    Any discounted $200 Monster HDMI cables :)

    • scotty on 07/04/2016 - 12:02

      Only Mini HDMI is on clearance at $5 each. Must be a huge discount consider you have to pay $499 for "Monster Black Platinum Ultimate High Speed HDMI Cable"…

      • adr8 on 07/04/2016 - 12:21

        Scotty FYI that is micro HDMI (type D) mini HDMI (type C) is different Link

          Last time I bought the $499 black platinum cable, the sale staff opened a bottle of champagne then called Gerry in for celebration. My arse is still hurt and can't walk straight since that incident.

          Yup. When I put on star trek 4k using my 400 cable, my entire lounge room almost transforms into the starship enterprise. But seriously though, with a monster cable, flowers smell so much sweeter, water tastes much more moist, and sometimes I feel as though my tv is leaning in towards me and whispers (in the clearest vocals I've ever laid my ear drums on) "thank you".

          I can't tell if you're post was sarcasm but it didn't sound like it

    • abacus on 07/04/2016 - 14:21

      Yeah exactly, I think they were even more than $200. I remember the setup they had at Billy Guyatts Carnegie with a split screen down the middle of a TV showing the Monster cable giving a much better picture than normal cables with the salesmen trying to convince people that once they invested $3K into a TV they must get the cables.

    This sale is a rort. There's nothing in stock in store. No flat rate shipping. Shipping for cleaners are $5.95 & for the cables it's $14.95.

    Gerry being a professional again.

    • Rocket6 on 07/04/2016 - 13:19

      I'm considering the 3 dollar cleaner too. 5.95 shipping though, hmm. What are they normally? Need a decent one for my PC.

      • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2016 - 14:38

        These monster cleaners are alcohol free. So it's likely just demineralized (DI) water. Bunnings sell a 4L bottle of DI water for $3.44. You can probably get a microfibre cloth cheaply from dollar shops. I recently picked up a pack of 24 from Officeworks where it was on clearance for 25c cents. Never apply solutions directly but instead dampen a cloth and it'll be alright. For other electronics where water is a no go I have a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol bought from Jaycars for under $10. I never spray directly always onto a cloth or qtip. A soft bristled paint brush is also handy.

    • sergun on 07/04/2016 - 13:43

      The cable is shipped in a bag made of special paper: its microfibers resist electromagnetic field, protect the cable from harmful solar radiation, thus drastically increasing the cable's image transfer capability and improving the image resolution.

      • Gershom on 16/04/2016 - 12:35

        Don't forget the crisper audio.

        For the price they charge for delivery, I think HN must "beam them up" to you.

    • tightarse on 07/04/2016 - 13:16

      Nothing wrong with limits. Stops brodens, and gives others a chance at getting one.

    • BigBrother on 07/04/2016 - 13:16
      +2

      That reason doesn't qualify to neg this deal though?

      • Draxxx on 07/04/2016 - 21:56

        I get that it stops people brodening things, but seriously if something is a good deal and cheap, you want to get a couple right?
        I just think one is too few for a CLEARANCE sale. Whats wrong with say a 5 item limit. Shit, I bought half a dozen micro usb cables from OW this week because they were cheap.
        Anyway, In my opinion I think it does warrant a neg, so I stand by my vote (even if it does get revoked).

    • Clear on 07/04/2016 - 13:18

      You can always go into your local and try and get more in person. I've done it before.

    • Rocket6 on 07/04/2016 - 13:18

      That certainly does not warrant a neg.

      I personally like the 1 per customer deal. Means we all have plenty of chances go grab one.

    After a search of WA, and a quick search of metro QLD, NSW and VIC I couldn't find any physical stores that had stock of the several items I had in my cart (I individually checked). And it's a postage fee of $15 per item, which is obviously inflated. I would say no bargain.

        I know Scotty does a lot for OzBargain, and this neg is nothing against him, but I didn't want people wasting their time like I did. My neg is only to highlight a problem with the deal.

        • Gershom on 16/04/2016 - 12:42

          This has happened to me the last 4 times I tried to buy a deal at HN - no floor stock in my state (Vic) and ridiculous delivery fees. It is clearly a strategy by HN, and is a sharp practice at best. It's like those early eBay "deals" we used to see. Having sh1t canned internet sales in the past, Gerry has clearly been reading up on the scams and is now a convert.

