Great price. Just reserved myself one at Geelong but would expect there to be stock all over.
Spec says 1tb but store confirmed it's 5tb.

Sorry, but we could not add this product into your cart
Op. Make sure you take a photo of the price for when you collect. This is definitely a price error.
Price error. Can't check out.
price error…i'd be surprised if Officeworks honored this anywhere.
They should honour their mistakes
I'm about to walk on to pick up .. let's see.
Godspeed.
How did you go?
@dlovep: Definately 5tb. It's a website mistake though. They only honoured it because I noticed it and called to reserve one. At first he said I could only have one, then said "it's Friday, have two".
@chutibuti: You've got you commitment levels all wrong. I commute to Melbourne for work, 115 each way. ;-)
@combatant: I have plenty of rechargeables but I needed some aaa's for the kids toys/emergencies.
Often batteries die and none have been charged or we're on the road and need batteries.
May be typo 5tb. Part number STHN1000401 is 1tb.
…yeh it looks to be a 1TB according to the specs
…if you click the specs on the product page it states 1TB.
that price for portal 5tb no way - price error
I had it in my hands waiting for a guy to come and verify the price match and I refreshed the website and it said 1tb :(
Lucky op
yep its refreshed to 1TB!
yep tried to call sydney store and they already knew about it LOL
so their IT department is fixing the problem now dammtried another store and yep they mustve got all the memo asap saying its incorrect
damm why didn't i open ozbargain at 8am lol
Every Sydney Ozbargainer would have already tried to buy 10 I imagine.
hahahahaha agreed
Tried here in Melb, no dice! All the stock was verified to be $299. I didn't even need this and yet I tried to get it lol
Damn lol
Nice luck OP, bonus getting a second too!
Gotta say you cut it a bit close to post it before actually picking it up yourself heheI'm ever the altruist.
Went to the nearest store and showed them the website while it was still showing 5TB, they said it is pricing error and apologized. I left the store crying.
there there, here's a +1 to cheer u up!
As a final comment, fair play to Officeworks in this situation.
We often see price errors posted here with retailers not owning their mistakes. Officeworks didn't need to sell it to me at the $99 and yet they did. As such, I say, "well done Officeworks"!
I think fair play to the chap who served you would be more appropriate?
Yeah that too, but he was told to honour it by the website team
Its over guys! lol
Just spoke to someone on the phone from my local OW store and they didn’t want to honour the mistake, maybe stores like JbHiFi and OW shouldn’t make so many mistakes! I’ve been told that when a store makes a price error that they have to honour their mistakes no matter what
they are not obligated to honor mistakes…
@Golly1153 you've been told wrong. Otherwise a small error could completely decimate a small business.
They did honour it, to the person that noticed and reserved one whent he price was still in error.
In the meantime, they fixed the error and therefore do not need to honour it.
In your mind, do you think you can go back to an advertised price 3 years ago and demand that they honour that price? No, Pricing is a variable that can change and they must only honour it if advertised at the point of purchase.
Frustrating, yes, but everyone makes mistakes (even "big businesses"). Just need to act fast when somethign is obviously a price error to take advantage of a mistake whilst you can.
On cars they could.😂😂😂
i dont understand why pricing errors on websites still occur… surely their systems can have some simple rules such as:
If newprice < oldprice -20% , sendformanagerreview
If newprice < buyprice, sendformanagerreview
If itemordercount increase by 200% in 5min, sendformanagerreviewBecause that makes a lot of sense to a developer, but for some reason they have not implemented it.
Common guys… Its business just be glad they are willing to honor it.
In Asia they will just charge the additional to your credit card as error price to make you return it and if it's opened thats your problem.
Welcome to the world of different business ethics.
Everybody makes mistakes when the day comes… AI takes over… there will no longer be such bargains like this anymore be glad we live in a generation where there are such flaws and not the perfect automation world
Well that world is already in progress
OP did well!.
I was going to post the OW 4TB seagate backup plus for $158.00 I saw last night, new look models out for $199.00.
That poor woman
Why?
It was already stated as a price error.
Poor girl. She doesn't get paid enough to deal with people like you.
It wont let me add it to the cart
