For the TV buy at Plaza Lama. One of my relatives just bought a Sharp 21 inch for 9,000.

I wouldn't trust it, I can bet a good amount of re-furbs make it on the showroom floor. I remember reading that Plaza Lama was fined for receiving electronics (thru the back-door) with out paying the taxes due.

Why not comparison shop? Try Price Smart, too. Their prices on just about everything are pretty good.
Pirelli tyres 10.5 x 31 15" at 4,200

Also look at La Sirena, Muebles M?ndez on Metropolitana, might have something, And Radiocentro on Estrella Sadhal?, on the left past Honda Renta a Car.

I paid 7,000 at Price Smart 3 weeks ago for a 21", can't remember the brand name , but it's better then the one I bought for 9,000

It's on Estrella Sadhala in Santiago and requires a membership for making purchases.
They often have 3 or 4 models on special, as you enter the store.

Price Smart often has great buys in certain things, like salmon, raisins, barbecued chickens & so on in the food section. Car jacks, tvs, car engine oil, WD30 in the hardware areas. However, one really has to be aware of comparative prices in places like Pola, La Sirena. For security systems, digital cameras, rechargeable batteries & chargers, Radio Shack can't be beat.
