[Price Error, NSW] 10x $1.10 Stamps ($11 Value) for $2.50 from Vending Machine @ Australia Post Business Hub, Alexandria

7010

Vending machine has been incorrectly programmed. Option 604 is giving out $11 worth of stamps for $2.50!

There are PLENTY of stamps in this machine. The foyer is open 24/7 so come on down and say hi to me in the little red car (I wanna see some real life OzB drama for entertainment in my free time)

Update the following day: https://youtu.be/Al6hT11k1dE

Tl;dr - they switched off the vending machine after re-stocking it with the correct product, lol. Possibly a nationwide memo from head office to switch these things off, lol

    Geez, 150 votes, 40 minutes and still no one's here! I was expecting an entertaining sight of a gaggle of OzBargainers turning up in investment vehicles and fighting in the foyer for control over the vend-o by now!

      Looks kinda shady. Maybe you are planning to mug everyone for their stamps :D

    • As much as this is a great deal, I ain't driving 35 kilometres to save money on stamps; sorry

    • +1

      I'd come But.. I am already in my pajamas.

      • pj party!1!

  • I guess stamps are an item that can't be re-sold …. I believe news agencies previously to stock stamps (out of convenience to customers and to promote store traffic)… but with no margin your PO is your only choice.

    Officeworks…forget it.

    • stamp collecting used to be quite popular but most of them aren't worth anything much to collectors these days. even old stamps are still usable though, so it's possible to pick them up on ebay in bulk at a discount to face value.

      • Reckon I could use my imperial stamps?

  • Guy's jump on the livestream!

  • Livestream classic! This is a first.

  • The last time I used stamps it was like 45c/standard letter if I remember correctly.
    What is it now?

    • +2

      $1.10

    • +2

      So you haven't used stamps in over 20 years?

      It's $1.10 now and slower

      • A long long time ago, and probably never will again,
        I think I still have a roll, or two, of stamps in a drawer somewhere, dont know what to do with them.

    • 55c is what I remember. But I never post locally anymore

  • +5

    Hopefully Broden turns up soon!

    Then this becomes one of the biggest ozbargain meetup.

  • +16

    This is riveting! Can you turn your phone on the side and raise the stream quality? Watching on my 65 inch Samsung that I snaffled from ozb, and the portrait mode at low res looks worse than a VHS

    • Sorry man! Couldn't work out how to do it, YT kept prompting me to hold the phone in portrait for some reason.

    Mate went to Salisbury SA but says only vending machine in CBD hub.
