Not sure if this should be a posted deal, or a thread here as it was just a personal haggle (not that it required much haggling).

Had a receipt from another forums member for BES920/SmartGrinder for $1198 (hell of a price).

Using that as leverage got the fancy shmancy Breville BES980 coffee machine today at Myer for 25% off (RRP is $2499). As far as I know noone has got it below RRP before, so this is quite a price. I also get about $40 gift cards through Myer One. (if only I'd had some 10% bonus gift cards to buy it with, still, this way I get an extra years warranty through my visa card.

They also offered the BES920 / Smart Grinder combo for $1240.

Also got the Sunbeam EM6910 / EM0440 grinder combo for $470 (for my girlfriend).

  That's a good deal. What did you do to get it? Would you be able to send me a copy of the receipt? Thanks.

  Just made my first coffee with all settings as out of the box. My beans are about 8 weeks past roasting date, so not very fresh (though they are from a roasting house) and geeez this thing made a fantastic coffee. With fresh beans and getting the setting right it will be incredible.

  I have to add I'm not a coffee expert and my former machine was a Jura Ena Micro 9 One Touch which is an easy auto coffee maker and I thought made an OK coffee. Been trying with a Subeam 6910 manual I got for my girlfriend and that is pretty difficult after an auto. I can see a manual would take lots of coffees to get the hang of. This BES980 popped one out that rivalled a good cafe coffee first pop.

  Hey…Thanks for that. Think I'll get it with that saving.

  To get that deal I rocked up and said 'what's your policy on price matching - and I mean serious price matching?' as I had a receipt for the BES920/Smart Grinder for $1198 from a user on Coffeesnobs forum. They said as long as it's not below cost price and got close at $1240 which I might have gone for but on an impulse I also asked about this machine, thinking they might say no deal or maybe $50-100 off (as they had specifically excluded it from a Super Saturday 15% off day). I was pretty gobsmacked by the price they offered so jumped and I'm not sorry as the auto function makes this manual machine easy to start with.

  how'd you get the sunbeam 6910 combo for $470?? do you have the receipt?

  • 

    wfdTamar on 21/05/2014 - 07:27

    Same thing. Might have helped that I bought the Breville one at the same time, but I've seen the Sunbeam for $490 I think somewhere since so $470 isn't much of a stretch. If I remember I'll post the receipt (don't have it handy).

  Are you able to rescan the receipt with better detail?

  brendenkoh on 14/09/2014 - 00:10

  I too would really love to see a better price on the BES980.

  If you have a copy of the reciept in a bit better quality that would be greatly appreciated too.

  Anyone else manage to find a good deal on this machine? Harvey Norman had it for $2050 on sale the other day. The girl told me that is the lowest that it would ever go as it was their cost price.

  Hi leewsimpson, what Harvey Norman store did you see the Oracle on sale for $2050? thanks!

  anyone else got a great deal recently? any feedback on the machine?

  It was Aspley, Brisbane. The marked price was still $2499 but $2050 was the price they quoted me when I asked.

  $1999 at David Jones for March 2015.

  And that's without any haggling or begging.
