        While more ACCC attention to the Ebay sales would be a positive, I'm sure there is plenty of other inappropriate behaviour out there that gets investigated.

  • watty on 16/01/2018 - 08:07

    It baffles me that some retailers decide to price jack during sales to what… project the idea of grabbing a bargain? The only thing they are generating is negativity for their businesses. Remember, one happy shopper will tell one other person or so, one unhappy customer will tell EVERYONE they know to steer clear.

    I've personally refused to buy from pricejackers even when they were the cheapest (including outside of promos/sales) and I hope people will as well to get on top of these jokers and remind them that we aren't just walking wallets.

    Revoking my positive in this deal.. sorry.

    All my items in my cart has changed in price…. for the worse.
    Local PC stores much better instead now.

    I am against price jacking and colluding by many of the PC sellers like JW Computers (alot higher), shopping express clearance (slightly higher), PC Byte (slightly higher for a few)

    yep everything I wanted was price jacked today. I give up on these ebay tech sales. They are so pointless you end up saving pretty much the same as regular price + 5% coupons

  • rhimes on 16/01/2018 - 09:58

    Which sellers will actually honor the purchase? Futu cancelled my orders last time, pretending they had no stock.

  • BargainKen on 16/01/2018 - 09:58

    Although I dont condone what the sellers do, I think this happens quite often in the retail space where often the saving is based on RRP. So if its listed on ebay discounted, they raise the price to a point and then apply the discount for what is overall a very small saving at best. I think ebay makes it more transparent when they do this and we can call them out on it. Retailers use every trick in the book to make a sale.

    The other thought is who bears the full cost of the discount, if its coming out of the sellers pocket, I dont think they'd be keen to sell something at a loss, otherwise whats the point?

    When these sales come along, I usually wait for the site-wide 10-15% sales as those give you more choice in sellers and pick the best competitive price I can find.

    In case you missed it or don't remember, Kogan got fined $32,400 for pricejacking during an ebay sale.

    Reporting these sellers to the ACCC can make a difference.

    Last night some douchebag at Austin Computers was putting up prices. Clear evidence in price history of this being illicit behavior. The logo for these deceptive criminals includes the phrase "The name you can trust".

    Got a Gigabyte 1080 8GB Windforce for $689 from Futu. It's been cheaper in the past, but with the way GPU and RAM pricing is skyrocketting and is looking to to continue to rise over the next few months I figured better buy it and think later. Will be a nice upgrade from my 3GB 1060 that was holding me back in a few VR titles.

    The link was posted here a few days ago but was removed possibly because ozbargain don't allow deals posted from Futugear as they are not a power rated seller (but were part of this sale).

    There's still a few left at the time of this post.

          @shot:

          I was going to buy the same card from them but I realised you will probably be hit with import taxes since it's over $1000 on the invoice rather than your actual costs after discount on Paypal.

        That link goes to Futuregear in NZ who are one of the worst sellers, they don't respond to emails, complaints in ebay, paypal disputes, they upload false tracking numbers and the list goes on. If you have a problem with them you can forget about warranty, better to buy in Australia.

        • OzAmore on 16/01/2018 - 18:39

          Damn, that's not good to hear. Their feedback on ebay doesn't seem to be all that bad though? Hopefully I don't have these issues as I just ordered an GTX 1060 through them this morning.

  • Ovazealous on 16/01/2018 - 10:26

    Be careful with Warehouse_1 - they're listed for the eBay 20% sale but don't offer Paypal payment for some specific items so there's no way to apply the discount code. Might happen with other sellers too.

    Well, glad I didn't upvote this deal (no offence OP, not your problem). Everything I was watching was price jacked, in some cases only minutes before the code started working.

    I appreciate that the sellers might have their reasons for this (and thanks to the Computer Alliance rep for explaining some of the inner workings of these deals- I didn't realise that the sellers do actually have to wear some of the discount).

    However, as a consumer these 'deals' are potentially very deceptive. You really have to be doing your homework and watching the prices like a hawk to actually be able to tell if the 20% off price is a good deal. I can see how 'non-professional' bargain hunters could easily be misled by this sort of thing.

    Will be interesting to see if anything comes from the ACCC regarding this. I wonder if the days of these sorts of deals are numbered.

    • Hyena on 16/01/2018 - 10:55

      Yep, I just picked up a monitor I've been watching. The price was jacked just before the deal, though only $20. It still worked out $40 cheaper than the cheapest on staticice and about $80 less than the next cheapest on ebay. But no where near the advertised 20% off. On this particular item the bottom line pricing is less than 10% off elsewhere, so if ebay is meeting them say half way the sellers are knocking off less than 5%…

  • BaarOzGain on 16/01/2018 - 10:34
    +1

    Now I realised what everyone says about price jacking is correct.
    Was about to post WD40EFRX @ shopping express clearance Monday night, while was preparing stuff and doing other works checked the price , was $171 and then went up to $215 (which makes it $172 with the code)!
    at the moment the best deal is at PC Byte $159.2 if anyone wants to post it

        Probably. PCCG limits to 2 per person when they are short supply.

        Also, the GPUs in question were all sold out within 45 minutes.

        • ronnknee on 16/01/2018 - 11:09

          @shot: A business is about making money, not making people happy. It doesn't matter if you're angry now. You'll buy from them if they're the cheapest and back in stock.

        • exit on 16/01/2018 - 11:30

          @ronnknee: Also, retailers more likely to sell full systems or multiple non-GPU items to single GPU purchasers (gamers) rather than multiGPU miners who are only buying graphics cards. Limiting sales in certain situations is very logical.
