Local Pub does a benefit for Breast Cancer. This year we're raffleing off a big screen TV. Need help finding the best deal i can. Looking for 50'' or better. Best deal i've found is a 51'' Samsung at Amazon for $620. Anyone know of any better deals ?

    I can beat it by $5, on what is probably the same TV:

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2015321&CatId=3654

    Free shipping.

    You do know that, normally when you do a raffle for a charity, you can find a local company to donate the item to be raffled, right?

    RT-12, CS350-LS, PSW-300, Infinity Overture 1, Monoprice RC-65i
    Adcom GFA-545II, GFA-6000, Outlaw Audio 990, Netgear NeoTV
    Denon DCM-460, DMD-1000, Sony BDP-360, Bravia KDL-40Z4100/S
    Monster AVL-300, HTS-2500 MKII

    That's true. Contact some stores in your area and tell them what you are planning to do. I'd bet one or more will offer up a TV for free or at a heavy discount. The rent-to own places are usually the best bet,i.e. Rent-a-Center or Aaron's.They will look at it as inexpensive advertising. Some will actually do it because they believe in your charitable cause.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Same tv. Thanks anyway. We're not officially sanctioned by cancer society for this event, so i never thought of asking for donations. Its just something we do every year to help out.

    You can also strike a deal with the donating store to be a primary sponsor of the event. Good will pub is always high on a marketers list.
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:
