Confusing prices for y510p & z510 lenovo lappys @local stores in Lamington Road, Mumbai

Today, went to Lamington Road the hub of laptop & desktop market in Mumbai.
Had shortlisted on following 3 laptop models after going through expert reviews at this forum:
Lenovo ideapad
y510p - core i5(59-389687)
Y510p- core i7 (59-390016)
Z510- core i7 (59-398016)
Received various insane & fluctuating quotes some of which are mentioned below:-
For y510p - i5 model-
1) 49000 + hp printer model 1515 free but if free printer not required then discounted price would be 43500.
2)45000
3) 52000 + free accessories & 16 gb pen drive which if not required then discounted price rs.50500.
4) 38000
5) 53750
6) 51000
7) 56000

For y510p -i7 model-
1)61000 + hp printer model 1515 free but if free printer not required then discounted price would be Rs. 56500.
2)59000
3)67500
4) 68000
5) 69750
6) 72000

For Z510-i7 model-
1) 44750
2) 44800
3)56750 + wireless hp printer free but if not required then discounted price Rs. 46750.
4) 51500+ accessories & 16gb pen drive but if not required then discounted price rs.50000.
5) 51000
6) 52000
7) 54000
8)56500
9) 57000
10) 57500
Is it possible that few of these stores could be selling an already used or opened n modified product specifications?
One thing that truly exists is that there's extreme n stiff competition among these stores as they r located closely next to each other.
But even that isn't a reason enough to justify such deviations in prices.
Is there anything I can do to find out if the laptop is already used one and warranty is already registered b4 my purchase?
Each store assured me that laptop would be box packed & with standard 1yr lenovo warranty.
I usually bring desktop hardware components from this area but would be purchasing a lappy for the 1st time from here.
Pls. Guys need ur expert opinions in this scenario?

WTF.
Lenovo Y510p core i7 at 59k is a steal. Just make sure you inspect the model carefully before buying.

Hahaha! I use flipkart only as a guide to set myself the criteria that the maximum amount payable for any product I purchase shouldn't exceed this!
In simple terms flipkart=maximum price payable for a product + uncertainty about quality n surety (at least for us in mumbai, for rest of india maximum implies minimum in this case)

Hey, did you find out if those prices are genuine? I'm planning to get the i5 version within the next few days. Flipkart actually seems to be the cheapest.

y510p i7 at 56.5k ?
Something's fishy. Check the device thoroughly before making any payment.
And yeah, among the short listed ones, go for y510p i7. :p
