[PRICE ERROR] Google Home Mini - 3 for $78 at The Good Guys Online

Moved to Forum: Original Link

Tried adding 2 to cart, total was $0, however I couldn't proceed to payment. Added another one, promotional code was applied automatically. Total $78 for 3.

Edit: Add the cheapest item you can find (easternculture found sim card) and complete payment

Mod 8/1: Users who purchased 3 for $78, 2 for $8 or similar combinations have had their orders cancelled during the past week. Refunds have started today. Moved to forum as a confirmed price error.

          LOL. Mate, I read it - looks like you're trying to harvest some internet points. " This deal is for OzB's waking up to the new year." It's not OzRepeat!

          Why do you think it has 32 Reports?

        • +2

          “always read the complete deal”

          Including the bit that has been edited out to say you wouldn’t give the time to respond to anyone flagging the post as a duplicate, then proceeded to do so to pretty much every post that mentioned it?

      I shall not spend my energy commenting to negative comments

      Wtf???? You’re literally replying to most of the comments on this post. Where are the negative comments? It’s apart of life to tolerate these things, and OP you know it’s a dupe !

      Way more dupe comments here. LOL

      LOL, first time I have seen a deal fall off the front page because of all the negs. (Though I am sure it has happened before

      Rehash, reboot, copy, unoriginal it dont matter how you say it….DUPE!

    • dupe post - plagirism possible

    • Poor dpkmax is getting bashed by the ozbargain community!

    • DUPE!

    • Cant buy anymore, get a cannot buy this item error

    • +2

      Pricing errors are not bargains…

      Why hasn’t this been removed yet?

    • Dupe, plus orders say can't buy.

    • Those down votes lol

  • Some poor site administrator will possibly lose their job over this stuff up. Happy new year! (I bought 2)

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Ordered 2. Hopefully no one loses their job over at TGG for this.

    $78 for 3 paper weights is pretty pricey to me

  • +1

    Thanks OP.
    In for 2. Waiting for the refund :))

  • Bough 2 via credit card, PayPal was being blocked

  • The Logitech UE Boom 2 deal that was too good to be true, I managed to successfully collect 2 of those. I hold out hope, very faint hope, that at least some ozbargainers have a win!
    I did the 3 for $78, as for some reason, the logic in my head said it was more likely to get honoured. Good luck everyone.

    • Did you collect in store as soon as possible for the UEB2?

      • +1

        Yeah, I ran from work in the rain. Would not have been pretty to watch haha.

        • so this means if you pickup instore, it is possible they honor that price?

        • @ce5himm: I got in the store as soon as they opened. A girl was already on the phone trying to speak to management about the amount of orders that were placed and the pricing error. I just got the goods as quick as I could and got out of there. I also got an email saying they were cancelling my order and gave me a $10 voucher.
          So if I don’t win on the home mini, I’m not going to be too worried.

        • @johnno1987: good on you. i guess everyone here will be happy with $10 voucher. this time is even different from a price error.

  • Looks like they fixed it now?

    After adding two i get $78 and $5 for shipping?

    Or we add some promo code to make 2 for $0?

    • one of each colour gives you $0

  • yup not going through anymore, paypal being blocked.

    • It's OK for me . Bought 2 for $8 🤔🤔😂

  • On the 2 for $8 bandwagon.

  • Shows me 0 + $8 delivery when I add 4 of those BUT "PayPal payment has not gone through, please try again."

    Is it still working for you guys?

  • Buy 3 charcoal + 3 chalk = $78
    Happy new year.

  • Thanks. Ordered the 2 for 8 clams.

  • +1

    The good guys will be not-so-good-guys when they found this out :D

  • +1

    Has anyone's delivery order been allocated to a store?

    • I think most are happy paying $8 for delivery. The glitch possibly does not work for collection, but yes, I hear you.

      • +1

        Yeah I paid delivery. But your order gets assigned to a store for shipping. You get an email with the stores name and number. Normally it's the one closest to you with stock.

  • Site is getting hammered.

    Anyone find stock in NSW?

  • +3

    I got a PayPal receipt just now ordering one of each. No tgg email though.

    • Same.

      When it went back to TGG site, got those error message:
      CMN3101E The system is unavailable due to "13994293".

      Checked PayPal, and got charged.

    Thanks goof guys.

