JB HiFi for the fail.
No wonder their service staff are so useless and full of s&*t. They don't even know the cost of a product.
They do know the price of a product. They are hoping you don't.
Pricing has nothing to do with the general staff as well. Prices will be set by corporate. No need to take it out on the workers.
if Lenovo sell it $248, what does that say about JB's everyday price of $348???
what the hell… JB would be the last place you should go if you pay $100 more after Sunday!
True true true. I was thinking the same thing and wondering how many people purchased it at the higher price and how many people walk in and think this is a steal.
I just saw it and posted it. If you're not interested in buying from B&M then ignore this, but at the same price as online I don't see what the benefit of buying it online would be.
ignore my pleasant comment above.
This has NOTHING to do with B&M. You are claiming that the product is priced above what the company who makes it are pricing it as, then claiming customers a getting a discount and "saving $41" by getting it with you.
Wan't to know why people are turning away from B&M? go no further. Pretty sure JB will ask to get your post removed because this makes them look atrocious.
OP is better off deleting this thread as it obviously does JB no favours at all and there's no way to rescue this
No, let's not. Makes for an amusing thread for Friday afternoon. :)
the benefit is not having to talk to the avg. JB salesperson and them asking for a drivers license for a cash sales non telecoms product
granted online you run the risk of dealing with Lenovo's horrible pre and post sales support
so the lesson learned here:
- dont deal with JB
- dont deal with Lenovo
- dont buy tablets with MKT and LP DDR2
The sticker says "Hurry Ends Sunday!" as in JB will start ripping me off with the original price of $289 after Sunday.
sual price is $348 at JB HIFI
Are you confusing it with Yoga 10? JB's own website shows Yoga 8 is $248 and Yoga 10 is $348.
Oh dear JBooboo
$100 for an extra 2.1"
Hmmmm, naughty things entering my mind.
Are you actually a company rep or just a sales guy working in store? Do you have authority from your employer to be representing PR?
Examples of those who will be tagged as a representative:
Any employee or contractor for the company.
Designer of the company's website
Working as a marketer for this company (SEO).
Designing/making/producing the product being sold.
Related to someone mentioned above (friend, family).Either way doesn't matter, store rep status will still hold. Employees have posted deals from their workplace previously, and given the nature of ozb being a public forum I would imagine that you wouldn't exactly need permission to be "representing PR". Although I may be wrong…
I'm not talking about ozbargain's rules, I'm talking about his employers. A lot of planning by training goes into marketing people managing a company's online presence.
Like I said in the second half of my comment, employees have posted deals from their workplace before. Perhaps JB will be getting a bad rep from this but (now I'm assuming) that OP just wanted to post what he thought was a good deal and share it with ozb.
Employee vs "Store rep" status has been discussed extensively before
Once again, not talking about Ozbargains rules or what the mods here think. I'm talking about the employers. "Representing" your employer online without official approval from the marketing team would most likely breach an modern employment contract.
Personally I'd be putting the wishes of the company paying my bills ahead of what some mod on a website thinks.
A lot of companies you would need to run something past your media communications team before you posted. Perhaps this poster should have done exactly that.
