Depends where you are!

In the UK I would search online, here I would probably go to Fournaris and do a deal with them.

NEVER, NEVER pay anywhere near the first price you are given!!!!!

mega electric was ok, fournaris... well, much smaller selection.

Fournaris have good products, good service and always\ready to do a deal.

So if you have already decided to buy from Mega-Electric why are you asking?

Reh Souroul... doesn't matter where you go, what you're buying... when they tell you the price just faint, make as if you've passed out... and then ask them for a chair and a glass of water... and make as if you're unwell when they give you the second price... settle for the third price.

What? These are hard times.

I think you guys don't realise how small the markup is on electrical appliances.

You may spend 600, 700 or 800 oon a fridge say, but the shop only gets about 50 E from that. Any discount is from his pocket.

They still have to make a living.

That is what they make from the final price!

I have run computer systems for electrical retailers, so I know their costs and their overheads, they have plenty of scope for discounting.

Keep an eye out for the four day clearance sale in Nicosia. Usually pops up every couple months. It's basically Mallouppas and Pappacostas clearing out there stock. You can get appliances for half price, but be early.
