        Probably sold to staffs in that case I guess, or one person bought 23?

        • Frantic on 25/06/2015 - 14:19

          Prolly, who knows.. or someone grabbed some last night. I was there as the shutters went up and went straight to the phone counter. Figured there would be at least two or I would of sprinted ahead of the guy in front :) He got one and that was it.. another bloke then queued up who also wanted one. Some others went for the toys..

        To sell some for a profit on eBay obviously. Why else would people be buying say 10 of them.

        Although the sale terms specifically states 1 per customer. These staff selling multiple units to people are failing that.

          must be the same folks who were there when they had games going for 3$ selfish people. I would be happy to get one. But at this rate there would be nothing left by lunch time:(

    Needed a cheap phone for Dad. BigW at Brisbane city was sold out. Went to OfficeWorks got the Optus Locked one for $29 (http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/m20ProductDisplayView?cat…)

    To Unlock Optus for free:
    Used my TPG number (runs on Optus) to unlock it at https://secure-unlock.com.au/ou/launch

    • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 10:59

      I tried for that site to try unlock my Optus Lumia 530 and it keeps saying it's not a locked device which is plain wrong. It worked first go for an Optus Sony Xperia E1 prepaid which I also bought recently for $49.

    • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 11:06

      Nope I just tried again this time using my amaysim number (runs through Optus) and it's still saying not a locked Optus prepaid mobile.

  • amberd23 on 25/06/2015 - 11:02

    Bought 2 this morning at Southland Vic - Parkmore and Karingal both sold out.

  • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 11:10

    For what I've been reading on this thread there's very limited stock supply at stores that even currently have any in stock. Typical they start a sale but have insufficiently available stock when it actually starts.

      • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 12:39

    Officeworks will price match for me .

    • Wally on 25/06/2015 - 18:31

      what did you provide for them to match against?

    Big W in Melb city only got 12 in. They don't do rainchecks either. Complained as bait advertising to get you in store.

    • PainToad on 25/06/2015 - 15:10

      I think 12 is a fair amount and definitely not bait and switch.

        12 is a pitiful amount for a city like Melbourne.

    • jprockbelly on 26/06/2015 - 13:56

      hmmmmm I should have read these comments before I went down there.

      Dude said they all sold yesterday morning. 12 is FA for that store, should have had 120 at least.

  • nancynobody on 25/06/2015 - 15:37

    So I had tried my luck at getting officeworks to price match, but they (all three stores I tried) were too savvy for my liking.

    Then I just tried calling various local big w stores and was told what you guys were told - sorry sold out. But the I called STRATHPINE BIG W. Apparently a memo went out telling big w stores that once the 530 sold out that they could offer the 532 at the same price. Yesssss. I thought it too good to be true, so I loaded the baby in the car, drove 20 minutes up the road and was surprised when I got my 532 for $19 (plus the $20 unlock fee on ebay).

    So go hit up your local stores and DEMAND they give you a 532 instead.

  • tofu on 25/06/2015 - 15:38

    according to posts above, stores that sold out still showing as 'In Stock' on their website?

    • dreamerman on 25/06/2015 - 15:42

      Yeah, says "low stock"

    • nancynobody on 25/06/2015 - 16:01

      Yeah, had that problem all day. Even a store that supposedly had stock were completely sold out.

  • SHPION on 25/06/2015 - 20:56

    don't hurry spending $20 on ebay.
    I found some guys who may unlock it for about $6. I paid and waiting for their response in 24 hours.
    it's unlock-code-store.com
    don't rush on them as well, lets wait if I can have unlock code.

    A member of our unlock team is currently calculating your unlock code and will contact you by email at your paypal registered email address {don't look here}@gmail.com within 24 hours.

      They're the same guys who claimed on their web site they could unlock my Optus Nokia Lumia 530 which they failed at miserably. All i can say is not genuine. Don't hold your breath you will get no where with it.

      ps. This might give you a hint. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/196561?page=1#comment-2796…

      • SHPION on 25/06/2015 - 21:29

        • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 21:32
          +2

          They will fail. And they will not automatically supply a refund but you'll have to initiate a Paypal dispute. It's not a legit unlocking service.

          At least the $20 deal on eBay has a real chance of supplying an unlock code due to the high positive feedbacks. This other mob is no chance. You get what you pay for.

        • hollykryten on 25/06/2015 - 21:49

          You will need a Paypal dispute.

          The next email you will get in about a day later from a Benjamin claiming that the system wasn't able to automatically generate an unlock code and asking for further information to be entered into a form. And then another day later another email saying that they were unable to generate a code claiming that your details will be forwarded to an accounts team for a refund which never comes. It's all a scam to drag it out for days hoping then you'd forget about it.

        • SHPION on 26/06/2015 - 09:26

      Can you upload the receipt so can ask other BigW for the 532 instead?
      I bought one his morning and my colleague also want one for his dad but sold out at Southland, if he told me I could have grab one for him this morning so if he can get the 532 instead for the same price then that would be great.

    Called Geelong, Vic. Still no stock and no 532 replacement being offered. Told to wait and see, at the mercy of the supplier.
