DSE have Mac Book Air range on special don't blame me if you missed out. I saw it in stock for free delivery by the time I posted it.

Apple MacBook Air 13" 1.7GHz - 128GB $599.25 this one you have to try your luck (no delivery and most out of stock)

Apple MacBook Air 13" 1.7GHz - 256GB $749.25 delivered

And some more but I am not sure whether they are good price or not because I don't use Mac Book.

    Not available anywhere in Melbourne for all three models:(

      Look closer the one I posted 11" Air 1.6GHz $599.25 delivered and in stock but not in store. 13" 1.7GHz 256GB SSD also in stock for delivery by the time I posted this deal but now seem gone.

    Sorry, I gotta neg.

    Looks like there may have been one or two for delivery (which would be insufficient quantity anyway)
    Now all are click and collect only but I am yet to see a single store with any stock.

    (Find a store with stock and I'll remove my neg)

    • mskeggs on 07/05/2013 - 10:00
      +13

      There was stock for delivery when posted, why neg if you missed out?
      DSE doesn't give OzB visibility of stock levels >1 so we can only either choose to post deals that show up as available for delivery, or not.
      I'd rather see deals that run out quickly than potentially miss out on a deal because it wasn't posted because of negs.

        • skayper on 07/05/2013 - 12:48

          I've got 1 in SA.. Agree that they might only have less than 10 nation wide and thus may be a valid reason to neg but I, personally, thanked OP for posting this as i wouldnt get it otherwise

          +3

          Tell me where you can check they have stock levels >10 or <10.

          If you can't tell remove your neg, also please remember I am not REP I couldn't tell.

          skayper, good on you somebody actually bought it.

        • arend on 07/05/2013 - 13:37
          -4

          Tell me where you can check they have stock levels >10 or <10.

          The fact that it is not available for delivery and a store with stock is yet to identified tells me that stock levels are <10

          I have no problem with you posting the 'deal', but when it can't be bought then it ceases to be a deal.
          No personal beef with you though superforever (I did say sorry first up). Pleased you tried and acknowledged the stock gamble in the desciption, and its all the better if someone got one.

          you don't know how many people actually managed to get one. The fact of it is, the majority of those clicks probably come from non-members. People who don't engage in the ozbargain community but access the deals posted. Not everyone who got one will post about it.

    How much is the $599 model usually cost? Got one on hold, apparently it has been centric fixed? or something.. because it wasn't charging so there's 2 chargers in the box. It also says it needs reformating and their not sure if its been done or not. I have not a clue how to use a mac book.

    Getting a little annoyed with tricky Dickie's deals - sucks us into website & never enough in stock for click & collect, plus no delivery = an unethical salesperson ploy to me.

    • DJ on 07/05/2013 - 10:41
      +13

      I'm getting a little annoyed with people thinking they have the right to whatever they want at whatever quantity they want simply because it's posted on OzBargain.

      It's not a salesploy as they aren't advertising it as a sale item.

      For heavens sake, you have 200 of something from 2011, you sell 197 of them, and decide to offer the remaining 3 at a cheap price. Just because we're OzBargainers doesn't grant us the right to say "it's not fair if only three people can get one, you must have enough for all of us."

      There is no wrongdoing here on Dick Smiths part.

      • Jackson on 07/05/2013 - 10:49

        I agree with you wholeheartedly, but isn't that what the neg is for? If something is so short on stock that no one gets it, we neg, that way ppl don't waste there time trying and can see from the front page that its a waste of time.

        to say that it shouldn't be negged is like saying everyone should be wasting their time chasing pipe dreams. Are there any other repercussions to negging that I don't know about/havent mentioned?

        • DJ on 07/05/2013 - 10:59
          +4

          I agree with what you say - but I didn't say it shouldn't be negged. Didn't mention negs at all, actually :-)

          As I said, I'm annoyed at this "expectation" that some people have of stores having unlimited stock of items to sell, possibly at a loss, to anyone who happens to look at OzBargain.

          It doesn't meet the guidelines of OzBargain, but as has been pointed out in the thread, we don't know stock levels so we generally don't have any idea when posting such a deal. Imagine how people would get grumpy at the OP if he found this, there were 200 in stock, and OzBargainers missed out because non-OzBargainers bought the stock. Then he pops up and says, Oh, I saw this three weeks ago.

          A deal is a deal, and this was a damn good one for the handful of people that got it. The lack of quantity means it's not suitable for front page OzBargain, that's all.

          We almost need another type of vote - pos/neg/good deal for a lucky few

          Cheers

          There is the Out of Stock update to stop people wasting time. No need to neg the deal.

          I would disagree, I don't see why you can't neg a deal I'd its out of stock in 5 minutes, if someone thinks that makes the deal suck, fair play.

          the neg is for the deal, not the OP, so why does it matter beyond that? A deal with plenty of stock is better than a deal with little stock, and the votes display this

        • Tal_Shiar on 08/05/2013 - 02:47

          I don't see why you can't neg a deal I'd its out of stock in 5 minutes

          thats what the expired button is for…

        • Jackson on 08/05/2013 - 08:01

          Sure we agree on the use of the expired button, but the simple fact is 1 MacBook at 699 isn't as good as 200 @ 699. Hence neg, and no hard feelings.

          I am starting to feel like this is turning into 'duck season, rabbit season', so that's it for me

        • Tal_Shiar on 08/05/2013 - 13:37

          Then don't argue a lost case, simple fact is until you do know how many there were or you can prove OP is a dick smith employee you have no valid reason to neg

I just went to their website and on the front page only shows like 8-12 deals, but nothing of the magnitude I've seen on OzB eg Nintendo ds etc.. Is there a specific place on the website where it shows all the deals? Or do u guys specifically check each department for them? Eg. Tv, games etc

    • IVI on 07/05/2013 - 10:41

      I've seen worse from DSE, under prev owners, eg:

      Offering a deal but having only "repaired" or "returned by Customer" stock
      -but- demanding same price as if New (the advertised condition).

      This doesn't wash on eBay, &
      it shouldn't be acceptable here.

      Having -no- stock is about as bad.

    Yet ANOTHER No-Got-Stock vacuous "deal" from DSE…

    fostering excitement… then disappointment…

    Subtle pro-Apple marketing by DSE?

    I think bigger companies, like DSE
    need bigger expectations before their deals go live here

    Eg, at least 20 of each deal item per State / Territory
    AND an expressed willingness to ship when local store have none

    I, for one, feel this'd be
    a fair "price" to pay
    for akk their "free ad's" on OzB.

    I picked up the last one from Mt Durrit NSW, they told me they had none in stock over the phone so I went to the store and asked again, and they had one but did not want to sell to me, excuse given was that they already sold it over the phone, which is BS because DSE don't allow that. I am really sick and tired of what DSE staff do and would love to make a complaint to ACCC.

  • ev3nfl0w on 08/05/2013 - 11:19

    If it was Dick Smith actively promoting these deals via advertisements & their website, then there is something really wrong with how they operate.

    HOWEVER, this is not the case and it is Ozbargainers posting their OWN deals that they have FOUND on Dick Smith online or in one of the stores.

    Instead of bagging a company and having a whinge because you 'could not see stock' why not spend that time looking for your own deal and making sure you get one that is in stock…
