Update:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice?utm_source=dx&utm_medium=cdn&utm_…

According to this, they will be rotating the deals throughout the day (800 SKUs with total quantity of 40,000) to cover a bunch of other products too. Check back whenever you can to see if theres anything new!

Update 2:

http://dx.com/mayhalfprice/Default/ShoppingList

They have pushed out another list of more items! It does verify the theory that the initial page was for DX AU deliveries whilst this is the International 50% off section. Please be aware that there will be longer delivery times for this since it needs to be shipped directly from China as opposed to the DX AU (which apparently has warehouse in Perth).

Update 3:
Offer is pretty much officially "Ozbargained" with the only remaining stock to be either very specialist products (Spare battery for product x), Seasonal products (Christmas), or stuff that not many people want. The only thing I am hoping for is that they can fulfill all orders so everyone is happy.

DX has subtly stated however, (Broken English) "If the customers who participate in this activity are more than expected which results in lack of product supply, we have to process refund for the oversold items, please kindly understand." which may account for some people's Paypals reported refunded against.

Update 4:

Have to apologise in advance to anyone who doesnt get the stock for this deal. Despite being the OP and putting the order through before others, I have now received a cancellation against my two orders (W8 and PD10). It is seemingly like a lottery to get stock. Very very disappointed. :(

Update 5:

After a disappointing weekend, DX has now come back to affected customers with a voucher that's worth 15% of the original total order. So, if your order was $200, then they will give you back $30 worth as a rebate in compensation to be used in DX. Apparently the stock is still available - but not it has changed to a different SKU but they are offering 15% off the original price. This is pretty beneficial if your original order was expensive (and hence you can get back a higher rebate value) - but typically most would only have done a $200 order with $30 rebated.

The new link is here: http://dx.com/l/au-direct/2013-02/special-items.aspx

As you can see, the deal is nowhere near as good as before. However, it is up to you as an individual to see if it is still good value enough to continue making the purchases.

      Quick! You better buy something from their sister site IntimateGadgets.com to make it up to her ;)

  • Damm it !! Every good item is sold out ! Can't believe my bad luck

    • Ah Grass Hopper you still have money in the bank, today is a good day :)

  • bought the FREELANDER PD80-HD 9.7"

    too cheap to resist

  • DX.COM reserves the right to explain the terms of the promotion.

    I wonder what they meant by that?! Anyway just as well sold out, no temptation for me.

    • +1

      The 'Terms' just might be that:
      "We reserve the right to garner interest from investing alot of money in the short-term money market before eventually getting around to returning funds and apologizing for accidentally processing orders containing 'sold out' items"…

      … not that the likes of such has ever happened before on the interweb.

      • Hahaha, all of them explain things like that. Probably someone let loose with a Chinese-English dictionary.

  • Bluetooth support.

    • +2

      I hope that doesn't mean a lack of support for Redgum. They were quite a good band…

  • only wanted the ultrafire, too bad its gone

    • Don't feel sad. If you want a little 'fire in your life there are so many other bargainiferous China brands to choose from… Trustfire, Marsfire, Fandyfire, Spiderfire…
      Hold on, I'm missing one…
      No, can't think of it.
      My brain's fried!

  • What helicopter to buy? Quick my shopping cart is full.

  • They're selling out like hotcakes!

    Couldn't resist the W8…

  • FYI, just got an automated call from 28Deg asking me to confirm the 2 orders I made today and a previous order with another store on Tuesday. I made these using Paypal using funds from my CC. Good that they are monitoring the transactions.

    • I haven't received these calls in ages.. I wonder what I have to do to trip their fraud alerter.

      considering I've made purchased at all times of the day and for all kinds of stupid things I'm not sure what is left to alert them with.

  • Can you do a search in sale items or you will have to browse through all the pages?

  • +3

    Damn, I was too slow on the MK808B and air mouse… sold out…
    In fact most of the electronic gadgets are sold out. Any chance they will restock before end of sale??

    • i missed out as well :-( … anymore air mouse going on sale?

  • Stuff it , bought the THL W8 Quad Core phone ($116)

    as well.

    that's US$116 with 28 degrees so should end up $110 or so.

    not bad for a 5inch quad core 12mp phone.

      FYI, the Aussie dollar had dropped below parity with the US. It will likely be around AUD120. :-(

  • Hi guys. I was about to buy a new ipad with retina display then I saw the DX audirect had the Freelander PD80-HD. The specs include "Retinal Technology; IPS screen, 2048 x 1536". Is this similar to apples retina display resolution? Yes, I understand apple and android are different platforms, it was mostly the retina display resolution that was the selling point for me. Anyway, I purchased the PD-80HD. It was still $400 savings on a new retina ipad. Thanking in advance.

    • +1

      Yes similar resolution and fraction of the price. Support and quality of course are not comparable.

      • True, the Freelander supports SD card and Flash, so you get much more ;-)

  • Seems like most of the good 50% off sale is gone. The AU Direct one is still available though

  • +3

    this post gets my vote for post of the year.

    unless they cancel my order for some reason.

      this post now gets my vote for worst post of the year.
      sorry op-not your fault.

  • do the tablets come with australian power cords for our wall sockets? /end dumb question

    • Nope.

      1 x 100~240V power adapter (EU plug/100cm-cable)

  • Huh, checked out at paypal, redirected indefnitely to merchant site after confirming payment. No record of paypal payment, my cart is empty and the items I purchased are sold out. The joys of e-commerce.

