Totally agree
Give us a explanation of your price jacking store rep!
DSE/Kogan/amaysim has had P20 Pro for $879/$820
Should wait for another deal from those people and pricematch with OfficeworksI see the OP/store rep has posted after a "please explain"
lets see how many posts they make before/if they actually answer all the questions bar this one
Should wait for another deal from those people and pricematch with Officeworks
Officeworks will not beat deals that require a coupon code.
OW will price match on the exact models only. Kogan et al are all imported models which is different from Australia model numbers. Not to mention they are only 1 year warranty vs local stock model of 2 years.
@AHUANG: What about oppo R15 pro price ?

@eug:
Officeworks will not beat deals that require a coupon code.Incorrect. OW did for me last year, price beat vs Mobile City 10% with TA code https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/289324
I ran through the process in store on their PC with the staff member (might have been a manager) and they beat it, which included a 10% off code that he watched me use and fully knew about it.
@nismo: You just got lucky. It happens from time to time. The coupon exclusion is very clearly stated on their website - look at the big red PRICE BEAT label.
Try it again and you will probably fail, like many others here who have tried.
@eug:
It honestly wasn't that heard to achieve, no hassling or heckling. No point making bold statements because you weren't successful.
It's better to say "you might have trouble price matching with a coupon" because it's against policy, but some have had success so try your luck.
It honestly wasn't that heard to achieve, no hassling or heckling. No point making bold statements because you weren't successful.
I know how easy it can be, as I have successfully gotten prices matched when they weren't supposed to.
But the official line is no - their policy clearly states that they do not, and many people have tried and reported back that it does not work.Your case is an outlier, as was mine. It is far more likely that someone will have trouble price matching with a coupon, so I won't be telling everyone that they can when it is such a clear, obvious exclusion.
@eug: Agree with eug here. It just really depends who you get and even what store you go to price match.
Some employees are totally fine with price matching and couldn't care less with coupon codes, some are really strict and even get a bit aggressive.
@hellohello123 He is busy counting the people that were made fool off with their fake pricing cartel
Looking at your retail prices, whoever is selling you those phones is ripping you off then.
We always tried to source best deal we can, with those flagship most retailer get almost nothing in margin, Honstly I can assured you most people here getting better price(after discount) than what we can buy for. (Peronsally I love OZB community, no reason for me to make up any story;))
@AHUANG: Does that mean after the sale is over, you will keep the retail price the same. For example Note 9 for AU $1,919.99.
A yes or a no, both are wrong answersWell he's already told you…Its + min. margins. Ebay 20% off involves Ebay paying 10% and then takes 10% off from AllPhones margins so they price phones higher to achieve these margins. After promos they can lower a bit and still achieve that same % margin because Ebay isn't taking that 10%.
@fuzor: do i as a consumer care about what percentages who takes. He says the prices aren't jacked.
My question is simple. After the Coupon expires, does the list price remain the same? Samsung's rrp $1799 allphones list price $1920 after 3%discnote 9 will stay at similar price for while, BTW we also reduce price around $90 today.
easy for your to monitor sold histroy or revision details
@AHUANG: Who cares that you have discounted the Samsung Note 9 128GB variant by $90 when you are selling it now for $1,604.99 which is more than the $1,499 RRP. Might as well raise it even higher and claim you have discounted it by $900.
@fuzor: Why call it 20% sale then. Call it 10% or dont take part. It is false advertising and retailers have been fined in the past for similar actions.
How come few sellers manage to keep the same price and call it actual sale.
Came here for this
Lifehacker obviously haven't looked at ebay sales for some time…
this is the first time we've seen a current-gen phone priced higher than the RRP.
iPhoneX were regularly inflated since their launch for 20% off ebay sales.
Yes. I know u love us, but sorry we don't love u back…
do u have to post the deal after officework closed?
They wouldn't pricematch coupon price. Do they?
everything is possible with OW now ;)
Good to know. Has anyone had any success
All Phone? All lair.
The Iphone X 256GB on your ebay link is $1813.99, after 20% off is $1451.19
Smart move Op. Nice way to remove a comment that may affect sales
Great seller this one.
It's $1,758.99 and $1,407 after the discount for me
Silver is $1,813.99
But the deal is for Grey
during every ebay sales/events Allphones sounds more like Alljacks.
