What is the freaking wrong with TESCO and Carrefour selling at RM69.90? And what's the fuss about? SO WHAT if the hypermarket is undercutting? If you can get a book at a lower price, YOU BUY IT! So, why want to buy the book at RM109.90? Because your principles? Because you want to prove to other people that you can afford a RM100+ book? or you just want to brag about it? and about marketing. Do you really think that a book that people has been anticipating for 2 years NEEDS to advertise it to the fans? People has been hoping to get it EARLIER by one year or 2. So, saying that the hypermarkets are stealing the bookstores hard earn thunder is just crap. Harry Potter is a name people want to "ride" on it's popularity. Another thing, what's the freaking deal about "cheap"? Does that mean that my cousin who is a fanatic Harry Potter fan is a "fake" fan because she bought it at RM69.90, while my friend who bought it at RM109.90 because he just want to read it because his girlfriend is a huge fan is a REAL fan? What kind of illogical, mentality or absurdness is this? I don't understand you all, when you all can buy pirate CDs/DVDs, but shouts "FOUL", when a highly popular book is given a huge discounts. I am just sad that "common sense" is just a myth nowadays. While "illogical" stuff like, "hey, buying at RM69.90 is bad, we should buy at RM109.90." What the hell is going on in this world? or in the minds of Malaysians? I hope someone can figure it out, because I can't. I don’t understand the mentality of some of you people. What is the freaking wrong with TESCO and Carrefour selling at RM69.90?
