I don't care if it's from a price error, bug, genuine sale, word of mouth…. whatever.

What service or product you got that you felt you got an amazing price for and was it worth it?

  1. My Beats Studio head phones for $201 which was the biggest steal at the time in 2015. Dicksmith ebay had it online at a sale price for $407 (Think RRP was around $450 or more at that time), then Dicksmith had a massive online ebay sale. I jumped on the sale and got it for $201. Not even 1 hour from the sale started, later my brother wanted it as well, he jumped online and Dicksmith bumped up the Beats back to RRP and excluded the Beats from the discount code. I got very lucky! I am still using those beats today and they are still going strong, no plans on replacing them.

  2. My LG 28" Ultrawide monitor with 144hz refresh rate I got second hand but pretty much brand new for $150 because the owner was going overseas the in next few days and just posted the monitor up the same day as he needed to get rid of it ASAP. I got it I think around 2017-18, I was just browsing on Gumtree for a monitor and I was the first one to message him, picked it up within 1 hour and paid cash. When I searched the RRP of the model, it was well over $700+. No dead pixels, everything looked brand new and I couldn't believe I paid $150 for it. When I made the deal, the seller said he got 10+ messages for the monitor. I am still using the monitor today and still going very strong!

What are your crazy deals?

    The craziest one i've had was from a motorcycle warehouse closing down sale. You bought a ticket to be present at the sale, then it was "take as much as you can carry". Managed to get two exhausts, jackets, helmets, etc etc. I think the directors got divorced and the sale was apart of the settlement. It was at Smeaton Grange.

    Many years ago, I registered for an Amex promo that gave you 1,000 rewards points for every purchase that you made. There was no minimum spend and no cap on the number of points that you could earn. Everyday, I would find new ways to spend small amounts on my Amex card whether it be buying 40c worth of grapes at Coles or $1.50 worth of petrol at the servo. I know of one guy who used his Amex card to put 50c into the parking meters of random strangers!

    By the end of the 3 month promotion, I managed to rack up over 1,000,000 rewards points. Back then, the transfer rates to Singapore Airlines was 1:1. I treated my wife to a first class ticket on Singapore Airlines to New York whilst I got the opportunity to try out Singapore Airlines' A380 first class suites. For several years after that, my wife and I enjoyed business class whenever we travelled. Alas, those days are behind us and I doubt that Amex will ever make that same mistake again. I often wonder whether the Amex marketing executive who came up with the promo got to keep their job.

      • ass3ts on 23/07/2023 - 10:38

        The answer is no. I'm not a car collector or a classic car enthusiast. I buy them, I take them to the track, I enjoy them until I've had enough then I move on. If they happen to sell for a lot more later on, that's a bonus, but it all requires informed decision-making.

    Sorry this is a long one - it's not a huge deal but I do get a loophole to work in favour of me instead of the big company which is a deal enough for me! So, a little bit ago I needed to compare PDFs kinda urgently before COB and needed something good that would work well, but since it was like 15 minutes to COB I didn't have time to find a good online solution, so just subscribed to Adobe Pro, since it's a feature they offer. I really didn't want to pay Adobe, but I really didn't have much of a choice with the timeframe so just decided to pay them. There was a possibility I'd need it again after the comparison, so I didn't immediately cancel, but saw I had 2 weeks to cancel for free otherwise they'd go ahead with the plan, so I made a note to cancel before then.

    Unfortunately, I missed the deadline by a day (I thought it was a Thursday but it was the Wednesday - oops!) - I went to cancel and their website said it was going to cost $120 to cancel my plan! Turns out, Adobe didn't make it clear (to me in my rush) that they don't actually do monthly plans, just yearly ones, and if you cancel after the 14 days is up, you have to pay 50% of the remaining amount (boo Adobe). I probably would have known that if I wasn't in a rush and paid attention, but then I wouldn't have this story, so yay?

