2 for the price of 1: Works for sweaters, why not TVs?
It wasn’t too long ago that flat screen TVs were a novelty, costing thousands of dollars and hung only on the walls of high-income consumers.
How quickly thing change, especially in the world of electronics.
This year, as TV makers confront excess supply and shoppers show a reluctance to splurge on big-ticket items, Costco is selling bundles of two flat screen TVs, pricing two for basically the price of one.
Right now on Costco.com, consumers can buy a 52-inch Sharp LCD TV bundled with a 32-inch Sharp LCD TV for $1,799.99. Or shoppers can get two 42-inch LCD Sharp TVS for $1,499.99.
It appears the same Sharp 52-inch LCD TV is listed for $1,699.99 on bestbuy.com.
