Riczter on 02/12/2015 - 20:51

Can anyone give me any advice on home audio? Need some speakers for the tv, and hoping to snag a bargain tomorrow, but don't know anything about the different models available, which ones are good and which ones to steer clear from… Anyone purchased any and can give their opinion on which models to look out for? Hoping to get a cut priced Logitech z906 but somehow doubt that these will be reduced. Probably just be old model soundbars and maybe a home theater pack if I get lucky.

Hopefully the eastern states professionals post the sales list before 9am open time here in WA ;)
- superforever on 02/12/2015 - 20:56
  
  They have LG sound bar for like $30 if you are lucky.

Should I line up at 9:00 tomorrow and will I be disappointed at the PVR sales? Will I see the same prices as yesterday? Only 30% off the good stuff? Waste a morning going there?
- Rodo on 02/12/2015 - 21:02
  
  Saw some good prices today on some PVRs. A Panasonic 1TB and LG 500GB were $29.95 and an Altech was $89. There might have been a few others heavily discounted too. But it seems like it was only old stock/models that have been heavily discounted. I was hoping to get a Topfield 7170 but it was only about 20% off RRP.

Are sales from day 1 and day 2 still on? that is, if items are still left at a store?
ShamelessBargains on 02/12/2015 - 21:02

I like to think these deals help people who need a new TV or phone and are not just all thrown up on eBay/Gumtree the next day.

Just think if they capped it to 1 TV per customer for example, then the scalpers would be pissed but people who need a TV would have a better chance.

I have decided not to go to DSE during these sorts of sales so people who actually need this stuff are able to get it.

A bargain is a bargain at the end of the day but it would be nice if some people had self-restraint and weren't piling TVs into their trollies and nagging poor staff who were not informed by head office about these sales.

I just hope DSE has a positive future as competition is great for the market.

    Should have seen the back room of the last store I went to near close! I'd say well over a hundred TV boxes. Although there was no real way to tell whether they were stockpiling TVs for themselves or orders awaiting collection.
    - GameChanger on 02/12/2015 - 21:37
      
      I can bet they're doing the deal today for friends.
      
      I know a guy who works at Apple that gives the stock to his family and friends a day earlier than release. And that with Apple strict policy. With Dicksmith they have no standards, staff will do as they please as really this sale is all about increasing cash flow and doesn't matter who is the buyer.
    - gottacatchemall on 02/12/2015 - 21:49
      
      I don't think they give a (profanity) which is fair to be honest. I spoke to a guy and he reckons they will shut down after they clear all stock which means he will lose his job.

I suspect the warranties on Dick Smith own branded goods are gonna be worth dick in about 3 months.
- Jayskies on 02/12/2015 - 21:22
  
  Warranties are warranties and have to be honoured under ACL for their entirety
  - Duff5000 on 02/12/2015 - 21:26
    
    But who would honor them if dse went bust? Wait in line with all the suppliers waiting to be paid only to get 10c in the $?

      If complications arise with DSE, it will be the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide warranty service.
      
      If it is a DSE branded item, DSE would be compelled to provide warranty service.

      @KaptnKaos:
      
      Ok, but if DSE no longer exist?
      
      If they were in receivership then you could co down as a creditor but it would be unlikely you would get much money back.
      
      You cant compel a business that doesnt exist to honor a warranty. I worked at a supplier to DSE years ago. The place went out of business, people that bought through dse could still get a refund them but people we sold to directly? No way. The business ceased operating, how would people we sold to get service or a refund when there is no business to chase?
  - [Deactivated] on 02/12/2015 - 21:28

    Precisely. Declaring the Business non-operative isn't a way out of warranty obligations. One of the business or the manufacturer must provide the necessary remedies if a warranty claim is made.

      Ok - let's take DSE branded ADSL line filters as an example.
      
      Made in China, imported by DSE.
      
      DSE fails - do you seriously think the Chinese manufacturer who has absolutely no business or contact details in Australia is going to honour the warranty?

      You would go down as an unsecured creditor and might get something if you are lucky.
      
      You are not going to get anything from a chinese manufacturer. Even if they did for some reason agree to fix your tv are you going to pay the shipping? I doubt it.

      Are you for real? What is the cost to send a TV back to China and back to Australia again? $1000 maybe and you want to spend this to fix a $300 TV? LOL and this is only if you can convince a manufacturer who you don't know to accept warranty when they are still likely owed money by DSE.