    I spoke to customer care and even though it was only a day late, they wouldn't waive the $120 cancellation fee for me. But, the lady said she could give me a great deal on a different plan - instead of the Adobe Pro range, I could get a plan for some of their other products, like their photography suite or something. I told her I didn't want that since I'm not creative, but she was REALLY pushing me about how good this deal is - instead of $22/month it would be $14/month, plus we can do a special of 3 months free so I'd only pay for 9 months! You'd be crazy to turn it down! In theory it would bring the cancellation fee down since the total cost is less, but it's still a lot for missing things by a day.

    Just then I had an idea - I asked her very specifically what would happen with my old plan, and she said they would cancel it, give me a refund for the 2 weeks of the rest of the month for plan I'd already used (like $11), and then start a new plan up for me. I asked for the Ts & Cs (which I read a LOT better this time) and lo and behold, the magic words: "If you cancel within 14 days you will be given a full refund, otherwise a 50% cancellation fee applies". I confirmed that I'll be starting my new plan as of today's date, to which she said yes, gave her my card details for the refund/new plan and said goodbye.

    Then I started a new chat with a new agent, told them I had just started a new plan and I wasn't happy with it and would like a full refund. He looked into it, said "ah yup, I see you're in the 14 day grace period. We're sorry to see you go but we'll organise a full refund for you for this plan, and hope to see you again as a customer!"

        I had a good idea it was worth at least $500, but I was shocked to get $1800 for it.

        It was a specific model from the 1980s, never used and with its original box, but despite it not working the demand for it was enormous.

        I have never come across a bargain like that again.

    It didn't….. I noticed a charge of $26 on my card and I wasn't paying that a month!

    I emailed to complain. They said it was normal for it to renew and charge you for the whole year. brain ticking over, per year?!?! I withdrew my complaint and for 4 years now I save about $500 a year on this subscription. Every year I get another charge of just $26.

    If you go online and buy 5 Cases on beer with pickup and only 1-2 is available you will still get the discount off the total price for 5 cases.

    i have a few that still think of as the best deals gone down for me.

    1. i purchased a 68cm CRT (just as plasma TVs came onto the market) and enjoyed my new purchase through Kmart. 2 years and 2 months and the TV jsut dies. take it back to K mart for a warranty repair/ replacement and they gave me a full refund instead.
    2. very late night at work, put my phone on the roof of the car while shuffling through my pockets to find my keys etc and drove off, basically ran over my samsung galaxy s3 limited edition 32gb model. spoke to my service provider and told them the story, i was offered a new note II for $20 extra on top of my plan which i was ok with at the time….. fast forward to bill time and i was seeing a $20 reduction on my bill rather then an extra $20 to pay on top of my plan. this went on for 5 years (plan lasted 2 years) they honored the credit on my account until it stopped obviously but i never kicked up a stink.
    3. mobile service provider $1/ month pixel 6a deal.
    4. scored a google pixel 7 pro
    5. scored a laptop (dell 7480), did the usual upgrades and works like a charm.

        Gaming is easier too.

        If the new model turns up in Aus it has more betterer dimming zones but for $4444 I cant really complain that theres a bit of dimming zone weirdness when you deliberately look for it.

    Back when the PS4 was announced I placed a $100 deposit for a pre-order on two of them at a certain big brand retailer as soon as I possibly could. Arrived on launch day and was about to hand over $900ish for both of them and was told it was only $400 remaining to pay. For 2. I asked them are you sure? Was told it said I'd paid in full for one and a $100 deposit for the other. I told them I don't remember paying for one in full, and to check, the guy was insistent I only had to pay $400. So I did, and walked out of there much happier than I expected!

