Moved to Forum: Original Link

Before you get too excited these have been listed on Amazon AU by a new seller - I have no idea as to what/how they Vet sellers and what happens if they are not original etc so Buyer Beware

Maybe someone knows more about it?

Worth a shot?

    If it's too good to be true….

    • thewinchester on 10/03/2018 - 23:16

      Yep, there’s no foreseeable way they could acquire stock at a price which would make this a sensible price.

        • thewinchester on 10/03/2018 - 23:32
          +15

          By using your brain, and experience.

          What is the absolute lowest price you’ve seen these for?

          Absolute lowest i’ve ever personally seen a comparable product (the prior generation of this very model) was a 2016 Apple Christmas staff discount (where goods are priced at very close to cost), offering them at $323.

          If Apple, with its massive global buying power cant price the previous model below $323, how on earth is this seller getting the current model and selling it at over 60% below the RRP.

          tl;dr: I have a experience in the FMCG market, and I know from my knowledge that this is a crazy impossible price.

          @thewinchester:

          I think the cheapest anyone ever got them was during a Myer sale, Bose price match, Amex credit promotion at Bose, and then TRS straight after… taking it to $270.

          There's one way these could be legit stock - if they were stolen. Anyone else got any ideas?

          @thewinchester: you'd call this a fmcg? Wow disposable imcome has really shot up in the last few years… Many goods have mark ups of over 100% at final retail from distribution (bar computing goods which are on much thinner margins), so it's not unreasonable to suggest this, being a premium priced and segment leading product could be as well.

        • turkz1 on 11/03/2018 - 00:42

          @kwchaz: cheapest was the ebay mega sale when shopmonk was announced. $249 I believe but grey.

        • kwchaz on 11/03/2018 - 10:23

          @turkz1:

          Ok ok to be very very specific then… cheapest AU stock of the QC35 etc. ;) $250's a banger of a deal though.

        • hollykryten on 11/03/2018 - 12:04

          @turkz1:

          Wasn't that $249 price on the eBay mega sale for the original QC35 ?.

        • thewinchester on 11/03/2018 - 15:11

          @kwchaz: Fair cop, considering I mentioned a price what wasn’t available to the public at large.

        • thewinchester on 11/03/2018 - 15:17

          @wolfshooter: Presuming a 100% markup on RRP, that still puts these at an estimated cost of ~$250.

          Even factoring in the remote possibility that whomever is selling these bought an insane number of units (i’d be thinking at least two standard sea containers filed to the gills), I can’t envision a COGS (cost of goods sold) scenario where they break even or make enough money for it to be worthwhile to sell these at a bargain basement price.

      The shopmonk deal was true: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/314301

      • hollykryten on 11/03/2018 - 12:07

        To be clear. That was for the original QC35 and it was during was mid 2016 and it was a grey import.

        That is a completely different model from the QC35 II.

        • boretentsu on 11/03/2018 - 12:48

          However the price discount was still proportionate at the time.

        • urbancartel on 11/03/2018 - 19:43

          To be clear it was mid 2017 ;)

    It's a price-error likely. All the headphones sold by the seller is priced at the same price. https://www.amazon.com.au/s?marketplaceID=A39IBJ37TRP1C6&me=…

    If you check the items for sale from the seller, you can see that there are numerous 'fake'/replica products for sale e.g rare shoes a fraction of the market prices.

    Bought 2 one from each color lol. Waiting for 2 x $50 vouchers :D

      This is what i was thinking - price error maybe you'll get a $50 voucher or at worse your money back and a free pair of fakes

      • samelight on 11/03/2018 - 01:59

        do i need to send it back on my own cost if its fake?

        • Gnosh on 11/03/2018 - 13:48

          Someone can correct me but I think sending anything fake by mail isn't permitted, so for this reason you wouldn't have to.

        • samelight on 11/03/2018 - 13:51

          @Gnosh:
          first time heard of this…really?!u kidding right?

          @samelight:
          Nope… AFAIK police would tell you to destroy it, as it can't legally be sold or distributed

      Sense of entitlement?.

    • JTTheMan on 12/03/2018 - 12:41

      That sounds like a plan but how reliable is the Amazon voucher gift?

      This is guaranteed to be a scam so if the Amazon voucher is also a guarantee then it would be smart to make this "purchase"?

  • Jaso n on 10/03/2018 - 23:16

    fake?

      Either fake or price error.

    If you click more from other sellers, it says there is another one for $169 + $3.50 delivery. Also a new store. Perhaps too good to be true?

      I’m pretty sure the $50 credit for price errors in the past has only ever been issued when Amazon themselves were the sellers?

        I got nothing when am item I ordered was out of stock, and remained listed as available after my order was cancelled. Amazon don't care about how dodgy their third party sellers are.

        The only thing I got was multiple emails from the seller upset that I left them negative feedback.
