Getting Receiver from Singapore worth?

Tell your friend to check if the dealer has more than one piece available *stocked* right there.

Then open the piece, demo it, confirm it is working and re-pack it else ask for the other piece in stock.

If something decides to malfunction 3 months later than bad luck you incur the cost of shipping to and fro.

I got my nad from SG still going strong

HTH

I didn't get it :sad:

The cost difference is 6K. Worth it if someone is coming from SG anyways ...

Else the airfare will exceed the price. Local dealers have cleverly priced products to make it just a little more affordable to buy from them as compared to flying down and back with the goods.

Somebody commented on the forum that Marantz products do not command the 40+% premium like other products in India. Guess he was wrong.

Do check prices with Dev at BassTreble before you buy from SG.

So is it available in India @ ~21k?

If you bargain you might get it

current diff against quoted price is 6800/- or something. See above

To clarify - the NAD 325 is quoted at 24K people buy it for 21K.

I got mine for 16K with 12% VAT. On tourist visa it would have been 13.5K to 14K.

Hence the estimate of 6K.

this 16k was the price in India??
I am confused what all you have? Marantz/ NAD and what more?

I still need to know the details regarding VAT refund and customs etc.

How much is the price Bass n Treble quoting?

16K was the SG price without VAT refund. I got the NAD 325 for 530SGD and the day it was purchased the SGD was 27 INR. ofcourse I paid my Bro @30 ( 3 rupees tip for the trouble)

without VAT the price was 480SGD.

I picked the Marantz CDP from Dev at BassTreble since I didnt want to burden my Brother with too much luggage. Didnt check the CDP prices in SG as I had yet to decide on one.
