Hi all,
For those that missed out on the previous popular Pixel 2 XL deal (Thanks Tightarse), it is back again for the eBay 10% Sitewide code PRINCE10. Also some good prices on some existing Samsung and LG handsets.
The discount for the LG V30+ is applied at checkout.
Thank you!
Not really, last year's phones should have been much lower.
Officeworks are selling the S9 for $799 how you think this is a great deal i got no idea
s9 or s9+? I'd happily pay $30 more for a bigger screen… But still wouldn't pay over $500 for a phone.
my bad i didnt see the '+'
It’s the plus, how you think it isn’t a good deal I don’t know.
$1147 at Office Works, doesn’t compare.
Samsung EPP was selling S9+/64 for ~$747 (S9 Plus; Samsung / not Telstra branded).
any s8 deals?
I have double checked your warranty status and unfortunately, your device is out of warranty.
The Nexus 6P 64GB comes with 12 months warranty.
Kind regards

Yeah, I will never trust this store again
Make a complaint to the fair trade ombudsman,
That's against consumer law
Wow that is bad form. Will also buy from elsewhere.
What's the issue? Is 12 month warranty a no-no?
Pretty sure that a new phone sold by an Australian business is required to come with 2 year warranty under Australia Consumer Law.
They claim Australian stock. It should be 2 years warranty.
Their after sales service is atrocious. Phones almost always have an issue in my experience. Never going with them again. Absolute nightmare to get it sorted.
Aren't they new phones? Why would they have issues?
Manufacturing faults.
920 had a fault with the screen (yellowing issue and then went into a boot loop)
Moto G5 (Image retention)
Nexus 6P (battery shutdown issue)
Worst experience was with the G5. They told me to stop using it with auto brightness and set the brightness to low so I couldn't see the image retention. It was almost insulting. The phone was only 3 or so months old.
Took about as long for them to accept it for a return. If you're Sydney based it would be okay as you can visit them.
@giventofly: No worries. Sounds like a run of bad luck rather than anything sinister?
Anyway just ordered a V30 so hopefully no issues. :)
@EightImmortals: Run of bad luck with phones, absolutely. It's commonplace now. Brothers G6 has image retention, but my G6 is totally fine.
As I said last time. That pixel 2 is extremely overpriced.
None of the Pixels are good value.
Google started the notion of good value with the Gnex (Galaxy Nexus) when it made a massive price cut in early 2012, and good value at Google died with the Nexus 5X. Their best offering/ambition was definitely the Nexus 4 in 2012, giving the iPhone 5 a run for its money.
If you want value these days, you're pretty much looking at Xiaomi.
LG was been offering some great deals on the LG V20, LG G6, LG V30… slashing the price 40-60% off RRP after 6-12months of initial release. At least these give you some flagship luxuries that Xiaomi lacks (waterproofing, speakers, screen, camera, etc etc).
The thing that keeps me away from Samsung is their atrocious warranty procedure for root (and software in general), ever-increasing prices, and the curved glass thats fragile af/expensive to replace. The flat-screened S10e seems like a winner, if you can get it priced for $600 (Telstra staff) or even for $800 (Westpac bankers).
Yeah my first android was a LG G6 almost on release for an amazing price.
Next phone will be an LG as well.
V30+ ordered. Dropped my V20 yesterday on a rock and smashed the screen. Thanks OP
Bugger. V30 is a worthy upgrade. Better cameras and 835 soc is tops. Battery life is superb
I'd buy the pixel 2xl if I didn't own one already.
The best phone you can get for that price without a doubt
Ignorance is bliss.
It's an overpriced bad phone actually, with an overhyped camera.
I really believe that pixels are, by far, the worst flagship phones.
Ignorance is truly bliss
You just described iPhones and Samsungs
Pixels are way worse phones than both of them.
You really need to be a blind fanboy to buy a pixel, they somehow managed to have worse value for money than Apple.
@nikoris: If you think Apple has better value for money than Pixel then you just admitted you have no clue
@customundo: iPhone holds value for longer, gets supported for longer, is more reliable, has more features, has local support with stores, has better ecosystem, is better quality. These are just the obvious. I would take an xr over a pixel RRP anyway. I have come from a long line of nexus and pixel. Pixel is worth nexus price.
@onlinepred: You forgot to mention iphones are "supported" to upgrade every 12 months or when a new iOS firmware is released to slow down your phone on purpose. Also there was something about not being able to put your iPhone in your pocket to avoid getting a bent phone. Pixels over iPhones any day, heck even Huawei has overtaken apple in build quality.
The screen on the pixel 2 XL is trash
Apart from that and the speaker it's a good phone
All relative lol $700 is a bit much for pixel 2xl but can be found cheaper also the android updates and camera are great. Google experience is good.
Apart from android anything apple will be overpriced but people see value in different things. The iPhone X is still $1500 which is crazy
Can't believe it but went for LG again after the crap I had with the G4. I simply don't want to spend $800+ for a phone. If no one else will do a flagship for a decent price, so be it. Paid by CC not Paypal to remove that layer of BS if I have trouble. (Buyer protection my butt!)
V30 is superb dude. No more bootloop issues. As far as I am concerned, their only lacking area is software currency.
Still doing better than the aud
TRS noob here. So if a phone is $697 (pixel example) with discount code. Can I divide 1.1 to get the tax value. e.g. ~$633 with the refund?
Yeah that's right. Although if you buy it, the tax invoice will explicitly state the GST amount so no calculation required!
Would definitely fork out for the s9+. Great deal.
