    The fact these are being sold for $1/test in the wake of what they're calling "the next wave" really shows just how much they profited on these tests.

        Costs have stayed the same, or even increased since the early days. I'm a bit sceptical on the supply/demand personally, feels like they created scarcity to sell them higher (which honestly is smart from a purely economic standpoint).

        Make everyone buy your product while it's in stock and then companies get left with it. Not that it bothers them, because they already sold it at the high price.

            @scuderiarmani: Material and freight increases, mainly driven by the whole Russia Ukraine thing but other events too. It's gotten more expensive to move things from A to B because fuel etc is high cost.

            They're only just starting to decline again, and will need to drop a lot to normalise.

              @pennypincher98: Economies of scale. They would be cheaper to produce now than at the start of the pandemic

              • pennypincher98 on 15/11/2022 - 07:15

                @nicholasv: Example with smaller numbers:
                Make 100, sell 100 at $10/unit -> company onsells for $15
                Make 100, sell 100 at $12/unit -> company onsells for $17
                Make 10000, sell 10000 at $12 unit -> company tries to sell for $17 but now supply has increased and is driving price down. Has to reduce price to finalise sale. Manufacturer still enjoys full profit.

                They were always cheap to produce, all they did was test demand and act accordingly.

          Costs have stayed the same, or even increased since the early days.

          Really? They were $10 a test early on and over the past 6 months or so, about $3-$4 a test.

            Manufacturing cost + freight cost. The total amount to make one test and transport it. I didn't realise I had to so explicitly define such basic terms. Lol @ the double neg because you're embarrassed lmao.

                Well yes.

                Honestly though economics is a social science. Social sciences are built on theories. Decades of economic thought still have speculation. What did you think I was going to be able to prove the exact amount of tests, methodologies, costs, freight paths etc? Lol you're just digging yourself into a deeper hole trying to cover for your incompetence.

                  @pennypincher98: I'm happy to "dig down". Let's revisit your initial statement:

                  The fact these are being sold for $1/test in the wake of what they're calling "the next wave" really shows just how much they profited on these tests.

                  The fact that one seller is selling an unspecified amount of tests at $5 doesn't prove anything. This one is gated - requires Kogan First (though not exactly a high bar for entry). Retailers run these sort of promos all the time. Costco, eBay plus, various other sales.

                  Outside of the Ozbargain bubble, I'd speculate that there is minimal impact on price. Many Ozbargainers struggle to buy something having seen it at a much lower price even once with an unobtainable deal. You're not seeing the majors drop their prices significantly.

                  We also don't know anything about these tests - they're potentially short dated. We don't know the motivation of Kogan, maybe they want subscribers prior to another wave. We're also in a different time where the public is largely complacent.

    • trawg on 15/11/2022 - 09:03

      It wasn't too hard to buy cheaper tests even early on if you bought them in large bulk. It's not all profiteering (though that is definitely going on) - stores having to buy stuff, ship it, manage the stock, sell it, account for it, etc, all has costs.

      I just had to buy two tests on short notice (going on a trip out of state & wanted to have some) & paid $30 & was outraged - but if I'd been more organised I could have gotten the same ones for probably less than five bucks.

    • supersabroso on 15/11/2022 - 09:25

      Yeah that's true but it's more the fact that these are obsolete now, this price is probably below cost and they are taking a loss on it to get rid of excessive stock. Imagine getting a test for the MX-007-C3P0 strain of flu, you don't care what it's called because it's irrelevant, it's just the flu. Doesn't affect your behaviour to any other type of flu, COVID whatever, irrelevant. There are no more restrictions for COVID, no vaccination requirements, nothing.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2022 - 10:38

        Its not just a flu. The effects of long covid sre not understood. If i had it, id want to know, and it would change my approach to the illness.

        That and if you downhill fast, you may not stop going downhill. Unlike, generally, the flu. Good to know what your decision making process should be in thay event.

      • haemolysis on 15/11/2022 - 22:50

        You only consider it irrelevant if you’re basically an idiot. A positive test gives a green light to life saving antivirals for old people, and for young people it helps you prevent spreading it to family and friends.

        That’s not going away. It will never become “irrelevant” to know if you’re positive.

      The federal government of the time had a botched response to quarantine, vaccines, testing.

      Scomo said at the time that he'd let the private market do its thing as RAT prices spiked. Here we are almost a year on with cheap tests.

