Low price due to clearance. Don't know if these are any good or if there are many in stock, only just spotted them on Officeworks' website. Gonna ring them up tomorrow to see if they got them in stock. Thought to share this while I'm at it. =)

    Excellent…even better value than http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/42404

  • m2000 on 09/04/2011 - 22:02

    Very good price but I don't see much of the Lexar retrax at OfficeWorks.. but you may be lucky!
    However if you need to order it online, will need to add ~$4.xx & Delivery Cost making it not attractive deal.

  • Coops1 on 09/04/2011 - 22:14

    with all these OW clearances, try to order and no stock available unless you try every store and maybe get lucky. If anybody gets one please post it up!!

    • dirtyhen on 09/04/2011 - 22:30

      pricematch from other retailers?

  • ironsword on 09/04/2011 - 22:19

    What's with OW online "handling fee" of $4.95.

    • Steptoe on 09/04/2011 - 22:23

      special order and delivery to the store, where you can pick up. Obviously if it was in stock at your local store it's a waste of a fiver.

    • spodosaurus on 09/04/2011 - 23:30

      Even with, it's still a fair price for an 8GB drive, and a good price if you;re ordering more than one.

    I've got one of these, I haven't done any full tests, but based on my year using it compared to my other 3 USBs and other people's I can say it's not going to be painfully slow like some cheaper ones :)

    ed: it's also stood up well to abuse i.e. dropping it onto hard surfaces frequently, getting washed a couple of times in the washing machine.. no visible signs of damage unless you count logo fading.

      My 32 gig has been more then fine too.

      • windsurfer-sp on 21/05/2011 - 20:57

        Scratch that, they are junk. Died on me after about the tenth use.

        • windsurfer-sp on 21/05/2011 - 20:58

          But OW has excellent refund policy.

      I bought a 16GB version last year, and it was a great drive, good speed, no fuss. After about 6 months of regular use (including no dropping, washing or other violent acts) the sliding mechanism seems to have worked something loose so I can no longer copy data over. I'm contemplating returning it under warranty but haven't been bothered to call lexar. Anyways, just something to think about.

    Interesting Mark, Yeah I also wash my USB sticks in the washing to keep it clean.

        You should complain to Apple, the guys at the Apple store said you had to 'sink' it! ;)

      Yep, right there with you…I'm fairly certain my old Sandisk Cruzer Micro was starting to grow scales & gills, it was spending so much time in the water! :p

    • MHLoppy on 10/04/2011 - 02:19

      not intentional :P they used to live in my pockets 95% of the time I was awake, so everytime I forgot to take them out, they got a bath :)

    I also have one of these. Performance has been satisfactory. It's not blazingly fast, neither is it watch the grass growing slow.

    What is NOT satisfactory is the fact that I bought it for $10! And it was on store special then - limit one per customer and only in that store. Grrrr. It was less than 3 weeks ago.

    :p

          I kid :D

        • retiredfeline on 11/04/2011 - 12:04

          I suppose $5.91 is better than $0.00. :)

    Hehe, "THEY ALSO RECOMMEND" the 16gb Lexar for only $69…!

  • Mugsy on 10/04/2011 - 08:48

    Got the 16Gb variant from HN for %19 a while back. Was slower than my Sandisk Cruzer 16Gb. I guess 8GB for $5.91 isn't bad… but I'll wait for a decent price on the 16Gb sticks.

  • TScott on 10/04/2011 - 09:11

    Hey guys, does anyone know how to check stock levels of each officeworks stores online (like dicksmith)? Is it even possible?

      don't think is possible

    Went to OW Collingwood (Vic) today. None in stock. Staff Member stated "Ï don't know why we stock them anyway. Most of them come back to us for exchange or refund after they fail after a couple of days". So I didn't worry about checking at the other stores in the area.

    • tebbybabes on 11/04/2011 - 12:00

      I can report that one of my 4Gb Lexar retrax sticks failed 2 days after. It was promptly replaced and all has been well.

    • retiredfeline on 11/04/2011 - 12:03

      Thanks for the heads up.

    • meong on 11/04/2011 - 17:05

      I went to the one in Bell St, Preston this morning. I was told that these Lexar 8GB for $5.91 was ONLINE ONLY.

      "Does it say clearance? If it says clearance then it's online only."

  • CVonC on 11/04/2011 - 17:38

    none @ OW Blacktown
