hoiboy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 my local rag (newspaper) had the 42PX8A advertised for $1200, less for cash.This was Bing Lee Castle Hill (sydney). Thanks for the links to receipts guys... i'll be using the two $1531 receipts for 50PX80A as bargaining leverage when i go out shopping today at Dick Smith and Myers. I would really like to get the deal with the TomTom GPS at DSE, but somehow i doubt they will drop from their advertised price of $2100. If no one will give me the $1500 price on the 50px80a, then i'll have to go for the 42px8a or 42px80a. BTW - there have been two reports now of being able to get the 42PX8A for $1099 at Myers, but has anyone posted up a copy of the invoice? Do let us know how you go at DSE. Both the ads in-store and the salespeople stated that the GPS is only given with purchases at the ticketed price. would be interested to see if they would go a lot lower if you don't get the GPS.

The Witzl Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) i doubt that DSE will - you are dealing with the mighty Woolworths remember!! I'll give it a shot though, im heading down to Nth Parramatta powerhouse at lunchtime. I like my chances at Myers better than DSE - i rekon the price i save at myers will get me a better GPS and then some Edited August 21, 2008 by The Witzl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfunk Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I want to buy the TH-50PZ800A in the next few days... what's the best price anyone has got in Perth? cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go into Dick Smith Powerhouse and ask them what price they will give you 'without the free GPS and surge protector'. The young lad in there told me they would almost certainly drop the price (from $2998 ticket price). And with 4 years interest free.......

The Witzl Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 well i am shocked! Dick Smith Powerhouse in North Parramatta matched the price of $1531 for the 50PX80A (but without the GPS and surge protector), when i presented the invoice for $1531 posted above. With the GPS and surge protector, they could do it for around $1800. I havent bought it yet - cos i need approval from the financial controller (girlfriend). Once i have delivery and the invoice, i'll post it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Witzl Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 at 2m with standard def.. it would be horrible!! Not only would your eyes constantly be scanning all over the screen to capture all the imagery, but you would be able to easily see the blockiness of the picture. I got the guys in the DSE store to turn the olympics onto the SD channel 7 (not ch.7 HD), and then some other SD digital channels, and at 3m it looked good. Any closer and you started noticing. Im so pumped - cant wait to hook it all up tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a bit soon for me... I'm currently waiting for an air-con guy to come round and tell me what size split system I need and then I was also going to use this as a bargaining chip. But, if the price is REALLY good then I may consider it. Interestingly enough I also have a contact at Rick Hart so it will be good to see what the best price is we can get....... I got one for a mate a few weeks ago at $2700 delivered (no extra warranty) but it appears the price may be dropping. Someone posted after you $2498 or something from Good Guys (dunno what state though). I must say I'm interested to see what DSE Powerhouse can do in Ozzie Park. $2998 with the free GPS and Surge protector and 4 years interest free..... take off the freebies and the price would have to be under $2700. The interest free credit has to be worth a bit !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
