Good thinking.
The only problem is that plasma TVs tend to be a bit cheaper than LED ones. Make sure you buy a Blu-Ray player and surround sound system too.

I've been doing some research today, on t'internet admitidly, instead of driving around burning fuel and money, so I do deserve a slight talking to about that, but, it was quite productive.
I've come across one at £550 and one at £595. They are the same models, just in different shops.
I've also be listening to some of the advice on here of late, so have come up with a plan.
Debt, is wealth, so I have decided to use credit (but will make up for this by buying a multipack of twiglets and a bottle of lucozade on the way home out of my own actual money which could have been put into savings).
The one at £550 is at 8% credit over 1 year, BUT, I will have to wait 14 days for delivery.
However, the one at £595 is on 7% credit over 3 years, available today.
Therefore, after invaluable research on here I have nearly chosen the £595 one.
The interest credit is cheaper, plus I don't run the risk of any hikes in prices. Plus, I'm not wasting my money on electric running CRT in the 14 days I would have to wait for delivery.
Personally, I think I'm onto a bargain. Saved on the interest, am wealthier because I have debt, and won't be spending extra running the CRT while waiting for the other one to be delivered.
This is why I love the invaluable resources on this website. To think I may have chosen the cheaper TV with the higher credit. Not only would I have less debt (therefore less wealth) but I'd also have saved on the initial price and interest paid.
All I can say is, thankyou to all of you who offered this invaluable advice in paying more. I'll offer you all a twiglet as soon as I have done my bit for the grand old blighty.0 -

If they fall 3.6% per month for 27 months you'll still be paying over 37% of the original value.
Getting close to the 70% club though
Think I went this way, average house price around 166700 & 6000 drop per month
Good job I'm a trucker and not an accountant eh0 -

They don`t do those Tangy ones any more, do they ? I liked those.
BTW. Make sure you buy the Twiglets from the over priced Shell garage, not Adsa. And to keep in with the theme of this thread, can you get me a Red Bull while you`re there, I think they`re 3.6% off this month. Ta.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older.

Especially when Nationwide has the September prices 0.1% UP!
So few houses changing hands. Statistics are meaningless. Probably the Halifax boys had a stern word with all their valuers, telling them to get more cautious.0 -
Mods could you lock down this thread please. It's no longer September so this thread is now null and void.0
