I always wanted to know the prices of latest computer hardware components in India. The hardware manufacturers wouldn’t put the MRP (including bill and warranty) of their products on their site. If I find it on their site, it would be in USD($). Converting $ into Rs can’t be effective translation of the cost that an end user has to pay as there will be local taxes and import duties etc. I had to look in shopping sites like eBay.in, Sify, Rediff, Indiatimes etc to know the prices which is quite a lot cumbersome.

Tip:
Sometimes, the hardware dealers in your locality might be having some old stock and they would be selling them at higher prices. Always remember the general rule regarding almost all computer related electronic components – The prices always slash down. So do not buy anything in advance – just wait for it. Some months back, I bought a 19″ widescreen TFT for Rs.9k. After about just a month, its price slashed down to Rs. 7.6k. Then I got the feeling that – what if I waited for a month ? I could have saved some bucks

Take the case of flash drives. A couple of years back, I got complimentary pen drive – a 1 GB one. Back then it was Rs. 1500 ! Now its hardly Rs 300 !!! Flash drive rates have slashed too much and some day will lose popularity. I would dream of the day when sellers would yell in footpath – “Dus ka teen”
