I thought this was a good deal for AU/NZ stock.
Called Officeworks they price matched and beat it by 5%. In store available too.
After using for a week, I like the product, it understands what I say + good integrations + can hear from every room in my apartment.
Probably the one computer from that era that hasn't appreciated in price. Stick to the c64 jv.
Do you realise that Tandy online is basically Kogan. This isn't really Tandy from the old days. Kogan bought out the rights to use the Tandy business name when they also bought out Dick Smith.
No 'Radio Shack' or Realistic' brand stock?
I didn't even realise Tandy still existed.
It doesn't really exist as the old Tandy. Kogan bought out the business name for Tandy. But this isn't really Tandy from the old days such as the B&M shops. It's basically just a rebrand shop front for Kogan. Just like Dick Smith online isn't really Dick Smith from the old days but another shop front for Kogan.
Wiki In April 2001, Woolworths Limited acquired Tandy Electronics with 222 stores for $112.6 million from InterTAN Australia Limited (a subsidiary of International Tandy). Despite also owning Dick Smith Electronics, the Tandy stores continued to trade as separate entities. In May 2016, Kogan.com acquired the Tandy brand name and in February 2017 relaunched the company as Tandy.com.au.
Heh TIL Tandy is still a thing. Takes me back to primary school days…
Sadly Tandy and Dick Smith from the old days no longer exists. Now both business names are owned by Kogan and basically just sell what Kogan does from their warehouse.
So you can rest assured that this Google Home will ship from the Kogan warehouse.
Oh gosh, I didn't realise Tandy still existed! Glad to see good ol' brands like Tandy and Dick Smith still kicking around in their original form, just like in the old days! They'll give these modern upstarts like Harvey Norman and Kogan a run for their money!
😳
Um, no.
What!? I'm in genuine disbelief and feeling shocked! If only there were an overly helpful OzBargainer willing to jump in and correct my wayward assumption with details of who owns what business names these days and thus who is really supplying items ordered from those sites - I would continue living in ignorance no more!
I think it is controlled by Mr. Dick Smith himself from his Terry Hills residence (also known as National Geographic headquarters)
I see what you did there.
Any good TRS-80 deals ???
