This has become a trademark statement for people to reply whenever their prices are mentioned to be higher than elsewhere
Its available in Delta, Chennai for 6.1K and maybe even 6K now...
i bought TX650 for 6K net and inquired this above quoted price
Its available in Blore retail for almost similar prices
Prices have been increased by "hyped up" Tirupati 
recently. So no more 6k HX 620. If $ prices go up, in India even if there is price cut, 1st thing they do is to increase prices rather than trying to stabilize it.I will never belive that they imported HX 620 now with higher $$ price.What they have is old stock and still gouging up. can't u lame retailer/e-tailers bargain and fight with them or u guys r too naive for that I guess :rofl:
All of the ppl here have supported Tirupati/Corsair so well....now this all the GIFT u ppl get....price gouging on a 2 yr old PSU model by 10-15%..when international pricing on this is almost gng to 100~110$ nw. Way to go Tirupati.net

Please check current details before posting...What date did you buy your 650TX? Are you aware of the increase in the dollar prices... the Dollar has gone up to Rs. 47/$ now... what was it at when you bought your PSU?
The ONLY WAY someone can give you the 620HX at that price now is if that person has OLD STOCK.... which is highly unlikely considering that there was a shortage of this PSU (620HX) for the last 45 days or so.

Spoke to Delta personally 1 hour back... they have said they will "get back soon" ... no reply as yet...

For the last 45 days... there has been almost NO STOCK of 620HX.
What else can I say, at techshop.in, we have always tried to give TE users the best deal... just look at our other past deals. Even if we wanted to price a product higher, would we do it here on TE?
This kind of posting is really disappointing.. :no: :no:
TheTechShopGuy said:
Though I havent bought anything from your shop yet, but I do like the prices that you provide on TE, but dont get hyped man, supra wasnt blaming you, he was blaming Tirupati for the price gouge but maybe you are right, can be possible that its out of hand for even Tirupati. And do keep up the great work man.....

rubbish justification to the price increase
Has the processors/rams/mobo prices have increased in this last 1 month
E8400 have come down from 8K to 7.8K (last week i bought)
800Mhz RAM prices down from 1.8K to 1.6K
my Gigabyte mobo went 300rs less than i checked 3 weeks back
Its just that one or two distri''s grow greedy and jack up the prices blaming dollar prices for it
pcgamer said:
have you thought of counting the number of E8400's which are sold in a month in India and comparing it to the numbers for the HX620? Did you know that processors attract ZERO duty when imported to India? Did you know that processor prices are adjusted almost monthly? Did you know price adjustments made by intel globally reflect in India REALLY REALLY soon?
Processor pricing is a very bad tool for usage in price comparisons. Intel has complete control over processor pricing.. plus its a very high volume market. more like THE primary market for computer stuff. RAM is again a VERY high volume product.
something like a HX620 is a niche product where the prolly manage to sell less than a 100 pieces in a month(i'm guessing htats a huge overestimation). So, any price corrections or dollar pricing corrects are gonna badly affect these products simply because of the quantities involved. and no one can really blame companies for trading with items in Dollars even though they import from SEAsia... coz the Dollar(fortunately or unfortunately) HAS become a pseudo global currency.

Though i do agree that availability has been low and uncertain, HX620 was indeed retailing for 6.2K odd at Lammy, a week or so back. :S
TX650 was 5.9K i think- but frankly, i didn't check thoroughly as not interested in that.
I had insisted on my friend getting the HX but he had to pick up a TX650 as he couldn't find one.
Weird, coz one dealer had confirmed on phone that i will get one.
Dealers here stock what has higher margins, the TX650 appears/is cheaper but mostly has higher margin than an HX620.
I do agree $$ rate is up, but then the retail price had also dropped significantly on Corsair psus, as evident on newegg a week or more back.
So price should remain same if not lower.
If checked in the US, the TX and VX prices had fallen sharply but HX pricing was still holding close to earlier raes.
So with rise in $$ rate, HX price going up on fresh stocks is not unlikely imho. :cool2:
And Comp Dealers in Mumbai invest in the stock market heavily, almost as much or more than their primary businesses.
So any heavy losses (as has been recently), will be recovered from us, period. :rofl:
I hope $$ rates come down in a week or so, once the bail-outs are done with.

