Phillips Bodega Sale....
« on: Oct 24, 2008 at 09:42 AM »
a friend posted this in another forum...
just sahring this info.........

For those wanting to get cheap bargains for your favorite electronic gadgets/appliances.


October 25, 2008, 9am – 7pm

A.VENUE MALL, Makati Avenue corner Gen. Luna Street Makati City
Beside the A.venue residences (High Rise condo), use it as a landmark.

Sale on all appliances up to 70% OFF!!
LCD TV’s, HDTV’s, DVD players, Hi-Fi, MP3 players, Components and etc.


NOTES:

1. From experience, its worth being there early since the guards will be giving out sequence numbers to control/limit the people inside the area and will only allow the rest to enter by batch. There is no limit in the number of purchases, so do not be surprised with other consumers carting away 3 or more LCD tv’s. They accept credit cards as well.

2. They normally sell out the following items classified as;

Class A – these have only damaged boxes (outer), but the unit is brand new
Class B – these are the display units, the ones you see in the appliance stores
Class C – these are units which has external damages (i.e. scratches dents and etc.)
Class D – these units are refurbished, meaning the original buyer returned the unit and was replaced by a new on by the appliance store. The damaged part of this unit was replaced.

3. All units have warranties, at least 1 year. Be sure to ask when purchasing.

4. Fastest items to go are the 32 inch LCD TV’s, Class A units go as low as 18,000php. HD DVD players (Class A) usually only costs 2 – 3k only.

Good luck and happy hunting.

last month they had a sale in tiendesitas also.  so there's a big chance that there will also be another one next month.  just keep your eyes peeled in pinoydvd and in newspapers.

i arrived at 8 am (sale starts at 9) and i was already #200.  for those really serious in buying tvs and stuff, be there really early.  they say that the one who got #1 was there 4 am.  by 915, all of the 26 and 32" lcdtvs were GONE.  26" class B were being sold for 15k, class C 12k.  32inch tvs were from 22k to 33k.

Class B are display models, Class C are customer returned units that were completely refurbished but lacking in parts.  B has 6 months warranty, C have 3 months.

for my case I wanted to buy a 22" samsung hahah and I heard that there might be an 18k 32" philips.  so i went.  ended up with a 37" philips FULL HD 1080P class C TV for 35k.  The box only contained the TV, manual, stand and power cable.  There was NO REMOTE CONTROL, but you can buy a new one for 250 (limited stocks, so it really does pay to come early).

Make sure to test everything.  I'm really happy with my purchase but there was a minor speed bump.  The unit I got (37PFL7422) needed some screws to mount it to its stand, and the one i got didn't come with screws.  so i couldn't use it at the moment.  i called up philips and they will be coming to my house monday morning to fix it (if they have the screws) or they'll just wall mount it.

Also for those brave enough to try Class C models.  The box has a printed paper with all the stuff thats supposedly inside the box.  so you know what you're getting.  you'll also be able to see the reason why the tv has been returned in the first place.  most of the issues were panel problem or power problem. i chose power problem since it seemed like its less bad.

Hopefully the tv i got won't break down.  hopefully, but i'm really happy with my purchase.  I wanted a 32" 1080i, ended up with 37" 1080p.

:)

Btw, thanks to XXXyzledge.  i saw his post in pinoydvd thats why i went to the philips sale.

been there also around 12noon, wala ng number na binibigay yung guard.... daming lcd lalo ng yung mga 37 inchers, hhaaaayyy the temptations....... anyway dvd player naman ang pinunta ko kaya i ended up a dvp5986k - warehouse status daw meaning brandnew box/player and a radio/cd player worth 1.5k lang....

yung ibang mga bumili parang magtatayo ng appliance store sa daming ng binili :D

ayos pa din kasi yung 29 inch crt tv na binili ko sa kanila last 2005 kaya ang hirap pang mag explain ;) kung bakit magpapalit pa ng bagong tv ;D

...26" class B were being sold for 15k, class C 12k.  32inch tvs were from 22k to 33k.

Class B are display models...
Class C are customer returned units that were completely refurbished but lacking in parts... 

B has 6 months warranty...
C have 3 months...

... 

Hmmm... Kinda surprised why such a short period for warranty on these Class B & Class C units...

Shelling out 35k for a 37" LCD with 3 months warranty is a bit too short... This is just my opinion... 

Am sure other may disagree...I guess I'm the OC type and would like the full 1 year coverage (minimum) for such big ticket items --- 30k and up...

No offense meant to AGWE... Am sure its a good unit / good model... have fun sir...

cnn i agree bro .. but to some people its long enough to know if the unit will bug down on you in the future .. :D
but for me .. i still prefer 1 year coverage (atleast).  btw di ba our trusted sellers here are selling 37" for 41-43k?

went there too around 9:30am. medyo marami ng tao sa loob pero you can go inside freely. in terms sa tv, personally yun 29" crt at 13.5T lang ang medyo sulit. sa flat panels kasi, konti na lang idagdag mo brand new na makukuha mo, 1 year warranty pa. for those exposed sa prices ng appliance center like ansons, abenson, etc., the prices at the bodega sale would be attractive. but for those na may suking tindahan like sns, tw, sgt, you didn't miss much. there were hi-fi headphones at below 1T, a class C portable dvd player at 1T (di ako nakaabot), a surround bar with sub at below 20T.

ate at burger avenue afterwards... ;D

Yun nga lang hirap padala dyan tsaka nandito yung warranty.

@koykoy.

im really happy with it.  i just bought a preowned popcorn hour and playing 1080p movies in it is just a joy to watch.  when it was paired before with my old cheapo dvd player, it wasn't a pretty sight, but with better hd sources, i couldn't be happier :)

I have already sent 2 sets and no tax since Im OFW.  Unfortunately I have to wait for a while before I can send again otherwise baka mapansin ng customs.
