Q. I'm curious what you think.
On the one hand, the stores may be desperate to liquidate inventory during a few months in which nothing gets bought.
On the other hand, it seems that most electronics manufacturers simply set a price point and then produce to meet that price point, so prices do not so much go down as provide improved quality.

A. What happens in late January is a mark down of previous year models. In mid-Jan the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) is held and all new models are showcased. A lot of retailers place orders for new product and make a decision to clear out the previous years product making late Jan-March a very good time to get a great deal on an HDTV among other consumer electronics products.
Do you think HDTV prices will start dropping since SUPERBOWLs coming?
Q. Do you think TV prices might drop a little since the SUPERBOWLs coming up soon?
A. Actually, I don't think the superbowl will have any effect on the prices. The slowness of the economy, the disappointing Christmas sales and liquidation of inventory will be the determining factors.
HDTV prices to increase due to Japan Earthquake?
Q. Today at Best Buy a seller told me the prices of HDTV's and electronics in general will increase their regular prices. I highly doubt it. What do you think?
A. Due to the earthquake in Japan, maybe a little. The components come from all over and alot of the assembly is done in counties outside of Japan.
Due to inflation because the current administration is mishandling the economy - yes indeed! Ben Bernanke printed a lot more money for the bailouts and "stimulus". That will eventually cause inflation because it devalues the money supply. The only way to get that extra money out of circulation is higher interest rates. Either way, prices are going up.
