Page 1 of Anyone bought from TVs Direct or Eurogold?

Hi,

Has anyone bought a television from either
http://www.cheapesttv.co.uk - TVs Direct or
http://www.televisionbargainbasement.20m.com - Eurogold

I`m very sceptical. They both claim to sell Grade A sets, but TVs direct sell the Hitachi C36WF830N (the latest 36" set by Hitachi) for £999 and Eurogold sell theirs for £1245 plus £25 for delivery. They both only offer a 90 day parts and labour warranty.

I have spoken to both companies, and they are obviously in direct competition with each other. Eurogold claim that TVs direct sell "refurbished sets", which means the TVs could have been faulty sets originally. They claim they only buy the "cream of the stock" read here
http://www.qxl.com/cgi-bin/qxlhome.cgi/EN/QXL/PR/Q1008711830/_19791532 - this is one of their TV`s being auctioned on QXL.co.uk, where you can read all their claims.

TVs Direct have said they both buy from the same supplier, and that it`s "rubbish" that Eurogold are able to buy specific "top quality sets".

I`m not expecting a brand new set for that price, but I don`t want a set that will break down after a few months, or a set that looks like it has been "trashed" i.e. cosmetically damaged (I can tolerate a few minor marks).

Any advice or experience on these companies most appreciated,also on Grade A sets in generally (if such a term exists!)

Otherwise I may be able to pick up a Panasonic TX36PF10 for £1350 brand new from Comet using my cousin`s 10% discount. Is that a good buy? I already have a DTS Amp and Speaker set-up,and just placed an order for a Pioneer DV 444.

Sorry for the long post!! Shucks, hope it gets read....

Thanks in advance....I reallyhope I hear some positive feedback on TVs direct...very cheap price!

I have, avoid cheapesttv AKA T.V.s DIRECT at all costs. Check out my long report in retailer reviews. Don`t know about Eurogold but i`m not chancing it.
