    All Harvey Normans? Where's this ad from?

      AntMan76 on 25/05/2012 - 07:52

      Have to assume this is at least in one Melbourne store. OP, which store is the ad for?

      •  
        Rumbaar on 25/05/2012 - 08:10

        In Melbourne Herald Sun, no store restrictions that I can see. But it only lists Melbourne stores.

      Update: looks like this is on nation wide, I didn't see the ad myself but its on in selected stores in NSW and Brisbane.

      If you're reading this today, Saturday (even after 11am) go to a store now and see, staff may just let you do it anyway if you say it's in the paper and/or show them the scan from OP. Good luck to all ;)

    Only applies to the $20 card. Looks like its only for 2 cards in total ( 1 card + 1 free card ). If it was unlimited I'm sure the first person in line would purchase the stores entire stock.

    I guess, like most times, they'll just remove those items from display. I remember when the 16GB USB sticks where on sale, went in before the sale and got it cheap. Came back to get more and they had removed all stock.

    Go in when they open and take em off the shelves before they can. Then just hang around until 10am and hit the register. I'm sure between the demos on the big screen Tv's and the nespresso machine samples the time will fly by.

        You mean 2 cards, not 1.

        Turns out 2 cards is exactly what I wanted to get… cheaper than the $30 from JB!

      •  
        Third_Gear on 25/05/2012 - 09:21

        I'm with you on this one. Savings is like $10 as you can quite often get the 2x20 cards for $30 at most places. Good deal for those willing to make the effort and face possible disappointment as there will likely be no stock.

      battler on 25/05/2012 - 09:35

      if there's no $20 vouchers on display, acquire some cards from a different retail chain (unactivated), then take them to HN for activation.

          JLove on 25/05/2012 - 12:25

          Wouldnt that screw up their system? ie. their system says there should be 100 of those cards, but for some odd reason, there's only 2. Im sure if you're the manager/owner of the store, you would be pretty pissed off.

          spo22a on 25/05/2012 - 12:25

          so will you be letting the other store know that you will be taking them out with you?

          you might not consider it stealing, but maybe the store you're taking it from might choose to disagree.

          Jayskies on 25/05/2012 - 17:28

          Stealing is taking any item regardless of its dollar value (or lack of in this case) from a shop without payment.

          Taking unactivated cards is no excuse. It is still stealing.

          CRIMINAL CODE 1899 - SECT 391 - http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/cc189994/s...

          391 Definition of stealing
          (1) A person who fraudulently takes anything capable of being stolen, or fraudulently converts to the person's own use or to the use of any other person anything capable of being stolen, is said to steal that thing.

          The question then becomes can a card of no value be capable of being stolen?

          CRIMINAL CODE 1899 - SECT 390

          390 Things capable of being stolen
          Anything that is the property of any person is capable of being stolen if it is

          (a) moveable; or
          (b) capable of being made moveable, even if it is made moveable in order to steal it.

          So yes it is stealing, however I doubt it would ever make it to trial

    If this deal was unlimited and not "one deal" per customer it might be worth the trouble of heading in at that specific time. Very good deal nonetheless.

    Is there anywhere likely to price match this?

      Third_Gear on 25/05/2012 - 09:16

      If it was unlimited than no one would get any because some jerk would just buy all the stock to resell. 1 per customer is fair.

    •  
      Elijha on 25/05/2012 - 12:10

      Almost certainly not. The cards are serialised and would be locked to the store.
      In my old job I sue to sell phone cards and it's a fairly basic stock management thing to know where cards are and who activating them and who can activate them [ie think if some one stole them from one store to sell from another - which happens]

  •  
    James101 on 25/05/2012 - 20:02

    I wonder, who takes the loss with these specials, the retailer or Apple? My guess is Apple.

    So Apple's cut from app store sales is 30%, but when the cards are on special (eg. 25% off) people stock up. Therefore Apples 30% margin is in fact somewhat less.

    •  
      sparky13 on 26/05/2012 - 08:03

      But it depends on how it works in terms of exchange rates. I wouldn't be surprised if an app that's $0.99 in the US app store and is $1.69 in Australia (I know this is song prices but anyways), the owner would get paid ~$0.70US.

    It's on like (half-price) Donkey Kong! Bought 4x gift cards for $40 at HN in Brisbane, Valley store (Domayne/HN on Ann st @ Homemaker center). They weren't really aware of the deal but someone checked with someone and did it anyway, 15 minutes early even!

    There was no line and only one other guy and his gal with gift cards in hand.

    Approx 10 or so $20 cards left on the stand, I made sure to not take them all she probably would have let me ;) Aren't I a good ozbargainer!
