OK guys, just got off the phone with Mr.Rajkumar. He has stock of only one piece of HD555 available now.
As for HD485, it is available against order. The next shipment is expected to arrive this month end and if we can pool in, perhaps we could get the pieces by the month end.
Price - Rs.4,000/-
Taxes (12.5%) - Rs.500/-
Total - Rs.4,500/-
Shipping:
Free Delivery to Delhi / Noida.
Rest of India: approx 400~500 (thru a reputed courier)
He would confirm the order only after receiving advance. Also, the prices he's given us are the best possible prices (as per him) and there is no room for further discount. I was told most of his customers are TV channels who usually place orders in bulk (10~15 Nos.) and the same pricing for them too.
I also checked teh possibility of getting the cans without bills (hehe.. save 500 bucks) but that is NOT an option.
IMO, 4k is a gr8 price for the HD485. But the taxes and shipping make it a li'l on the higher side. We cant do anything about the taxes, but perhaps we could save a li'l with shippinng. We could get the cans delivered to someone in Delhi/Noida (now i wonder who stays in Noida
ppo
who could then ship them to respective ppl thru a reputed courier, albeit at lesser cost
Edit:
