Alghanim Electronics selling not for sale items

A reader sent me the following pictures which he took with his phone while visiting an Alghanim Electronics showroom. It seems they are selling HP supplies which are not meant for resale. If it was a small shop in Hawalli I would expect this.. but they’re not a small shop in Hawalli.

The question is whether these free samples were removed from HP printers that Alghanim sells or not!

It’s a fake! the whole thing is sealed with this free stuff, I think this was attached to a printer

If they are selling it cheaper than usual, then its fine. If I had a hundred printers in stock that no one would buy and newer models came along, I would have done the same to get as much out of my purchase as I can. But sure I would have sold them cheaper than the norm.

I had a bad experience with Alghanim as well, when i went to purchase my HP i took home a very well wraped box which contained my NEW laptop. when i unwrapped the laptop and turned it on i found that its name is Kareem Abdul Mohsin!! The laptop was already logged in, used and named!! I went to them and claimed NEW one with no name because this is what i paied for. SO BE CAREFULL PEOPLE.

I went there to buy a ps3, and they told me there is an offer ps3 + 4 games for 180kd. I didn’t want any of those games (crappy collection) so I asked for only a console the seller said “no we won’t sell console without game, tell me now you want this or not..” at the point I simply walked away without a reply, which I guess was a rude response he totally deserved it.
