Have you promised yourself a new HD plasma television, HD LCD television or Blu-ray player but you just want the retail prices to drop a little further? Virtually every day there is a news report on the television or in the news papers about bigger and bigger price reductions on the high street. So you assume that the retail price of electronic goods always comes down, year after year becoming cheaper and cheaper. Therefore why shouldnt you wait a little longer?
Prices keep getting cheaper?
When LCD TVs and Plasma Tvs were first launched they cost about 10000.00. Every year they got cheaper and cheaper and now you can buy them for a fraction of the price when launched, with a much higher specification and better picture quality. Well this trend of continuously falling prices is just about to change.
Buy now or pay extra later
The retail price of consumer electronic goods is about to increase due to the deteriorating exchange rate of the pound against major world currencies. The pound has lost about 30% of its value against the Yen, Euro and Dollar in the last 12 months. Most electronic goods such as high definition LCD TVs, HD Plasma Televisions, Blu ray players, AV systems etc are produced in either Eastern Europe so the weakened pound has increased the cost of importing them into the UK. Even those consumer electronic goods that are manufactured in the UK will be affected since the components are imported from outside of the UK.
Because of the economic down turn the majority of top brand manufacturers have tried to absorb this increase in costs and put off increasing the prices. Regrettably they cant put this off any longer and announcements have been made by Panasonic, Sony, Denon, Yamaha and Sennheiserthat prices will increase by up to 32% in January 2009. Once this takes place expect other manufacturers to follow. The prices may increase on current models for a number of manufactures whilst others may well wait until they launch imminent new ranges of products. But be in no doubt prices will rise. Furthermore if the pound weakens even further then prices may have to increase even further in the future.
Therefore if you are looking to purchase the latest Blu-Ray Player, high definition Plasma Television, high definition LCD TV or other consumer electronic product now may be a better time than ever or else you will probably not see prices at the existing levels for some time to come. As a result beat the price increases, buy now, otherwise dont say that you wasn't warned.
