Pls assist to advice.

There is no such things as best shop.
At one time one shop might offer better rate then others. But the next time the others might be better.
Walk the 100m strach if shops ops NH.
Ask 3-4 shops you should get an idea of what the nominal rate.
Depands on how much u changing then you decide if it is worth1 2 continue
Asking.

Without such games. These shops can’t survive

Years ago i managed to escape a raid at Lucky Plaza. The owner told me the following week that all Singaporeans nabbed were fined $1k plus the police took their handphones too. Worst than robbers.

After that The cigarettes or power bank will be "buy back" by someone from the game shop but outside the game shop.