Stafford only had a select number of items on clearance. Some good laptop deals, but maybe only display stock. I think they're slowly increasing the number of clearance lines, so better to check each day now

  I didn't see much at Stafford today. There were still a few decent PS4 games, but no GTA5 which is what I was after. Guy working there was extremely helpful and friendly.
  
  Went to the Chermside store for the first time, and was surprised at how small the place was compared to the rest of the shopping centre.
  
  Went to the Brookside store, and that was a complete waste of time. Had literally nothing. About 10 copies left of the same PS4 game….can't remember what it was, but it was an ordinary one.
  
  Went to North Lakes yesterday, and the staff there were excellent. Thought about going back today to see if they had any TV's, but it's too far to bring back nothing.
  
  Called Morayfield, and they were absolutely shocking. I'm pretty sure the woman was about to have a nervous breakdown. "We have no Tv's for sale here". "All the other stores are having a sale, BUT WE AREN'T!!!"
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if there are some bargains to be had there in the next couple of days if Head Office decides to slash and burn everything because I doubt they have sold much thus far….
  
  Called Maroochydore because one of Dick's stores said there might be a JVC 50 incher for $59 there, but he said that they had nothing. That would have been quite the dilemma. Is it worth driving 1000 miles for a 50 inch Tv that might not be there when I arrive?
  
  Called Strathpine, and he pretty much told me not to bother coming in because there was nothing of note on special. He'd obviously been asked 1000 times about cheap Tv's by that point, and had the answer down pat.
  
  Tried calling Mt Gravatt because one of the stores said that they might have a 42 inch home brand TV for $29. Never got through. Obviously phone off the hook all day, and too far to drive for nothing.

      No, I only bought one thing. Pretty much a complete waste of time that I won't be repeating again!
      
      Edit - You'd think that some of the stores out west would have some massive bargains, but I haven't seen anything posted on here. I remember when Dick's had a PS3 clearance a few years back, I got my brother to pick up a bunch of stuff from Dalby because he was working out there. They had tons of stuff still in stock when all the Brisbane stores were long sold out.

      @cnut: Not at all, mate. I called the closest store to me yesterday and the guy I was speaking with on the phone told me there were only two left in the whole of Adelaide and they're in the Marion store. When I got there the bastard behind the counter told me they're sold out. When I told him that I called another store just a moment ago and I was told there were two in his store, he told me they were on-hold and have already been paid for (that's despite that no on-hold were allowed on these deals). Good for you, lucky folks. Enjoy.

      @AussieDaddy: That sounds like BS. I don't think people can pay over the phone. Probably employees keeping them.

      @cnut: All the receipts that were posted here were from other states and as far as I know (at least TGG), their price matching policy is that the sale should be local and that it shouldn't be a clearance (like what DSE is doing now) so I didn't bother to look for a price match, really.
      
      PS: Yeah, I could sense that the store guys probably had the cameras in stock at the moment but didn't want to sell them. Those prices were insane and the lucky people were those who got them early in the day. Once the staff realized the crazy deals they decided to keep as much better stuff as possible, I think. Well, I can't blame as I would have done the same thing if I were in their position, to be honest.

      @AussieDaddy: Yeah same here probably. I kinda feel sorry for them too. Not only do they have to put up with countless repetitive questions (and some abuse by the sounds of it) but also have to sit there without being able to get the bargains themselves.
      
      I almost feel like they deserve to get some good stuff themselves.

      @cnut: Nope, I saw some people today picking up a TV they placed on hold over the phone.

  If you can find a 48 foot TV in stock I'll be impressed.

Will the prices increase by 80% a minute before midnight like they do on ebay? That is the question.

Besides those 73 selfie sticks. They're going to be protected. My precious…

      Maybe! lol
      
      PS: I have been to the Marion one yesterday, looking for the Canon 7d Mark ii, but the guy at the desk told me they were sold out (though when I called West lakes I was told only the Marion store had two of them). Went to the West Lakes and Glenelg stores today and didn't find anything worthy on sale.

  Chullora is massive though. Wouldn't they have heaps of stock and the most up to date price signs because they are head office?
  
  ACT stores have a dozen small tvs on display if we are lucky.

This was posted 8 years 4 months 16 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
