      It would have been a good deal if it was a Digital Radio and not analogue AM/FM

      • c0balt on 24/03/2016 - 14:31

        But this has a Sony logo on it, which costs ~$20 when it's on an AM/FM clock. So this guy actually profited 1 dollar.

        That's how all of this works, yeah?

    The votes would be pretty even if the 30+ negatives were not revoked. This post is exactly the same as the Dick Smith sale post that has 65+/65-. Both posts followed good Sony/Dick Smith sales, however this is the one that has negatives revoked for reasons that aren't good enough.

          Well you did choose to argue with me until I pointed out you incorrectly negged for deceptive pricing.

          I did report it, and nothing happened because certain people get free passes.

          Choose to do what ever you like.

          Just to clarify: I think certain people do deserve to be held in higher regard to others. You and TA have both put in a lot of time posting great deals and informative comments (you can look at my voting history to see how many times I have upvoted your deals and comments) and deserve to have that recognised. It's just when the things like this happen that I think no one should get treated differently.

    • c0balt on 24/03/2016 - 14:37

      Don't give up getting your cashback from CR - it took me 5 months to get mine.

      I put in a ticket and sent the invoice on 22/10/15 and just got a reply on the 21/3/16.

      I actually forgot about it and wouldn't have corresponded with CR a week after putting in the support ticket, but the money did finally get put into my account - after 5 months.

      • KOBH on 24/03/2016 - 14:52

        Hope they do pay up in 5 months time, but I won't hold my breath after I read their FAQ page.

        http://www.cashrewards.com.au/faq

        "
        I want to claim for Missing Cashback, but my purchase was more than 60 days ago?

        If it is over 60 days since your purchase, then we are unable to investigate your claim.

        This is because, in our terms with stores we have agreed to only follow up on claims for purchases within the previous 60 days.

        If, however, you wish to claim because your transaction has recently been disallowed or declined by the store (i.e. your Cashback has been declined or crossed out and replaced with zero) – but your purchase is now over 60 days old, then under our terms we are able to accept your claim and look into this on your behalf.If this is the case please submit a claim despite the purchase having occurred more than 60 days ago. Some stores however will not accept enquiries on transactions that have been declined and in this case we will be unable to investigate further and will be unable to claim Cashback for you on transactions from these stores. Stores with a 'no enquiry policy' are displayed on the 'special terms' section on the store's page on the Cashrewards website.

    Pretty great prices on Z3 covers ($9 delivered). These are normally insanely expensive, and there aren't many good cheap alternatives.
    There are some good deals among the more "meh" ones. Not convinced this deal deserves that many negs.

  • burningrage on 24/03/2016 - 14:49

    Things that matter, they are either more expensive or lightly discounted (eg: HDRPJ670 Camcorder)

    I have to agree, the sentiment is being overstated a bit.

    Although you shouldn't be surprised when it comes to Sony. For them 20% discount is a Clearance much like Dick Smith I went to yesterday.

    For those voted negative, please check and make sure you are conforming to our voting guidelines. By simply stating "I agree" or targeting specific user will have your votes revoked. You shall also actually check the deals themselves — Xperia C4 $199, Xperia M5 $299, Xperia C5 $279 etc. Please find better deals to back up your negs.

    • Dingus on 24/03/2016 - 15:00

      No disrespect, but how come people have to follow voting guidelines, when TA doesn't have to follow posting guidelines?

      • Moderatorscotty on 24/03/2016 - 15:06

        TA posted 1/2 hours before the sale starts as a speculation of the clearance sale — the same sale that he has already posted twice previously (#1 #2) therefore most would trust him to have a reasonable idea that a 3rd sale is coming up. I do agree that if moderators have acted more swiftly we could have removed the deals before posting. However majority of the negative votes come after the deal becomes live, and have nothing to do with the deal itself.

        Finally, there's a rule breaker does not mean it's okay for you to break the rule.

        • jv on 24/03/2016 - 15:09

          TA posted 1/2 hours before the sale starts as a speculation of the clearance sale

          speculation isn't a bargain though.

