Current.com.au recently visited Harrods in London to see how the well-minted shop for their consumer electronics. The venerable Knightsbridge department store has been servicing London's elite for 179 years – and it's not just handbags, wine and cuffinks – the technology department is also impressive.

A lovely sign welcoming visitors to the Harrods Technology Department, where the seating area is reserved "for live demonstration purposes only".

This 103-inch Panasonic plasma is only £84,995 (AU $127,275). If you think that's expensive, check out the 152-inch model:

That's AU $898,462!

This gold plated iPad case is only £2,000 (AU $2,997).

While this Unique Lotus smartphone case is a cool £189,000 (AU $283,000). Here is how the Harrods propaganda department describes it:

"Made of 18-carat rose gold, encrusted with a multitude of rare pink and white diamonds. Inspired by the exotic Water Lotus, this case symbolises strength, progress, purity and prosperity, and its design certainly reflects this. It is adorned with 13 carat black, white and pink diamonds and accented with intricate mother of pearl inlay."
