    Cheapest @ Saticice is A$437.00

    what is the shipping fee..

    NO DEAL.. unless 50% OFF the current price

      Cheapest on StaticIce is $437 plus delivery to Post Code 2141/NSW is 16.99
      Our price, $399 plus delivery to Post Code 2141/NSW is 10.35

      Cheapest on StaticIce is $437 plus delivery to Post Code 6000/WA is 22.38
      Our price, $399 plus delivery to Post Code 6000/WA is 20.65

      You do the maths.

      It's just cheaper, same product. That's the point of OzBargain?

    Any rep that says their product is below cost should provide a screen grab of their purchase invoice. It's BS. How stupid do you think we are?

      You asked for it… here it is,

      Example: EB1501P-W035E, our buy price is $466 + %10 GST = $512.6 , selling price $479

      If you still think there is something wrong here, just don't buy, your loss.

        Ah, and since you can claim back the 10% GST paid ($46.60) you are still ahead. http://www.ato.gov.au/businesses/content.aspx?doc=/content/2…

        That explains why you can sell 'BELOW COST' (kind of), while still making money.

        • maxlawman on 17/10/2011 - 20:45

          Yeah, but then they need to remit 1/11th of the $479 sale price (~$43) to the ATO, leaving only ~$435 …

        • Store Rep1800computers @ 1800 Computers on 17/10/2011 - 21:13

          Lol… I wish, no buddy, we are registered for GST as a company, so we collect GST for the government.

        • rygle on 18/10/2011 - 17:47

          If it was something they were buying for use in their business they could claim back gst to some extent (I think), but not for stuff they sell.

      • RandomNinja on 17/10/2011 - 21:06

        Note that flashi007 asked for a purchase invoice, not a partial screenshot of a distributor's list price. There are likely to be off invoice discounts, rebates and/or bonuses to factor in, so stating that it is below cost is impossible to prove without revealing your terms of trade!

        Having said that, if this is still the cheapest price available now, then it's still a bargain for those looking for one. If you removed the whole 'below cost' schtick it'd probably go down a lot better.

    What difference does it make????

    Who cares…..Look at the bottom line…… is the price (including shipping) the best there is?…..

          Will the price change?

      • nerobass on 18/10/2011 - 06:28

        You probably would have been given a warmer reception if you didn't say below cost. Some people will never be happy with a bargain…. good prices however not a need atm.

    What a strange persistence to sell below cost at a loss for someone who says that they have "good business looking long term".
    The more you sell below cost the bigger loss you get. And if you lose a lot then you go out of business. Doesn't make sense to me.
    So please don't tell us about "below cost" BS.

      before you crucify the rep it's not that strange, coming from a sales background i can tell you normal retail shops do it too, it's called a loss leader and basically it's to get new customers through the doors(or site) at the cost of profit, at least here he's telling you it's only for 30 units

    Below cost! Maybe its something they purchased that they are having trouble selling so want to flog it of cheap to clear stock. I doubt any retailer would be selling at a loss.

    1800computers could honestly be selling at below cost to get their name out there, as selling 30 laptops below cost would be a lot cheaper then paying for advertising, and honestly ozbargain is the best type of advertising.

    • nerobass on 18/10/2011 - 06:31

      Bearing in mind you may find a product at their store you would have purchased at another because its cheaper but with combined postage works out better from reps store therefore offsetting the loss to some degree? Correct?

  • [Deactivated] on 17/10/2011 - 20:34

    Why wouldnt you just buy a $400 netbook (with an ION processor for graphics) and hook it up to a monitor? any assistance would be appreciated.

    I've never understood the need for the EEEBox market.

    • applewei on 17/10/2011 - 20:46

      could be a good HTPC alternative i guess

    • Store Rep1800computers @ 1800 Computers on 17/10/2011 - 21:21

      Eeeboxes are desktop equivalents of Netbooks.

      These are energy efficient machines.

      Cheaper to repair then netbooks.

      Eeeboxes are ideal for internet cafes, schools, hospitals, advertising screens, HTPC alternative as below post recommends.

      Also thieves prefer netbooks/laptops to eeeboxes :)

      If you want a PC but without the size, noise, too many cables and wires, then this is it.

    I'm not in the market for one myself but I'd like to show my appreciation for this deal OP. It's below competitors prices on StaticIce which in my mind validates it for OzBargain.

    As for people demanding invoices and such, which other competitors give you this on request? Be realistic. 30 Units, it's not that unbelievable he might be selling below cost nor is this practice uncommon in the retail world. Someone mentioned loss leader above which is exactly what this is in my limited understanding of the sales world.

    Dear OzBargain,

    I'm learning alot from you guys, and I appreciate every feedback in this post.

    Some products is for everyone, and some are for few, and this is for the few. I don't expect all to appreciate the deal and all the comments, both negative & positive are helping create a better deal in the future, and I hope the next deal will blow everyone's minds. Keep up the feedback.

    I'm really loving it.

      Credit to you for hanging around and responding to all the comments. I will admit that if people fill their posts wirh comments such as "BELOW COST", "HURRY UP" or "BE QUICK" then it annoys the ozbargainers (regardless of whether or not it is a loss leader). Just post your deal, if it's the cheapest around then you will be a star. Just make sure you check on staticice first. Gimmicky lines such as 'below cost' belong in the trash