          Can we pre-post all the supermarket weekly sales as 'speculation' there will be some items 50% off ???

          How are we supposed to vote on 'speculative' items? How do we compare prices if the items are not known?

          If we can't vote legitimately for a deal when it is posted, it belongs in the forums…

        • Moderatorscotty on 24/03/2016 - 15:12

          @jv: Did you fail to read the rest of the sentence? Did you have track records of getting both previous Sony Clearance deals and just tried to post the 3rd one 1/2 hour earlier?

          However I have also acknowledged that it's a fault on us the moderators that we should have removed the deal swiftly. But if you look at the vote history, the majority of neg votes happened when the deal is live.

        • jv on 24/03/2016 - 15:13

          @jv:

          I kind of disagree. There have been many times in the past where great bargains have been posted before they are official (eBay sales comes to mind).

          It's just that it should have been removed once all the original negs came in for the TV's, headphones and more which were cheaper elsewhere.

          Then the deal could have been reposted with the alarm clock, mobile phones and camera. It looks crazy having this many upvotes and removed negs for the items on offer now. If they were instock but ran out that's understandable - but changing a deal because most the items were found to be bad can be dealt with much cleaner, that is to remove and repost with the new items.

          @jv:

          None, that's what I'm saying. If there's going to be a sale and someone gets wind of it (i.e. TA getting wind of this sale) then they should be able to post it.

          I would rather find out earlier about an upcoming sale and be disappointed (like this), than find out about it too late to get stock.

          +2

          Not trying to argue with you just wanted clarification. I had a whole thing written about if this was another scenario blah blah, but you said admins were at fault for not initially deleting the deal.

          Finally, if that's the case it shouldn't be okay for anyone to break the rules in any case, whether bad language, wrongly negging, not following posting guidelines etc. But what is needed is consistency in my opinion.

        • Moderatorscotty on 24/03/2016 - 15:26

          @Dingus: You get consistency if the robots are doing the moderation. All moderators are also human and some of us have to juggle other tasks like developing the site, replying support emails, etc. We most definitely aim to have consistency, however regrettably it is not always achievable.

          Courier delivery Australia-wide would be $10 (at most) for an item like that. Probably cheaper than using Australia Post.

          I never use radio on these clocks. But $19 for a digital tube clock is not too bad for me. I have a previous generation of this Sony clock radio and it is working fine after a few years use.

    C4 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 2? Similar specs, thinking latter is better dus to ongoing software support.

      definitely a c4.local support and warranty.

        Hmmm but software?

          Xiaomi may not be a smooth ride all the way either, though. And the Sony one is waterproof.

          @Make it so: C series is not waterproof.

        • Make it so on 24/03/2016 - 17:05

          @spy: My bad. Good phone though. The M5 is also pretty awesome.

        • spy on 24/03/2016 - 17:29

          @Make it so: G4 for $370 is MUCH better.

          @spy: Is that supposed to be a positive?

        • spy on 24/03/2016 - 18:46

          @raven2000: depends, but I won't delve into the hypothetical as C4 has its documented weaknesses and C5 is still $549. Moreover the Sony C4 is more prone to faults (yes I've owned the Zs before) thanks to the non premium parts it uses (it Sony's budget phone which is meant primarily for the Indian/Asian markets whereas the LG G4 is the premium flagship product). M series specs don't measure up to G4. 6" is an attractive proposition though on the C5.

          @raven2000:

          I've had that problem with two different LG phones. It's balls!

      Stay away from xiaomi ,had my note 2 and battery barely stays for 2 hours. Changed and installed all global roms, still same for me . apparently ongoing issue with note 2 which xiaomi has not fixed yet.

      you can get a note 3 pro for 230… way above c4 in specs

    My opinion is better for TA to post something like this and we figured out and judge ourselves rather than none at all.

    What do you think is going to happen next time?

      maybe:

      • posting and other guidelines will apply to all
      • users will wait till they can actually check the price and possibly buy a bargain before positive them
      • create a new deal for the real bargains of a deal that has too many items in itself and some of the items are not a bargain
      • users will not positive a deal because of the user who posted it (it should never be about the user anyway)
