John Lewis - VERY limited TV clearance

foraminafera

Panasonic are changing their TV ranges, and JL have zero stock and ex-display models on a markdown (you need to ask) for a VERY few models.

examples

• TX32LZD80 (zero-stock) - find em if you can
• TH42PZ80B (zero stock - one in-store at High Wycombe as of yesterday evening) £699

I have already checked at Kingston, High Wycombe Watford and Milton Keynes for the TX32LZD80. The TX32LXD85 is IN stock - so no chances of a bargain there. If you come across a Panasonic 37" Plasma or TX37LZD8(any) on a good markdown let me know please.... :-)

Hi,

I found one, but they still wanted full price (which incidentally was more that other retailers) for the display model. How much did you find them for?

The 42" is too big for me so I didn't push - from past experience it's up to the manager within limits, and 20% to 30% is reasonably achievable. The key points when looking at display stock are:

1. None in store
2. None in warehouse
3. None in the delivery pipeline.

I have found some JL staff incredibly helpful looking for these sorts of clearance deals. Key: Be friendly and polite, know your prices and facts, check the model availability FIRST - don't too obviously be looking for the deal. Go for what you can - if it's not worth it you can always walk (politely decline etc.).

Useful to know: "It's available from xxx store at £yyy less - and this is an ex-display model. Can you do anything with the price?"

£699 for the TH42PZ80B with 5 year was not bad - and some room maybe (and always check for Plasma burn in).

whatever you do - dont get one from pixmania - they are the last company people should consider about getting anything from there.

if your lucky the tv may turn up - but if it does you will need to fit a uk plug and if it faulty you have to pay to send it back and then wait like 3 months to get a refund

check the boards the see what i mean

Are you not confusing Freesat with Freeview ?

Looks like it. The 85 has Freeview, the 81 Freesat
