Laskys are part of the Comet group and already offer some of the very best prices around (see our right column for comparisons). We’ve seen a few of you mention buying once the price drops below £1,000, and whilst this offer falls short by a couple of quid, its got to be worth a purchase.

Oscar Wilde once said “People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Yes the price is indeed groundbreaking, but while the free Panasonic 5 Year Warranty is still available until 31 July 2008 for instore purchases only at selected Panasonic dealers, surely its worth haggling for a deal isn’t it? Whilst the big national chains offer only local price promises with other high street retailers, you’d be surprised by what some of the smaller chains and independents can do, providing it is not below their cost price.
For example, if you’re fortunate enough to live near an Apollo 2000 store, they will try and beat any deal and it’s part of their advertising philosophy - and they do! And yes, they are a participating dealer in the Panasonic promotion - and no I don’t work for them, but I did order my TH42PZ81B from them!
Even if you pay say £50 more than the Laskys price, the shop deal would be better value in view of the fact that a 5 year warranty on a plasma is typically around £300. On top of that, if your new £1000+ tv arrives damaged, it’s a lot easier to pick up the phone to your local shop and get them to do the organising than it is to follow the on-line returns procedure and wait in for Couriers again who invariably work Monday to Friday and don’t fit in with everyone’s working patterns. All of a sudden that £50 extra is starting to feel like the real bargain!
