    How do people find out about these pricing errors so quickly? Is there some kind of software that scours the web and sends you alerts?

      People are bound to be shopping anywhere on the web. If they see a deal that's too good to be true, they're bound to want to share it.

      I was actually just browsing and noticed it.

      decided to post to OZB to reward my family.

      • +3

        God bless you

      • Oh man sucks if you missed out and someones else gets it. You should have done a quick click and collect and then posted it after you got one. Thanks for sharing anyway

      • If I were you I'd get one first… :P

    • This is what we live for

  • Sales Order Cancellation email

  • bought 2 on credit card. lets see where this goes. probably a plow to increase cashflow before financial year end

  • Almost went through, but timed out on GG, price is back to $1098..

    No luck at Officeworks.

    • what were the odds???

      • According to their policy, high. However the agent on the phone told me they couldn't find the price. When I gave them the direct link even "hmm, nope says not found"

        • What's their policy?

  • OzBargained

  • Got an email saying Your order is being processed.

    Cheers.

    • All ways happen, don't worry you cannot get.

  • This is my version of playing the Lotto.

    Also, this thread will replace going out tonight.

    Do you reckon people get fired/official warnings for these kind of stuff ups? It must create a massive headache for stores, accountants and the warehouses.

    • +2

      agree. want to know too.
      how come there is no ozb member that also who work for GG? must be one at least.

    • +2

      The board would love the final day of revenue though.

      Refunds will conveniently be sent in the new FY.

      • Nah. It will still be receivables. I paid using Paypal. They will not be THAT efficient.

    • Person that does it just needs to buy a bunch and sell them for crazy profit after they get fired. ez

  • +5

    Anyone who has a C&C. I suggest you go to the store if it's close by and just say that you got the email for the C&C but mention nothing of the price or item. It might go through as just an order number rather than anything else…. if you're lucky.

    • +2

      Agreed. I’d be there now if I could have ordered via CC.

      • Mine's 20 mins away nad I finish work in 90minutes :(

    • +1

      I agree, and just hope it's not one of the stores that someone has already called to check if it's a price error. I'm in shock that people have done that.

    Thank you OP. I just got myself one I cant thank you enough. Im literally shaking from the excitement <3

    • +1

      Pics please!

    • Pics or it didn't happen

    • C&C? Did you get a confirmation email? Did you just go in?

    • did you order one or already picked it up :P ?

    • We need pics and a receipt to go to Officeworks and pricematch!

    • I feel like I believe you….please don't disappoint me with a lie.

  • +13

    I think TGG are doing this on purpose as it has happened more than once. Think about it…

    1) Post a price error to get people to order product X like crazy.
    2) Send apology email with a $10 voucher with a minimum $50 spend.
    3) Since people now have a $10 voucher they will now go and shop at TGG en masse.
    4) PROFIT!

    Don't fall for their scheme.

    I've just picked up mine in-store too.

    Will add it to my TRS Kitty for next month's trip for an extra 10% off. I think I forgot to click on Cashrewards though in my haste!

    • +1

      Receipt photo?

    • lol…pic or dint happen..

    • Congrats :)

    • +1

      Min $300 spend for trs cash back I believe

      • haha why bother

      • Have other items purchased during TGG20 to take me beyond $300.

        • $300 in total per reciept I think

        • +3

          @Turd:

          No, it's cumulative for the same store.

          Meanwhile, back at the Samsung Ranch…

    • can you take a pic of the full receipt so we can try a price match?

    • -3

      The odd one or two people managing to pickup one due to timing and or staff stupidity doesn't make this a deal.

    • TRS won't work if you don't have a minimum $300 spend per retailer.

  • +2

    Leaving work in 7 minutes, and it's a 40 minute bus to my nearest store… Not sure if it's worth a crack to try and pick it up

  • God damn anyone else just get a docket invoice canceling your order? On my way to pick it up so I’m still gonna try..

  • if I ordered 10 phone does that mean I will get x10 gift cards i.e 100 dollas

    • that means you need to spend over $50 x 10

      • +1

        Store credits from TGG never have min spends even though they stipulate them btw

    • Yeah it will be 10x $10 off purchases over $50 coupons.

  • did anyone manage to get a price beat from OW?
    I bought one each (black and gold). what are the chances I get at least one?
    Zero! :D

    For those who are claiming to have successfully managed a C+C. Please post a picture before a comment.

  • This will turn into a controversy for those who ordered, as similar below https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/278966
    Some received, but many haven't…

    • it's the luck of the draw, and be quick.

    • I actually got several of the 1 cent hats. I donated them to a friends work place to elderly gentlemen who loved them.

      Missed this deal but no doubt most would be cancelled.

  • Got my phone….NOT

    Pigs fly in the sky

    Yeah no go guys. Just tried picking up.

    • What did they say/which store?

      • +5

        Good Guys at Gepps Cross SA. I think I was the first one there because they had no idea until the guy going to get it for me looked at the invoice and then called his manager over. Then there was a whole team meeting thing and they said due to the error it can't be honoured.

        • Damn :/ however, it's not my store so there might still be hope for me…

    • +7

      How did it go down, OzB loves gossip.

      • +6

        I was so close. Went to the checkout saying I was there to pick something up. Got the confirmation up on my phone and got asked to show some photo ID. Did that, and they PA'd someone to get the phone for me. Thought I was getting away with some Oceans 11 shit until it took like five minutes for the same guy to surface with manager in tow. Then they just said there was an error and they have a condition on their site that deals with price errors online.

          I had a similar experience with a 3DS XL that Target had a price error with (but no stock), it was about $200 off. JB sales guy was about to put it through the register and give it to me when at the last minute he decided to call his manager who said no dice. So frustrating, but also kinda fun for the thrill of trying to get away with a perfectly legal heist.
