Not the 3rd Gen but for $350 you wont be stressing over the difference.

Not on sale, just show them my receipt

Yikes, expensive case! I wonder if they marked the ipad down because you spent $100+ on accessories?

But nonetheless, a great starting point for hagging down the price!

  have a look at the reviews of the case

I highly doubt any JB store is going to match this unless you buy the exact same items on the reciept.

Something like this probably belongs on the forums.
- Martini on 18/08/2012 - 09:54 ¶
  
  Agreed. You paid full price & got your case for free.

      The Big W receipt is 3 months old. Most JB's would send you on your way with that. You obviously got lucky and combined that luck with a sales rep who is really dumb.

  Maybe there can be a thread in the forums where people can post price matching receipts?

Maybe a bit early for the negs. I'm sure some people will hit JB today trying to get the ipad only for $350 without accessories, and get rejected.That's the time to then come on here and neg this deal.
teragiga on 18/08/2012 - 10:14 ¶

Where can i pricematch this?
- ozhunter on 18/08/2012 - 10:24 ¶
  
  Try jb hi-fi, but doubt you will get it.
IMBI3 on 18/08/2012 - 10:25 ¶

Can I ask, did you try at Big W prior to JB?
- kdavies on 18/08/2012 - 10:26 ¶
  
  No as my local Big W had no stock at the time

Alienzzz on 18/08/2012 - 10:28 ¶

They won't do it because firstly the recent is dated to may 12 and so it must be a current sale price where they have stock and the store needs to be at least in same state in most cases but lets forget that for a moment, they need to call big w to confirm this price but they won't be able to because it's not current
- ozhunter on 18/08/2012 - 10:30 ¶
  
  It's dated August 14…
  - Alienzzz on 18/08/2012 - 10:33 ¶
    
    Sorry I meant the big w reciept is 22 may 2012. Also the case purchased for $80 is around $45 on eBay, looks good

All i did was i get a copy of the Big W receipt off a friend called Big W and asked if they had any iPad2 instock they said no. I then went into JB and showed them the Big W receipt on my phone and said will u price match? they responded " Holly S**t thats cheep!, yes we will"

they then asked me if i needed anything else and i said that i did need some accessories and they discounted them for me too! case was original $99 (but $89 at big W)

  Most people trying to get this price match from JB HiFi will be told: "Holly S**t, keep dreaming"
cosbysweater on 18/08/2012 - 10:39 ¶

The case is brilliant, have had one for a few months and has handled the kids' attempts to destroy the ipad2 admirably, it was purchased from bigw for more than the price on the receipt ($90 ish from memory). It is heavy though, and for those who are keen on the iPad's clean lines etc the case is one ugly mother.

The point is OP tried it and it worked, so why neg when you havent tried yourself?
kangaberries on 18/08/2012 - 11:41 ¶

It's a good price but I wish the OP separated the purchases into two receipts for us, to make it easier oh well.

ok 1 silly question, how do you pricematch? Print the receipt's picture on piece of paper and bring it to JBhifi?

or just show it to them by using the phone?

never did a pricematch before.
- ozhunter on 18/08/2012 - 12:11 ¶
  
  Yea just print the receipt/show it on your phone and ask for the same price.
  
  Stores usually only pricematch catalogues/advertisements. You can try with the receipt but don't be surprised if they won't accept it.
  - Holysmoke on 18/08/2012 - 13:43 ¶
    
    Do any stores have official policies on receipt price-matching?
    - ozhunter on 18/08/2012 - 14:06 ¶
      
      Not that I know.
    - beralj on 18/08/2012 - 17:35 ¶
      
      I work at Big W, and we will only price match things advertised in a catalogue. You can't use receipts-how do we know if it wasn't an ex-display, or a mistake or something dodgy?
walk4hell on 18/08/2012 - 11:52 ¶

I went to JB Hi-Fi and shown them the receipt as well didnt work. The best they offered was $392. IPAD 2 are already on promotion on JBHI and Harvey Norman at $429.
