457 6380.

It's in Ang Mo Kio Central. Next to the S11 food court besides Jubilee(?) complex. Anyway, their website's here:

I was told to call first though before going down. They usually don't keep lots of stock.

Does anyone here actually use a microdrive? I've been thinking about getting one for a trip to europe in a few months because it's the cheapest solution per mb... are they reliable, durable, etc? recommended or not?

Have been using the 340Mb since they launched. So far so good.

My 1GiG has not given me any problems for 6 months, despite dropping it twice.

The 1Gb is pretty stable.

Rule #11 : NEVER buy film from ANY lab. Somehow, labs almost always sell film at a higher price, including Colour Lab, RGB, Foto Hub, etc, even your neighbourhood one.

need to wait for my dealer to quote me too, will take some time

 

[erwinx]

how about posting pricelist of batteries/ chargers that you can get cheap?

It looks like I'll need 16-20 rechargeable AAs and 2 chargers if i convert to digital...... (ugh)

 

[sunyee]

i cant get all the price listed as the price depend very very much on the # of order. i am doing an MO for GP 1800 batt and smartcharger at 70 each closing date will be 15 June andthis will be the last time i am doing it cos already did once, the demand is getting too low for now.

smartcharger charge how long? oso how many pcs of batt comes with it?

might be interested if smartcharger charge at 1 or 2hr.

 

[sunyee]

smartcharger 1 hrs : 4x1800 seling at 70.00
GP 1800 twin pk(2pcs) selling at 6.80

ckiang : the price u quote will only be possible in mass order, beside regular dealer who order the roll direct from Fuji, for fuji product doesnt order more then 30 roll, as this type of roll goes slow. the price i had check, not even at the order of 100 roll, this is confirm

the best i can get, is 1 or 2 dollar off retail price, as staff price u can say.

dont be too greedy hehe, everyone goes for cheap price but sometime it the # of order that determind the price.
