          @dojomojo: correcting spelling is a waste of time. The person usually doesn't make the connection with the "new" word.

      • phazor on 26/03/2015 - 01:57
        +13

        You sure it's 20% more? I noticed a lot of their products just have $10-20 more in cost, and they have free standard shipping, while the site's shipping is normally $16-20 for me for a component, it seems to be covering the general shipping cost from what I've seen, and then there's their usual 3% credit card surcharge.

        Although it does suck if you want more than 1 item now that I think about it, so their method of pricing still sucks on ebay.

        • Lukian on 28/03/2015 - 20:03
          +2

          Most products I looked at were an average of 10% more (eg. bundling 'free shipping' into the cost, and the ~9% of ebay and paypal fees).

      • get-innocuous on 26/03/2015 - 08:58
        +3

        Their ebay includes shipping while their website doesn't, and their shipping costs are quite high. But they did mark up prices by about 10% by the looks of things. Pity, just bought a Ducky keyboard from them, would have been nice to save a little bit.

        • turbodude on 26/03/2015 - 11:23
          +5

          not surprising as eBay charges 9.9% fees.

        • JimmyF on 26/03/2015 - 11:35
          +6

          Sell via their own web store… 0% fees on sale…. sell via ebay that 10% fee on sale, another 2.5% on paypal payments… yet SHOCKED they mark up ebay store by 10%!

      • Checkboy on 26/03/2015 - 09:09

        Yep, majority of the items are more expensive on their eBay store. Although there are a couple of products that are cheaper on their eBay store (as well as having free shipping)

      • Grimezy on 26/03/2015 - 09:48
        +6

        Well for what I'm after it'll be cheaper with the 20% off still.

        For example:
        EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB - $835 Posted from the website will come down to $700 posted with the 20% off on ebay.

        Considering the same card costs ~$807 posted from Amazon.

      • blueskittles on 29/03/2015 - 12:14
        +1

        It looks like they incorporated eBay/Paypal fees and added shipping so they can offer free shipping, since they charge freight on everything on their website. I imagine this is so that they can jump on the free shipping train. Their prices are still the most competitive, plus better customer service than MSY/Centrecom which is my other options locally. 20% plus 2% cash back is still really damn good. Picking up a new Ducky today I think!

      • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 30/03/2015 - 19:27

        theyre NOT 20% more.

        Especially for Kingston Hyper X Fury which is $92 delivered

        as opposed to $99

        Which means since they only have one outlet you save ~$6 by ordering through their ebay store even if you live next door…

        Who knew being lazy could pay off?

    • whitty on 26/03/2015 - 01:51

      20% off after 20% increase would still be 4% discount.

      • ironworthy on 26/03/2015 - 08:28

        GG's price is meant to last till April 12. As I recall from last 20% off promo they were the only one that didn't jack up price and people were able to get a deal

        • akula on 26/03/2015 - 10:17

          I hope TGG doesn't jack up the price of note 4. :(

        • dmiser on 26/03/2015 - 15:18

          I agree and hence why I bought a Panasonic compact Digital Camera then.

      • raspudala on 26/03/2015 - 11:16

        According to TGG tech sales promotion it will end on Saturday, this deal starts on Sunday so I'm afraid we miss on good price. Was looking of getting S5 myself.

        • ironworthy on 26/03/2015 - 11:24

          on what product? the note 4? on the main website it says it's that price till April 12. I think they will either pull the model from ebay or keep it at that price, I don't think they'll jack it up. We'll see I guess

        • raspudala on 26/03/2015 - 11:48

          @tchi6:

          S5, offer ends on 28 of March. For some reason Note 4 ends on 12 of April, so for those after note you might be lucky.

    • aarick on 28/03/2015 - 13:59

      It's 20% up to $500. So should be $500*0.8 + 288 = $688
      But minus $15.76 from CashRewards should bring it to $672.24

      • justcallmeboss on 28/03/2015 - 15:28
        +3

        I thought it meant up to savings of $500

        their website is fine, their eBay store is not.

While I don't dispute what you've stated I do have a good friend who eventually gave up their Ebay store due to the continued rate rises.

        • Diji1 on 29/03/2015 - 10:25

      • freefall101 on 28/03/2015 - 15:34

        • Utopian on 29/03/2015 - 11:19

          True, but the market dictates the price.

          "Greedy sellers" take the extra buyers are willing to pay.

    • Ebany on 27/03/2015 - 12:43

      Yes. Harvey Norman is a classic example.

      They will do a "huge" sale off the "ticketed price". They simply raise that ticketed price prior to the sale.

      I once went shopping for a couple of split system aircons at HN and, having found the ones I wanted, decided to come back in a few days when the massive "20% off all air-cons" weekend sale started. Had trouble finding them even though they had over 300 in stock, turns out they had raised the ticketed price by 28% which threw me off the trail. Purchasing them on the special would have cost me more than I would have paid a few days prior. They reduced the price back to the original from a few days ago (without any discount), didn't even look guilty when the sales person explained that this was how it had always been done.