      You might see the price increase again with the new waves that are currently being talked about.

                      Dan put requirements in place in state care immediately, and that resulted in no deaths there.

                                          No no, its far more likely that youre the smartest guy in the room, and all those other people are wrong.

                                          You with your house, your vast fortune, all the fruits of being a misunderstood genius in modern…..society…..oh wait. Whats that? No house? No money? Whats wrong champ. I thought you had it all figured out?

                        Want to save this quote.

                        Cos even though I think Labor will still marginally win (mainly because of safe seats in the west and northern suburbs); polls are slowly creeping away from an easy Labor win that was predicted early to mid-year.

                            @[Deactivated]: Disregarding this aged care discussion. Do you honestly think Dan has done and is doing a good job?

                            So many corruption investigations?
                            Hotel quarantine security?
                            Lockdowns? (Schools, playgrounds, the list goes on)
                            State debt levels?
                            Talks about fixing hospitals; but he has been in power for 2 terms!
                            iCook foods?
                            Union corruption!?

                            There is so much more that could be written. I'm not saying Liberal is the way to go; but Dan definitely needs to! What's the bet, if he does lose, he won't stand down as leader of the labor party?

                            You don't need to vote Labor just because that's who you always vote for

                              investigations

                              Hotel quarantine security?

                              NSW quarantine also had its issues but praised as a gold standard. This thinking is likely bright about my NewsCorps negative press.

                              Lockdowns? (Schools, playgrounds, the list goes on)

                              Done across other states. NSW was kind of responsible for one of your lockdowns.

                              State debt levels?

                              Not too much of an idea on VIC. Typically, the LNP sells of assets at bargain prices to their donors or… China.

                              Talks about fixing hospitals; but he has been in power for 2 terms!

                              When you look at stats, IIRC, VIC isn't so bad. The issues with health require longer term fixess and likely require help at a federal level. Nurses, doctors can't just appear.

                              You don't need to vote Labor just because that's who you always vote for

                              Better than voting for some guy. Though, yes, much better voting outside the two party system.

                                @ihfree: I'm not concerned about what's happening in NSW or why comparing the two is even necessary.

                                Labor has been in charge of Victoria for a long time now; and the only thing I can honestly think they've accomplished is removing a few level crossings (at a HUGE expense)

                                • ihfree on 15/11/2022 - 12:27

                                  @Danstar: It's an interesting look at how the media handles things given that NSW has many issues including some that are similar yet are praised in the media while Dan is constantly attacked.

                                  Hell, NewsCorpse is digging up 10 year old car crashes, alluding to impossible court cases over it, and writing articles on stairs. While in NSW they are harping on about girl boss Gladys being foolish in love while she's in front of the ICAC with pretty damning evidence.

                                  At the very least, it's a good litmus test for the news you are clearly viewing or hearing about indirectly.

                                    @ihfree: So ScoMo didn't receive any bad press just before we all went to the polls?

                                    Blaming NewsCorp for Dan getting bad press is just a cop out;

                                    • ihfree on 15/11/2022 - 19:03

                                      @Danstar: Scomo did receive bad press but overall received more positive coverage. Hell, you even had the press pack following him around and having drinks with him each evening. When you look at which party has been supported through out history, it's almost always the LNP.

                                      There's a reason why the petition for a royal commission was so popular - many Australians see NewsCorp and its transparent agenda as an issue. Link: https://murdochroyalcommission.org.au/

                                      Going beyond that, the changes in Fairfax after being bought by 9 have also been for the worse. Costello chairs the organisation.

                                      Blaming NewsCorp for Dan getting bad press is just a cop out;

                                      Denying NewsCorp's agenda is also a cop out.

                                        Maybe they receive bad press, because they're actually bad at their jobs?

                                          @Danstar: It's been pretty clear that Murdoch press in particular is problematic for a long time.

                                          Many subscribers, especially to Sky/Fox, realise or are told there is a problem. Sadly for them, they're too stupid to make a final jump and realise that NewsCorp is part of the problem.

                                          Ps. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

                                          Sounds like there's a problem with the media then

                                          Maybe they receive bad press, because they're actually bad at their jobs?

                                          By the same token, girl-boss Gladys must have been doing a great job…if you only read the headlines. Maybe she appears worse if you go deeper into the paper.

                                          There are a lot of methods that are used - such as headlines, soft reporting, mixing opinion/analysis/news.
