Phone (3) Price Drops - Thoughts

salmanrafiq

The nothing phone 3 initially launched for ₹79,999. Within 40 days it was bright down to ₹65,000 and was sold through Sangeeta.

Another 45 days and it’s on sale for ₹47,000 approx on Amazon. Someone who bought it at launch would be really annoyed to know they could’ve just gotten it for 50% cheaper. And I who bought it at ₹65,000 am really annoyed I paid 45% more.

salmanrafiq all nothing products on amazon are either fake or used… Flipkart is only official partner of nothing and cmf products…

Don’t be annoyed… you just save yourself from hassle of service center visits and refunds callls to Amazon…👍🏻

salmanrafiq This is just the way retail works, item will come out and retail at asking price, over time they’ll be seasonal / brand led promotions which bring the price down, and then the price will go up and, down.

You buy a product because it’s worth the value to you, in that moment. I’ve had many phones that have become cheaper overtime but, I don’t lose sleep as that’s the device I wanted and, I bought it at a price I was comfortable with.

salmanrafiq can someone tell me how much the cheapest price is in us dollar and give me the link? Can I buy it if I live in Sweden?

Lol, this again.

That’s a fake Phone (3) on Amazon.in
Everyone who earns their money wants to get the same genuine product for as less money as possible

Anonymous931 how do you know it’s fake? Why would nothing show it to be sold then?

Anonymous931 Well, now even Flipkart.. their official partner is promoting the upcoming sale on their website. They’re going to sell Phone 3 for just ₹35k.

Dropping the price of a product within just 6 months is insane. I bought my Phone 3a Pro 12GB for ₹34,000, and they’ve already slashed that down to ₹29,000 or maybe even less (I just calculated based on the 3a pro - listed at ₹24,999).

Making such drastic price cuts is a terrible decision, in my opinion. Why would anyone buy at launch anymore? Everyone will just wait it out, expecting a steep drop.

I personally feel awful for paying ₹5k extra for my Phone 3a Pro, but I can’t even imagine how those who spent ₹80k on the Phone 3 must feel - now it’s about to be sold for ₹35k. That’s ₹55k gone, just because they bought early. If only they had waited!

Edit: I just read the other threads on community forum. It seems like phone 1 & 2 users will get it for ₹35k and the discounted price is 60k. Still dropping ₹20k (25% off) in 3 months is crazy.

Anonymous931 can you explain more on your context with Fake Nothing phone 3 ? Why you feel it is fake ? How could you conclude it with a fake product when the product is at its peak.

salmanrafiq The Pop Market is a seller, not Nothing. It says clearly “Sold by The Pop Market”:

Check the bezels, especially the bottom one (chin) how large it is, all of them are far thicker than what you get on a genuine Phone (3):

Edit: Just check the feedback for that seller, and you get pages and pages of comments like this. Now why is Amazon still allowing clear scammer to scam people, well that’s a different question…

Anonymous931 what about Sangeeta where I got it from? I hope that’s official. I’ve been facing slowness and heating problems on the phone I was afraid I got ripped off maybe.

It was running 620 EUR near the beginning in Spain.

A bargain is a bargain.

Caveat emptor.

Check the specs of the phone and you will know for sure. If they match what’s official then your phone is legit.

100hzpanic Search it on idealo.de (search engine for German stores), they [stores] pretty much all deliver to Sweden:

trade in a NP1/2

salmanrafiq

hrry I understand that but this went down pretty quick

CMF1_hacker

Around most of Europe, which will ship to Sweden, you’re looking at 699€ with MOMS included.

Due to the exchange rate, this is only £600 now, which is an excellent price.

Last time I was in Göteborg it was 14:1 SEK:GBP and even real estate was cheap.

About 7500:- at the moment.

CMF1_hacker is the deal available til the 25th?

CMF1_hacker

100hzpanic is that still payday in Sweden. Stockholm was always dead on the last weekend before the 25th and it was very easy to get into all the clubs and restaurants.

Then payday weekend and it was bananas.

There’s likely even better deals but I know that Mediamarkt will cover any issues.

I haven’t looked at El Giganten. Sigh. I’d just order from Germany as it’s easy.

100hzpanic

CMF1_hacker

yes payday still 25 here. Yup that sounds just like Sweden. Did you find any hot girls here at the clubs?

Hmm thats still more expensive than the deal now, I guess I will check if the deal is still live the 25th

salmanrafiq

CMF1_hacker around £50 - £100 cheaper here India but I don’t think they ship to Sweden

CMF1_hacker

100hzpanic I had a lot of fun with a lot of ladies in Stockholm and left with a German of all nationalities that I interacted with. Two children now and went with a Swedish name for our son (works well in English and German).

Good times were had all around.

salmanrafiq they’d have to pay 25% MOMS (sales tax) on anything from outside the EEA.
