Take great caution when shopping in those electronic stores around JimShaTsui and MongKok. Back in the old days when we used to go to HK to shop for cheap electronics, in particular Walkman. We would managed to bargain (hard) to the lowest price we could find available for a particular Walkman model, and only to find out: "what we see is what we get", ie. All other accessories were not included, even the earphone and batteries (for a Walkman), let alone the warranty, recharger, leather case etc&#8230; There were reports that they even gave defected, scratched or On Display one.They used to have this philosophy (not sure if still applies), was that: "Once crossed the sea, is God (or safe)". Those days, they know people shop there are mostly tourists like us. And tourists generally do not have the time for price survey. The only price reference is to prices back home (which are of course much more expensive), and easily lost in currency exchange calculations. They try to take advantage of it, in whatever way they can. Most of all, tourists will not find out (shortfall) until they left the country or to report it, or never find out. And once you pay for the goods, you don't even have to leave the shop, the money is gone.[/quote]
