Dick Smith is clearing out the ipad mini 3. In store Spotted this at Melbourne Emporium. Those prices are much better than the current price for the mini 2. Price for the 128gb wifi and cellular versions are $398 and $577 respectively. Stores I was able to check with stock around Melbourne are Emporium, Bourke St, Vic Gardens (16gb only) Fountain Gate.

David Jones stores also sell at similar price. Bourke St store seemed to have a few 16gb left. They sold the 16gb cellular at $328, the 64gb wifi at same price of the 16gb and I grabbed the only one left.
Woolies is also doing 10% bonus on DS gift card so you might save another 9% on these price. Similarly for David Jones but bear in mind that their card take up to 48hr to be activated, but you can always pay by credit card first and come back do a return and repurchase with the gift card.

    16GB Cellular @ 328 or 348, also was it at emporium or bourke street for 328 ?

    Good luck finding one. I only found one store within driving distance with one in stock. They unsurprisingly wouldn't hold it for me.

    The 16GB was actually $268.

    • Rifraf on 26/12/2015 - 20:12

      Considering the cellular are cheaper than refurb, I'd have to disagree

    • lgacb08 on 26/12/2015 - 20:38

      if you look at the market for small tablets, you gotta be realistic, especially since google pulled out of the market after the Nexus 7 ii, leaving only Samsung and Apple, there won't be much of a choice. And since Apple is doing the dirty trick of selling only the latest and the 2 generation behind devices, this is the best price you can get.

    • nuchalis on 26/12/2015 - 20:39

    Personally, I simply wouldn't bother attending DSE after hearing about a special in here (Ozbargains) as any time I have I've never found a store with stock.
    My time is too valuable to me to chase mist and DSE bargains continue to be ethereal

    • ChillBro on 26/12/2015 - 20:58

      Agreed. Last time I spent hours trying to buy a pebble time steel that they advertised in their catalogue and gave up after going to two stores and calling several more.

      16gb……..
      I think dick smith are releasing cheap ipads on par with the availabity of unicorn meat ……

      get some chatter so people come through the door and hopefully pick up something else like over priced HDMI cables.

      If they want my respect …… go to apple, ask for 1000 ipad 2 or 3 killer deals, do it as click and collect.

      Anything else is baiting to get some traffic in the door and not die a slow death while they try and move their over priced stock.

      If Harvey norman have enough for their customers to list their ultra cheap Samsung S5 online and show stock and allow click n collect …… why can't dick smith have the same respect for their customers and show the ipad stock and do click and collect …..

She said they still have stock of the 128gb cellular in all colours as well as some of the other models.

    Just a reminder that DSE don't allow change of mind. So be careful with any purchase.

    I received the most terrible customer service in DSE Huntsville today. When I inquired about their return policy, the shop assassinate made laugh of me in front of other customers. Thanks to him, the other customers enjoyed a good boxing day at the pain of me. Compared with JB HIFI, DSE should feel shameful.

    So be careful folks.

      They say they don't, but they actually do. I've returned a couple of things (unopened) no problem. Probably depends who you speak to.

      • Sevenofnine on 27/12/2015 - 06:24

        Agreed… worse they could do was a DSE gift card/store credit.
        I returned two things today, no problems.

    • AssociatedPharos5 @ Dick Smith / Kogan on 27/12/2015 - 14:23

      I would say 99% of the time staff will refund change of mind if it's unopened and within 2 weeks.

      I'm looking at the timestamp for your post and it appears that you attempted to return something for change of mind on boxing day, literally the busiest day of the year.

    • AjsGuns on 27/12/2015 - 13:03

      That isn't cellular just wifi, which is $398 at DSE. Considering a refurb from Apple is $559 for the 128gb WIFI I'd say its a pretty good deal. Grabbed a 16gb Cellular for $348, some dude grabbed 3 right after me at around 11am at Melbourne Emporium, apparently there was 8 in stock so should be a few left.
      Cheers OP.

  • JohnSy on 27/12/2015 - 12:56

    Some might be interested to know that Officeworks online are doing ipad mini 2 16gb for $299 which is cheaper than any other.

    It's probably already been mentioned but ipad mini 3 is officially discontinued and only differs to the mini 2 because of touch id.

    There weren't any 16 or 64 left in wifi. Seemed pretty confident they had stock in all other combos. Didn't ask numbers.

      • lostn on 29/12/2015 - 19:36

        I was hoping they would get creative like "New iPad Mini".

        Just looked at their current lineup. Looks like a by the numbers upgrade. Same thing, new processor. And 3D touch perhaps. I don't know how they manage to continue getting people to upgrade.

        • CVonC on 30/12/2015 - 00:54

          @CVonC:

          Apple, the new Nintendo.

          So they make cheap Fisher Price quality hardware?

        • lostn on 06/01/2016 - 17:00

          @Cheap Charlie: iPad Air Mini would have been a natrual fit. I think they will reserve that branding when they get to Mini 9. Or they might start using the S denomination to make it last twice as many years.

          Pretty soon Samsung will have to stop using the S line too. S7 this year, S9 in 2 years. If they continue it, it will eventually be Galaxy S17 which will sound ridiculous.

          I predict after iPad Mini 9, they will call the next one iPad Air Mini, then Air Mini 2, Air Mini 3, etc. Or Air Mini S, Air Mini 2, Air Mini 2S, Air Mini 3, etc..

          Eventually iPhone Air also, when the numbers get too high on that.

  • Sika on 28/12/2015 - 16:06

    • lgacb08 on 28/12/2015 - 16:37

      yes, they will sell the 3 again once they release the mini 5, as they've been doing this dirty trick now (only selling the latest and a 2 generation behind version at the same time to maximise profit).