@stalker - i am not trying to equate the dollar/rupee indian price difference between a PSU and core comps...
I tried to show the increase in prices of this PSU supposedly due to dollar increase is not for all components.
and I can evaluate it only on the basis of recent prices that i know off, which are the components i bought last week. I have been enquiring the prices are last 1 month week after week and the prices have gone down, if not stayed the same.
And I didn't take Intel alone, i took Gigabyte and Transcend
Normally RAMs are more volatile to price changes, when RAMs prices itself goes down, then i cant see one particular PSU prices increase like this
Maybe its due to stortage/popularity also, demand-supply issues etc
But saying its due to dollar increase by this dealer, i don't buy it
I have nothing against this dealer, i just quoted the price i bought for and alert all prospective buyers to check this price before buying it, so they are not taken for a ride

Wait Sir !!! You are posting like as like you are the CEO of Tirupati !
High Volume or Low Volume ! PPl had got HX 620 for 6000~6100 from Bangalore/Mumbai/Itwares/Phoenix.
New prices being offered almost anywhere is arnd 6.7~6.8k. Now thats a 10-12% rise directly. I am not putting any blame on dealers but what dealers do generally, call up distri, hw much is 620W saar....answer from other end is 4-5 lelo sir...6500 me deta hun
....are bhai 100 rupaya kam karo. Finally deal settled.Thats hw it works I have seen ! Why nt question the distris ???HX 620 prices are gng down internationally by arnd 10-20% in last 1-2 mnths. What abt that.When 9800GT/9600GT/8800GT all prices came down even inspite of $ increase (they r all low volume products) due to international pricing. I dunno whom I should blame here, but both the dealers and distris are a part of a bigger chain. Even biggies like Reliance/Croma sadly souldn't break the jinx of these old distri chains and even they have to import via them.Strong network I must say as its very difficult for a new distri to come up because of these pan-chewing lamers.
VX 450 sells at arnd 60-65$ in US and Indian price is still arnd 3.3k or so! Whereas 520HX is arnd 120$ or so and sells for 6.8k, TX 750 is 100$ and sells for 7.5k. I dunno the volumes are so much apart that makes the prices so high ! When we had the high prices of HD 4870, no dealers here took an initiative to do anything, but finally do to some coercing with AMD India at least , we saw some very good prices on HD 4850/HD 4870. We being just buyers can do that...dealers dnt have the time for that I guess
What I suggest is that tie up soth some other distris as well. What we all r seeing is all and sundry here are with Tirupati only and its you only at the end who is getting slaughtered. There is "TAG" also for Corsair products who being a low profile one provides quite good rates in Mumbai/Pune/Bangalore.Same happened with MSI cards , where low prices were offered by "Acro" rather than Tirupati ! Even new line CM PSU's r good. If all the TE dealers depend on source only, I dunno whats gonna happen :no:

not saying i'm any big shot saar... i just felt that the bashing being handed out to thetechshopguy was uncalled for and went about listing my reasons for the same
. and what am i going to gain from trying to side with tirupati :lol:also.. about the links given by phoenix and thetechshopguy above.. the logic applies to ONLY the HX620.. where the prices are sorta comparable. apply same logic to other supplies and it falls flat on its face. TX750 for 5k odd.. VX450 for 2.5k odd..
I understand , but the only reason i dont like going to other distris is the support they offer to the customers , as i give all i can to make sure my customers are happy , if the back-end cannot support like that , i just can cope up with it. That is the only reason. I learnt this lesson in my small relation with Redington and TAG and Zebronics , some of which you have mentioned above.
Ya ya post where the highest price is . You guys are pathetic....still supporting ur father distry :rofl:
