PC Peripherals Will the cost of computer component go up from next month?

[andysmith45]

Don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question but I heard from a dealer that computer cost will go up by 8% from next month. Is this true cost I am upgrading early next month.

 

[Hotstuff]

Are u sure the costs are going up cos im plannig to buy new PC

 

[RiO]

Andy, maybe the dealer blurted that out because he wants you to upgrade this month?

 

[hunt3r]

^^Lol yea i think so as well. Coz theres no specific reason for prices to go up. Even the budget was so long back.

 

[IceFusion]

the budget comes in effect from the next financial year i.e 1st April....so the prices would go up..

 

[Blade_Runner]

Yep there are chances that prices might go up, but with PC parts and the way distys operate here and supply demand prices keep fluctuating.

 

[RiO]

True about the budget, but it's highly unlikely that prices would go up... even if they do, it's not going to be a lot higher.

 

[andysmith45]

If price go up by 8%, then that's quite a lot.

 

[RiO]

Yes that would be heavy, but nothing is certain... don't worry, stick to your plans unless you have the money for it right now

 

[andysmith45]

I have the money but I can get the powersafe 500 watt psu from pune only on 3rd april.

Well my dealer told me prices of optical drives are surely going down from day after.

Any idea of how much % change is expected ?
I'm looking forward to buy a DVD burner this month, but will wait if % change is more than 10%

He told me combo drives would fall by 300 bucks or so and dvd burners would be around the same.

Okay, thanx

PC components have a 12% tax imposed on them.... but whether it will affect prices (which components, on what price etc) is beyond me. Tax men seem to belong to another world.

Now was that tax imposed now or was it always there.... PC's haven't penetrated even 5% of our population and these idiots already wanna jack up prices..

i never check the Budget announced!!
Please check what the FM announced!!

Who knows- the prices might be going down and the dealer wants to con u into buying now than you buying them cheaper later!!

My dealer did that to me!!
Prices crashed in 2-3 weeks!!
But to think of it again, i didn't have that much time left and am glad i bought my pc then!
But the major price drop hurts a lot!! lol...
