I am very impressed with the Sony 32” Full HD LCD TV. To win one would be a dream come true.
My son & daughter-in-law are barely scraping by as they have 2 children & my son has recently lost his job & finding it hard to find another. To add to this, their television recently blew up & they have been lent a 14"" one. Winning the Sony 32"" full HD LCD TV would brighten their days of gloom & also mine. Many thanks for entering my name in your competition....
I have one of these in the living room, and this would look great in the other room.
We have an old TV and it is not possible for us to buy a new one as we are on a very low paying benefit. As we all know prices of everything is going up and up and up!. We find the HARDUPNESS SYNDROME! very tough,like most others, and even the folks on wages are also finding it very hard.To win the lovely Sony 32" would be very much appreciated, and thank you so much for at least giving us the chance to be in the draw.cheers! from MANTIS.
In our old age it would be great to have a decent picture to view our favourite programmes and DVDs. Our present TV has the old age problem too.
No hardship problems but would love to win one anyway. Would donate my old one to someone less fortunate.
Would love to win Ive brought sony all my life and I can say one thing it lasts my stereo is 13 yrs old and is still going strong
It would be great to win,we have an old tv and with the change coming up it would be wonderful to have
Long may this New Zealand family business survive.
Going digital soon so new T.V would be wonderful
Great competition thanks alot!!
i used to get info from l.v.martin but lost touch.am pleased to be able to get your catalogue again.it would be such a thrill to win the t.v.
I always enjoyed looking at L.V.Martins catalogue but it seem to disappear, however it's back again apparently...Good ! AND I would love to have that Prize of the Sony T.V. as our one is a least 20 years old and still going strong.
It was great to see that LV Martin still exists. I used to get your catalouge but haven't seen them in years so I assumed you didn't exist anymore. One could always depend on getting a good bargain from you. Cheers
i would dearly love to win one of these as from next year my tele I am told will not work and being an invalid I just can not afford to buy a new one on my pension
Have purchased from LV Martin continuously over the years, very reliable and back up their comments and promises. A new tv would be fabulous with all the great programs that are on now. Keep up the good work.
Need this, would be nice to throw out the old one!!! thanks for the chance.
This would be great, our tv is so HEAVY!
It would definately be a blessing to WIN this 32"....we've still got the old style TV's so this would be the ultimate upgrade!!
I would love to win this beautiful TV :) I never won anything so would be nice to have my luck this time :) Thank You
At least with my eyesight I would be able to see the picture
What a great prize
I've never had a LCD television before would be awesome if I won it.
Wow what a prize to win. Fingers crossed because we only have a borrowed tube tele, but if I don't win it I really hope it goes to someone who needs it. Good luck everyone.
What a lovely prize to win, my TV flickers so much sometimes to the
point we are constantly changing channels. Can't personally fix it so
we just make do with what we have. Good luck to everyone.
I too am pleased to know that L.V. Martin. is still with us, remembering their magazines of years ago. Enjoy watching them in the stores. Must make room! Biggs
I recall the LV Martin advertisements really well. It is reassuring to know that local, family businesses still offer service as an alternative to the profit driven transnational corporations.
LCD TVs are the best. Sony a really good make too
Would simply love to win this TV, as it would update our current one hugely. Ours is as old as the hills and getting quite temperamental, it would be bliss to win a gorgeous new one. Fingers crossed.
I have always tried to keep up with new technology but find it impossible since a few years back when prices went ski hi and the $ less. I would be very happy to win this TV. I would also donate my old TV to someone who needs it. Keep up your fantastic work and thank you.
Wow! the cleaverness of this wonderful Sony LCD TV sounds amazing!, I would dearly love it in my living room, i can imagine it sitting there in the corner just a perfect fit for it. Technology has come such a long way, and it is not always easy for us to keep up with it on our very low income. The saying is:YOU MUST BE IN TO WIN!, and may a well deserved person be that winner, GOOD LUCK to all that have entered this fabulous competition. Cheers! Mantis.
This would be a dream come true if I can win it for my kids as I have been thinking about replacing our old one in time for the changeover to digital but it's really hard when you're a solo mum. I am a former Wellingtonian and use to love shopping at L.V. Martin. It's good to hear that they are still going strong. Good luck to everyone in the competition.
The one and only big old tele, the movers always complain, is due to pass on. A new one is overdue and what a way with L.V. Martin's generosity!
My tv is borrowed and dying so to win a new one would be bliss!
We have always had Sony TV's and wouldn't look at any other brand. To win this would be a real bonus.
I hope I am the lucky one
Dreams a free.
There are sp many deserving recipients as noted above and so if we were to win it we'd find it hard to work out who to pass it on to. Best of luck to some deserving winner.
To have a new TV would be wonderful ,my was smashed in feb Good Luck To All
Fingers crossed!
This would be a real treat for our family.
This would really change our luck to win this! So much doom & gloom around. Thank you for the opporuntity !
LV Martin have been around for years. I remember Dad on the TV then son and they are someone I would always trust. A new TV for me would be nice but I would give it to Mum as she has been sick and now watches a lot of TV as she can't go out like she used to.
Oh it would be great to win this Sony T V to view digital TV when the change comes. I'm not in a position to buy a new one so here's hoping!!
what a great prize would love to win am ever hopeful!!
At my time in life a decent T V would be top of my list!!
It would be really great towin this 32" T.V. I live on my own and with the earthquakes and now the snow it has been quite a year down here. All the best to all those other people who have entered this competition.
Wow to be able to watch T.V without any interferance would be a bonus for us.
to win this tv would be something i could call my own!!
What a great Company this Family Company is. They've been around awhile and still have the same good customer seervice. It would be great to win the TV for a bedroom lie in.
I knew Leo very well when you started in Courtney Place, Wellington I will never forget what he did for us. We fostered an enormous amount of children and had had unfortunate bad luck with a fridge. Mr L.V. Martin gave us a new one and it was delivered at night in the pouring rain. That just would not happen today. His service was supreme and his motto "we'll put it right" was true to his word. He was a true advocate of the consumer and understood peoples needs.
Good Luck,
Glynis
what a gift the sony 32'' tv would be.......awesome.
Yes please.... :)
My sister has my mum's old tv which is 15 years old+ and comes on and off at will so, I would donate this to her against my children's advice.
She is huddled over a 14" tv and then just doesn't bother to watch it.
a new t v would be great as we are one of those that need to upgrade to get the digital tv and we have had to update other things like cellphones and computer in the last 12 months so it would be fantastic to win a tv.
What an opportunity-thanks for your generosity L.V. Martins. Great to hear that you are operating still and long may you continue! When I started my working life 47 years ago the company I worked for dealt with Martins, and we all benefited. Thanks heaps!
would luv 2 win
If I won the lovely T.V. I would give it to my daughter in CHCH who lost hers in Februay among other things.Thanks for the chance
I would love to win a TV for our bedroom. In Feburary our last child will leave the nest. This would mean that we can change the rules that have always been no TV in bedrooms. We used to love watchinf LV Martin on the adds last century. But wait theres more
Would be nice to have a TV with Freeview build in. :D
