Well. Have no idea what this is for but $1! It was $68 previously. From the description:
Product page on LG — a discontinued product. Looks like you have to use it with LG Music Flow speakers. Likely a price error. Postage is $10, or no cost to pickup from your local JB Hi-Fi.
Hmm, it's got dual lan ports… I'm gonna grab 2 just to tear them down and experiment lol… might be able to mod something interesting out of it!
Just did a quick search and couldn't find any 'hack'. Saw one on Gumtree for $75 hehe.
Yeah I imagine at the usual price point, nobody was keen enough to tear it down for shits'n'giggles… given the size of it, looks like hollowing it out and making it a raspberry pi nas might be an attractive option!
Contact the seller on Gumtree and see if they will price match
Thanks just bought 2
Ditto. Doubt we will ever get them though
I bought 2 as well and a few hours ago I got a call to say that there store was out of stock, but they have sourced from another store and should be in tomorrow. :)
good deal, but remember you You cannot connect R1 (MR140) to a router wirelessly, therefore you cannot extend the wireless network for $1….
free 3 months google music as well

Damn. I would have purchased one just for this!
Thanks bought one. Not sure what it does but maybe good for the younger folks in my house.
Nothing available in SA. I assume only in a few stores nationwide
(edit - sold out that was quick) There was 3 stores available a few mins ago, gepps cross, city and elizabeth.
All gone in Brissy area at least
"The page you were after lived a good and happy life, but now it is no longer with us. That's ok though, because we have thousands more that are alive and just as great."
All gone
Wouldn't it be funny if $1 was a pricing error and you get charged $680 instead…
The order had been cancelled anyway. But it's interesting that how they could charge me $680 after I paid through paypal?
cant add to cart. it's gone
Pricing error email received.
So are they honouring?
If they are quickly sending out pricing error emails then they are obviously not honouring.

For $1 it was obviously a pricing error to begin with. Any one ordering this thinking otherwise was deluded.
Considering the product is discontinued and most likely on clearance, it's a pretty reasonable assumption to think it was going for this cheap.
Since when was the last time that you saw an electronic item on clearance at 98% off?.
pretty good even for a paper weight
or if you enjoy smashing electronics $1 is worth it
They are not going to get it. It's a pricing error. They'll cancel all the orders.
This is the most OzBargain post ever - especially from the founder. I don't know what it is but it's 98% off - SOLD! Scotty you are the voice that speaks for all OzBargainers
It's not really 98% off because it was a pricing error so was invalid and orders are being cancelled. Nothing was really sold.
Interestingly someone had the guts to report the boss! lol
im here to read the angry comments, when everyone gets the cancelled email.
As i said earlier any one ordering and thinking that this was legit was totally deluded.
ACCC HERE WE COME!!
just got a call to say out of stock, but they have sourced from another store and should be in tomorrow. :)
I didnt order one.
But i'm posting because i think it stinks when this happens.
Ok, so they made a mistake.
And if that had been the case "In Store" they would have had to honour the ticketed price!
So whats the difference online?
It is still the exact same thing, a "Ticketed or Advertised Price"
They are not going to go broke selling a few items at $1
And think of all the Good Will and Good Word that would get around.
I had the same thing happen with Kogan 5 years ago, over a mobile phone (its was only $50 under what it should have been)
They dishonoured the transaction and offered me a crappy voucher for a few dollars
As such, i have NEVER bought a thing from Kogan again and don't intend too either.
Some people have principles.
They made the stuff up, not us… The least they could do is honour it with a smile, then perhaps turn any angst to person whom stuffed up the pricing!
Businesses need to make money to stay afloat. Try running a business yourself & see how quick you'll change your tune when people are trying to buy something from you for $1 when it cost you $20 or $30
What do you know, i have been running a business for 20 years.
I make mistakes all the time
I send off Quotes then realise i forget to include a $400 part
But big deal, i wear it, it was my mistake.
Its hardly like you can say to your customer, "Oh sorry, i forgot to add a part, i will have to charge more money that the written quote you have accepted for the job"
Get over ya self and Business's need to make money, do you really think JB HiFi is going to loose any sleep over a $67 lose?
Obviously the Product costs them around $35, so really… What impact is it????
They made how much profit in that day of trading???
We're talking about mass orders on a pricing error. Not a one off order.
And what would you do if say 1000 orders were made at a loss off $400 each. Would you still honour it?. I would think not.
Even in the case of JB Hi-Fi say 1000 orders made at a loss of say $30 each on these would make it a loss of $30,000.
Maybe work out your own business practices before you go scrutinising others. Sounds like you provide a service, big deal if you under quote by $400 as it just comes out of your labour cost. A lot easier to make a mistake when you have 1,000 products on a website & god forbid you put one at a incorrect price because of people like you
Mistakes happen. Thankfully the bulk of people (excluding you) and understanding of this and don't try to screw businesses (regardless of how big they are)
Say it how ever you like, but this next line is Australian Law:
Where a seller advertises an item at the incorrect price or a price that’s lower than the in-store price, it is required under Australian Consumer Law to honour the advertised price until such time as the error has been corrected.
Going off your methodology, i may as well make all my products $1, get all these sales, then dishonour them, telling my customers they have the oppertunity to buy them at the correct price if they like..
Its called Switch Baiting or Scamming or Any other name
Sure, it may have been a mistake, but how do you tell the difference?
Hence why we have Laws about it.
Yeah go & take to it to court, you'll win but who can be bothered.
@PAOK11: Im glad that makes it right for you
Please call me when your Hot Water Services dies, i'll gladly quote you one price then when i'm finished, i'll charge you a another price, claiming i made a mistake.
Glad you are one the good people out there that would be happy to pay the attentional money no questions asked.
Nope. I don't know what law you think you copied that line from, but it's not true.
If someone accidentally stuck a $5 price tag on a car, they would not be required to sell it to you at that price. Errors happen.
Please call me when your Hot Water Services dies, i'll gladly quote you one price then when i'm finished, i'll charge you a another price, claiming i made a mistake.
Then I would say "No thank you, I am not prepared to pay that price." No obligations.
It was from an Australian Consumer Law website
Also, i walked in Dan Murphy's over the weekend, they had a Box of Beer marked at 2 separate prices
One of them was ridiculously cheap (most likely a 6 Pack price)
I asked the floor staff what price is it???
He said, which ever is the lowest displayed price is the price he must honour.
He honoured the price then corrected the pricing error.
As it should be.
Not the same concept troll. I get my money back & do not have to go through with the purchase unless I choose too. In your scenario you have already completed the work & I have no choice but to pay which I will not
It was from a Australian Consumer Law site
It really wasn't.
He said, which ever is the lowest displayed price is the price he must honour.
Woolworths store policy. Not law.
So what happened to your "Business's need to make money??"
That wasn't me, but basically it's this:
If the price is incorrect:
1. Sellers are NOT required to CHARGE that incorrect price.
2. Buyers are NOT required to PAY that incorrect price.
Same argument.
So, given your arguement
The seller has made an offer (In this case $1)
The buyer accepts that offer, by going through the purchase process
(which many here did)
Offer made, Offer accepted.
So, given your arguement
The seller has made an offer (In this case $1)
The buyer accepts that offer, by going through the purchase process
(which many here did)Offer made, Offer accepted.
At the end of the transaction the following things are true:
The seller has the buyer's money.
The buyer has the seller's product.
Anything BEFORE that point - You'd have a hard time convincing a court that JB Hifi should be required to go through with the deal.
Anything AFTER that point - JB Hifi would have a hard time convincing a court that duodeta has to return his in-store purchase.
But sure, good luck with your consumer law complaint.
The sale contract hasn't been made until the seller accepts the order which is not happening because it was a pricing error. What happened in this case when a single price was displayed was an invitation to treat, and also was also a pricing error too. Invitation to treat is completely different to sale contract. A retailer has a right to cancel any orders they want because the displayed price was an invitation to treat.
"Invitation to treat
An invitation to open negations with a view to forming a contract. Displaying goods for sale is an invitation to treat, not an offer"
http://registers.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/3663
"The word
‘treat’ means to negotiate or bargain; it is an old English word. The display or
advertisement of goods is an invitation to treat. The offer occurs when the customer
approaches the seller and indicates they would like to buy the goods. The
effect of this is that, for example, a person advertising a car for sale at a particular
price is not bound to sell the car just because a possible buyer turns up with the
quoted amount. The potential buyer is not responding to an offer, but making an
offer, which the seller has every right to refuse."

