Moved to Forum (Price Error): Original Link

I bought one of these 18 months ago for around $500 and couldn't be happier - it's brilliant, very sturdy and work extremely well. According to the Breville page it's recommended by Choice (ha!) and used by MKR (double ha!).

So, I was pretty impressed when I noticed they were out on the Myer website for $99.95! I've linked the cranberry colour in the post, but they also have sherbet, silver and black

Interestingly they also have the cheaper non-pro model for $99.95 (RRP $349) but don't know why you'd get that.

Delivery is $9.95, but they also have free delivery for orders over $100, so if you buy something small to push over the $100 mark you'll get an even better bargain. I bought a set of 6 champagne glasses (was $29) which were on special for $10, but then had a 30% extra discount on them applied - $7. At least I'll then have something to celebrate my bargain with!

          Feel free to post a link to where in the law you think this is but i am almost certain you will not be able to.

          As i have said, people tried that with the HN deal i linked to. They didn't get anywhere even though the ACCC love to catch HN out after the many year year legal battle over not enough stock of MYOB.

          Taking of your money plays no part. As i said though, feel free to link to where the law says it does.

          Edit: Still dont believe me?

          As people did with both HN and the JB $15 tv. And again, they got nowhere. Feel free to waste your time with it though.

          T&Cs ARE your rights when dealing with that company. If you don't agree with the T&Cs - which really only come into play when there is a mistake (as in a price error) - then don't deal with that company. If the T&Cs were onerous and ridiculous - like you have to do 23 jumping jacks when you buy a mixer - then maybe you can complain to the ACCC. However, when the T&Cs are used to enforce something like - "we clearly made a mistake with the price, sorry we can't fulfil your order" - then the ACCC can't, and shouldn't, do anything.

          YOUR consumer rights also state that THEY don't have to honour a pricing error.

  • PresidentClinton on 19/03/2014 - 09:57

    Why was my neg revoked? This is an obvious pricing error- someone listed them as $99.95 instead of $99.95 off the RRP. FOOLS

    • andy19363 on 19/03/2014 - 10:10

      Why was my neg revoked?

      because it was invalid…

      Appropriate uses of negative vote

      Cheaper price elsewhere
      Mention store or URL and price making sure to include shipping.

      Defective product
      The product has been recalled
      Major issue with product in that it doesn't work the way it should.

      Major issue with retailer
      Didn't receive previous purchase. Example
      Shipping time exceeding expected wait. Example

      • PresidentClinton on 19/03/2014 - 10:19

        Click on each of the products again- they have gone up to $489. So wrong pricing by OP (inadvertent).

        Thereby- cheaper price by jb hi-fi-$449

        Major issue with retailer- pricing error- example.

        Also splitting hairs will never get anyone far. The neg will let others know not to dive right in- there is a serious problem with this deal.

        • andy19363 on 19/03/2014 - 10:26

          your neg may impact on the OP's ability to post (albeit temporarily).
          On many occasions, price errors have been upheld by the retailer.

          The neg will let others know not to dive right in

          Reporting the deal will do that much faster…. the mods can then expire/sold out it quickly

        • OhHeyA on 19/03/2014 - 15:41

          They were $99.95 before but then the price changed after a while to $489. That's why some people are having arguments of whether myer will honor the price due to pricing error.

    I just spoke to the call centre and they are aware of the pricing glitch, and I have requested to cancel the order as I was charged the current higher price
    even though I have screenshots of the original A$99 price.
    I have just received confirmation of my order being cancelled and money to be refunded.. Quick and simple and the right thing to do…
    OR you can try to get Myers to honour the A$99 price..good luck..

    Considering they quickly found the hole and plugged it, it may not be a unbearable cost to Myer, so I reckon very likely they would honour this to the few ozbargainers who got in quick. Pity I wasn't aware of this deal, but good luck to all of you who managed to grab one.

  • smerm07 on 19/03/2014 - 11:18

    Status on my order has changed. Mixer says its "backordered", the free gift is still "processing"

    • Mimbula on 19/03/2014 - 11:24

      Mine has also changed to 'backordered', whilst the entire order has the status 'Status Not Available'. I've got a bad feeling about this…

      • smerm07 on 19/03/2014 - 11:36

        surely it would have just gone to cancelled not backorder. weird.

