who can get me a deal on a flat screen?
I want a 50" plasma but I hate paying retail prices. I dont want to do anything until after March 1st so I'm missing out on a few good president's day deals, anyone got a hook-up?

I can help you out; I'm a low voltage contractor, which means that I design media rooms, automation systems, lighting control systems, a/v distribution systems, and integrate related items... Actually there is a good deal available on an LG 50 right now. Really needs to take it to PM or better phone conversation though
Several of my distributors will allow drop shipping, so that's not an issue...

I close March 1st so I dont want to buy anything untill after it's set in stone. I'm acutally looking at the Panasonic TH-50PX60U, it's really a matter of I need to mount this sucker on the wall, cuase it's the only place a tv will go, I'm happy with 720p (I have a 32" CRT widescreen), and damned if I don't just want a big *** sucker to impress all my friends, and I'm cheap, I have other junk to buy for the new palce as well, don't need to put all my eggs in one basket.

There are actually amazingly good models from LG, Panasonic, and Pioneer that would come in at $2000-2500. 50s have severly come down in price (map and list). They have not dropped as severely in dealer cost. Margin on the cheap consumer **** you see at bestbuy/circuit city is often only 10%.

FWIW, that same tv which came out at $75k is now at $15k or thereabouts :gay:

maybe its a 60", its definately bigger than any tv ive ever seen for sale anywhere. It might be a 65". When it gets that big it starts getting hard to tell the difference in a few inches. Also things given to employees are at the GM's discretion, not corporate. If they marked it down and sold it then the GM would take a huge loss on the daily numbers, if we keep it then it is still in the inventory and no money has been lost. That just one of the ways they try to look good to the corp office.