@hollykryten: If the online system accepts your order with a confirmation even if it is autogenerated, the seller has accepted the order.
No not until the order is processed by the merchant which tends to happen when a manually generated invoice is issued (that is when the seller accepts the order). Automated system order confirmation doesn't count. The online store can still cancel the order before it gets handed over when it's a genuine pricing error the same as any B&M store can.
lol I think you need to go back to law school. The dangers of having a little bit of knowledge.
TOTALLY wrong. They have EVERY right to choiose not to sell a product at any point as long as doing so does not contravene another act (such as sexuality, gender or race discrimination). If i price is listed incorrectly they are allowed to EITHER withdraw the item from sale until such time as this corrected OR sell it to you at the listed price. What they cannot do is just say it has a different price.
Try actually reading the act before you preach it hey
Glad you are one the good people out there that would be happy to pay the attentional money no
questions asked.
Could you try that again in english?
Oh and thats a nice straw man you constructed, but it is a false equivalence. Just as well you are a plumber and not an engineer i guess, einsturzende neubauten time
They would not have to honour an in store mistake.
They simply need to remove the item from sale until the mistake is rectified.
Supermarkets are different but this is due to policy not law.
i just drove there and got one from parramatta westfield
I guess Parramatta Westfield hasn't yet heard that this is a pricing error and that they were't supposed to give it to you for $1.
Is there anymore stock left?
receipt or it didn't happen?
Anyone else thought this was a ps4 :P
I never received a cancellation email. I'm assuming its still available for me.
Status on my order says 'in Progress'.
I have an LG Flow speaker setup in my room. 1 H6 soundbar and two H3 speakers. There is minimal wifi interference in my area but I've found you really do need to ethernet them.
I also have a bridge which I setup before wiring them with ethernet … it is pretty useless.
head to the "what else" section to see what it is
http://www.cybershack.com.au/review/australian-review-lg-mus…
Not receiving any email confirmation until now. But I checked with my account it is still under processing but on the bottom of the page say ready to pick up in store.Anyone have the same experience?Can i just show the order number and pick it up In store?
Mine still says in Progress so still waiting.
Actually, mine also says ready to pickup when I expand details. Great, i'll go and fetch it later today.
Let me know the result.Thanks
Picked up no probs. Just showed email and license.
@aiyoyo:They just wanted to see the product you ordered so show any of the emails that came through from JB's, the product will have a sticker on it with your details. Then they match that with your license.
I got mine today,but i dont know how to use it.Any clue?
Brodens be like "I don't care what it's for I'll take it!"