    Not going through here. Cart isn’t even loading, getting “CGT generic error” messahe

    Good luck peeps. Forgone conclusion that this will result in mass refunds….
    TGG site admin will be receiving a new year's tune up!! Happy New Year all…

    websites ozbargained.. no response

    • Same here. Looks like the plug was pulled!

  • I woke up to an armageddon of comments. Great deal though im glad i held off from the $83 each at officeworks!

  • I ordered two with delivery for a total of $8 using PayPal a few hours ago . They emailed 'order received'.

    We will see if this works.

  • I'm in for a laugh. Let's see how this plays out…

  • GOOGLE Home Mini - Chalk

    they might want to hire a better web developer next time.

      If it's anything like systems I've dealt with in the past it will be a loophole in their CMS rules which let this invalid product config slip through..

      Great way to live test the CMS rules, server load capacity and staff training shortcomings all in one hit. All while securing thousands of dollars in locked up invalidated purchases that will only be exchanged for store credit ensuring the money stays with the house.

      Very clever TGG. Very clever.

      • didn't think of it like that… you make a good point.

      • It's illegal not to offer an actual refund under ACCC legislation but I'm sure some people will settle for an extra $2 on on top of the $8 payment for the stuff up

  • +1

    Had my cart ready to pay. Tried selecting store kept saying try again later or contact store. Then added delivery and cart updated. Tried to pay by PayPal and got an error code. Then tried my CC same error code. Then I recieved payment confirmation from PayPal transaction reciept. So I checked my CC account and the transaction had gone through as well.

    So suggest do t keep trying as the transactions are going through.

    Just hope that because of the double payment they don’t void the transaction!

    All is not lost, get Officeworks to Price Match is this deal doesn’t go through!

    • Loll i can imagine the look of OW workers when you mentioned beat the price by 5% for 2 GHM grand total of $0.

  • product not buyable.. :(

  • The end. Error no longer able to order both colours. Had 2 in my cart but error no longer buyable.

  • I just for my paypal confirmation for 2 for $8. Will see if it’s honoured.

  • Error:The following products "Home Mini - Charcoal" are not buyable.

  • The product "3074457345618655169" cannot be ordered when adding to cart

  • "products…not buyable" at proceeed to payment

    • Don't think you can neg for out of stock

      • -1

        It doesn't say it is out of stock.

        IMO, this is probably an error like others have pointed out.

        • I’d prefer to know about deals like this than to not. Instead of assuming it’s an error.

        • I have got kitchenaud mini from applicance online due to their price error. So what's the matter for their price error. You try to buy one you may get the bargain.

        • @Unity55: exactly

  • i think staff start to processing those orders, noticed this issue and report to IT department. that's why it is not available. we may start to see order cancellation letters soon. hopeful $10 voucher too

  • They’re definitely on to it now. Says product cannot be ordered. Put in two orders successfully earlier this morning.

  • +3

    hilarious, just received a marketing email from TGG for the New Years Day sale and the opening deal is 2 mini's for $78 (HOT DEAL……..indeed)

  • damn that would be right, paypal took the payment however thegoodguys site refused to process the order grrr, oh well off to launch a paypal dispute

    • Just wait, I got 3 emails from tgg an hour after the PayPal one. Because their website wouldn't load and I tried refreshing 3 times.

  • Can't even get the original legit deal now it seems.

  • -4

    i did genuinely wanted to get on the deal, could someone who bought 3 for $78 share their tax invoice so i can walk into a JB or Officeworks to price match? Certainly i cannot get them to price match 2 for $8 delivery lol

    • +1

      Are you serious ? No store will match pricing well below their cost price…would you if you owned a retail outlet ?

    • No store in their right mind will price match this ever…

    • 3 for $78 is an error also. It should be 2 for $78 which I believe JB has.

      • It's 2 for $74 on HN website

    • -2

      Your perceived assumption of a pricing error.

      • +4

        Did you read it? It was advertised for BOGOF and then miscalculated the discount. That's a pricing error.

    • +2

      Haha I can imagine if there is a riot and looting going on somewhere in a city, someone might post it up as an OzB deal and these fellow OzBargainers will join in the looting XD

      • +2

        ITS SO CHEAP you literally just walk into their store through the broken window and take stuff! I hope they let me keep it…

  • The mods need to move this to the forums its obviously a glitch…

    • Once it's confirmed they will.

      • +4

        **once they've had their fun they will.

        Why would they shut down something that's had the whole community talking? They've silenced all the reports and revoked all negative votes. They're just as invested in pushing this broken cart up the hill as the next guy.
