i saw newspaper ads yesterday..

selling samsung UA40D5030 for RM1249..

any comments?

addon:

that ad was a lie.. they published the model as 40D5030, but the actual model was 40D5003..
the price they published was 1249 or 34.69 x 36..

but the actual deal when i went to the store is another story..

first they stated it was a printing error on the press.

The actual deal is 1249 for 40D5003 with the condition of 60 months installment with 2% monthly.. while 40D5030 is 1499 with 60 months installment with 2% interest also..

total up the cost for the TV over the 5 years will be 4k+.. instead of saving 50%, u are actually paying 50% more than the RRP..

clearly it is a tactic to attract customer (including me) with the low price with a small small disclaimer that printing errors may occur and then at the shop they state printing error and tell the customer it is a 60 months installment with 2% interest monthly.. totally ripped off.. even the salesperson admits it is a tactic to attract customers.

just to let u guys noe in case you noticed it too..
