    Inb4 comments about comments. Also, what's the likelihood of pricejacking before deal goes live? Hoping to get a cheap copy of DKTF

      About the best you'll do is this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/374684

      I personally picked up 2 copies of Elder Scrolls Online from Big W for 7 bucks a pop for the deal, they were worth 6.50 odd to trade in IIRC, so 29+14=43. You ain't gonna get a copy for less than 43 bones.

  • Hunnypooh on 03/05/2018 - 14:36

      More like just disappear, vanish and out of sight. You won't see any traces unless you took screenshot. They never existed according to the stores, then when deal finishes everything suddenly magically appears back like turning back in time

    Looks like the gamesmen jacked up their prices well ahead of time as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PS4-Pro-1TB-Console-Brand-NEW-Au… $618.95 Haha

    • britta on 03/05/2018 - 14:38

      Yeah I saw that. South Park on switch selling for $100….wtf! That's even more expensive than EB…..which is unheard of!

      • justtoreply on 04/05/2018 - 00:41
        +5

        I dunno.. EB have already raised their prices too. Not kidding when I say I saw the majority of games have gone up by at LEAST $20. And because most games are less than $100, this is more than a 20% increase! Having said that, I've never seen SO MANY games priced at $99.95 either.

        You won't find a deal on EB Game's ebay store when this sale starts. Unless its some obscure loot item or hardware peripheral.

          Yeah I had the same thing happen with Wolfenstein 2. Such a joke. Would never buy from them again.

          +7

          Pre-orders are never worth it. Just get it off the shelf when it's released. Think about if you got a backlog before purchasing any new games

          I used have impulsive buying habit due to hype then it's stored away never touched again still shrink wrapped

          Then comes a bargain for the same title and regret my purchase. The cycle repeats

        • King Steuart on 03/05/2018 - 20:43

          @neonlight: Oh I've got a backlog.

        • JediJan on 06/05/2018 - 15:56

          @neonlight: Noted; we have preordered from EB only to find BigW had them much cheaper. EB don’t do price match after the fact. We have actually had Target do a price match before but it seems to depend on who you ask.

          @neonlight: "Kyle, preorder doesn't mean shit. When you preorder a game you're just committing to paying for something some assholes in California haven't even finished working on yet. You know what you get for preordering a game? A big dick in your mouth."

  • bruc3 on 03/05/2018 - 14:40

    This has probably been asked plenty of times before, so to my understanding, the stores don't actually pay any extra for these 20% off, so why the price jacking?

    • aNoPHeLeS on 03/05/2018 - 14:42
      +13

      The stores almost certainly have to front some (but not all) of the discount. Its the sidewide 10% deals that the sellers don't pay extra for

    • jno on 03/05/2018 - 14:42

      I would assume they largen their margin that way

        Wrong, the gamesmen have posted on here before that they make a loss normally because they have to cover most of the discount themselves

        • Blitzfx on 03/05/2018 - 15:28
          +15

          What's the point of doing it then?
          Sounds like a stupid move unless they're not giving you the whole story, which is that it draws in a lot more sales to their main site and/or they make a killing off the other items?

        • chumlee on 03/05/2018 - 16:10
          +3

          Why do they bother participating then? To exploit the unaware customers?

        • Aceboy884 on 03/05/2018 - 16:21
          +9

          if the seller is covering the cost

          Then businesss supporting these deals are pretty dumb

          Why promote eBay when you can do the same discount on your own website/store without paying shitbay

        • crazdewd on 03/05/2018 - 17:22

          Depending on the deal they have with eBay. eBay may cover the full cost of the 20% off for larger retailers when they are newly onboarded to eBay. Subsequently it is normally a 50/50 split ie: eBay covers 10% and the retailer covers another 10%. There are others with lesser cuts. Whilst the retailer gets the sale volume, the customer information is owned by eBay alongside any analytics information from purchasing the product. Some retailers still prefer to have an eBay channel on top of their own website because the eBay demographic is different ie: bargain hunters vs loyal shoppers. There may be some cannibalization but in general it gives retailers some uplift in volume to hit their numbers

        • neonlight on 03/05/2018 - 19:45
          +2

          The point is the non so tech savvy mums and dads just get ripped off buying stuff for their kids. The stores are taking advantage of those people

        • Cletus vandamme on 04/05/2018 - 00:09

          @Blitzfx:

          I'd say they do it as another market. Alot of people search and buy off eBay and 20% off sounds like a good deal. People might not necessarily see their own website at all.

