    Have Kogan also marked up their prices during these sales previously? I actually have something I want but I've seen why people are so worried… :(

    • Michael15286 on 26/03/2015 - 02:05

      Kogan has. Most of these retailers have hiked up their prices in the past during these sales.

    • mskeggs on 26/03/2015 - 07:51
      +5

      Kogan has been pretty good previously. They did 11in macbooks for $500, 13in for $750, iphone 5c for $400 and iphone 5s for $550 in previous deals.

      • 5k on 26/03/2015 - 12:04

        Oh alright that sounds positive! I will be trying my luck then! Thanks

    While it'll generally be around normal price for most items, there'll be a couple of good deals popping up during the sale.

  • wtfnodeal on 26/03/2015 - 02:14

    Don't up vote the deal until that day I suggest. Nothing personal OP but like all others said be prepared for price hike.

    Hmm WD tv streaming for $139 at Officeworks ebay store. Less 20% makes it $111.40 delivered.
    Good for those that want Netflix (and the rest of features I love from these lil black boxes).

    Oh, and anywhere else is around $140/150 lately!

  • scyth3r on 26/03/2015 - 06:24
    +2

    Whats the reason for the price hikes? I though ebay covers the cost of the 20% so retailers would still receive the full price. So shouldn't they be raking in the money from all the purchases instead of hiking the price up and not having any sales?

    • leonheart1 on 26/03/2015 - 06:48

      Greed mostly.

      • scyth3r on 26/03/2015 - 07:06

        but they would make more sales and get profit if they left the price as it is. people aren't even buying the items with the price hike are they?

        • keyman on 26/03/2015 - 09:43
          +2

          They jack up the prices whilst still remaining a "bargain". So a $100 item should have been discounted to $80 but they'll jack up the price to $110 making the discounted price $88. Still a "bargain" but it is not as great as what it should be.

        • Lord Fart Bucket on 26/03/2015 - 11:57
          +4

          @keyman: But then you look around and you see that someone else is selling that item for $70 and you realise you'd getting screwed.

    • Ebany on 27/03/2015 - 12:48

      Recently Ebay has been hurting in sales, one of the reasons they tried to shutdown Facebook sell/swap/trade groups. They put mark-ups on everything, just look at Paypal increases over the years.

  • Lord Fart Bucket on 26/03/2015 - 07:07
    +9

    Meh. Looks like you'll be able to get something close to normal price now. For instance, DCS-933L is $129.95 on the DSE store, less 20% makes it still a crapload more that officeworks: $88.
    Another fine example is Canon SX520 from Teds, $369. It can be found for around $250-280 elsewhere.

    Most things can be found cheaper elsewhere: These aren't deals.

    • adumb on 26/03/2015 - 09:55
      +6

      Obviously not everything is going to be a deal, some will be over priced to begin with while some will put up their prices before the sale, but usually out of all those stores and all those items there very likely will be SOME actual bargains. Just need to wait and see.

  • loveagooddeal on 26/03/2015 - 07:14

    Woohoo I needed a new fridge/freezer, was gonna just order one this morning, then voila ozbargain saves the day! Now to wait a couple of days…

      As per the above mentioned comment from jv: check prices now to see if you're getting a deal. Also, check other retailers. These folks aren't the cheapest to begin with.

      • mr_fjackson on 26/03/2015 - 08:20

        I've not seen dell put up there prices before a sale, I bought an I3 laptop off Dell in one of the ebay sales for $300.

  • bauser99 on 26/03/2015 - 07:26

    Hi guys - I'm after a fridge from Appliances Online… how do I tell if it's listed under the category "Home Appliances (#20710)" ?!

    • Lord Fart Bucket on 26/03/2015 - 07:35

      Select the product, hover over the breadcrumbs in the top to see if that's the category, i think.

      • bauser99 on 26/03/2015 - 07:54

        At the top of the relevant product page it shows…

        Listed in category: Home Appliances>Refrigerators, Freezers>Refrigerators

    What's the point of having sales if everyone just puts their prices up. I was hoping to get a cheap laptop and galaxy s5 for a good price but I just had a look around and it seems everyone has put their prices up. Kogan are wanting $590 for the s5, where its 509 on their website. Futu online had some laptops for $295, now they're $320

    • Consumer Sheep on 26/03/2015 - 08:02

      It's to give the appearance that you're getting a good deal when you're really getting screwed over. You know, like the Liberal government.

  • sween64 on 26/03/2015 - 08:17

    It seems popular items are likely to have price hikes from certain retailers based on previous deals. You can usually find some deals within the categories. In Sept/Oct last year I was able to get a Breville Food Processor for $200 pick up at my local Good Guys. Cheapest elsewhere has always been $240.

  • ironworthy on 26/03/2015 - 08:20

    Galaxy note 4 is $788 right now at good guys. 20% off would be a steal. That's if they don't jack it up. It's meant to be that price till April 12

    HD 598 for $212.80

    I have the PC 363D and they're great quality.
    If you need the adapter to make it usable as a PS4 headset you're better off buying from their B&M store for $15.

    Looking for a universal remote for under $50, any recommendations. Have my eye on the Logitech Harmony 650 at the moment. Plus I just picked up a PS4 so perfect timing; hopefully there'll be some cheap games.

    • g12345567 on 26/03/2015 - 09:33

      Logitech Harmony 650 will be $43.12 delivered after 20% discount. From this retailer. Provided the price doesn't change.

      Unfortunately the 650 does not work with PS4 as like the PS3 it does not accept IR commands. Yet it is still a very good remote for all your other devices.

    Assuming current prices don't change & these items aren't excluded from the sale, TGG will have some good deals for Samsung devices, e.g.

    Samsung S 4 http://bit.ly/1GnTCIA $449 → $359.20 + $6.44 postage

    Samsung Note 4 http://bit.ly/1GnTZTB $788 → $630.40 + $6.44 postage

      Keep in mind that their tech sale ends on Saturday so it might change on Sunday.

      • kusala on 26/03/2015 - 13:21

        I can see there is tech sale ending Saturday on TGG's main online site, but I don't think this applies to their ebay store.

        The items I listed in my post above have these end of listing dates:

        • Samsung S 4: 05-Apr,12:36 AEST
        • Samsung Note 4: 31-Mar,15:36 AEDST

          By the way, the three items in my post above now display postage as $5 [not $6.44]

    • kusala on 29/03/2015 - 06:52

      Samsung S 4 price has increased to $478, meaning discounted price will now be $382.40 + $5.00 postage
