Jom kita pi Rom

You may call it salvation army, vintage store, bundle, lelongan antarabangsa or whatever, back here in KK we call it ROMBENGAN. Jom kita pi Rom!....


Selling 2nd hand clothes, begs hats, belts, socks, bed sheets, shoes..etc for adults to babies and sometimes for your car or wedding decor, if your lucky. Many loves to to shop here not because it's cheap and branded but because most of the time it's one of a kind.

Sold in bundles to the vendors who sell to walk-in customers for a a small price. The goods sold are mostly from Australia, China, Korea and Singapore. Depending from the origin of the goods, the day of the month, new arrival, if your right on you can get good and cheaper price for your bounty hunt.

The clothes sold are not all 2nd hand in fact many are jut factory rejected or of seasons. Sometimes all the stall will sale summer garments and the next they might sell winter clothes.

Better known as being 2nd hand, not many are kin to shop here, although there are also garment sold that still have their tags on. Another put off for some people is that it's being sold in open markets or 'Gypsy market' I call it. The goods are sold on parking lots or empty lot under movable tents and depending on the venue it's open once or twice a week or everyday outside of KK. The further off KK you go the better the price.

In KK itself there is one open every morning till afternoon of Sunday at Kg. Air and my all time favourite on Tamu time on Thursdays and Fridays in Donggongon.

If your planning to go I suggest you bring a few more people for security reasons because you can get distracted shopping and be prey to unsuspecting snatch thieves. There are police around but it's better being safe then sorry plus with extra friends around its more fun and you have extra hand to help carry your load...who knows you might hit the jackpot...hehehe

Another tip, be a good bargainer and try to dress less show off so you get a good price...hehehe other then that bring small change and put them where you don't have to keep on reaching back in your bag. And try to make friends with the vendors that way you will get good info on whats new around and cleaning advice. No. ! tip BE NICE.

What I meant of hitting the jackpot is that sometimes you can get many beautiful looking evening dress and bed sheets from branded houses cheap cheap....I got one tube hippie dress yesterday for only RM12.00 after barganing from RM18.00 wait a little longer you can get it cheap put maybe bought by someone else then.

Anyway I suggest you go and try it for yourself don't be afraid...
