Metal Light Signs - Ampersand, Arrow, Open for $2 Each @ JB Hi-Fi (In-Store Only)

1320

Thanks to Price Hipster i found these Metal signs for sale. Personally i dont have a need for these but ordered one of each for pickup anyway.

Not sure of the dimensions but they are battery operated.

According to Price Hipster they use to be $30

Although these are no longer available for purchase online. They will still scan at $2 if you find any in store. I just picked up the last two arrows from my local JB store. Both scanned at $2, even when they had a big sale sign on them saying $9.95 each.

    I've shared a few for a cheap window display idea :)

    Big thanks to OP.

    What are they useful for? I can envisage land fill in the future.

    • +14

      Undoubtedly.

      But it's cheap landfill, though.

      • +12

        … and you'll know where it is and if it's open :p

        • +24

          & if it's open..

  • +3

    Unfortunately not the On Air one I want. Thanks for the tip OP.

    • I wanted this too.

    • Ordered two OPEN ones, two arrows and one & from Doncaster JB.
      Upon pickup I see the ON AIR one discounted so I swapped an OPEN one for the ON AIR one.

      It was a pricing error but they were nice enough to honour it anyway.

    yeh wonder how big they are?

    also worth noting the open sign runs on usb as well with usb cable included ;)

    • +2

      I heard the words "dimension" and "battery operated" and my ears pricked up.

    • +2

      They have to be big enough to fit the batteries in, at least!

  • +6

    Can get an idea of the size in this video

    I figure for 2 bucks it's not a bad usb/battery powered project box, with a free LED strip.

    • …nice find. i guess the 'open' one will be the same as that

  • +2

    They should make one for spackbace.

    A shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ one would be good too.

    Thanks mate, bought one of each, no clue what i'll use it for… just got it.

    • +1

      as above

    Bought two arrows and an ampersand… what on earth am I using it for?

    • +6

      Put it on your desk at work and everybody will know you're an OzB'er.

    • Is this a riddle? OK, my guess is that you're a Lift operator :)

  • Don't really need them, but they are so pretty! Got one of each anyway =)

      That's a realozbargainer!

  • might be useful for some small businesses

  • yaaaaay time to bust out the pink spraypaint!!

      Username checks out

  • Is the bedside lamp for $9 a bargain as well?

  • Damn. I bought one arrow. Should I buy more?!?

    • +5

      I bought two more arrows.

    • +1

      Did you need more directions?

    • +1

      Just don't take that arrow to the knee, otherwise no more adventures for you.

  • Not sure of the quality of these ones or others. saw some at my local typo dfo store for $1 each.

  • +1

    I bought 5. I don't know what I'm gonna use these for. Maybe presents for work colleagues

  • +6

    I'm thinking of puting some open signs on the front of a few businesses I don't like 15 min before they really open

    • or after they close

    • +1

      you mean a closed sign when they are open?

      • You guys are so much better than me!

        keeping an eye on you!

  • Damn you ozbargai .

  • What size are they?

    • Three hand spans. See the video above.

      • Thanks, that's pretty decent.

  • +1

    I got 4 of the OPEN signs. I think they're interchangeable. Just gotta print the film.

  • +1

    Purchased for no good reason and no bad reason. That's the Ozbargainers way!! 2 x arrows, open sign and &.

  • Possible to safely convert to power cable instead of battery powered?

    • On the video posted above, if its the same one, you can power the lights via a usb cable.

    • Anything's possible, yes. A simple plugpack with enough oomph at around 5V should do it. Note the OPEN sign is the only one that specifies LEDs, the Ampersand and Arrow specify 'Lamps' so that may mean actual old-skool filament Lamps so they'll suck the juice when compared to LEDs. 500mA or 1A should do the trick I'd say. Pull the thing apart and connect it direct to the wires coming from the battery box. Twist together with sticky tape is all that's really required but obviously a nicer job with a soldering iron and a DC socket would be far better. Who knows… they may even have a DC socket and those 'Lamps' may in fact be LEDs anyway. Wont know til I pull one apart.

      • Nah, all LEDs these days, it's basically a short string of Christmas lightss.

        The 'globes' are little plastic ball that clip onto the LED. Neat idea actually.

  • Don't forget to grab one of these for the hipster with everything in your life https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/accessories/flea…

    Couldn't help myself - $10 worth should do it.

    10 bucks spent on dust collectors. Aaah year end secret santa gifts

    Bought 3 Open, 2 arrow, 1 &. Dunno why or what for. I hate OzB.

