We can't buy any electronics stuffs coz the voltage different and not used to buy any second hand things. If you don't mind to hang around in flea market, you might find something interesting but be careful and watch out for rip offs.

It's not often that I get excited about stores that sell washing machines and that sort of thing…read morebut Wah Sing has me stopping by every time I pass. It could be to do with my fascination with small gadgets, I suppose. This small home appliances shop in Mui Wo is run by a friendly man by the name of Mok. I first visited the place the day after I moved into the small community. From aircons to washing machines to electrical mini tennis rackets (for killing mosquitos not terrorizing friends!) Mok has the goods. I'm constantly on the look out for excessively long cables so that I can run a fan or a light on my rooftop. Mok didn't have any on hand so he decided to make one for me! The store really does have everything when it comes to in-home appliances and for a reasonable price. I go in even when I don't need anything just to have a look in case something can make my life easier at home. I ignore all the bigger contraptions and focus on the multi purpose plugs, adaptors, bedside lamps, and what not. I don't buy anything, but it's nice to know it's there should the need arise! I guess Wah Sing is mainly for those living in or around Mui Wo as I'm pretty sure there are other options closer to home. If you find yourself in Mui Wo needing a power adaptor or something as gizmo be sure to have a look here first.

The store is located on Castle Peak Road, right by the Tai Tong Road Light Rail station. It's at the heart of Yuen Long and very convenient to get there by any public transportation. This store may look very small from the outside, but it's actually 4 levels high. The first floor is mainly electronic appliances, TV, water heater, iron, fans, etc. The 2nd floor, they have a lot of plastic containers, boxes, trash bins, etc. The 3rd floor and 4th floor are all home furniture. They have good selections from bed, mattress, sofa, cabinets, chairs to coffee tables. There is a customization station where you can bring in the measurement and customize furniture you desire. I have customized furniture at Pricerite before. It usually takes about 7-14 days. It's well known that the furniture is being stored and made in China on demand basis. It's really not a secret. If you ask one of their staffs, they would not hide where the products are made and shipped from. The service at this location has been great. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Unlike IKEA, they actually wrap and tie the products for you here.
