The offline retailers have been making quite a fuss about iphone available at heavy discounts , even cheaper than the cost to them from ingram and redington ( official and sole distributors of apple iphone in india ) . So is this the reason why suddenly prices of iphone 5s are now in range of 34k to 42 k across various online websites .whereas they were in range of 30-34 k till yesterday .

P.S. paytm is still showing in banner that iphone is at 29,999/- but when you open it its 34k after cash back .

Please share your views and anything that you might know .

its been happening all day in price comparisons amazon is showing lowest at 33700 but actually price is 36400 on their website when you click link of amazon .
It happened in other 2-3 posts also . i dont know if its an error or desidime is being paid to direct traffic to amazon specifically ?

I think its happening for all products slowly, i have been tracking snapdeal for LED Tv’s, from past 4 days, most of the prices have increased.
I think it could be because of discounts & offers for diwali coming in next week, on the whole for end user seems buying with higher price with huge discuonts virtually…:-{

They cannot boycott margins on apple products are very high. There are lot of consumers who buy offline paying exorbitant prices.

check out the prices now , it is out of stock on paytm , at amazon around 40k , at flipkart and snapdeal at around 37-38 k .!!
Wow , had never seen a mobiles price escalating , and that too by more than 25% , from 30 k to minimum 37 k .

P.S. GUYS DONT BUY FROM FK , as i read their riviews and its showing people received opened boxes with accessories missing and used phones with warranty starting from 40-50 days earlier .
from amazon only order amazon fulfilled or a very good seller . dont know about Snapdeal , though personally i hate the site and the time n quality of some other products that i had gotten delivered from there
