A few weeks ago, while at Centrepoint, Robinson looking out for iRobot Roomba, we came across this 1950 American Diner Payphone selling for $300+
It was love at first sight but it's a little too costly for us, considering that we seldom use the landline at home nowadays.
But considering that we have this feature column post at our new apartment, we thought it would enhance the living area.
So, as a veteran googler, i jumped into the world wide web, and dig on that.
Armed with only the brand of the phone, "Wild & Wolf", I founded 3 sources.
2 from overseas site while another from Kris Store.
However Kris Store only allows purchase for people departing Singapore (crazy rule here) while one of the overseas site doesn't ship to Singapore.
Thank goodness, the last source does shipped internationally. And not juz that, they are way cheaper then buying it at Robinson or Kris Store. The difference is like almost $100+ more.
Side track a bit, retailer ought to wake up their idea about these crazy mark up of the prices. Especially when Internet is the way to go, if you know where to look.
Anyway, not only our last source are selling much more cheaper, but we got it like 3 days after paying and their customer service beats Singapore's hands down (just had one miserable encounter during the weekends when a service provider threaten to seek legal action against me, after I commented about their less then average services)
Anyway, behold the most expensive deco which I might have at the new place.

Hi Elly,
I got it from Bloomsbury & Co. They ship around the world.
