Next electronics / Planet M mobiles – Beware of the price tag
I am looking to buy a new Nokia phone and I went doing a price-check of the Nokia E63 in the popular gadget stores in Thane. All of them(Pragon, Mango, Nokia Priority dealer) quoted about Rs.12,000 however the Planet M mobile store quoted around Rs. 13400. That Rs. 1400 or 11.6% above the market rate. When I exclaimed that it was a bit too much, the salesman did some “checking” on their computer and blankly told me “Sir, the price has changed now. New price is 12,200.”. Also it is my experience that for many other gadgets, the price is on the higher side as compared to other stores.
Moral of the post: Be careful with Next Electronics and Planet M mobiles. You may be the “Next” in line to be overcharged.
