Grey Market Prices!

sysfilez · 20-03-2007, 02:50 PM

I always wonder why these grey market prices are so low. Be it CPU, other hardwares, digital cameras or camcorders. last eve i asked for the price of Canon EOS 350D. Billed ones r available @ 42,000/- where as without bill its available at 28,000/-. such a huge difference. Even the online (ebay, indiatimes) prices are low in comparision to billed ones. Why is it that in kolkata we have to pay more for every stuff. Even the genuine dealer are selling at different prices with bill. some at 42,000/ -and some at 47,000/- just imagine, no uniformity at all.

The MRP of Canon EOS 350D is INR 30995.00 (Pulled this number from official Canon India website)

It's available with bill and complete 2-years warranty from Canon India for just 28k if you look at the right places.

What you're getting for 28k has to be original.
