Price updates from Lamington Road (Mumbai)

A friend got these a couple of weeks back and not from Prime as he had always done.

The staff at Prime wasn't very co-operative according to him and mostly replied NA for a lot of things he was looking for, without bothering to call up other sources as they usually do.

Quotes on most items were higher too.

2 of the following -

CPU: Core i7 860 Motherboard: Asus P7P55D Pro 26000.00

Ram: 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz ram (Corsair/Kingston) [strike]2450.00[/strike] under investigation; maybe a typo
2 of the following -

CPU: Q8400 Motherboard: Gigabyte G31M-ES2L 10300
4 of the following -

HDD: WD 320gb sata 1975.00

GFX: palitGTS 250 512MB 6300.00

SMPS: Corsair VX450 3900.00

Cabinet: NZXT Gamma 2100.00

Monitor: BenQ G2220 7800.00

Keyboard and Mouse: Microsoft or Logitech 600.00 650.0
 
@Stormblast
Thank you for those awesome updates!

@Bikey
Thank you for those updates. Is it possible to elaborate on the issues with prime faced by your friend? At times, I too have experienced that they quote ridiculously until you remind them of your previous purchases/announce that you are a TE member.

@Thread
Could someone find out the rates for the following Xeon processors?:-
L3426
X3440

And the following motherboards:-
Gigabyte H57M USB3
Gigabyte P55A-UD3

Many thanks in advance. Much appreciated. :)
 
netgear jgs516 16port gigabit switch = Rs.7,550/-

most of the parts arent in the stock. i have got NA reply from prime n even other dealers. so i dont think its their fault.

quotes are high because prices have overall gone up.

i am not understanding your ram price. please elaborate as that price sounds very low even for a single 2gb 1333 corsair stick.

It is very unfortunate that people have to give some reference for fair quotes.

All must be treated equal imho, whether they arrive by foot or a merc. :|

Simply put- the staff is very uncooperative now- a bit too full of themselves.

Stormy sir- i know you check prices well before you purchase anything but everyone needs to keep a tab on the quotes they get from Prime now.

Past few months, quite a few people have reported to have got fairly lower rates at other shops and got what they wanted.

Not all or even many will go back to Prime saying this is lower at so-and-so place so drop your price and i will buy it- they will just shop elsewhere and be done with it.

The friend in question here has been a Prime regular for many years, known to the staff there and their behaviour wasn't good as per him.

Plus he found most of the stuff elsewhere the same day and at lower prices- so it's not a case of unavailability or prices having gone up or he complaining cause he maybe a cheapskate. :)

The RAM thingie is funny for sure- some typos maybe- let me check with him. :)

BENQ 2420HD 10650 prime but i bargained and took it for 10500 and saphire radeon for 16k :)..

It's Sapphire iirc. And HD5850- who will mention that? :p
 
pricing is always an issue...and it is not just with prime...

it is just simple.. they will offer better pricing to a new customer..and that minimum profit is compensated when the customer becomes a regular...all businesses practice the same strategy..

i always roam around the market and enter prime at the end..just to get an idea about what is market pricing like for that day...if price is offering similar prices then i buy from prime...otherwise i do not mind buying from mccann etc for a change...
 
Went to prime and bought soundmagic pl 11 for Rs.550.
Prime was quoting 13k for a gigabyte 785 ddr2 board . Have the prices shot up?
May be a combo of 965 and board. But the combo could not be that cheap?
 
prime website has got some malware in it and shows up as paladium antivirus. i had to format one of my machine used to visit the site due to this as it just took over everything before my folks could realize. so be carefull

for those who want to buy HD4850 512MB....

It is out of stock on all brands.

there was one open Sapphire HD4850 512MB...it was a used card with all dust etc visible...the card was without original box (checked the serial number on card as well as the box).

The card was available for 5.8k for the same reason with 3yr warranty.

I chose XFX over the same since i would be dodging rashi anyways via prime and the xfx card was hawt.... Graphic Cards - ATI Radeon HD 4000 - ATI Radeon? HD 4850

I think it was around 7.5k last month when i checked.
