I'm thinking of ordering some speakers, Kef LS50 Wireless, but the problem is that these things cost 2300 USD and Telemart is selling them for 2 lakh which seems too good to be true. I've never ordered from them so any one with any experience buying from these guys?

Also called their help desk and the guy did say they had these in stock. If i do order from them i'll be paying 70k in advanced and paying them (with 16k insurance) the rest at their Main office.

Here's the link to the speakers: https://www.telemart.pk/kef-ls50-wireless-professional-studio-speakers-price-in-pakistan.html

Sounds too good to be true .also doesnot make sense paying anything in advance if the product is in stock with them . It is not like they have to import it if it is already in stock with them . Something seems very fishy to me .

Yeah they won't bring the speakers to their office unless i pay some money in advance first so it's definitely weird, especially if they're instock like you said.

Maybe they're actually out of stock and the helpdesk guy didn't thoroughly check whether these are in stock or not. Also could be old/outdated info and pricing before our rupee fell down the stairs but even then these should cost more!

Also they have the passive (cheaper) LS50 speakers for 90k when they retail for around $1300. Guess telemart is a fraudy retailer.

Telemart is reliable. They might have imported the speakers earlier.

You can also visit Desert Sound to check for prices (contact on FB first to get discount).

Telemart is legit man, their prices beating policy is amazing.. they must have had it imported earlier or sth but i have shopped with them (for smaller items ofcourse) and had no issues at all. God bless.

Naah i checked their site around 6 months ago and they didn't have those speakers in stock. Now they are and are selling for rs200,000 (1227 USD) when they're supposed to be selling for 2200USD. That's a massive difference in price.

Let's say they got these when PKR rate was decent (1usd = 100rs): even then they should cost rs 220,000 without shipping/import costs + profit which should be close to around 300,000rs. I'm no ecommerce expert but that's what i think.

I'm sure their service is great and all, but I don't trust most retailers with Kef speakers. Could be refurbished/used stuff for all I know.

Desert sound Don't have them in stock, not does digital sound. I would look into buying them if they gave me a 1 week time to return these and get a refund but they don't do that.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
