    Just a random stir of the pot really. Like your's mine is pretty crap too. But from time to time, after seeing these heads up, and rushing down, you might find a couple of things that have come in during that time.

    Yeah…
    I got sucked into going into the local DSE a few times without any joy. It's pretty sad. Just unwanted crap on the shelves and a few things with original prices on them. I don't think ANY stock is being replenished, except maybe iphone cases judging by how many they have, at nearly full price.

        Considering how many phone covers, tablet cases and batteries Dick Smith have still in stock they should just go 90% off and be done with it.

  I've honestly visited like 7-10 different dicksmiths over the last 3 weeks, of course not intentionally..

  I can say that different stores have totally different stock on certain items. A lot of them are also selling fixtures and stuff like security spiders.

  If your willing to travel around and visit random stores your might find something of interest.

  And i find their notion of 25%-75% then with a disclaimer about not all items have such a mark down laughable, such as some big ticked items are only 20% off.

  Like what DSE gonna to do with a bunch of Iphone cases when they shutdown. 10% aint gonna move them.

  Anyway we should see further discounting coming up on Thursday.. Maybe we might see 80% off.

      I think under administration they actually probably started looking like a viable business. Mind you all the publicity they are getting there are mugs in there buying anything thinking it's cheap when a quick eBay search proves otherwise

  Removing the stock checker has the opposite effect of what it's supposed to. I would travel to a store if they had stock, but because they can't tell me if they do then I'm not going to bother.

  There has been no price drop yesterday, those items have been at that price since last Thursday, which would explain why there isnt much stock left already.

  Now the real information is that discount will increase from 30-75% to 35-80% tomorrow morning.
  All red dots will now be 80% discounted.

  Batteries will get a further 10% discount starting from tomorrow.

  Prices in the OP are the older prices (from the 24/03). Here are the new prices (from the 31/03): http://i.imgur.com/iLWE9J4.jpg

    jazoom on 30/03/2016 - 13:49

    I'm not sure either. There might have been one day where Price Hipster was slow to get prices due to me breaking something, but certainly not 4 days. And I haven't received any notifications from my scraper that it's had trouble with the Dick Smith website. Perhaps the website didn't show the updated prices for a while?

        List is no longer available, noticed you uploaded a portion of the list on the other thread. A lot only 5-10% off, liquidation going slowly but they have another 3-4 weeks. Digital camera only big one with 40% off. Also the list didn't have the new prices on surface books and laptops, I'm guessing 20 going to 25-30%?

      • 

        AssociatedPielo @ Dick Smith / Kogan on 31/03/2016 - 00:09

        @juzz0:

        The list is still accessible here.

        Computers, TV, tablets etc will remain 20% until the very last moment, then get to 25%.
        Those items will never reach 30%.

      • 

        juzz0 on 31/03/2016 - 00:19

        @Pielo: Thankyou for the response, digital cameras are already 40% if that list is correct why won't surface books (if there are a limited quantity left) reach 30%? Just curious if there is an agreement with the MS, Apple suppliers.

        Have the receivers notified employees yet of the discounting procedure for the last month? Is the reason MS surface books, Apple etc will never reach that level of discount due to anticipated stock exhaustion or agreed upon stock returns to the supplier (before they reach 30+% off)? I could imagine supplier credit wouldn't be that much and there would be logistics costs to return stock so probably would be more value for many products to be sold at 30-70% of retail price at the stock realisation date (subject to availability). Or transferred to others stores under area manager control until their store closure date.

        I'm going to head into a store closing on the 19th. Hopefully there will be some good bargains to be had then. Current 20% off specials on other brands of computer are standard prices from other retailers so not really bargains at the moment.

        Only leaky batteries and accessories at liquidation level discounts, rest seem they could be part of a seasonal sale as part of normal operations. Digital cameras seem to be big announcement but probably none left. Also car navigation, home appliances etc. good luck finding stock,

        Noticed watches have gone to 50% off. I'm guessing that doesn't include Apple watches ;)

        @juzz0:

        The adminostrators are not in control of the discounts, the liquidators (Hilco) are.
        By experience, even before taking control over DSE's stock, they knew the biggest discounts for each product.

        Products are divided in categories on the system.
        I gave you the list of reduction changes for products that WILL change.
        But there is also the list (top left of my picture) of products that will remain the same.
        These include TV, Computers etc.

        The reason why some products will never reach more than 25% is that… they do not need to! People will grab whatever broken display there is, for 20%-25%, yelling "BARGAIN!!" at the counter.

        Cameras, GPS and Dashcams are already pretty much all go e already. Only some old displays left.

        Stores closing early will get there stock transfered to the bigger stores in the region.
        The last week of liquidation will see the increase of reduction from 20% to 25% on big ticket items.

        You are totally right about seasonal sales.

        You are also correct for the watches. These include Timex watches. It excludes Samsung, Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbones (part of the Fitness category) and Apple watches (Part of Apple category).
