  Opps I printed it to write the post just realised only the first page came out :|
  Slightly confused though on the first half of the page it says 15% off DSLR cameras but on the second it states 15% off cameras *excludes DSLR it contradicts itself unless I'm misreading something

    The first half of the page is the 'one-night-only sale', which includes 15% off DSLR just on that night.
    
    The second half of the page is a separate sale that is running till 29th July, and it includes 15% off cameras (but excludes DSLR).
    
    That's why there is different inclusions / exclusions

Does the sale include games?
- melmac77 on 23/07/2012 - 12:14 ¶
  
  I just looked up the previous ones and they all specifically had Games on the flyer this one does not so I suspect it doesn't include games of course you may find different when you go on the night.

  melmac77 on 23/07/2012 - 12:17 ¶
  
  In the past they have had this sale during the 2 for 20 bluray and some stores have taken off the 20% off the top off that and some didn't. If the Buy 2 get one free is due to end after Wednesday then the 20% off should be applicable as well but as per all JB sales you will have to be vigilant with the Checkout operator because they usually get it wrong.
nairdajun on 23/07/2012 - 11:52 ¶

does this include AV receivers and things? (30% off yamaha)
- melmac77 on 23/07/2012 - 12:17 ¶
  
  Yes
DeWalt on 23/07/2012 - 12:13 ¶

I saw the Christopher Nolan collection for $46 in JB HIFI (unless my memory serves me wrong). If you subtract the 20% - it will definitely be cheaper than Amazon!! Mind you, the JB HIFI version is one movie short - but it's got the two Batmans and Inception … and they're the ones that really count (I purposely excluded Prestige).

  fchis on 23/07/2012 - 14:12 ¶
  
  if you read my post carefully, that has 5 movies instead 4 so it's not actually cheaper if you value it as per movie base. Anyways, JB's deal is still good.
  - DeWalt on 24/07/2012 - 13:07 ¶

jamesvre on 23/07/2012 - 13:02 ¶

Will the price of the 15% tv sale be different online and instore on Wednesday from 6-9pm. Will this be all JB Hifi's. I'm looking to buy a Samsung tv or an LG. I'm thinking maybe go instore and see if the 40" Samsung for $1046 or the 42" LG for $998 online will be different instore.
yikes on 23/07/2012 - 13:08 ¶

Make sure you check the prices online before you go instore.
Last time during one of these sales I went to buy a laptop and they had marked it up from the price online and what was marked the day before…
tsunamisurfer on 23/07/2012 - 13:21 ¶

Can anyone give some insight as to JB’s policy on such discount events?

Will prices ‘magically’ go up @ 6pm Wednesday? Or will the discount apply onto the prices of the day?

Help appreciated….never been to one of these and wondering if it is worth the time?

  beaudilo on 23/07/2012 - 13:51 ¶
  
  Shouldn't do.
  
  I just started doing some part time work and have noticed that the price discrepancies are generally due to the ever fluctuating prices of the stock combined with infrequent price card updating by staff. They definitely shouldn't be adjusted for the sale given the legal/ethical concerns.
  
  I was actually quite surprised to hear the lengths that management will go to ensure customers are happy.
  
  I'd suggest making your case and asking to speak with a manager if you are not happy with the sales staff.
  
  Just the experience of a pleb playing in retail.

  It does seem suss that they have to shut the store before the "sale". The already reduced price tags will magically disappear most likely from the TV's and computers and the discounts will apply from higher prices.

    The time is utilised to display sale merch, such as signs and banners. Common practice the night before the sale, hence the closure to set up.

    Go in before it closes, take notes of prices, go in after and compare. If you find a mismatch have a jolly good whinge.
- StewBalls on 24/07/2012 - 10:43 ¶
  
  Will prices ‘magically’ go up @ 6pm Wednesday?
  
  Yes, they will…I've been through this a few times with JB. They will go up enough to ensure the price is at least the same after discount, if not slightly higher!
  
  As the discombobulated says, take note (photo, catalogue) of the price before the sale & raise that with the manager for the item(s) you want. Kick up enough fuss, mention FT & the ACCC, whatever works for you; but stand your ground and you'll get the real discount. :)

A 60D body is current $855.

I am guess it would not drop by 15% from that….but I don't have the original price to calculate if the 15% discount would be lower than that or not.

  Why not?
  
  Edit: BTW it's only $759 @ DWI. It's being superceeded by 70D, so expect price to drop very sharply… :-)
- tsunamisurfer on 23/07/2012 - 15:19 ¶
  
  The DWI ones are grey imports.
  
  Canon do not have international warranties on bodies from what I have read, only lens.
  
  Whilst I take your point about the price differential, I am also cognisant that there are differences.

Any chance you could get jb to price match and then provide the discount ontop?
- Benjaminhh on 23/07/2012 - 19:30 ¶
  
  no, percentage is off the ticketed price (be it catalogue or rrp).
ryanlundie on 23/07/2012 - 18:48 ¶

I presume the 15% Computers excludes Apple macs?
- Benjaminhh on 23/07/2012 - 19:29 ¶
  
  yes, 15% off computers always excludes Sony and Apple hence the inclusion of 10% off both.
- Husky on 23/07/2012 - 19:35 ¶
  
  The first sale listed is 10% of macs…

moutzokers on 24/07/2012 - 14:49 ¶

Just thought I'd login to share my 2 cents, given a lot of comments saying the prices rise to account for the discount.
As a JB employee for 2 years now, I can say definitively; this isn't true at all. I have not seen this happen once.
- +8 votes
  
  StewBalls on 24/07/2012 - 17:08 ¶
  
  As a JB customer for much more than 2 years, I can say definitively that it does happen. It's nice to hear that your store might not engage in this practice; but don't go making sweeping statements on behalf of the organisation that contradict real-life experience in many stores because it most certainly does occur, and has been reported many times here & on WP.
  
  I've had first hand experience of it myself during a 15% off TVs weekend sale. I'd scouted a $1591 TV on Friday, then miraculously it's $1891 by Saturday sale time! The halfwits even forgot that it was in their current catalogue for the lower price.
  
  Needless to say, when pressed on the matter all it took was one mention to the manager of this going to FT & the ACCC to make it a ~$1350 TV for me. :)

      No so far as I can tell the only other special is the Buy 2 get 1 free TV series. There are some blus included in that though. And the 20% off sale has started on the TV series already :)
      
      Now applied to all discs so far as I can tell :)

LG 55LM7600 vs 55LM8600 which is better, besides widi on the 8600 and faster app response from dualcore.. hmmm tossing up between the two. only $200 difference probably too much thinking for that saving..
KnowingNothing on 25/07/2012 - 11:09 ¶

When I worked for JB, I can honestly say I've never seen any actual price hikes happen on the sale day but as a customer, I know they've done some dodgy acts. Then again I worked in games so I'm not sure what happens in other departments.

I made the mistake of not checking prices before today so I can't tell if the CDs are already discounted 20%. The one I'm looking at says 'On Sale Now', but I can't tell if that's the 20% off or a random sale. [yes, I could wait two hours to see, but I'm impatient].
