The SC2SEA Store

I have plans over the next few weeks to incorporate an E-Store on SC2SEA, and would gladly appreciate any feedback in this thread. There are often many threads here talking about the best gaming products to buy with people wondering what is good and where to get it at the cheapest price. Basically we aim to help those people by focusing on providing a small range of the most popular and best rated products and at a slightly cheaper price, a small E-Store in essence with a handpicked selection of the best gaming products which we gamers use.

Why will it be cheaper?
I have no plans to open a retail store, and SC2SEA already gets a healthy amount of new traffic from gamers everyday. Because we don't have to pay expensive rental costs like a brick-and-mortar shop, these cost savings will be passed down to users in the form of cheaper prices. Also because we will be buying in bulk, we can get a discounted rate of the overall prices and we also get the special vendor rate not available to normal buyers. In summary, these three points end up making the product a fair bit cheaper than if you were to buy them on your own. Of course if the companies have price protect regulations we will stick to that but our prices will never be more expensive than what you can get elsewhere!

Why buy it on SC2SEA?
Apart from being cheaper, we only plan to sell products that our members have used and enjoyed. Trust is one of the key concepts behind the store as no one wants to buy an expensive product only to regret it later. Its also hard to differentiate reviews you can use because there is so much affiliate spam and advertisements on the internet you don't know which are reliable. So the reviews you end up trusting are usually those you can relate to such as friends or members of your gaming community. For e.g in this thread you can see mOOnGLaDe genuinely loves the Razer Krait mouse and so do a few others so I'm definitely putting that in the store with their comments. There will be a testimonial and rating system for each product as well as a stringent quality analysis before putting up each new item to make sure that only the best rated products are handpicked for our store.

SC2SEA is a name you can trust and in our short time we have developed a strong and loyal community of members. As we continue to expand (probably gonna have a small Diablo 3 forums) it will be based on this same set of values and we hope new members too can quickly recognise us as a name you can trust.

Lastly, I have already registered sc2sea.com as a company and everything here will go through the proper distribution channels and I will verify the suppliers are 100% legit etc if not the products will not be sold, simple as that. Everything will be by the book and legal as how all respected E-Commerce shops operate.

Ideally I would like to keep the number of different types of gaming peripherals under 10 so I have less inventory issues for products which can't be drop shipped. e.g the Filco keyboards thats why they are only available in Singapore for the moment. Please leave your feedback here on the products you want to see, or products you will be interested in ordering, as it would really help with the bulk ordering.

For e.g "I definitely want to buy the Filco 2 mechanical keyboard" and if you're from Singapore I can place the order already and have stock, and you will be able to get it 1-2 days after payment.