Rrp minus 20% = deal
Regular price minus 20% = ozbargain.com.au dealJack squared = no deal
agreed.
love the retarded ebay response, typical corporate BS that doesnt even answer the question,
followed by paragraphs of irrelevant fluff, hoping that readers are illiterate or are asleep by the end or have forgottenYea ikr so spot on. Well said.
I agree. eBay can't pass the blame on to the third parties. They are the ones running the "sales" and they are profiting from it. The higher the sale price, the more fee eBay makes.
That price beat they mention. I have tried so many times and they have a cap of $150, plus I have never seen them offering extra 5%. That $150 barely makes it for jacked price.
Id hold off the iphone X $1400 is pretty normal now & will only get cheaper, wait to see how they price the new models next week
Who cares about price jacking? What I care about is the final price.
I care and many other people do too.
I've learned to ignore marketing fluff and look at literally the only thing that matters - the final price. It makes zero difference to me what a store says - 10% off, 50% off, 90% off - none of that matters. What matters is what I have to pay at the end, because that is what makes it a bargain or not.
Why get so hung up on things and miss the bigger picture?
"It makes zero difference to me what a store says"
That's where you are wrong.
If everyone like you that "don't care" didn't buy from them and put up with there jacking then they would change there ways due to less sales which would mean not only a better price for you but for everyone.So while it is technically a bargain and technically a saving for you, you are contributing to the problem of price jacking rather than help stop it.
Whilst the final price is the most important thing, price jacking is just unethical.
There's a whole different meaning if I say, you're saving 50% from $1800 but I never actually sell it at that price and it's in reality a saving 10% from $1000.
If everyone like you that "don't care" didn't buy from them and put up with there jacking then they would change there ways due to less sales which would mean not only a better price for you but for everyone.
Sure. But you have to realize you're fighting a losing battle. I pick my battles.
Now, if, instead of everyone complaining about it here which makes absolutely no difference, they lodged a complaint with Fair Trading (assuming there is a legit case), then that could actually make a difference.
So while it is technically a bargain and technically a saving for you, you are contributing to the problem of price jacking rather than help stop it.
Absolutely nobody here is helping stop it by simply complaining on this forum. Nothing will change. If people want it to change, they have to actually put their time where their keyboard is and lodge a formal complaint, after ensuring there really is a good case.
Otherwise you're all contributing to the problem as well.
@eug:
"Otherwise you're all contributing to the problem as well."No, No we're not.
"Now, if, instead of everyone complaining about it here which makes absolutely no difference, they lodged a complaint with Fair Trading (assuming there is a legit case)"
Would if i had the time and knew how to.
What i can do is type a few comments like these on Ozbargain on deals like this from price jacking sellers to get more awareness out there and possibly less sales for them rather than just accepting it.
@Axelstrife: Agree with you 100%. I need two phones pretty soon but because of their price jacking behaviour, i wont pay them a cent
@OhTeri BhenDi: I start my new job Monday and first thing i need to buy after is a new mobile and price jackers like this are 100% off of my radar when i start looking.
Would if i had the time and knew how to.
You can start here.
First make sure there really is a solid case - otherwise you'd be wasting their time and resources.
It really can make a difference. Kogan has gotten in trouble before.
So if you actually want to help stop it, you need to lodge a formal complaint. Complaining here will not change their behavior. Only large fines and bad PR in the news will - at least for a while.
By that logic conmen turning up at your grandmother's door and ripping her off should be seen as OK. A lot of our society is taught that any sort of critical thinking is an evil thing, and they enforce the same onto their children. They believe that they are being protected and a claim of a saving is real.
There must be some sort of protection for vulnerable people in contrast to an individual's selfish gains.
By that logic conmen turning up at your grandmother's door and ripping her off should be seen as OK.
How does your logic equate AllPhones selling an iPhone X for $1407 (the same one Officeworks is selling for $1749), to a grandmother being ripped off at home by conmen?
What about Bunnings, where lowest prices are just the beginning? Are they ripping everybody off by claiming they have the lowest prices?
Should I warn my grandmother about Chemist Warehouse, who claim to be Australia's Cheapest Online Pharmacy according to the header on a google search, or the very misleading signage in front of their stores where "Is this?" is in small print?
