  not applied on sale price….So 20% off RRP …
  Their RRP is higher than normal!
  - UFO on 23/05/2012 - 11:16 ¶
    
    exactly.
    
    they overinflate their normal retail prices so when people "pay less for cash" thinking they are getting an awesome deal, they arent really.
    
    this is still a good bargain to get a decent amount off so plus vote to OP, but it's not really a full 20% off when you consider how much you would pay elsewhere anyway.

    Sure. Plenty of full RRP stock is included.
    
    I don't understand how any store can think sales like this are a good idea. Customer comes in wanting to buy brand X. 'Sorry sir, it's already discounted. 0% for you'. 'Sorry, that brand isn't included in the sale'. Customer leaves while muttering what a waste of a trip it was.

  Every time I have offered to pay cash in GG they usually discount something completely token like $1. It's a gimmick. What's more ridiculous is that end up having to pay credit card merchant fees well in excess of the measly discount they offer.
  - peter05 on 23/05/2012 - 10:00 ¶
    
    don't know which GG you go to, i got $15 off a $60 hair dryer, ipad 16gb for $490 (below Big W) and around $380 for a dyson listed elsewhere at $499. On top of that you just say you're paying cash and when you get to the counter pay with CC anyway :P
  - Lacerta on 23/05/2012 - 11:28 ¶
    
    I've never even been offered a token $1 discount. My local store tells me that everything on sale already has the maximum discount (whether I pay with credit card or cash).

    Recently I went to a local TGG looking for a TV. It was $749 and I would have to take the demo TV as they didn't have any in stock. Okay I said, how much discount for it being a demo? Down to $740, and that was the CASH price. So they gave a 1.2% discount for it being a demo, which is less than the merchant credit card fees.
    
    I left the store and bought it for $699 at JB Hifi, new in box, with a credit card (free extended warranty).
  - WalterPPK on 23/05/2012 - 18:21 ¶
    
    I've found them willing to haggle quite a lot. I can usually talk about 30-40% off the ticket price there and they'll agree to it. I only really buy small household appliances there, though.

  The web price is the same as the "pay less, pay cash" price.
King Tightarse on 23/05/2012 - 00:54 ¶

From the exclusions listed above:

"some stores may have previously ticketed at a higher price"

Does this mean what I think it does or am I missing something here?
They are giving themselves license to jack the prices before the sale?
- rav0 on 23/05/2012 - 01:16 ¶
  
  It means that Branch x may have your favourite product for $2000 every day and Branch Y has it for $2500 every day. When it's on special for $1500 everywhere, it's 25% off at Branch X but actually 40% off at Branch Y (because Branch Y previously had a higher ticketed rpice).

Percentage off calculated against ticketed prices in store. Excludes prices labeled clearance items, sale, price attack, price drop and Manager’s specials.

It's pretty clear that the percentage off is against the RRP. Why not just say this on the add.

onebutters on 23/05/2012 - 09:49 ¶

I'm a bit sceptical. This does not mention TGG anywhere on that flyer…if they knew nothing of the promo then I doubt they would honour it when you rock up with a generic looking flyer that anyone could have made…

Edit: Chatswood said it was only meant for QLD only but will honour the deal (I've heard they've turned away gift cards recently though). Artarmon said they would not. Please edit title of bargain.

Hey, does anyone know if they will price match and then reduce by 20%?

In which case it would be a total bargain if you've got some gift cards at the 20% discount. 40%+ discount all up. Time to buy my new fridge :)

    As mentioned earlier the only evidence that this is a GG deal is the TGG code number listed on the bottom left of the flyer page. There is no mention of this sale on there website or that this is a specific to one state or store only. So guess you have to get the sales staff to look up the promo code on the flyer to verify validity. If store knows nothing about this promo.

ohsnap on 23/05/2012 - 11:32 ¶

Please don't get too excited guys. These sales are always off ticketed price and that brings the price down to their usual "sale" prices. Most times, you will still be better off price matching it from elsewhere. You must do your own research on the lowest price you can find.

The discounted prices they are going to quote you will likely be the price you would get on any other day if you put some effort into researching plus negotiating. I guess what I am trying to say is don't go in there thinking they are giving you the best deal ever; and don't go out of your way to get to this silly "one day only" sale.

Eg: I went to this sale previously, got a quote for a Nespresso and was told ONE DAY ONLY, BEST PRICE! The price quoted to me was the same price my friend purchased it for a couple of weeks prior (no sale was on).
- WaywardOne on 23/05/2012 - 11:53 ¶
