Samsung plasma "shocker of a price"!!!!

[vardu]

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

In Chennai - only 1 shop had it in stock and only three volunteered to procure it within a week.

The price ranged between 87 to 96.5

What is the price of the C550 plasma in Delhi?

If you could provide the name/contact for a shop in Delhi , I wouldn't mind bargaining the C6500 a bit more to see if I can bring it down further.

i think the panel lottery applies to their LCDs and not their plasmas

What you said is True!

Anywhere in Delhi (or better still in Gurgaon) for a similar price, I'll pick one for myself. Let me know if you know of a place selling for such price.

Guptam: JD electronics will deliver in Delhi and Gurgaon also. They have warehouse there.

@Vardu: Are you buying it? Would love see the TV at home condition.

Am certainly interested in it but hesitate to buy a product unseen.

I glanced at the 58" in the anna nagar showroom a month back and that piece has been sold and the C6500 is not in display(or stock) anywhere else in the city.

I am still a bit wary about the buzz issue - a problem common in the pre july '10 models and wonder if the entire set with JD belongs to that batch ( BTW they didn't know about the model production date/buzz issue- at least in kilpauk)

Due to the lack of feedback from the owners ( a very small group in itself), I would be happier if I could see and judge it in person before opening the wallet.

I was shocked to find that no dealer in the city (big to small) is eager to sell a samsung plasma of this size and seem to want to push me towards LED lit LCD models.

If this doesn't work out - my other option is the Panasonic P42V20.

Thanks Shredder: Have passed the details to my friend. Can you also check if they can offer the Samsung model at a lower price? It will help these guys.

Vardu: I am still waiting to hear from you on if you are buying. You were so interested and wanted to buy ASAP if the price was real. But after confirmation no news

 

[anm]

but this x20 isn't a full hd set, correct?

 

[madbullram]

@madbullram : it is wierd -My post submission page displayed that it had to be cleared by a moderator ( I had just hit quote and typed it in as usual)

My first reply today was to you and the next to the poster who mentioned the 42" panasonic.

Let me paste it from cached history

ETA: I am deleting the pasted portion since it is there in the previous page! - This is truly wierd - I didn't see my reply in the previous page either before!

@madbullram

I just realized that I had only posted about my concerns and forgotten to post my talk with Vaibhav which led to that.

I called Vaibhav on Sunday and spoke with him regarding the deal and he confirmed the same information about the hyderabad store having extra stock, unable to push through during deepavali etc...

He said that the invoice would be generated in Hyderabad and that it would be shipped here by courier.

At that point I was going to go ahead with buying on Thursday

I wanted to see the set in person to get a final feel for the purchase and to pay more attention to any features/issues.

JD didn't have an open set and I remembered seeing one in Anna Nagar Samsung showroom - and as luck would have it -it was sold and they are expecting quantities only on 30thNov - 2 Dec.

The main reason for hesitation is that the pre july 2010 models had a buzz associated with it and I couldn't know if the newer models had it or if this particular bunch of TVs were from that batch.

No one - I mean - NO One else in Chennai (including samsung showrooms and big chains) has a display set and I don't know anyone in chennai who owns one.

I am planning to ask Vaibhav if he could help me with this ( any customer who has bought this before and could let me know about the buzz)

In spite of all the research and eagerness for this model (especially at this price) , if I am unable to actually view the set before bringing it home, I might have to go with an alternate solution of the 42" Panasonic V20 (which was my previous choice before this price break).

 

[madbullram]

I dont think anyone in Chennai has it. in fact that why I was interested to see if you bought so can have a first hand look. Viabhav told me someone from Gurgaon bought it though

 

[madbullram]

Ram, What about this model price in JD Electronics ?

He said 39K, i didnt negotiate or had any price details at hand. I think it can be negotiated more but I doubt he will match the 33k priceeee...thats a steal!

hi ram,

the x20 dealer is an institutional dealer of Panasonic, so no samsung with him. we negotiated with him for a bulk deal and now around 10 members have bought from him at 32.5k.

for best deal on samsung he can contact samsung plaza, patel nagar. Mr. kumar(9718111327). give him some gyan abt price research and negotiate hard.
