Have you ever tried to bargain in showrooms in CP in Delhi? Have you ever bargained in Big Bazaar?
at the outset, I completely empathise with you. without taking an opposing stance on the issue, i'd just like to point out that at the electronics equivalent of bazaar - Croma, Vijay sales, e-zone et al the clearly published (And often advertised) prices, do have some bargaining buffer built into them, try it and see. this is from personal experience where a deal better than a published "one day sale offer" was availed by me.
it's unfortunate but true that the electronics trade has not matured, but (again without commenting on the merits of this specific case) it would be unfair to crucify one dealer for problems that are an industrywide phenomenon. it's unlikely that any of the dealers mentioned in these and other posts have a "one size fits all" pricing.
of course, what was puzzling about this case was that your e-mail was answered by someone in the specialist custom installation department - rather than a regular salesman. I know that if i went to the hospital with a headache, i know i would be surprised if instead of a good ole GP, my first appointment was with a brain surgeon..
