    No Cheap…$168. without Harddisk…

    This is standard pricing, get back to us when you have an actual bargain. Maybe you guys shouldn't have mega bought so many this time.

    It's worth again mentioning mega buys attempted price-fixing and General dodgy behaviour during the initial $169 deal on these..

    Mega buy, you won't be getting mod assisted censorship on this site like you do on ocau.

    • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 08/07/2011 - 11:41

      What censorship? We posted HP MediaSmart Servers a while back and the users were able to post what they thought, have a look for yourself.

      Just because we sponsor OCAU, does not mean we are exempt from peoples opinions.

        Exactly, it wouldn't be proper censorship if there were any traces left. They do a real good job of it over there.

    You might have better luck trying to sell the base one for $250… If the original bargain price was ~$170 and HP then got in the action by selling them direct for $199… It's going to be a hard ask to get very many sales from Ozbargainers for $299!!

    • stumo on 08/07/2011 - 11:24
      +1

      Agreed, $250 shipped is about what they are going for now at the likes of warcom etc. You're going to have to better that to be worthy of bargain status. Pretty soon places like dessytek will be wanting to offload their stock because it isn't moving at these higher prices.

    The web site says $289 delivered for the base unit. NOT $299 as the store rep has posted. Doesn't instill much confidence in using this company.

    Staticice shows cheaper sellers.
    However, avoid the cheapest, Computer World. They went into administration a few years back leaving customers and creditors in the red. Reopened with another family member as head.

    We sold them for $170 last time as well. However, our cost price has risen and we have decided to NOT sell at $5 or $10 above our cost like others. The RRP on the MicroServers by themselves is $599, we are still selling these for over $300 off that!

      Cost price is always an argument that car dealers and salesmen used and I don't buy into this.

      A bargain is cheaper than the others not cheaper than the RRP. Come back to us when you have a great deal otherwise we will go to those that are selling $5 $10 above cost price which you, yourself, admit will not match.

  • mini2 on 08/07/2011 - 11:30

    Yeh and they've forgotten about a photo they've posted on various forums bagging the other resellers in relation to these servers.

    I've recently put in a order for a printer as they turned out to be the cheapest on Staticice, couldn't order it online ended up calling them. Their staff was rude, keep insisting to use the online shop (it doesn't work you ergo the call) and hanged up on me. At the end, I've bought the same printer for $5 more but the other reseller was far easier to deal with…

    Guys, we aren't forcing you to buy from us, if you can get it cheaper somewhere else, go for it, but we just thought we would post what we think is a good deal from our end.

      Based on the number of neg's, you should think harder next time.

    • Ultraman on 08/07/2011 - 11:54

      yeah well, that's the problem, we're getting too many reps offering what they think are bargains… when in reality…

      could reps please re-read the Ozbargain rules & guidelines:
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:rules_guidelines

      Especially note the "CHECK competitors prices before posting."

      If any forum member finds cheaper, it's simple, you get a Neg!!

      I hereby change my neutral vote to a neg.

    • stebie on 08/07/2011 - 11:59

      If we can get it cheaper elsewhere, doesn't that mean this isn't a bargain? I don't normally neg but this isn't a bargain therefore IMO it deserves a neg.

        Afaik, we are the only ones with stock at the moment so we can actually send these out immediately, so I'd say we are the cheapest, unless someone else still has stock.

    • juzz on 14/07/2011 - 09:39

      Well you're alone in thinking this is a good deal! Good luck getting rid of your stock now that HP has offloaded a whole bunch more at a reasonable price.

    • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 08/07/2011 - 11:57

      In reality, you could go read some WP threads for an ACTUAL explanation of our eBay listings. I know you didn't say anything negative, but that listing is current, and right now we do have stock.

      • dav3 on 08/07/2011 - 12:13

        Does it explain why people were left on backorder while you added $150 and threw them on ebay for a quick profit?

        • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 08/07/2011 - 12:24

          From memory, we bought around 300 or 350 units and these sold very quickly (website even went down) and we had to turn customers away and had to cancel their orders after putting them in back order. A few days later, we received like 5-10 extra units which we popped onto eBay. It's the simple truth, we sold these at prices so low we needed to recoup some of our expenses.

  • Naed on 08/07/2011 - 12:13

    How dare you try and make a profit MegaBuy! All this talk of overheads and cost price is just business speak for we're ripping you off.

    But on a serious note, I grabbed one from you guys in the initial onslaught at around $190 delivered and was very happy to take advantage of the price war. Obviously these are still in demand and a somewhat scarce product, so all the best in trying to recoup some of your costs from the initial loss lead sale.

    • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 08/07/2011 - 12:15

      Yeah, we don't need profit to survive… :P

      Finally, one person that understands what a business has to do, glad you are happy with your purchase from us, hope to deal with you again!

    • stumo on 08/07/2011 - 12:19

      There was no loss lead sale, every single one of these sold for profit, even at the initial $169. What are you on about?

      MB tried to do a spot of price-fixing, to make even more profit, but failed. Then they proceeded to Borden via ebay. And brag about it all on wp.

      • Store RepMegaBuy @ MegaBuy on 08/07/2011 - 12:26

        You are correct, we didn't sell at a loss. However, it was so close to our cost that after all expenses we weren't making much at all, and it wasn't working out for us.. It seems that if we don't sell at 2% markup or lower, people are never happy.

        • Naed on 08/07/2011 - 12:30

          Which was my point. Once you take into account overheads (especially with the magnitude of the sale) I'm amazed you guys still made a profit on the sale at all. Congrats.

    • Black Hole on 08/07/2011 - 12:20

      I doubt there is an initial loss from that sale, megabuy just profit less from $190.

      The issue isn't the fact they are making a profit.
      It's that this deal isn't worth of being on OzBargain

        You're right, there are obviously better deals out there presently (though none that currently have stock available afaik). But that hasn't been the tone of many of the responses on here.