        Nope. The negs are useful to highlight the issues with the deals. $3 Monster-stuff are cheap, and it's a clearance sale after all. However the availability is limited so justified neg votes highlight those issues.

  • BertieBrown on 07/04/2016 - 16:08

    Is it legal for stores to limit the amount of stock that they sell to a customer? I've seen these sorts of advertisements plenty of times in the past, but I guess it just never really occurred to me whether or not a store is permitted to either limit or turn away customers from buying ordinary stock.

    Things like when a store offers things like buy one get one free, I can understand that sort of thing being conditional because the store is offering what I'd consider was a non standard contract of sale. But yeah, like I said I really don't know.

    • ninetyNineCents on 07/04/2016 - 16:14

      i seem to recall, that they must have a minimum which equates to a very small amount. Something riduculous like 5 or maybe less. Im probably wrong, but i beleive they are playing within the rules.

    Awesome, crisper audio from my new Advanced Highspeed Ethernet Cable. Sharper image is just a bonus. It's amazing what they can do with these new fancy two channel ethernet cables.

  • ceebee on 08/04/2016 - 01:49

    So last time HN had their sale, I bought a few headphones and video games; as everyone probably knows, their shipping kept going up each time I added anything to the cart. They said was because items were being sourced from different stores— and I get that, but David Jones, Myer, and JB do source items across various stores and still offer flat rate shipping.

    So I bought four items, and despite still paying a pretty penny for shipping ($15) it took about two weeks to get to me, even though 3/4 of the stock was from a store in my state. When it did arrive they only sent me half of my order. I check my email and it does say partially shipped. That's fair enough, since they were coming from different places, so I wait patiently for the rest of my stuff. Another week passes and there's no updated shipping info for the missing video game and headphone. So I contact them— which sends my query directly to the store responsible for PART of my order — I thought maybe it'd sent the query to an office specializing in online orders and they would chase the stuff up. Nope. So my local store tells me they were responsible for 3/4s of my order, and had sent me half of it. They tell me that they hadn't sent my headphones since they couldn't find the item in stock, and thought it'd been stolen and that's why the stock level was off. They were kind enough and I don't blame them, but I asked when they thought they were going to cancel that particular item or tell me about this? Like did they think it'd send itself? Had they just forgotten? So they offer to send me a replacement from a different brand or a refund for that item. So that part is sorted, and that's all good, but I ask them about the last item (a video game) I'm still waiting on? They say that last item has nothing to do with them as it was supposed to be sent from an eastern states store, but if I wanted to chase it up with the Melbourne store, here was their phone number to call that store (which was not free call btw) and find out what was up with my game.

    It'd been three weeks at that point, and I was due to go away that very day for 10 days, so I asked for an email address for that store instead. They say they will send it to me later that week, but they forget, so I wasn't able to email in my absence. Anyway, I get back home, and I do get the replacement brand item they promised me, but again nothing is done about my last missing item, and nobody has contacted the NSW store. I write them again and I ask the local store for an email address for that store again. After this I notice in my email that they want me to fill in a survey about my shopping experience, which I do, and I'm pretty honest about the waiting.

    Only then does the item finally get sent (although I don't get any shipping notification), and 10 days after I finished the survey I'm on the eve of making a paypal claim for that item, when I receive the item the next day. It was 40 days at that point or so. (Obviously I cancelled my claim as soon as I saw it in my mailbox, but it was funny, they got really crappy about my claim as if somehow I was trying to take advantage of the system).

    Anyway, sorry for the length, but my story is a caveat about people ordering online from HN. I really hope they iron out their issues and their shipping but in the meantime, go in store, whatever you do. Don't rely on the online stock level and instead ring up and make them put it aside for you.

    I would never order from HN online ever again. They don't have an office that takes care of online orders (or if they do they don't wanna handle it) and instead rely on their individual stores to fix all problems, but the problem is that the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right one is doing. I don't think it's really acceptable when your customer needs to chase up each individual item of their missing order from each specific store it's coming from. Considering how much I paid for shipping, it was really slow shipping and some of the worst customer service I've ever received at an Australian online store, ever, and I buy a lot online. Even with some of the bad service I've received (Chemist Warehouse is always out of stock, Myer have sent the wrong stock sometimes, and my friend received her items hard tagged), they are at least quick to ship from various stores, there's someone overseeing the order itself, and they were quick to sort their mistakes out and apologetic. I didn't get that feeling at all from HN.

    So you know, caveat emptor and all that.
