Best place to buy tv's?
 

Hi, where in vancouver can I buy cheap tv's? I want to buy a plasma but all the prices at future shop and best buy are currently to high right now. Anyone know a good place? I've heard of openbox. Any other recommendations?

XS Cargo. Got a 32" Emerson LED TV there for $200, it's a really sweet set.

Right now they have a refurb 42" Panasonic plasma for $329 (PANASONIC | 42" Plasma TV Refurb | TCP42X5KGB | XS Cargo Brand name Close outs- Electronics | TV) or a 50" Sanyo for $499 (SANYO | 50" Plasma TV Refurb | DP50741 | XS Cargo Brand name Close outs- Electronics | TV)

Their flyer shows a 43" Sanyo for $289, too.

Bought my Sony 42" NX711 from openbox about 2 years ago now

TV was retailing for $1299 got mine for 799 and have no complaints what so ever, one of the better TV's I've seen

Open box all the way. I prepayed a plasma for $1199 at future shop Richmond. Open box is right across the street n had same TV for $599. They wouldn't pricematch so I got a refund and went to open box.

Even comes with a one year warranty.

What about Costco?

lol just look up redflagdeals or something.. there's a 50" panasonic plasma for like 500bux on clearance at target or something like that

MemoryExpress and NCIX seems like 2 good places to start ... they both have decent pricematch policy

I don't agree with NCIX but I do with ME.

NCIX will refuse PMs whereas I've never had ME refuse it unless the item was out of stock.

ncix is horrible at PM. ME on the other hand will do it.

Try Visions as they have decent deals and you can bargin :D

Costco because of there return policy and free 2 year warranty on all electronics.

just gotta know who to go to ;)

I haven't had PM refused but then most of my purchases are generally smaller items like components here and there.

OpenBox

Personally I like Visions as you can negotiate with them. OpenBox and Costco etc all have sales but never on high quality highly desirable models... ie you want a Hitachi, sure you can find a deal, but stuff like high end Samsungs very seldom go on sale. However, I was able to negotiate almost 25% off my brand new 2013 TV at Visions.

I just went to openbox today and they have almost no plasmas. The prices seem to be okay though. I have yet to try costco. I went to visions too and there stuff are way to overpriced.

visions u can haggle

The Brick

I don't agree.

I bought my TV in February 2013 and it is a 2013 model 55" Panasonic plasma that was just released, they only had one in stock, they were clearing the 2012s out.

The sticker price for the TV I wanted was $1699 + tax. I ended up paying $1475 + tax including a 7 year, next business day, on-site warranty that if I never make a claim on, I will get the full price of the warranty back from ($279). My receipt reflects $1198 for the TV and $279 for the warranty. The price for the TV was the same everywhere - Future Shop, Visions, London Drugs, etc but good luck getting any of them to move on the price.

As I said earlier in the thread, it's not hard to find a deal on a shitty TV but if you want a Samsung 7000 or 8000 series LED or a Panasonic plasma, good luck. The best TVs seldom go on much of a sale.

i bought my LG 47LM86 for 1100 shipped in feb from newegg.ca . ordered on a sunday evening and recieved it tues morn. it was listed for 1999 at all the other stores like bestbuy and futureshop.

mom and pop shops have great prices if you haggle which they're very open to

If this is the case, you may want to try a small place on Main and 33rd. I forget the name but it's a mom and pop shop.

I was about to check them out the last time I went TV shopping but never had the chance because I got a really good deal elsewhere.

South Van Color TV

Friend bought his massive Samsung LED TV and said nothing but great things

Definitely South Van TV.
They can pretty much bring in any TV model and priced better than the big box stores.

just wait till a guy pulls up in a van telling you he works at a warehouse and they have overstocked tv's and he can offer you the unopened 50" in the van right now for $200 cash!