        • Scaregdearimasu on 19/03/2014 - 11:38

          Yeah it took them 30 mins to change the site price but it's been 2 hours with no here's what's happening. Your think they'd have contingency plans for things like this.

        • smerm07 on 19/03/2014 - 11:52

  • miztadave on 19/03/2014 - 11:30

    When they have the obvious 'out' as detailed in the T&Cs on the website and it's obviously a pricing error, Myer shareholders would be rightly miffed if they didn't refuse to accept the orders.

  • impoze on 19/03/2014 - 11:33

    noo, my order says backordered as well with the status not available

  • RubenM on 19/03/2014 - 11:38

    Is there any way to check the order status if you don't have a Myer account?
    I just went and purchased it as a guest.

    Order status now changed to "Backordered"

  • DEvok on 19/03/2014 - 12:39

    Wow if it's on back order they would be replenishing stock pretty soon then.

  • Lancerx on 19/03/2014 - 12:44

    just how the hell can they sell it so low? Must be below cost? $499 > $99?!!! But why though? just curious…it's not like there's another better model coming around the corner, or it's crap..

    ok…i guess it's pricing error, thought it's just clearance on a certain color

    • RubenM on 19/03/2014 - 12:45

          OzB has saved me plenty over the year or so I have been here, so would like to share the savings. Not sure how a price match will go, due to the MASSIVE savings, surely below cost?

        • ozboy on 19/03/2014 - 14:06

          Did you just go to Penrith Store and mention you saw the price in the morning for $99.99 and they honor it or did you click and collect in the morning in web.

          Thanks and would be nice if you could share the info

        • StrickenAza34 on 19/03/2014 - 14:09

          Yeah, no worries. Just went in store, they had changed the price back by the time she got in there. If you look below, you will see exactly what happened.

      • StrickenAza34 on 19/03/2014 - 14:08

        Told them it was that price, no-one here provided their SS of it, so couldn't show them, told them about Bait and Switch, how they had already sold to customers online, and then showed out of stock, then was available again, but at a higher price. Store manager called head office, waited for them to call back, she waited for roughly half hour, until they agreed to hold it, for $99 until next week, as a gesture of goodwill. I'm not going to tell her to sit there until they tell her why they were so kind.

      Our original intention was to layby it, but they don't layby small appliances apparently. So, we got it on hold for a good price, I was good enough to share the steps so others could try, hell, I even offered to post my receipt when purchased, what more do you want? A float and celebration?

      Not everyone has immediate cash or finance to purchase immediately. He try to help us in Ozbargain how he got the price as an OZbargain community. I think we shouldn't ask or comment about others finance situation.

      Isn't that all the more proof/reason for why such people would need the product at the bargain price? If it's financially tough to blow $99 on an unplanned purchase for the house, it'd be near impossible for them to pay RRP of $600, right? Think about it :P

      One could also be suspicious if people come in insisting on a bargain or heavy discount, then pull out a wad of cash or their platinum credit card to pay for it… lol

    Most likely scenario for most of us: (from Myer T&C)

    6.3 Myer Online reserves the right to change or alter Prices of Goods on the Website without notice to you. If you have already submitted an Order at a particular Price, there will be no change or alteration to that Price (provided your Order is not affected by a pricing error, in which case the procedure in clause 5.4 will apply).

    5.4. Myer reserves the right not to honour any incorrect offers represented on the Website made by genuine human or system error. Where your Order is affected by an error on the Website (for example, in a description, an image, Price or otherwise), we will reject that part of the Order affected by the error. You will be refunded the value of that part of your Order affected by the error, under clause 7, and Myer Online will fulfil the remainder of your Order. If you are not satisfied with the partial fulfilment of your Order, you can return your Order to us under the Returns Policy.

    When people come across prices like these, they should place they're order and wait until its been shipped before posting.
    That way at least someone gets the great deal.
    Because 1 order is bound to be missed where as 500 in 20 mins is sure to set alarms going.

    But as the op wasn't looking for one to purchase many thanks for the effort.
