This BARGAIN was tucked away near the lifts on Level 4 at David Jones, Market Street, Sydney.

A bit of digging on the interwebs suggests this might be the cheapest price in the world at the moment. In the UK, they sell for around GBP10,500 and Stateside for around USD11,000. And this is genuine Aussie stock, so you don't have to fap about with mains power and/or plug conversions (mains power needed for the illuminated crystal side panels).

General product information here: http://www.waterford.com/london-desktop-bar

The Waterford "London" desktop includes:

  • 4 x leather coasters (a nice upgrade from the cardboard ones borrowed from the local RSL)
  • 1 x 33cm square metal drink tray with leather insert (doubles as a lapdesk for your notebook)
  • 1 x London Square Decanter (will easy hold a bottle of Aldi whisky)
  • 1 x London Round Decanter (and this for your Jack Daniels)
  • 2 x London Tumblers/DOFs (perfect for bourbon and Coke)
  • 2 x London Hi-Balls (Milo and milk has never looked classier!)

EDIT - Six (6) units in stock at 1.20pm 20Mar16
EDIT - Three (3) units in stock at 5.45pm 24Mar16

    Thanks for the notice OP, but this morning I couldn't afford the bus ticket to go in and pick it up so I guess I'll have to pass until I've saved up enough for the bus. If only they had free delivery this wouldn't be a problem.

      That is a tough news story mate. Yeah, I think the lack of free delivery killed it for a lot of people. Tempted to neg it out of existence myself.

      Just out of curiousity (with the <$100 2% and 5% rebate schemes) do they still pay $2 or $5 if you do a contactless payment ABOVE the $100 maximum? (ie tap w/ PIN)

          @sp00ker:

          Not many know DJ's return policy, You can return anything and get a full refund as long as you have the receipt, regardless of how used it is. If it's in tatters it probably wont get accepted but if you cause enough of a ruckus you can get it returned. If you don't have the receipt and they sell the item in store, they give you store credit.

      It let's people know that you are wealthy and that you have the funds available to show it.

      Often the owners of such items are in fact not wealthy due to buying items to demonstrate their wealth and good taste of course ;)

        FWIW, I'd never seen one until today. Surprisingly NOT over-the-top ostentatious, but actually rather classy and - dare I suggest - a little understated (if you flick the side panel lighting off). It's the sort of item you'd probably use/keep for decades. On a dollar/day basis, I've probably wasted far more money on TVs, gaming consoles etc which are now in landfill somewhere.

      On the upside, if you know someone who buys one of these bars then you can "borrow" one of the glasses and see if it fits in the Yaris cupholders. Hang on, those things HAVE cupholders, right?

      Probably not the cash register receipt, but you can normally ask the customer service desk for it

      It would be a bitch to carry in hand luggage though (I haven't seen how big it actually it). I doubt anyone would check this thing in…

      • [Deactivated] on 20/03/2016 - 20:21

        There is NO WAY you'd be hand-carrying this thing through. Each of the glasses, decanters etc is separately boxed (for obvious reasons) inside the master shipping box. The box is HUGE and would weigh well in excess of 10kg.