Why aren't people being protected from these massive companies' claims?
"Who cares about defrauding people."
"Who cares about defrauding people."
If you classify it as fraud, why don't you lodge a formal complaint? Or are you happy to 'contribute to the problem' as well?
a lot of people have complained to the ACCC. They don't do anything.
@Frayin:
https://www.smh.com.au/technology/accc-fines-kogan-32400-for…You have to make sure there really is a case first.
Thanks OP…..just in time to upgrade our 2 x S6 Edge's that just hit 3 years old….
Have to give a huge thanks to OP, Legend, sold me a Macbook pro for a very good price !
Will wait to see the price of new iPhone, possibliy buying IpX if the price dropping to $1300-1350 after Apple event.
Yep, you’d be mad to buy any iPhone now.
Wait the couple of weeks and then decide, once prices drop.
OP Here is a new username suggestion
Jack3DDo you even lift?
Yes, The Prices
(profanity) Jackphones.
Despite the negativity of this post, it made it to the front page in the end.
Iphone XS will be announced in one week, don't get this one
Iphone XS
so it's smaller?
Only the size, not the price
Actually reports are it will be $100 USD cheaper (for the same size as this one) …. but we'll see
XS (Excess) makes me think it's bigger.
does "AU Stock" actually mean it is an Australian model, or does it just mean that it is a grey import that happens to already be stocked (apparently ) in a warehouse somewhere in Australia?
I suspect I know the answer and I really wish ebay would cut out that BS.
I suspect I know the answer and I really wish ebay would cut out that BS.
I suspect you have the wrong answer. :)
The listing clearly says "100% Australian stock". AllPhones (now owned by Mobileciti) has always sold Australian stock.
Fair enough. I've seen it with some other ebay sellers though. Clearly misleading.
Yeah, they often list themselves as being located in Darwin, NT too. I have to look at the estimated shipping time to try and guess whether or not they really are in Australia.
Allphones aus watranty with jacked up prices.officeworrks pricematch is better.
Price matched with whom? They have it listed at full RRP, $1,749.
Do people feel that phone is getting more and more expensive? A price of an iPhone is enough for me to build a customised gaming PC with top specs.
Moron Donald Trump is not helping by engaging trade war.
Can you put that gaming pc in your pocket? It is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. You may not spend $1.5K on a phone but there's a huge amount of people that will… And don't bring the great and powerful into this!
Do people feel that phone is getting more and more expensive?
Top-tier phones actually used to be around this price, e.g. the Nokia N95 was $1,349 in 2008.
Prices gradually went down (could have something to do with the AUD getting really strong) with e.g. the Galaxy S3 costing $899 in 2012. But recently they've been on the rise again - and the AUD has been going down as well. That probably has something to do with it.
Lots has changed in the cheaper end of the market though. In 2008 a $500 phone would be pretty awful. Today a $500 phone can be fantastic.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S1 for about $550 brand new in 2008, it was their flagship phone at the time (Note series didn't exist at that time).
Haha I remember that. The Galaxy S was actually released in 2010 for $859 ($839 outright at Optus). The S2 was $779, the Note was $740. Imported stock would have been cheaper.
Then the S3 went up to $899, S4 $798, S5 $929, and it kept going up from there.
Yeah they are getting insane.
Unless you HAVE to get an iphone there are much cheaper Android alternatives that are still top specs for $1000 and under, phones like Oneplus 6 (soon 6t) or Mi mix 2s (soon Mi mix 3) or Oppo Find X to name a few.
and Alot cheaper mid range android phones like Nokia 7 plus or Mi A2 and more.Then there's the pocophone f1 that extremely cheap and top speced.
I can't agree with you more
Me likey price jacky
This really paints a clear picture.
Wow op got my comment “agreed” removed
Take solace in the current amount of negs. OzB should deny any deals that follow this sort of practice. eBay is just abusing OzB as far as I'm concerned now.
New iPhone coming soon?
I wonder if iPhone SE will make a comeback, with the X variant. Now that’s iPhone SEX.
More like XSE or XE
Boo! That’s so unSEXy.
Say No to the Jack!
Apple already did

As much as I can see a decent deal here, I refuse to buy from allphones because your price jacking on ebay is ridiculous and beyond joke
