[sandeepgarg]

Guys!!

Any idea how it is comparable to the similar Panasonic or LG models, both in price as well as quality??

Thanks.

Hey Vardu,

Welcome to HFV. Good to hear that you did your bit of HW.

Let us wait to hear from our moderator who knows Vaibhav personally.

Guys,

Why it's a shocker? During the Diwali time, I negotiated the price with Adishwar ( Bangalore ) to 72k. E-zone offered me same model for 80k with a a small LCD TV ( 14k worth ) & an E-zone employee immediately offered 10k for that small LCD .

Regards,
Manoj

wow, this is quite liberating... many of us bargain with a goal of 20-25% discount..
you proves only sky is the limit..:licklips:

I quite agree that prices are all subject to Negotiation (and sometimes Desperation ) Skills -but the reason for my skepticism is because

1- The average sales of this model so far is maximum ,if that,5 per month/store (Chennai numbers- info from about 20 stores around here) and the Hyderabad store has a stock of 20+.

I know it is deepavali but kinda seems very optimistic on the store's part

2 - The hyderabad stores seemed unaware of the price being offered by their own store

Could be a high level decision by the owner/son - but I stayed on the line till I spoke to the store in charge and he was still not going below 93 or so.

3 - I offered to pay (@ Hyderabad OR Chennai) in cash for the same price ( leave alone the ebay %, paisapay credit card %, etc...) and was told to only purchase it online

I truly can't reason this one out.

4 - I was quite sincere and insistent about this offer and I was going to buy another smaller 26/32 for my bedroom as well - I left my number with them for Mr Vaibhav to call me -but am yet to hear from them. (Usually when you promise to buy 2 TVs for around 1L , folks respond asap).


I am merely looking for someone to shoot holes through my theories and prove me wrong so that I can buy it NOW and enjoy watching it by next weekend - so please feel free to decimate my logic and arguments :lol:

Sure, will talk to Vaibhav about it and post it tomorrow morning. I dont think shipping charges would be there as they will send it from different warehouse in cities and not from a central place. Anyway, I will check on that. If it works for Chennai it should for HYD folks also as their HO is in HYD.

Madbullram, let us know. I would be interested if we can get the price down further for a local group buy in Chennai.

Possible for you to also check if they have a special offer for the 58 inch ?

 

[anm]

are there different panels in this model? panel lottery?

 

[madbullram]

Okay all you , I spoke to Vaibhav, here is the deal for HiFiVisioners

50 inches - 50c6500 - 67500 on cash/chq & 69000 for credit card

ebay price is 72990 so its around 5490 rs less

1. Delivery free in blr, chn, vizag, & hyd, gurgaon and delhi
2. Vizag and Blr members have to pay via cheq or bnk transfer as they dont have showroom there but they will deliver in these places (i think they have shared warehouse space there)
3. This is only for HFV Members pls do not quyote ebay etc for this
4. This is only available if you call Vaibhav directly and mention HFV member. Dont call their shop or anything, no one will know about it
5. Call Vaibhav btw 10 to 6 pm at 0-9840480822 (chn mobile)
6. Price is same if you buy 1 or 5 TVs as this is their best price. However, if you are buying 5 or above you can try negotiating with him. I tried and he didnt respond very positive.

NOTE: As always, I do this purely for HFV and I in no way benefit from this. Even last year when Vaibhav offered some discounts to me, have told him clearly give best services for my forum guys that the best discount you can do for me.

Appears to be a fabulous deal. All those who are looking for a BIIG TV, hurry guys.

Welcome to HFV. I think I have answered your Qs in the post. They have ready stocks and I guess you can even get this in next 2-3 days. You can also talk to Vaibhav about the small TV. I encourage you to post your experience post buying.

CHecked 58, they dont have stock, sorry mate.

 

[hemantwaghe]

Mbr thanks for this fabulous negociations.

Hope us mumbai guys too get something in future!

 

[Kittu]

I paid 68 for 50c550 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....


Good luck people grab this before the stocks are over... :clapping:

 

[tech_king_1]

kittu,
is the tv already delivered to you. Can u mail me more details as to how u purchased it ?

 

[jtde]

I am interested.
Any reviews available online?.
Does anyone knows how it compares with the Panasonic V20 ?

 

[Kittu]

kittu,

no no you mis read it . I bought a lil low end model for the same price but you are getting a highend one... here

 

[krinamob]

Wow
this is seriously a tempting offer... :clapping:

 

[anm]

can someone clarify on panel lottery thing? I read in some threads that samsung TV can have different type of panels and that is more of luck. Is that true for this model as well? How to ensure the same with the dealer?

 

[psychotropic]

i think the panel lottery applies to their LCDs and not their plasmas, but i could be wrong.

 

[argho]

Tks Madbull. Thats a great price.

Now "only" need to convince the wife.

 

[aminder]

please check about this model's price with your local dealers because its avaliable in delhi at approx the same price
