Re: Question for the board - Best Buy 52in Samsung Flat Screen TV (Is this a good dea

Did you end up buying it in December 2008, bro?

I waited to buy a 40" Samsung this spring.

Got the SAMSUNG LN40A650 (w/ touch of color) LCD March 23rd from Best Buy.

- $1699.99 regular price (plus taxes)
- $1199.99 (Door Crasher Week - Monday - one of the big-ticket items - only 8 available at their Western Canadian stores - I got the 2nd one of 2 at that store)
- Bargained the floor person to $1099.99 so that they could get their commission in my purchase of the warranty
- I asked her what the mark-up was on the products ... these tvs were bought wholesale for $1073.99 ... so the mark-up I paid was a mere $26. I was ok with that (and I got her to take off $20 on the V-Tech phones I was also buying - which were on sale at the time too).