  • I'll save my money :p

  • +1

    hehe check OzB before going to bed… $10 later for a few things that may come in handy…

  • Luckily for me, the missus said NO!

    • +4

      Not a true ozbargainer. Who lets their misses decide what impulse buying they do.

    • +1

      You're supposed to buy it and hide it from the wife. If the wife ever questions it later, say you bought it ages ago.

    • C'mon they're only $2 each.

      • My missus is more than that!

    Just received an order verification failure email.

    For everybody else in on this deal I hope it's just me.

    • +1

      yep same here. the kiddies will be disappointed.

      I asked why, was rejected on basis of 'commercial quantities'.

      I ordered 6 arrows, 1 open, 1 ampersand.

    • +1

      Yep, same here too. Oh well, they can stick their Arrow up their Open Ampersand!

    • what…? thats bullshit!
      i ordered 4x in one order and then a 2x…and i really want these :(

    • Try going to your local JB and see if they have any left. Ive updated the post to In Store only, as i went to my local and bought the last two arrows that had a $9.95 sale price sign on them, but they scanned at $2 each.

    • Got ready to pick up email on 4.
      Paid with free $10 eGift card😯

  • All three's product pages are gone (404 error).

    • …not looking good then. they were reduced down to $10 prior to the $2 price point…
      this doesnt 'seem' to be a price error (as other posters havent mentioned this from their cancellation emails) so how are they going to get out of honouring this?

      • Got a 'ready for pickup' email at 8:26AM.

        I've no idea what I'm going to do with them either, but hey, $2!

        • i tried calling my pickup and they said wait for the email….so we'll see i guess?

        • +1

          @franco cozzo: Might get my $2 handed back to me, but you never know.

        • @D C: youll be fine i reckon…just grabbed my 5x after receiving my email an hour ago. theyre pretty cool… ;)

      • +1

        Also got a pick up notification this morning (purchased around 1am last night)

        Then again I only purchase 1x arrow 1x ampersan so maybe they are fulfilling the smaller orders?

        • i did a 3x order then a 2nd order of 2x when i realised i could run the open sign off usb ports…only saw my order on the counter waiting for pickup (dandenong, vic) so i reckon pretty limited supply and we cleaned them out hence the 404s this morning

  • +1

    Same here… I got pickup notification earlier (2x items). Funnily enough the website threw up an error message when I ordered last night saying it wasn't completed, call customer service etc… BUT I received the confirmation email straight away so just ignored it. Looking forward to getting this useless purchase. Good storage for the eneloops.

  • +1

    Picked mine up. Ordered 2 arrow and 2 open.

    A lot bigger than I had expected.

    • especially the arrow…its a pretty good size.

  • +1

    Just picked it up, Omg they're huge… Highway robbery for JB

  • yep…just picked up my lights…..great score. should have grabbed another arrow or 2 :P

  • +1

    On a side note, these are the types of bargains Ozbargain misses, well done OP upvoted.

  • Still selling for $2 instore, just brought 2 from Garden City at1:05pm

  • Can anyone tell me if the manufacturer is listed on the packaging/carton? I need to get a whole bunch of BIG light-up letters made just like these, so would be handy to know.

    • +1

      Made in China. Packed on behalf of JB Hi-Fi.

  • Loaaaaaads left in chermside

    Ozbargained the hell out of this. Broke the jbhifi links. I picked mine up this arvo. Wasn't any on display. Was received from the store room. They look really good for 2 bucks each.

  • +2

    This deal is still available instore. Just went and got 2 x Open lights and 1 x Arrow one for $6 total. The Arrow is bigger than I anticipated too. As I was leaving the stooge on the door refused to accept the docket was right for my big bag of stuff and made me wait there until he went and clarified it with someone at the checkout.

    It was embarrassing being treated like a thief but I suppose JB don't normally have such large items instore for such cheap prices so understandable.

    • Did you still get to steal all those micro SD cards?

  • Thanks OP. Got the arrow which looks great.

  • Picked up mine- awesome for the price.

  • Nothing yet after my initial confirmation order for pick up from adelaide CBD :/

    • Me neither for the Robina store. I've emailed customer support so hopefully something soon.

    • I'm in the same boat - waiting for the pu confirmation email (WA)…

      • Got a call to say that they have none available and that my order is now cancelled… :/
        .. and apparently I wont get a refund either unless I phone the online account dept personally to chase it - ridiculous.