    Here's my comment
    Just picked up my order - 20 packs and 6 bottles of wine. I think they may be canceling those orders for only the quilton. I added the wine firstly because I wanted some, secondly it was nearly 50% off with the coupons and thirdly so I went over $70 and got another $5 off. The final price of the paper was $16.20 for 20 packs. After the $10 discount, that worked out at $6.20 or 3c per roll. No need to use both sides of the page now :)

    About 8 years ago I somehow managed the most ridiculous sequence of promotional one way airfares, with multi day layovers in between. Planned my entire holiday around the dates and destinations of the cheapest fares. It was something like Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok to Chiang Mai, overland to Vientiane, flight back to Bangkok then KL again, then to Manila and eventually back to Melbourne. It was about $600 combined for all of the flights. I remember the KL to Manila leg being under $20. Fantastic trip.

    Without massage cushion I would probably be in bad condition for at least like 8-20 hrs on bed resting. But massage cushion's pressure just makes it so good, and all very close to fully fixed in less than 30 mins, (and best of all it doesn't need massage gun, as its auto massaging no difficulty in reaching back with it, just lay flat on it on bed)

      Best deal I’ve read in this thread. Very envious

    Got a pair of technics 1210 m3d for $400 off Gumtree back in 2011 or 2012.

    I remember seeing the ad and thinking, it might be 400 each so i messaged. Ended up being for the pair.

    So i went to pick them up straight away that day. Turned out the seller was a woman and the turntables belonged to her ex husband who moved back to the UK.

    Too bad i had to sell them years later due to some financial struggles at the time

    Another deal was scoring an Ikea Jerker desk for about $1 off ebay. Was in great condition and i gave the guy a tenner as he helped me move it into the car. But i remember these desks were very popular at the time, someone even created a facebook page for it lol

    This was about 2009. Qantas had a sale on fares to LA for $980 return.
    BUT… you could get an onbound flight to JFK for just another $10pp – on a Qantas 747, with an Aussie crew. We hastily figured out some dates and I ran (literally) to a travel agent's and booked the fares.
    BUT… 2 weeks before the outbound flight I noticed that the booking code was not the usual E for discount economy but another code (B, I think). So I rang Qantas and asked whether the bookings were points upgradable and they were. So I used the points I had saved up for 4 years to upgrade four of us, and did not tell the Mrs of the 2 boys until we were checking in.
    Had to pay a fee for the upgrades but 4 return Business Class trips to NY for $4400.

    Was waiting for a pizza order at dominos, decided to have a browse the cash converters next door. Found a stackable PoE Cisco Catalyst switch on the shelf for $300 (Cisco Catalyst 3750G-24PS-24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports with IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE and four SFP uplinks).

    Sold it on eBay for $4000 or $6000, can't quite remember. This was like 10 years ago, maybe more.

    • whyisave on 23/07/2023 - 22:27

      four SFP uplinks

      Were the SFPs also in the switch ?

        It’s been a while but yes I think so.

        • whyisave on 24/07/2023 - 05:22

          The SFPs alone, were worth more than $300 !

    In 2019 there was an offer by JBHIFI for a $500 Gift Card if you signed up for a Tesla Sim-only plan for 24 months. Except they made this contract a no lock-in contract. I called up Telstra after leaving the store with my gift card and didn’t even have to pay for the first month.

    Easiest $450 I’ve made having sold the gift card to a mate the same day.

    They still offer the $500 gift card deal but now with a proper lock-in port-in contract.

  • Murdrum on 23/07/2023 - 19:56

    Bose Headphones from Myer for $27.

    Felt good to go in and pick them up.

    Also back in the days when Big W was clearing out a lot of their games for $3 I picked up a lot, played them once or twice and then ended up trading the back in to EB games for more than I paid.

      'Trade bait' were the coolest days.

    I bought a ham leg for Xmas last year around 2.5Kg that was priced in error at $2.10. It was $21 per kilo but was mis-weighed as 0.1kg. I was so excited when I saw it and thankfully thought to go through a cashier checkout instead of self-checkout as the latter process would have pinged me for an incorrect weight when I put it on my purchase pile. I picked the most distracted looking cashier and it went through without a hitch. Saved just over $50, or 94% of what it should have cost. Merry Xmas to me!

    Extended holiday in the US and Europe in 2011/2012. Everything felt dirt cheap with the AUD worth more than the USD.
