videoman on 15/03/2012 - 18:09 ¶

Why would they make most of their prices $1 more expensive than bigw?
- CHEUJC on 15/03/2012 - 18:10 ¶
  
  i would think they didn't intend to do that as i personally believe big w released its prices after target, causing them to want to beat them! (to me $1 doesn't make that much a difference)
dan76n on 15/03/2012 - 18:30 ¶

    - tonytiger on 15/03/2012 - 18:56 ¶
      
      you just need to be working at a coles related store to get the discount card and the 5% applies to all coles related stores.
      
      the double discounts starts from today through to the end of sunday.
    - konholyoh on 16/03/2012 - 03:42 ¶
      
      Do you have a link to this special offer of 10% off Wesfarmers/Coles Staff discount.

I went to myer and they claim they do price match and told them about the BigW NEw iPad priceing but told that BigW should be in trouble if they sold ipad lower than Apple pricing so in short they will not price match BigW.

Apple normally drops iPad prices by $150 11.5 months after launch.

That's to say:
If you buy tomorrow, you effectively pay $150/11.5=$13.04 premium per month
If you buy 1 month later, you effectively pay $150/10.5=$14.29 premium per month
If you buy 2 month later, you effectively pay $150/9.5=$15.79 premium per month
If you buy 3 month later, you effectively pay $150/8.5=$17.65 premium per month
If you buy 4 month later, you effectively pay $150/7.5=$20.00 premium per month
If you buy 5 month later, you effectively pay $150/6.5=$23.08 premium per month
If you buy 6 month later, you effectively pay $150/5.5=$27.27 premium per month
If you buy 7 month later, you effectively pay $150/4.5=$33.33 premium per month
If you buy 8 month later, you effectively pay $150/3.5=$42.86 premium per month
If you buy 9 month later, you effectively pay $150/2.5=$60.00 premium per month
If you buy 10 month later, you effectively pay $150/1.5=$100.00 premium per month
If you buy 11 month later, you should wait for it to drop $150

  Apple drops the price when a new iPad comes out, which is normally a year. Prices never changed in between except for one day (Black friday).

I'm trying to decide if I should wait for Samsung's next tab or just go for this one soon. I already own a GS2 Android phone and from what I can tell, the tab isn't THAT much different.

And I'd like to try the Ipad… decisions, decisions… (and a lack of cash to follow through with such decisions :P)

TtiGeR on 16/03/2012 - 01:51 ¶

For people with Apple EPP Store access (like large corporate employees, e.g. banks), check the price there. It's actually cheaper on some models, e.g. 32GB Wifi $743.60, 32GB 4G is $773.3 (free shipping), a few dollar cheaper than this deal. Of course, each corporate gets slightly different discount from Apple, but in general, that's the typical discount for iPad.

You may have to wait 3 weeks to receive it though. But you always cancel the EPP Store order before it's shipped, if you do score one from a retailer.

I purchased 16GB White WiFi (MD328X/A) this morning (8:24AM) from JB HiFi World Square (Sydney). I think they opened early today. I asked them to match Target price and showed them the Target offer in their computer (got the link from Ozbargain). The sales manager checked with somebody over mobile phone and agreed. There were not many IPad customers in the shop.
