6 months ago I was looking round everywhere for a Sony Nex 5n camera. I finally decided on Digital Camera Warehouse, but was told their was delays because of flooding in Asia. So I waited for a month, at which time I decided to buy a tv.
I went to the Sony Center in Melbourne CDB & found out they were selling as low as half price because of new stock & models coming in. I bought their best Surround Sound System & their best 55 inch LED tv for $2,420, when originally the sound system was $799 & tv $3499, A massive saving. I then said I was interested in the Sony Nex 5n camera & they said they could better the price by $100 & discount the lenses even lower than anyone. All up I paid less than $3,500,instead of more than $6K. I also got extras free, a Skype camera($199), 2 HMDI cords for 3D $79 each) & 2 3D Blu Rays discs!
Yes I know they got some great sales that week, but they treated me very well because of it, I recommend them before anyone for Sony gear, getting the camera in faster than anyone also. They also connected me up with their manager of promotions & I have been given entry to events also!
After that wonderful story, recently I went to Prahran Sony Center & was treated very badly, like a fool & given the wrong accessories for my camera. He gave me a plastic cover for my touch screen, instead of a foil for quarter the price.
Moral of the story, if your buying big make sure you get the right salesperson & buy at the right time of year! I also test the sales by walking round looking & ask questions to test their helpfulness.