    • +2

      At least you didn't have to drive to a store early in the morning, queue up, run all around looking for the items you want, and leave disappointed because the person in front of you just took the last item.

  • Found out, I was using the wrong link where everything sold out..

    Yeeeeyyyyh, Got Ditter v12 and freelander PD80HD.

    I'm still surprised, Such a high end tablet with no bluetooth.

    • Seems the MK808B is sold out. Damn. Unless I'm using the wrong link??

  • Anyone know where I can get a magnetic cover/case for the W8? Would S3 covers fit?

  • +2

    Oh god, i went a bit crazy. Got the PD80-HD for mum, pd-30 for dad, and pd10hd for myself.

    • +7

      cool. you'll have to get matching tracksuits too.

      • I used their credit card.

        • +1

          then better add flowers, beer and extra household chores as well.

  • Half the stuff was sold out, but now seems to be back. I tried ordering the OBDII tool, but it said sold out as I was trying to pay. Now it says it's available and I ordered it fine. I think the site may have glitched out.

    • says sold out for me…

      • Yes, it says the same thing for me now as well. I think you missed it by about 5 minutes.

  • +14

    I'm gonna have to neg this post. Made me spend > $300.

    • Same here, and I still missed deals for MK808 and Air Mouse.

  • +1

    Is the MK809 better than MK808B? LOL

  • Damnit literally everything i wanted to get is sold out!

    That ditter android device doesn't have wireless n so no thanks :(

    • crud, so what does that mean in terms of streaming etc? for the suckers who purchased it?!

      • oh it should be ok for most streaming, though i am not sure about the higher resolutions like 1080p

        I mainly want wireless n because i have a wireless n router set to the appropriate channel.

    • you would get better connection speeds when wired anyway wouldn't you??

      • yes but it won't make too much of a difference for everyday internet use

  • +1

    Time to find cases and accessories for the THL 8? Gee looking on ebay they're not cheap..

    • Holding a GPS?, can't see how it can hold the GPS whilst driving and can't see why you need a GPS on the stand whilst not driving?

      haha lol imagine playing games which use the accelerometer

    • I do need a new "dining table"…..

  • Many items are now sold out

    • everybody keeps saying that, but the majority (like 90%+) is still showing instock for me…

  • Is DX another Amazon Marketplace where they process your payments but it's every seller for themself?

    • No, DX stocks the item and sells directly.

      • The old dealextreme site was different, they had some stock but not everything and sellers listed their own items. You could see sellers at the bottom of the page.
        You could also see the shit ones change their name slightly when they had a bad enough reputation :)

  • had stuff open i wanted and thought i would read through the comments. By the time i finished and hit refresh on the pages almost all had sold out.

      Pay using PayPal to avoid this

      • Oh I see, thanks.
        I didn't use paypal, used my 28 degrees mastercard to pay for it. I guess I'll just send them a photo of my credit card then.

        • +2

          you can register your 28 degrees CC to your paypal account.

          and always pay in the foreign currency.

        • yeah I should probably do this because I think I'll be doing lots more of online shopping in the future. Prices of stuffs in Australia are way too expensive :)

      • I paid with paypal and i got an email saying i should send them conformation screenshots of my paypal personal info & paypal history what should i do?

    • Nope, I used Paypal and payed with credit card. Did you use paypal or just credit card check out?

    • according to their representative via live chat it is although we paid with paypal they would later on ask for a confirmation like this

      • I was trying to cancel some items in my order. They said they couldn't do it as the payment was still in process (despite my screen said payment had been confirmed and order was processing) and I should wait for some kind of verification email from them because I paid via credit card (although I paid via paypal). I tried three times today on the morning, midday and just now. But on the last time, after saying they couldn't, suddenly they told me that the payment has then been confirmed and he could proceed with the cancellations. So no verification email

  • I don't understand, this is a AU Direct Item, why the code won't apply 50% on it?

    Could someone summarise the recommended or best seller products that all OzBargainers have bought today? :) or maybe an improvement input for OzBargain to add this feature (such as extra tagging or polling-like feature in each topic)

    This will help someone like me to make their mind quickly :)

    Could someone review these as there's too much posts that I have to read! Many thanks

    So the best (or bestseller, or recommended) for 9.7" Tablet - FREELANDER PD80-HD (correct?) - $116

    Mini Android PC - DITTER V12 (?) $28

    How about 7"? which is the best?

    Thanks.

    • go the FREELANDER PD80-HD

    • The ditter v12 will not be any good for streaming HD content over wifi, as it only has wifi g, not wifi n.

      On the upside, it's still in stock, whereas the mk808b (which has wifi n) is no longer in stock.

      • wifi g should work fine in the same room.
        HDTV is 12 Mbps, h264 rips less. Streaming a raw blu-ray rip at high bit rate could be a problem, I suppose.

        • I have had trouble streaming 720p .mkv files over wireless n. Over g, it was unwatchable. Advertised wireless speeds are theoretical maximum burst speeds. They are not comparable to wired network listed speeds. Eg: 100mbps Ethernet was fine. "300mbps" wireless was choppy and glitchy.

        • You must live in a wifi-interference-prone area or have too many devices on your AP.

    • What about the 7" tablet? which one is the most recommended? is the $35 good?

    • +1

      All the Tablets are sold out?

  • Got the Freelander PH20 for an e-reader.. or possibly to use for a car tablet…
