    Good burner phone at a fiver apiece,

    Hahaha this is gold. Good find, and good work jb.

    Technically however I expect this falls into the "<10 available" category.

    • cooljeeves22 on 22/03/2019 - 20:02

      I mean I obviously bought one, I'm not sure though how many more they have in stock

      • incipient on 22/03/2019 - 20:10

        Haha yeah, still a legit buy. For those reporting it as insufficient, no evidence to say it is.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2019 - 22:03

        Should of bought them all and offload to ozb community.

        I would of been happy to pay double, and curious to see how many they had.

            @JerryB: Nope, helping the ozb community is different to broden.

            Broden would be offloading them at 20x the price

    Used to have this phone was great in its time
    From memory only 1GB Ram but speed was quite decent.

  • RZ123 on 22/03/2019 - 19:46

    Hi Guys do you know if any other store selling?

    • Bellpop on 22/03/2019 - 19:49

      Yeah, most stores sell

      Glad to help

    • jcft on 22/03/2019 - 19:49

      Call and ask …..
      Will they price match the Chadstone store

    • UnderWaterLlama on 22/03/2019 - 20:03

    LOL Galaxy S7 Edge for $499 is a joke. Do they even understand what "cheap as" means? lol

    • incipient on 22/03/2019 - 20:12
      +6

      Yeah the rest of these prices are just taking the piss.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 22/03/2019 - 20:04

    They either meant 500, or are absolutely taking the piss.

  • asa79 on 22/03/2019 - 20:08

    Wouldnt you be so annoyed if you paid full price for that like last week or so

  • asa79 on 22/03/2019 - 20:08

    Its $5 but probably none in stock

    • HomeAlone on 22/03/2019 - 20:14
      +6

      There is no stock. Called them minutes after the deal was posted and was told no stock. Tried a few more stores and they'd not even heard of the deal.

      The phone is from 2014 so Chadstone probably found 1 somewhere in the warehouse and decided to dump it at $5 to make the sign look better.

      • asa79 on 22/03/2019 - 20:20

        i'm sure there will be a few on ebay from staff in the next few weeks ;)

    • Millikano on 23/03/2019 - 07:18

      Looks like a store-specific sale to clear their last remaining stock of End Of Life products.

      • krouton24 on 23/03/2019 - 08:10

        JB is currently doing stockstake at the moment so likely clearing local stock.

    Those phones under $300 were long discontinued by manufacturers. Should be demo/returned items

  • donamique on 22/03/2019 - 20:13

    All sold out at Chadstone.

  • BargainKen on 22/03/2019 - 20:22

    When was this phone $549? I recall buying a locked Telstra unit for around $30 from woolworths 2-3years ago.

    • pennypincher98 on 22/03/2019 - 20:27

      You sure you aren't confusing this with the 530?

    • cheesecactus on 22/03/2019 - 20:54
      +1

      That's a very different phone

  • Misha Bakunin on 22/03/2019 - 20:22

    Cambwerwell has none and said only Chadstone had any. Chadstone then said they are all sold out.

    I reckon thats that none left, shame I missed out I actually prefer Windows phones…

    I would have used it as my main phone despite it being a little old and the windows phone platform dying.

  • pennypincher98 on 22/03/2019 - 20:26

    Seems to be the cheapest yet

    Thanks for giving me a genuine laugh.

    Proof as well - arguably the most ridiculous receipt I've ever received

    • Yaren24 on 22/03/2019 - 20:59

    Nexus 5X for 299 ripoff.. bought mine for 360 3 years ago. Google doesn't even update this phone anymore.

      not to mention the bootloop issue

    Lol @ the honest staff who actually wrote $5 on the list.

    I'd conveniently leave it out and buy em all for myself lol

    Wow, I paid for this phone whatever the retail was from Mobiciti when it first came out, fkn big mistake that was. Clunky, it ended up going into some unresolvable bootloop. One day it recovered and I gifted it to a sibling and that was the end. Thank goodness Windows Mobile died a quick death

    • Maz78 on 23/03/2019 - 08:46

      I'd disagree. I loved my Lumia WM phones. Quick and easy UI. Best keyboard of any smartphone I've ever used. (Especially when it came to texting and email).
      Awesome camera. Pity the appstore (space) sucked.

      • DemocracyManifest on 24/03/2019 - 13:23

        It was the worst commuting phone, without Google maps capability it was a nightmare. Yeah the appstore was a fail so much crap in it

    • pennypincher98 on 24/03/2019 - 18:56

      I quite liked the tiled home screen.
      The UI was simple.

      Everything else sucked.

  • Hashstrid on 22/03/2019 - 23:18

    How's resale value on these

    • GangGang on 22/03/2019 - 23:29

      $5 or less by the looks of it.

  • yummypinacolada on 23/03/2019 - 02:32

    Lol the only good buy is the $5 phone, other phones are still overpriced.

    Picked up the last 3 from the local. Will use one as a dedicated 4g modem but not sure what to do with the other 2…
