Came across this bargain today Ipod touch at Harvey Norman 8GB for 227 as shown in the picture. I'm not sure if the other sizes are cheap but Big W are selling the 8GB for 268 so i guess thats a saving of 40 bux.
Yes this is the latest 4th generation for anyone who wants to know.
BTW this is the Harvey Norman at 420 South Road, Moorabbin
PH: 9269 3400
woops just realised how bad my english is
Only now?
Gen 4? I see a camera icon, so i assume it's one, but considering apples recent photo-shop screw-ups recently, i have doubts.
its a gen 4, just look at the plastic case it has round corners, gen 3 had sharp ones
Myer had them for $248, I think, with a $25 Myer Gift card.
By the looks of the photo, the 160GB classic is $295.
ever heard of officeworks price matching policy?
obviously not, you are a new member
Where?
It's showing up as $289 for the 8GB touch for me.
Edit:
and $329 for the classic
he's is looking at the US site
Also it's $229 if you live in the US. research before commenting
its not going to be 229 in the US, most states has sales tax, so probably 240-250 USD.
I'm at the apple store now and I can't see that?
Do you have a link?
$330 -5% for 32GB would be a decent deal too.
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to play words with friends on this?
yes, words with friends is an app. The lite version is free but has ads. The paid version has no ads
Thanks for the reply. Can it be played online vs ppl with the iPhone ?
Yes you can.
I don't know how harvey norman is doing it , Because at dick smith the cost price of 8gb is $238 and we can't sell it below $242 ..
I guess grab it ..
They probably made a deal with apple
Plenty of stores list say 1 item a week where they make no money on it or loose a little in hope of getting people through the door.
lose!
Goz you happy to get $4 profit only?then i dont know how dicksmith can afford to rent shops in cbd and pay staffs :)
loss leader
$238 already includes all those costs. At seller level people can't see how much dse actually pays for items.
Perhaps they don't run their stores solely based on the profits or losses made on ipod touches… Just a thought.
I have never price matched at officeworks. How do I go about it and does it matter I am in Sydney ?
$238 at OW probably only until 9am today…. when they do their price check against other stores.
Would they beat this price now?
Looks like it's still $238 at OW, so I'd say you should. Good luck.
I bought 2 from HN last week and the sale guy told me the best price they could do was $253 as apple would not let them go under that and they where basically already giving them away.
I got a discount on the cases ect I bought but paid $253 for the ipod's
You can go back as they have a 30-day price guarantee.
More proof of dodgy Harvey Norman salespeople telling lies. It's against the law for any manufacturer (eg. Apple) to set a minimum price. A retailer can sell for whatever price they like. If they don't want to go lower so be it but they can't hold Apple responsible.
I believe the manufacturing cost of the ipod touch is around $100. If you want a "floor" price, that would be it as Apple can make an extra iPhone, sell it directly for $100 and make no losses. However, once you take into account the wages for Apple designers and programmers, storage cost, revenue for the seller, and profit-taking (why their stock prices are incredibly expensive) you can understand why $230 sounds like a great deal.
Thanks OP for the post, I just got my 32gb one this morning from OW with the price beat for $313.50!
would i be able to pricematch it at JBHIFI in Sydney by just printing the picture?
doubt it, it doesn't have a store name(except for the "Harvey Norman" that could be hardly seen on top of the CHRISTMAS Stocking Stuffers) or proof that it actually at this price, best to search for a copy of a receipt.
yeah true thanks !
if anyone here has a receipt please give me a heads ups.
Be quick you can possible get Pricematch @ officeworks!!!
