... I think the drama occurs when buying from interstate or an online dealer is when something goes wrong. I don�t think I�d want to get involved in all the drama if the flat panel you just saved a lousy couple of hundred bucks on arrived broken or not functioning correctly.

I live in a costal rural area and I have bought several flat panels. I find the best price possible online then go to the local big-box store and say �beat the price and you have a sale�. After all the obligatory burble & BS that it just isn�t possible they do the deal which is usually 40% to 60% off their ticketed price (they usually have to order it in) They deliver it & set it up. No problems thus far but if there were they�d be taking it back with them. I don�t want to think of the hassle if you courier something from interstate and it is DOA AFTER the courier is long gone.

I think it is extremely wise to purchase large flat-panel TVs locally & have them locally delivered.

Some luxury cars here are DOUBLE the price you lot pay for them :o)

40% to 60% off their ticketed price? - Vic D 08:03:35 08/04/08 (1)
40%-60% off a current or new model? Sweet! What's the name of the big box store down there? Except for Costco I don't shop the big box stores that much I didn't realize they haggle their price. I'm hoping for 20% off with no 8.5% sales tax and free shipping.

BTW, I just got out of the water. Nice glassy shoulder high WNW swell at the Hook in Santa Cruz California.

  .... The chain store I was referring to is Retravision.
  
  They DO have some panels with sale prices listed but most seem to just have a little sticker and barcode with the recommended retail price on it.
  
  Some of the recommended retail prices are way over 100% on top of wholesale.
  
  Retail prices are routinely quoted as tax inclusive.
  
  All electrical retailers will haggle on price even when they say they won�t :o)
  
  There has been some good shore breaks around here lately but I haven�t had a surf for about a month. I still swim in the pool here though :o)
