NYARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Before I start... let's get some history :

1) I wanna buy a new lens - Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8
2) Price in Malaysia is RM 5,200 (RRP RM 5,988)
3) Price I was hoping to buy in Thailand : THB 45,000 based on my believe that the lenses are cheaper in Thailand.
4) Assume RM 1 = THB 10.

I went to Panthip Plaza today and shopped around for lens... got quoted THB 57k (RM 5,700)... PASS!

I went to the second shop... got quoted THB 40k++... My eyes went as big as ping pong balls... a dozen thoughts went through my mind including : Is this a second hand lens? Did someone drop the lens on the floor and cracked some internal? Is this a brand new lens price? Did he get it wrong? Am I dreaming???

I said to the guy...

"Are you sure of the price?"
"Yes"
"Is this for a brand new lens? Are you really sure???"

He started to doubt, looked at the pricings again... looked up sheepishly and said... sorry... that was for the Canon 24-70. The Nikon one is actually THB 57k.

@#*($&%&%(!@!@)$*%^@#@@#(&!#

Okay... next shop!

"How much is the 24-70mm?"
"40k+"
"Okay... how much is the total if I buy it with the 80-400mm?"
"Lemme check... oh hang on a minute... I got it wrong... that was for the Canon... Nikon is actually THB57k."

@#)*$(@*$!#@!(#*!@#(*@!$(*!%)*!%)*!@$)(@!#!@#(

I SERIOUSLY HONESTLY NEED TO LEARN THE WORD "I'LL TAKE IT!!!!!!!" AND THROW MY CREDIT CARD AT THE GUY, GRAB THE LENS AND RUN!

It happened on the SAME DAY not ONCE but TWICE!!! And I still didn't take advantage of the situation!!!!

NYARRRRRGHGHGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I'm gonna go ram my thick stubborn suspicious head against the wall now.
