So here is my situation, I have been waiting and waiting for any dealer on here to do a powerbuy on seats b/c I'm ready to buy mine and got the itch! Even to the point where I was able to get over 50 seat orders from members lined up and none of the dealers I contacted have a bit of interest in offering a powerbuy anytime soon!?!?! I've been trying to search previous powerbuys but I'm not seeing what the prices were? I guess they remove them after one ends? So my question is how much "better" were recent past powerbuys than these prices I have found and could order right now today with no special groups etc? Are The past powerbuys considerably less than the following and it would be worth waiting around on them?

Are of the following are real / true to the brand, not a knockoff of them, and are coming from auth dealers! No black van specials etc

The Showtime like most others. Best price on them I have right now is $949.99 shipped for 3.

Then I have been looking at the Berkline Tangiers/13175. Best price on them I have right now is $1188.99 shipped for 3.

So wait it out b/c when a powerbuy pops up they will be alot better than these? Or just do it, they are good prices? Do anyone of you recall what your powerbuy price you paid for any of the above were?

Thanks any comments and details!

Is that 13175 price with power recline? I know the Showtimes are manual, assuming the Cyrus are too. But the 13175 can be had in power recline (I have a set of 3), with power recline that would be a great 13175 price.

Sorry I forgot about that. All of the prices listed are for manual. Do you remeber how much you picked yours up for? If you dont mind the asking

I got an insane deal, but it did come with a catch. I bought my seats on eBay from a vendor. They were a bit less than $1300 for a set of 3 with power recline (already a great price). Microsoft was running their cashback deal at the time, my purchase was eligible. I got a $200 rebate which arrived in my PayPal account about 2 months later So I paid roughly $1050 shipped when all was said and done.

Now the catch was that the seats arrived with a lot of issues. Of course this was not the fault of the vendor, they came out of the box that way. It took 2 more months of waiting for parts that never arrived before Berkline decided to just replace the set. My new seats are wonderful so in the end it was a stellar deal, but thw whole ordeal was a nerve wracking experience.

My advice is do not assume power buy prices are necessarily cheaper than any other dealer.. I just bought a set of 3 berklines 12003 from Furniture Blue, they gave me a better price than the current "power buy", and for leather not leather bonded... power buy may be often be great deals but I am just saying don't forget to shop around, I did and saved $200

Very true!!! I found this out this week after getting details from the current powerbuy. Service wise and help on questions, he was great. Unfortunately it just seemed that each one I wanted was not available, or the ones that were the shipping rates really canceled out any good pricing on the seats. And I am only one state away, was really baffled by the shipping rates. I also learned to not just trust what the websites say as far as availability on the seats. Actually call and talk to someone! I swear each site that said instock or ready for immediate shipping were far from that! And the ones that didn't say anything about stock or that they were out of stock...they actually had them! Go figure.

So I have learned a lot during my seat shopping. To piggyback off of what you said I was able to get the exact seats I wanted, in the configuration I wanted, did not have to wait 1 or 2 months + shipping time to get them, and they even worked down the price alittle. It ended up being $150 less then the powerbuy for the same setup. I bought them from bostontables.com and they will be here today already!

I had a similar Power Buy experience yesterday with the Berkline 10023 Reno with power composite/vinyl & saved about $200 ordering from Stargate Cinema due mainly to high shipping cost from NJ to WA. Stargate took a 50% deposit with shipping scheduled for end of April :D
