Anybody else notice the price increase at these sales.

Was looking at some tv's in some stores and on line while there was some special offers going in December.

Powercity, Sony KDL42W653 ABU €589.95, December, now at January sale €599.00. http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-13-42W653&pages=1&prod=42W653&brands=sony&image=.

Harvey Norman, Sony KDL42W807 €879.00, Dec, now €1.149.00.

I was just wondering did anybody else notice these "small" increase's at these's so called sales.

Most retailers are taking the piss with their "sale" figures these days - jumping up and dropping the prices on a regular basis to conform with the "rules".

ASAI should really get more teeth.

You've just found a great example of Harvey Norman jumping the price back up so they can have another sale shortly when they "reduce" it again - probably back to €879!

Here's a reply I got from HN when I asked them about the price of the tv.

Thank you for your query.

I have checked this with our webteam and the reason for this is that some of the online Big Sale pricing had timed out and automatically reset back to full RRP yesterday.

They are in the process of changing them back but this has to be manually done so can take a few hours.

If you are looking to purchase in store the original Big Sale price is still being advertised in store. If you are looking to purchase online the updates should be done by COB today.



If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me
