Recently i decided to upgrade my old Nokia Black & white mobile with a spanking new smart phone and began my quest by browsing the best offered deals on the net.
I had zeroed in on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro for my requirements and came across a couple of quotes amongst the usual Flipkart, Infibeam, Sulekha and other Web retailers.
But my attention was drawn to a deal offered on Ebay which had huge difference of more than Rs.5000 compared to the one at FlipKart. Even Sulekha & Infibeam are offering the same product at much lesser price compared to Flipkart.
Here they are,
NEW SONY ERICSSON XPERIA MINI PRO SK17i WHITE "ANDROID 4.0 UPGRADABLE"3G MOBILE | eBay
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com
Xperia Mini Pro Price in India, Buy Xperia Mini Pro, Reviews & Features, Sony-Ericsson Mobiles India - Infibeam.com
Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro - SK17i - White Price in India, Specifications | Sulekha Deals
My doubts are
1. Why so much disparity between Flipkart & Ebay, is it generally the norm for most of the products to be priced more on Flipkart than on Ebay?
2. Is the kind of Ebay deal offered above reliable, since the seller has a power seller rating with 99.8% positive feedback?
3. How about the other sites like Sulekha & Infibeam beating Flipkart with their competitive prices on the same item? Are they reliable?Trustworthy?
I have dealt with Flipkart before and didn't have any problems with timely delivery of items or their conditions.
So please do share experiences if you have come across such a scenario. Can i go for the Ebay deal?
PS:Oops this is embarrassing, I goofed up on the spelling of Disparity in the thread title, Admins please help
