In Reply to: Plasma TV posted by MGM on Monday, 10. January 2005 at 06:32 Bali Time:
I had my first wander through the new shopping centre the other day, and spent a long time on the top floor, which is caled Electric City.
It consists of a series of booths that are selling their own brands ie: Sony, Toshiba, etc.
The items on sale ALL have a card on them which shows a price written in large bold figures, and above that, barely noticable in most cases, another number that is a MUCH higher value but is written in smaller numbers.
I bought a regular 29" TV from Makro a few months back and kicked myself for not having waited as I thought I could have bought a huge plasm for a similar price, until I noticed that the plasma's are in fact about AU$10,000.
The large number that you first see is the monthly payment if you purchase it on a 12 month plan. The actual price is the small number that you won't see unless you have a good look.
