Hi Guys, here i am with another question :o) How cheap/expensive are the electronics here in Qatar (would be great if someone can compare that with UK). Also are 2nd hand electronics cheaper? because here in UK anything 2nd hand is way cheaper. Also is there any online shopping facility that one can use for their ease? Thanks a lot guys.

Can't comment on LCDs. I have a projector onto my 84" screen on the wall :o)

Phones are not like UK where they are almost free with a line, but other small appliances are cheap enough - No Tax, No VAT :o)

Did you Google it first?

True that ! 2nd hand stuff are always at buyers risk, but what about other electronics like mobile phones, shavers, cooking accessories etc? are they cheap as well? The other day i had a look at the new Sharp 32" LCD HD Ready worth £350, is it almost the same you reckon in Qatar or cheaper?

TVs Videos etc are cheap especially for brands that never make it to UK.

Of course 2nd hand is cheaper, but as ever, buyer bewaare.

Oh, and don't buy from Americans. Their 2nd prices are not far off new!

Online here, not really, unless you buy online from overseas!
