Moved to Forum: Original Link

Just found this deal on Kogan's online store, BenQ BL3201PT which is listed for $249 with postage being $9 Australia wide. I have my doubts as the same monitor retails for $1299 on Pccasegear so this might just be a pricing error.

Notable specs:
3840 x 2160 resolution
Display port 1.2 & mDP 1.2 (able to output 4K at 60Hz)
HDMI 1.4 x2
DVI-DL
IPS display technology with 4ms response time
brightness 350cd/m2
USB 3.0 x5
mini USB x1

CAD/CAM mode
Solid works certified

Mod: Price error confirmed see comment

    Would be pretty awesome if it wasn't a pricing error.

    I think they left a '1' off the start of the price. Definitely a massive pricing error.

    Is it worth to try to get one?

    LOL, someone left out the '1' in front.

    inb4 whingers who feel cheated because Kogan won't honour the pricing error.

      Unlike the Kogan Canon camera lens mug I don't think this one is getting honored.

      • CharcoaI on 10/02/2015 - 00:14

        I assume so - but the worst that happens is I get a full refund, so worth it for the chance/a laugh

          but the worst that happens is I get a full refund, with up to a week's delay in getting said refund

          Maybe Kogan's just trying to help Ozbargainers from spending their money by holding it for us?

        • tyler.durden on 10/02/2015 - 08:20

          @scrimshaw:

          and they earn interest while they are "processing" your return…

    Just think about how long it will take for you to get a refund if it is a pricing error.

  • codhopper on 10/02/2015 - 00:13

    7.4 Despite Our best efforts, on occasion it may be possible that a small number of the Products in Our range may be incorrectly priced on the Website. If We have made a mistake and a Product's correct price is higher than the price on the Website, We may either contact You before shipping to request whether You want to buy the Product at the correct price or cancel your Order. If a Product's correct price is lower than the stated price on the Website, We will charge the lower amount and send You the Product, or where the higher incorrect price has been charged, We will refund the price difference and send You the Product.

    This seems highly unlikely (unfortunately I CBF dicking around with Kogan to get a refund to even attempt it).

    got to be in it to win it, I once brought a holiday package at Disneyland for 5 nights inc tickets, breakfast and accommodation for $185. Disney ended up honouring it and we had a bargain holiday, was supposed to be $4185. you never know hey…..

  • Phoebus on 10/02/2015 - 00:20

    Dumdedum. They gonna see something is sus by the number of orders. If just a handful had ordered perhaps some might have actually shipped in the morning. I don't hold much hope.

    This is what's going to happen.

    1. Those who bought it are going to receive this email advising you of the pricing error.

    2. You 'may' receive a $20 gift card for orders over $50 as compensation.

    3. To those complaining that they aren't going to honour or it's not worth the time, quit whining, you
      missed out your chance on the $20 gift card, IF they decide to offer one.

    4. A bunch of people are going to complain that their refund wasn't given to them in due time and others will bring it to the consumer trading affairs and escalate to a claim etc. etc. Good luck and let us know how it goes

    5. If you're not going to use your gift card - Please private message me the code if you're not going to use it or post it here for others to use. THANK YOU ;)

    Thanks again :))

    This email was for the pricing error of Samsung Galaxy S4 for $431.99 which happened in 2013.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2015 - 01:18

      Maybe, but you have to be optimistic

      • browser on 10/02/2015 - 01:41
        +3

        There's optimistic, and then there's dreaming. :)

        They don't make 500% profit from these monitors, which means $249 is way below cost and clearly an error.

        Why would they honour a lost leading sale? There's a remote possibility that a company may let it go as a goodwill of guesture if it was a one off order, no way when their entire stock was depleted by the pricing error.

    For some reason this reminded me of the time some years ago a mate found an unbelievably low price on a large TV on eBay. He rushed to purchase it before anyone got it. When he received the item, he realised he hadn't read the description properly .. he instead received a perspex magnification sheet, which you place in front of your existing TV to make the screen look bigger..

    I hope one day the slip in a clause some where in their T&C to say that we reserve the right to offer you either a refund or a "store" credit for future purchases and or drag out their refunds say somewhere it will take yp to 90 days to review and another 30 days to process refund.. LOL

    • Gavman on 10/02/2015 - 09:18

      that would be illegal.. price error is the stores fault and a policy like that would be in breach of consumer protection laws.
