SUBCREW or SUB(S)CREW ?

SUBCREW brand already screwed by the Malaysian retailer.
From a very high profit margin to almost rock bottom cost price.
It's time for the consumers to take advantage of the price war between Boundlezz, RUM and CUBE.

First by BOUNDLEZZ
Cap RM 169 each

Second by RUM
Cap / T-shirt RM 150 each - 2 items for RM 270

BOUNDLEZZ fought back
Cap / T-shirt RM 125 each - 2 for RM 220

CUBE joined the fun
Cap / T-shirt RM 150 each - 2 items for RM 270

RUM returned the favour
Cap / T-shirt RM 125 each - 2 for RM 220 and now 3 for RM 300

Will Boundlezz and CUBE fight back with more lower price ?
We just wait and see. Now SUBCREW become SUB(S)CREW in Malaysia.
Screwed by the retailer themself.

Will Boundlezz use the same tactic again saying the stuff from Cube and RUM is fake?
My advise for Boundlezz is dont use this anymore because RUM got the stock about the same time with you and fake wont be that fast to produce. Think some better reasons now ! The winner now is RUM with the cheapest Subcrew in Malaysia

MY PREDICTION

As my question on who is going to be the next closing their store?

Boundlezz
They are very slow in their reselling business due to the slow in economy and all their water fishes already graduated. Boundlezz only depends on one brand called Subcrew and now RUM also brought in Subcrew and selling cheaper than Boundlezz and their stock is more faster than Boundlezz. Too many backstab will only kill yourself.

What's Good?
Badboyben is too rich. His new found hobby - Modifying cars. Your Subaru look great and you must be spent a lot of time to make it look good. What's Good business is not that good due to the lack of new stock. If Badboyben keep on playing with his Subaru and do not take good care of his staff I think this shop going to close next year the latest.

RUM
Rich kid on the block! If he continue let others people keep back stabing RUM, he will close his store in 6 months. They do not have many stuff from my last visit. No place for them to advertise or update their customers on the new arrival. Thanks to me that made them banned from Streething and sorry to Ranson that I do not mean it. Even you do not know who I am but I would like to apologise. Bringin more Taiwan's retail brand will help them to survive and if they do not becareful of Boundlezz they will close the store in 3 months. Boundlezz is too dangerous to play with.

CUBE
No new stock after the AngPau fever. Shop always remain closed. If these continue to be like this CUBE will be 'tapau' before mature after reborn.

I honestly wish all the stores above best of luck and I do not wish to see any of the shops closed down.

Who will survive from this economy crisis and how ?

TIMES SQUARE vs. SUNGEI WANG?

I think this is the battle of the year between streetwear stores in Times Square vs. Sungei Wang ? Who will win the battle ? We all will know on the eve of Chinese New Year. What is the odds ? Here is some of my very simple calculation based on their flyers info.

BOUNDLESS

3 main prizes = Levis Fenom Crush 6 , Visvim Christo and Visvim Bag

RM 388 = RM 200 voucher + secret item + cap + tee or pant

RM 388 = RM 0 voucher ( force to buy tactic = NO GOOD ) + (hopefully not so called " gucci belt ") + RM 50 + RM 50 or RM 80

You pay RM 388 and you confirmed getting RM 100 or RM 130 of stuff.
You lost RM 288 or RM 258

_________________________________________________________________


TIMES SQUARE ( CUBE x KROOKZ x SHOWROOM x RUM x CROSSOVA )

3 main prizes = Levis Fenom Crush 6 , Air Max 1 Clot Kiss of Death , Undercover Jack Purcell

I start with

RM 250 = 1 exclusive tee + 2 tees + angpau / 1 vans + 2 tees + angpau / 5 tees + angpau
RM 250 = RM 50 + RM 100 / RM 100 + RM 100 / RM 250

You pay RM 250 and you confirmed get back RM 150 or RM 200 or RM 250
You lost RM 100 or RM 50 or breakeven ( but you have a chance to get prizes with their angpau )

RM 100 = 2 tees + angpau
RM 100 = RM 100
You breakeven + you get a chance to win some of their prizes in the angpau.

So the conclusion is Times Square shops win hands down.

Buy RM 100 pack is more worth than RM 250 pack but again we do not know where is the big angpau. RM 100 or RM 250 ? I will go figure out soon.

* i assumed all the tees is worth RM 50 , shoes RM 100 , caps RM 50 , pants RM 80
