HX 620 prices hiked by Corsair :-O......
First of all m8 , i think you can carry this thread out in a more polite manner. Please try and look into that.
It boils down to the same thing. US-Indian pricing.I know it is unreasonable to have such a huge difference ,but Nothing can be done mate until there is this customs duty system , and the long chain of Distris-SubDistris-Retailers. And its not like we have'nt done a thing here as u have been ranting on. Its very easy to put in one point of view without knowing the other side.

there wont be such an issue if you could let us know about what you ppl are doing about it.
whatever it is that you ppl might have done/tried to do doesnt seem to have had muhc of an effect.
Just blaming the distry-subdistry-retailer is gonna take you nowhere. more than us end users it should be YOU retailers that should take up this issue with the companies directly. you of all ppl should be knowing how business is affected by price changes.. that too in such a price conscious market as india
We are the buyers here and u guys r sellers ! And you are telling we should be polite ! I guess customer can't be the KING in India ! And You want to show respect to the ditris eh ? What have they done (favours?) for us to command that.
Any tourneys? Any big deal? Any discount? Any MIR ? Anything just show me.
I dont what else to say. Its nt always abt pricing. But it will be blamed on $. Our economy needs a serious correction like US. No one buys products....prices will nosedive automatically
LOL it is nt....will reply to ur PM now

I think this was a discussion , not a blame thread , so was asking if we can do that.
As i had said , i know the structure is bad. I know the prices should be lower. But there is a limit to what one guy can do.
This is what we are told : To get the better prices , we need numbers. Do we see the numbers i India ?
Just an Eg. Tirupati had brought Thermalright here , but they got only a single stock , which lasted them for more than 4-5 months. This is the status here.
As for the Unlimited profit part , u need to be doing this business to know what our margins are.

^^ Even that is the mistake of the distris and dealers bro, how many people who buy everyday really know there is a G31 mobo available for 3.1k when they are paying 3.5k for a p945 mobo?
just stand in any shop in Richie street and u would see literally 10's of 945 chipsets going daily, and whose mistake is that?
The retailers keep the people in the dark cuz of their ignorance and old stock. out of 10,000 PC bought per day say 500 of them would only have been as per the customer wants, the remaining is what the seller "Thinks" the customer wants.
If u want volume u cant blame us for being lame could u? cuz its the dealer that keep us so.
only the communites like TE and E are really the places where people come to know what is what, and in ritchie stree the price is 6.3k for 620HX as i got one for my bro yesterday.

I wont disagree with that. I was just talking to Bikey yesterday about the same thing mate. But u cant blame even us retailers for what the guys on ritchie street are doing right ? And yes , i also agree that the HX620 might be 6300 in some places , if i had stocked on the same when the prices were lower , i might be giving it out at the same price too. But i personally don't have the capability to do that , as most of the guys who know me can agree with.

I guess the dealers on TE are getting flak for implementing the price hikes before they have started reflecting everywhere else since other ppl are still having old stocks.
And the thread has anyway gone wayyyyy off topic to US Vs India pricing and distri profits which we are all aware of anyway
Very well said Supra 
Phoenix, the blame game as u call it was started by Mr.Techshopguy putting some many bold red statements with beautiful smileys, which was uncalled for
Better prices elsewhere will be posted by members, this is a forum & not his personal website
posting Newegg links to validate this increase is like trying to deviate from the context, Next week if Newegg makes it 120$, will we see HX 620 sold for 5K in India...thats not going to happen.
If same analogy is applied, 99$ TX650 should sell at 4.5K, does it happen, No

I was not talking about that , i was only talking about the posts Supra made after i had posted. The same things can be said in a better way. I am always be a techy before being a dealer , and that is how i stay on TE. SO i had expected a response fit to a person like that.
And the pricing posted about the HX620- by me was just to point out that Supras statement that it is 110$ in the US is wrong. But i agree to the price point view u guys share on the other products. But as i said , there is only little a single man can do right ?

But see import date on the sticker and u will find its Aug 08 or mat be even before that ! Point it when everyone is making a cut why will any dealer leave it
What we guys can take out of this discussion is writing to Corsair Guys directly and see if something happens. I will try findout the email id of the Corsair India head and post it here
If sales are down with the pricings, I suppose a correction will be made. Why get all riled up with each other here?
techie_007 here is offering to start a GO for some old stock. A nice outcome of this discussion. Positive action without any flame baiting .
Edit:^^another positive action@Supra :cool2:

That is EXACTLY what we are trying to do at TechShop.in, where the consumer has all thats available in front of him/her with full specifications and transparent warranty information.
Trouble is, looks like some people here actually want/think that retailers should make a loss.
Bottom line, the IT Hardware industry has wafer thin margins, worldwide. For any Distributor/Retailer to survive, at least the business model needs to cover overheads!!!
The problem is that people go by their past experiences with typical dealers on Lamington Road, Ritchie Street, who will quote the lowest possible price on available products OR will say "aap price bataieen, hum match karke denge" and on rarer products will quote even MRP's.
That is not the model we follow at TechShop.in. We TRY and keep consistent margins on all products, but finally we are also driven by the market!!
Finally, all I want to say is that our price on the 620HX is based on our BUY PRICE for the product, and that we have tried to give the BEST POSSIBLE DEAL to TE Users.
