Something interesting i notice in the online market place recently...hehehe...
Someone's been trying to sell off voucher/s from Horizonfast ferry at S$10 and i was trying to work the total cost of it out,hehehe...
(expiring 16th May 2019)
If i were to buy this S$10 voucher from him/her, i will still need to pay all the plus plus like PDF and fuel surcharge of S$21 and the terminal fee in Batam for S$7. So my total cost would be S$10 + S$21 + S$7 = S$38
And if i were to travel on weekends, i need to fork out another S$10 extra,hehehe...this is a really LPPL deal to me if i were to travel on weekend tho. I mean the ferry ticket can be purchase DIRECTLY at the Horizonfast Ferry shop at Harbourfront at S$48 ,so whats the point getting that deal for?
Of course,if i were to travel on weekdays, the cost to me would be at S$38. Still a pretty good deal as compare to the below orange ticket....
...which is gonna cost S$40 buying from online site in Singapore (not E-Ticket type,its an open ticket for 2 way trip meant for all passport). Of course if buying from batam at "dont-know-where" would cost 380k rupiah (about S$36.72 base on 10350/SGD exchange rate). Note that the orange ticket expires on 31st March 2019. The one sold in Batam expires 30th April 2019.
Being someone stingy, i recently manage to pick up some "scattered around" one way Horizonfast ferry ticket at S$10 each from the online market place,hehehe...
(below are the tickets i physically have with me now,hehehe..)
When buying ferry tickets online, i would often check if its...
1. ..for all countries passport or was it for Indonesia passport only.
2. ..E-ticket where i need to submit my personal particulars to a complete stranger and need at least 2 or more person-to-go.
3. ..expiry date of the ticket itself is very close by to the date of my travel
4. ..way cheaper than buying directly from the ferry company itself.
Example, Horizonfast ferry ticket usually cost about S$38 to S$40 online (open ticket,not E-ticket) and direct from Horizonfast company itself cost S$48, so deal is quite fair if you buy from seller's ticket nearby where you stay (its not a good deal if you stay too far from seller tho, calculating the transport cost factor).
5. ..its an open ticket,where i can go on any dates within the expiry of the ferry ticket and come back to my country on any dates (of course,"any dates" stated here is within the date where respective visa allows).
Its a learning experience for me on the above which i tested recently,hence sharing it here. For all to know, i dont sell those ferry tickets stated but on the contrary, will buy them (Horizonfast ferry ticket only) if i chance upon a really good deal,hehehe...and even if i have more good deal tickets on hand on a later date,i wouldnt sell lower than buying from Horizonfast ferry company itself either.
Reason? I will be better off selling to those aunties and uncles at full price,hehehe...or simply keep it for my own use while i collect cash from the people who pays for my trip.
