Seems to be a decent price for a selfie stick with Bluetooth (so you don't need to use your smartphone's self-timer). Most on eBay are upwards of $20.

These things are a sad indictment on the human race. When i first saw them, i thought a group of teenage girls were checking out a new golf club.
The selfie stick will prove to be the 21st centuries invention that solely centres around the new world religion, the worship of narcissism. It should really be known as the Kardashian Klicker.
Kardashian Klicker
damn 3 beers and i almost read that wrong
Not hat i care , but i Cant believe im getting negged for the above comment… Unless the neggers are teenage girls?
But you cared enough to make a second post to complain.
A stick that makes it slightly easier to take photos of yourself is an indictment of the entire human race? Maybe you're just getting old. Not that I want one of these things.
Omg lol rofl… u need to be taking a lot of pix of yoself to need 1 of these…and u need to think ppl wanna c a lot of pix of yoself in the 1st place, yo.
Foreal, fosho.
Thanks for proving my point.
Ever wanted to take a photo/video with your kids so you can relive the moment? And for your kids to have cherished photos together with their mummy and daddy long after theyre gone? Don't be so quick to judge people.
The stereotypical selfie is sad and narcissistic. It conjures up images of teen girls self-obsessed doing duck face poses into the camera, at the bus, on a train, at the bar,… everywhere.
BUTA 'selfie stick' carries the stigma because it has the word selfie in it, but something that is more portable than a tripod, and lets you take happy snaps while on holiday without having to risk asking a stranger to take the photo? That's not really that sad.
I must admit, I first saw a selfie stick while on holiday and thought it was 'sad' or funny, but it's no more ridiculous than umbrellas were originally thought to be when they first came out.
pretty funny
+1 just because selfie stick
What's a selfie?
Its a photo of onesie
To be honest I have yet to see being used alone by themselves. I have only seen them used in groups touring chinatown by chinese tourist.
$12 on ebay and you dont need to step into an aldi
okay so this is how it goes..
Order from eBay. 1-5 weeks later… It arrives. Post man will give you a "sorry you werent home slip". You go to the post office to collect it, they will say it's not there, wait tommororw. Go in tomrow collect it.
Whilst you can go to aldi and buy it.
Yes I live above an aldi's. As well as coles.
xD
Nope
420 Lane?
It's been renamed Rank St since Turd moved in.
you go to Aldi and your local Aldi store is sold out or doesn't stock it.
On the rare chance you find it sold out, check after 4-5 days. All the impulse buyers will be soon returning theirs. You buy it, like it, keep it .. you don't like it, go back, return it!
not to mention waiting in the only line that is open, just to buy one thing!
factor in the loss of ones dignity while waiting in line and the ebay suggestion seems even better
@TightBottom:
If you don't need it asap i would also suggest ebay. Its a nice little surprise when things turn up after having long forgotten you've bought one.
Waiting for postage is annoying, but at least I'm not sitting at my front door waiting, buying from aldi feels like 1-5 weeks in line waiting at checkout, with nothing to do other than staring at oldies trying to read the price of an item.
Get it sent to an Auspost Parcel Collect address. Pick up anytime within 10 business days.
If it's a small item, get it sent to a Parcel Locker. You only have two days to collect but you can do it at any time of the day or night.
Almost everything that I buy off eBay uses Australia Post for delivery, as does most standard international shipping when it enters the country (not priority/express), so these options work for almost all of my online shopping.
Pacific Square
Quite a few sellers on ebay selling cheaper than this delivered, from Australian sellers.
Guess it was a matter of time i suppose
so you don't need to use your smartphone's self-timer).
So you don't need a friend to take photos of you for you.
B-b-but..

@turnip, mother's day present sorted ;-)
The trouble is you still need a free hand to hold it. Not ideal if you need both hands to do something else.
Who needs friends when you have Selfie Stick?
It also might provide "comfort" in other ways on those lonely nights.
Hopefully the handle is ribbed for the users pleasure.
Might actually get this! Assuming I can wake up so early to get one.
Thanks OP
I got one the other day and my family LOVES it!
I also found out that my Samsung Galaxy S4 has voice recognition for taking selfies, so when any of us say "Smile" it takes the picture - works 99% of the time! (Therefore I don't need the bluetooth option)
Next time I see people on the streets trying to take photos I'm going to try saying smile over and over :D
But how do you duckface selfie if you have to say smile?
I know you can say it. just try it:)
Saving 14.99 because I use the "Outstreched Arm" …
What about T-Rex?
Ask the selphysaurus. 😁
ohhhhh Dad get off the computer!!
pity the T-Rex in Family Guy
Not sure about others, but it seems quite embarrassing to use, especially in crowded places like Darling Harbour.
you can use it to hit the people that find you embarrassing
There some places where these are banned

$14.50 from eBay, Sydney Seller. Not bluetooth, but uses the headphone jack on your phone. NO charging or syncing required!
I am Asian, so I guess I can get one right? :P
Hurray for all of us narcissistic (profanity) XD
I only discovered these existed recently when I saw people using them at the night noodle markets last year.
I took photos of them from a distance in fascination… it was like observing animals at the zoo :P
I'm so meta that I take photos of the ones taking photos of selfie-sticks.
Then I post them to Reddit, tip my fedora and call people m'lady and stuff.

