Official Sharp AQUOS LC-80LE632U Owners Thread - Page 37

Personally, I would NOT trust any local store that quoted an item with no tax...Call your state sales tax collections bureau, and...Nah, it ain't worth it.

Well $4200 with no tax is not a bad price. I paid $3999 plus tax which amounts to $4238 from a big electronic retailer. The payment of sales tax is the responsibility of the retailer, and retailers, particulary auto dealers, often talk in terms of "out the door price" which includes tax, title, etc. No body seems to be concerned about the small out of state retailers that do not charge tax! I'm sure the consumer writes another check and mails it to the state which is the requirement here in the great state of Florida.

right

L O L !

Thank you very much!! The 2D 80" has been a big unanswered question since CES and that link finally gives real confirmation they will keep the 632 around probably through summer and then replace with a 645.

The rolled eyes from my wife when she first saw this beast on the wall was to be expected. Last night watching Tangled & Thor having her say she could never see watching TV on a regular sized set again was honestly not. She is finally drinking the Kool Aid.

The biggest surprise that I have had since buying this set, is having people ask if they can have their picture taken with it. It's happend 3 times !!

I actually talk them down to 4000 total price including tax and deliver.. I don't see the difference in buying a tv from a small or big store since there is 1 year manfacturer's warranty either way.

I agree 100%! In fact I would much rather buy from an on line retailer. The online guy knows more about the product, answers all your quesions CORRECTLY, and in most cases will quickly replace the product immediately if there is a problem.
Having said that I bought my 80 inch from HH as they had the best price. One on line guy told me his cost on the unit was $4200, so if he is going to tell that lie I lose all confidence in him. The big retailers tend not to give you the time, know little about the product or even TV in general and want to sell you overpriced accessories and long term warranties, and ,oh yeah, charge you for delivery. I'm amazed that they sell as many units as they do but I am glad they are there, where else can we see the items we are interested in.

BB cost on this is $2800. There is LOTS of room on this set

My sweet spot is 10 feet away from the screen. My set is wall mounted with the lower edge 32 inches up from the floor and it is perfect when you are sitting down in my living room which has an eight foot ceiling. If you have a higher ceiling it could be mounted higher.

A couple of thoughts on this. You can buy power cords with a ground - and a google search can find them for you. But not having a ground hooked up means that the unit is not safe - since any problem will not result in a fault being triggered and could result in parts of the tv being hot that should not be. The other issue is insurance - any problem - fire, injury due to shorting will not be covered by the company as you violated the safety requirements by Sharp. If you are using a power source that does not use grounds then you need to get one that does.

Yet I guarantee they won't budge at all on price. And they wonder why so many people choose to spend their dollars online.

Well my bb did ;-)

the displays do not have a ground & are UL listed .
the IEC outlet socket on the back of the display has NO 3rd ground prong .

Audiguy, the set is shipped with a two prong power cord (IEC C17), similar to a PC cord (IEC C13), but without the third (grounding) connection. My dilemma, is/was, that I cannot find a higher gauge, longer cord with an IEC C17 connection on it so it was suggested I use the IEC C13 cable since the grounding pin isn't used anyway (which is what I did). It's either that or the original power cord with an extension cord...all for two damn feet.

Mine wouldn't move at all. I actually got into a bit of a pissing match with the Magnolia manager. It was more so because of his attitude though...total jerk. Long story short, they lost my business.

I would say mine was likely more the exception. They were doing hh gregg pm. Several are having success online in the sub 4k area

Oh yes, I'm one of them. Mine arrived last week...and it did happen even though I didn't post pictures!

?? BB current cost is 4499.00

2800 is what it costs bb to buy it from sharp. So you can easily see the mark up for a large retailer

sounds like a large markup for any retailer, given that the cheapest ive seen it go for is at least $900 over dealer cost.

You sure? Pretty sure that's how much it cost for them to buy the elite sets.

Wow, $2800 for even the 60" Elite is even harder to believe.

3250 is bb cost for 60 elite

10000 percent. 60 inch elite is 3250 cost

Msp and map at work

So does clearance mean something different? The clearance price is going to end up lower this price by a few hundreds.

BB came down in price for me and for "Suzook" as well.

For those that are not getting good prices for the 80 incher and other items at BB I have no idea what to say,,,,,, my BB's match online prices for me all the time including Amazon's pricing.

Not sure how you can "guarantee" BB wont budge on prices when clearly they do.

Cheers
Davyo

Ditto...my BB budged
