Samsung Galaxy S3 for 24200 on Indiatimes Shopping

[TechHead]

There's a good price there till 12 midnight tonight - 27500 for the phone, less 12% using the "FLASH0905" (without the quotes) code at checkout. Net is 24200 delivered, just ordered one for my dad.
This has a one year manufacturer warranty, i.e. not a grey market piece.

Yeah, but Indiatimes...

 

[TechHead]

I've had decent luck with them in the past.. at least for readily available goods.

Let us know if you really get it. Ideally the next price drop for the S3 should happen in 2 months time.

Is this a good deal? Any problems dealing with indiatimes?

Got the First Flight AWB number, and they say the item is packed and ready to ship. I'd ordered an iPhone 5 for my wife at the same time, it was delivered today. Paid 41k for the black 16GB model with some deal they had going on. No issues.

 

[TechHead]

Got the phone, just as advertised. Very happy with Indiatimes.

Is this cod basis?

 

[TechHead]

No, credit card.

It's already 27K on Flipkart with 16Gb memory card and what not.... Is this the right time to buy Samsung Galaxy S3?

Yes ! To think I paid 37k for it less than a year ago breaks my heart

Same here, bought for 37k in the first week.

Such depreciation in price is shocking Makes me think twice now when going for high end phones.

Agree ..blew off half my salary on that thing and I'm just using it to whatsapp and take pics most of the times
But I'm gonna keep it for 3 years more so the depreciation doesn't affect me much

36 k by me in sep 12 . I use it to watch movies and serials which I download from youtube .

39 K in May 2012.+6K for cracked screen.Will be upgrading in the next cycle hopefully.Only use it to fool around with Next Launcher and keeping up to date with TV series via SeriesGuide nowadays besides being used as a basic phone.

That almost equates to a loss of 41 Rs per day on the phone! Insane depreciation

Tell me about it. Man . Next time I'll buy a mid range phone or a flagship phone to become cheaper before buying .

I kinda learnt that with Samsung with the SII. To make it worse, i developed a severe distaste for them once i realised my SII was the I9100G version.

Got rid of it and never looked at another Samsung again. Needless to say the value on the SII also dropped alarmingly from 32K+ to 22K by the time i sold it off.. was prolly 5/6 mnths into owning it.

I am waiting for a 15% off midnight sale to buy a nexus 4, their site seems to say it is in stock.

Never purchased from them before, how are they?