        • Jules_d1 on 04/05/2018 - 06:57
          +2

          @crazdewd: This is how it works.

          I went into The Good Guys to ask if they could match the 20% eBay promotion and the said no because eBay overs half the cost.

        • RocketSwitch on 04/05/2018 - 09:59

          @Aceboy884: Exactly, all they're doing is ruining their reputation.

        I got original ps4 console from JB back when there was a shortage on first release. like every other store was saying about a month on pre-order, JB got me it in a few days.
        Not sure how or why, but seems JB can get consoles (or have stock already) when there is a 'shortage' .
        Got it for like $99 with 12 months PSN card too :) (through some clever trading, bought bargain games on boxing day, then traded) .
        Bought like 20 x these. Apparently the worst game ever "Ride to Hell Retribution" but traded for like $20 on ps3/xbox360 . https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/127808

          @Putnum: Slowly doesn't work. Trade price goes down once they adjust their price for that 1 game. Traded all very quick, multiple stores :)
          I believe that game is a collectors item now, as it was so bad, I guess people smashed disc or threw away.
          Trades are, generally, very bad for the customer, CEX was great, but now they are just as bad as EB, ie. They trade a game for $4, resell for $20 . Poor games stores 😕 They are getting such a bad deal 😂

      3ds game pricing is delusional. The only way I get games is off Gumtree mums clearing out little Johnny's shoebox. No second hand 3ds game should be more than $20, but everyone lists for $30 or more.

        I have a sky3ds but when I fall in love with a game I need a physical copy of it. As well as that, games like Mario Kart 7 and Smash Bros have active, free online matches that don't let you in if you're playing a ROM. It's easily worth the price of a cartridge to get online matches anytime.

          You can only not play online if you're using a flashcard like a Sky3DS or Gateway, which are now completely obselete.

          If you follow the 3ds.guide you'll be able to play ROMS online without any problems, and even download them directly to your 3DS from Nintendo with the Freeshop.

          Nothing stops you from buying games as well, I have a huge physical 3DS games library, and always get collectors editions, but when a 3DS game is under 1GB usually, and a 64GB Micro SD costs $30, it's good for trying out games that would normally be a risky purchase as you don't know if you'd enjoy them.

          If you decide to buy them in the end, it takes literally seconds to use JKSM to copy your digital save to your physical cartridge.

        • NobalaKoba on 04/05/2018 - 11:04

          @tomkun01: Nintendo has NEVER bricked a 3DS for being modded, probably due to a bad experience bricking modded wii consoles in the past, when a lot of legitimate users had their consoles bricked, even some brand new.

          If you have your CFW up to date, you can even reverse any bricks that could potentially happen, and if your CFW isn't up to date, you can still recover your console by using a $5 DSTT as a recovery cart to launch GM9.

          As for anything else that can happen, there was about 2 ban waves in the past, but unlikely to be any more since the 3DS is reaching EOL. I'm a collector and own around 10 3DS consoles (new, original, XL, new XL, new 2DS XL) which are all modded, and have all been modded since before the banwave. None of them were banned from online, and even if they were, I could easily unban myself since the console has CFW.

        • NobalaKoba on 04/05/2018 - 11:07

          @RocketSwitch: Your console ID gets banned as well, usually your NNID isn't banned. You're not meant to be able to change your console ID, but you can change it in a few seconds if you have CFW using GM9, but you need to replace your banned ID with an unbanned one from another console, or found online.

          Chances of being banned are really low though, I have over 10 3DS consoles since I'm a collector that all have CFW and I never had a single one banned in either of the two banwaves, one of the banwaves appears to be due to people playing pokemon online before it even released though, so it's pretty obvious they'd get banned for that.

        • Quantumcat on 09/05/2018 - 14:17

          @neonlight: Only if using a flashcart. If the game is installed, no risk.