aahhhh…the good old narcissistick…
Old lady called us out for using the selfie stick whilst taking photos of the giants. Geez, how can you miss taking a photo of a giant. It's an effin giant!
Fyi, selfie sticks are banned in museums, and Korea.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/311211464819 is where I bought my selfie stick with blutetooth remote shutter. It was $8.22 delivered then, now it's $9.18. Took 3 weeks to arrive. The bluetooth works! Tested on Moto G and Xperia Z.
It's like they are fishing for camera thieves.
just in time before the big MCG match
How horrible that single travelers and introverts that don't want to ask others to take photos of them would want to take photos of themselves on trips - that they should be shamed into being called narcissists by others for using this device.
The trust narcissists are the ones who got into the whole circlejerk of calling them narcissisticks. Publicly stroking your ego by making fun of what's actually a pretty good piece of kit for their own self gratification is pretty much the definition of what a narcissist is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NarcissismSeriously, either get one if you need/want one or don't. Who the F cares.
Rock on little buddy, keep taking your selfies proudly
Just the grumblings of people who think the youth of today are the downfall of humanity. Thoughts that have been echoed by older generations over and over for centuries. Nothing to see here.
no matter how many selfies you take, you will never be seen in more photos than the selfie stick… lol
I miss Karen Gillan in Selfie.
I bought one in Phillip Island and it only cost me $8 and that was tourist attraction area.
Do you mean when you were holding the selfie stick, you became another new tourist attraction at Phillip Island? :P
We bought one in Singapore last year for SGD $3, pretty much the same as this just without bluetooth. We were in Universal Studios then and most people have selfie sticks, we got curious so we bought one. :)
What's so bad about selfie sticks? The missus and I are going to Disneyland in May. We hate taking pictures because of a) you have to be asking people to take photos of you and they either aren't very good or you like to take lots of photos and you have to bother lots of people, and b) if we do it ourselves, one of us has to take the picture and the other is in frame.
So for us, a selfie stick is pretty good. We don't bother anyone, we can take as many photos as we want, we frame it the way we like it and it's always going to be both of us in the pictureWhat's so bad about that?
Until you're trying to take a photo and can't because 100 sticks are in the way
Riiight….
Have you travelled to a theme park in Asia? If not, when you do you'll realise how PITA these are.
I went to Disneysea and Universal Studios in Japan a few months ago. Can honestly say I had 0 times where someone else annoyed me with one. I could tell you a few times where I could have used one though,
@mrrizzle: that's handy. The worst for me was the singapore aquarium because you've got limited room and they're constantly in the way, unlike say universal studios which at times was PITA, but a lot of the time you're taking a photo of something 20m tall so all good.
Or maybe I'm upset my height advantage goes to 0 when other people have a big stick :)
@rochow: To be honest, I'd rather dodge a selfie stick, if even that, rather than have 50 people ask me to take a photo of them on their camera. :)
LOL New Years Eve 2016… just a landscape of sticks in the air (with fireworks going off in background, which everyone is ignoring, because selfie sticks!!1!!1!)
I've been highly amused by the constant cultural shifting of (or flocking to) certain tech/gadgets. I recall being at Sydney Harbour for one NYE years ago, and the very moment the fireworks started, a wall of iPads shot up in the air, being held up with outstretched arms as high as possible… snapping away. Gone was the era of cameras and camera phones. Instead I sat there with my view pretty much blocked by all these little screens, which wasn't too bad.. at least I could still watch the bridge action via their iPad screens.
Yes! iPads are the worst because that take up a ton of room, hard to shoot around.
Next NYE you should probably go with paintball gun, then snipe at the viewer's backs while hidden in a nearby bush and see how many tablet displays you can shatter/splatter before the fireworks end :)
Completely agree. A phone is one thing, but a freaking iPad???
Besides, I know I wouldn't take a selfie stick to a massive event, I like to be considerate with the rest. Hell, I hate people taking photos at a concert, specially when you got tickets for GA Standing.
I think, like with everything in life, it's just a thing of having common sense and being respectful to the one next to you.I remember being at an IMAX screening of Titanic 3D, and some people took out their phones and started taking photos of the screen as the ship was sinking!!!! Bloody idiots, not only was annoying, but how good the photos could be? You needed 3D glasses otherwise it would look blurry!!!
Good news everyone. Now you can block all the vision:

I always thought a Selfie was how you have sex when you are on your own. So a Selfie stick is something you use to make it feel like someone else is doing it?
not a deal :P
got a free one from Kogan….Selfie sticks symbolise everything that is wrong with todays society.
Me! Me! Me!
sweet.
i will get one
After holidaying in Malaysia recently and seeing so many of these, I started to think I was odd for not having one… That was until I got knocked up the side of the head by some self absorbed douche swaying it about. In a tour up petronas tower dodging 6 couples swinging these things about, all I could think was, the sooner they ban these things here, the better.
And big upvote for "narcissistick"
We will soon have quadrotor drones that fly off your wrist and in front of you to take selfie videos.
Hope you don't mind taking a hit in the eye from one of those quadrotor props spinning at 1600RPM…
Your wish just came true :-) It is getting banned in many places…

Meh, if you're the type of person to want to capture memories from a camera phone. Then this suits you.
