So the new iPad 2 has just been announced and retailers are in a rush to clear the remaining inventory of the 1st generation iPad.
One local retailer, Villman, has announced an iPad Sale and offered discounts between Php1,000USD 17INR 1,445EUR 16CNY 124 to Php2,000USD 34INR 2,889EUR 32CNY 248 per device.
However, they might has missed that Apple even slashed the suggested retail price of the old iPad by as much as Php4,000USD 68INR 5,778EUR 65CNY 496.
That means Villman’s sale price are actually higher than Apple’s SRP for the old iPad. I’m hoping someone from the inside would notice and fix the sale price.

@Abe, di ata nagbabasa ng yugatech mga sales persons nila or di man lang tumitingen ng latest news sa net.
ZERATUL-PH says:
SALE FAIL. hahahahah! Pati naman ibang laptops sa Villman pricing failure din. May extrang ginto or diamond yata sa loob mga yan kaya mas mahal.
prince_don says:
yeah…..
34k ang i3 laptop ni
when you can buy the samela. thing at Foxcom sa Gilmore ng 26k
see the difference? :)
JKisaragi says:
Aww…this is just a sad attempt for Villman to sell leftovers before the PH release of the iPad 2.
Charli3 says:
the storename says it all. villman = Overpriced goods.
lolipown says:
Not surprised, I’ve never seen anyone recommend Villman for their prices.
Suplado says:
guys, business is business. kung mahal sa kanila, meron pa namang other stores. kung di nyo pa rin ma-afford, meron pa namang ibang tablet dyan. di lang ipad ang tablet sa mundo. besides, we can’t dictate them what to do. just my two cents.
lalin says:
baka naman since the price of their stocked items were originally higher so they can’t give their prices at lower/Apple’s revised price. oh well, mahal naman talaga prices sa Villman.
Boo says:
Haha.. Kahit sa sale items, may premium pa rin ang villman..
Scott says:
Sometimes you pay a price for all those grey market imports
Benchmark33 says:
If Apple will be shouldering the discounts of their Ipad units stocks, perhaps Villman will follow the same SRP. :-)
Tigrrr says:
Mahal naman talaga mag-presyo ang Villman. I only buy there if the item I need is not available in PC Express.
ald101294 says:
Baka Villman is not an authorized Apple reseller kaya they are not able to drop down their prices.
cosmic says:
Kawawa naman ang bibili.
edson1to says:
a big BOOOOOOOO for them..
joshuab says:
They have a better deal in CMK cellphones. Check their pricelist at their website:
http://www.cmkcellphones.com/apple.html
JKisaragi says:
@ald101294
I guess that is exactly the reason why they can’t lower the prices the same as other authorized resellers can.
Sucks for them. XD
someone says:
effective na ba yung price drop ng ipad locally? i mean, pag pumunta ka ba sa apple store makaka-avail ka na with their suggested SRP? kung hindi pa, then wala naman mali sa ginawa ng villman.
JKisaragi says:
@someone
Yes. May mga nakapagsabi na sa Price Cut post here in Yugatech na may mga authorized resellers na nag-impose na rin ng 4k price cut.
I’m actually looking forward to buying one. I won’t need the power of the iPad 2 to view documents anyhow. :)
2 cents says:
sana nga magkaroon din ng yugatech computer store mura na may libreng product review pa ahiii ^_^
2 cents says:
teka baka naman 24 months @ 0% sa credit card yan puwede ^_^
0% says:
12 months ” zero %” interest ang mga iPad nila, para sa mga gusto ng installment
you can’t do that sa online apple store
zero% says:
12 months “zero % interest” @ villman
you can’t do that sa apple online store
adam says:
I agree sale fail talaga. Who will buy to them kung ganun lang price cut na ginawa nila. Lalo na if nagbabasa ng yugatech yung mga interested bumili ng Ipad.
raul barrios says:
Style lang nila yan sa sales. Nagbabasakali siguro sila na merong hindi nakakaalam na 4k na ang price cut…
csseyah says:
Ohh My! ohh my! galing talaga ni yuga hehehe … mas reliable pa bumili sa mismong Apple store kung iPad lang din ang bibilhin.. tsk tsk tsk hay Villman…
Nolixxx says:
Thanks YUGATECH sa info. Hahaha Villman
razorous says:
Thanks for info Yuga! Kawawa naman yung maeeganyo nilang bumili jan… Total failure.
win2klover says:
Yugatech = epic win!
Villman = epic fail!
tofsie says:
power mac offers 3 mos 0%
The A shop offers 6 mos 0%.
Both offers 12 deferred but with a 5% increase.
still get a lot of DC. =)
Jeff says:
Fooo. Villman should check their prices. Maybe they have a reason to offer this kind of promo or just an honest mistake hehe
Gumz says:
old stock cguro…
Jedd says:
Gadgets in Style sell Apple goods at online price with installment options.
arj says:
di lang naman sa villman pati sa mga selected stores, di nila alam yung price cut sa 1st gen ipads. gaya sa baguio, mga 4-5k lang ang ibinawas, thinking that people will still buy them and not aware of it
mr. bogus says:
who cares about villman????
i guess the mayaman people but morons!!.. hahahaha
chris says:
gahaman naman .. less 4k dpt.. 1k?cnu naman bibili dyn..hahah.. kalokohan
Jamey says:
Power Mac Center and The A Shop are now selling the iPad1 16gb wifi for only P19,990 (3 mos installment for Power Mac and 6 mos for The A Shop). Digital Hub’s selling it for a much lower price at around P17,000+ (P4,000 off!!) with six mos installment, along with a P1,000 gift certificate which you can use for the iPad case. However… we inquired at Digital Hub yesterday and ALL their branches within Metro Manila are out of stock of the 16gb wifi iPad, the same day they lowered their prices. Fail, Digital Hub, fail!
The good thing is, the 32gb wifi iPad is now only P24,000, the original price of the 16gb before they lowered their prices. Much better choice.
Now I feel bad for my friend who bought the iPad1 only three weeks ago.
Bobotski says:
FYI guys, Villman updated their prices, its now the same with the Apple Online Store. Looks like they heard us, hahaha!
Philippine Android News says:
IMO, Villman is pricey!
JKisaragi says:
@Yuga
Sir Abe, you might want to check VillMan’s post again regarding the sale. They changed it (dunno when) to the following:
16GB WiFi – 19,990
32GB WiFi – 24,990
64GB WiFi – 29,990
16GB WiFi+3g – 26,990
32GB WiFi+3g – 31,990
64GB WiFi+3g – 36,990
So I guess we have to thank your post Sir Abe as it sure did knock some sense into the people at VillMan. :)
Eason says:
well the changed it now :)
Benchmark33 says:
Parang mas ok sa On Line ng apple, kasi may free engraving sila dun…sa ibang shops ba meron?
Really?! Digital shop’s Ipad 1 cost 17k?! Wowa!!!
Sana bumababa pa ng 15k! HAHAHAHAHA kapal ng mukha! :-D
bokz says:
haha natawa nalang ako SALE: FAILED!
techyuga says:
Mahal naman talaga sa Villman kahit dati pa. Dunno why people still buy there.
marco says:
Mahal pala talaga sa villman. San ba mas mura? Grabe kala ko ok ung prices nila ng laptop. Lagi ko hinahanap i3 pataas, saan kaya pwedeng bumili nito?
boovillman says:
regardless, mahal talaga prices sa villman, parang infomax! they cater to those who are lazy to check other stores.
kawawa naman yung mga may internet pero di pa rin alam kung san makakabili ng mas mura sa villman.
