The no's are 25635966 and 41102323

I thought the difference in PV8 and PV80 is 5k while purchasing.

The quote from Modern World for 60K for the PV80 seems high.

Is it 57K for the PV8 as your post suggests or is it for PV80? As I said earlier we have just started negotiating. Obviously throwing numbers like 6 or 7 without folks turning up would not look good. :-)

Anyone who can go to the Panny Shop in Koramangala can ask for the price. I'll try to go today or tomorrow.

It's 57K for the PV8 and that's before the prices were dropped.
One of the members has mentioned that the prices are now officially revised to 60K for PV80 and 52K for the PV8, this without bargaining.

I suggest you take the price for 1 piece, bargain hard and then we throw in the numbers and speak to the shop manager. My experience with the Pana Brand shop showed that the manager could offer a better price that what the sales guy was offering.

All the best guys. Sorry can't join you. Even Saturday is a working day.

if we are in group let 1 or 2 at the maximum, lead the negotiations otherwise the dealers may not take us seriously.

Can we agree on Csentil and kvenkatt?

kaushik_s · 16th October 2008, 17:43

Guys, when are you planning to go for the negotiation and what time? I may also join in but not able to made up my mind yet. Probably if I go there then I'll be able to decide (that's what happens with me normally, I'm an impulsive buyer;-) )

Hi, What time do you'll want to meet tomorrow?

My personal preference would be to deal with Panasonic and ModernWorld and decide who gives the best deal. No point going to too many showrooms.

Tomorrow afternoon is a good time. Don't want to drive around in the evening when it gets too crowded.

nemo · 17th October 2008, 19:28

I'm ok with anytime after 3pm tommorow -- let me know what time works for everyone

Guys, I happened to stop by Devi's yesterday and found the below prices:
PV8H - 50K
PV80H - 56.5K

Obviously there might be some more discounts based on volumes and readiness to buy.

nemo · 18th October 2008, 09:26

Dash, thanks for that info.

Csenthil and others , i may not be able to meet at MW today there's a family emergency and I'm traveling and will be back only tomorrow.
