      Broden? Probably planning on raiding their store on Boxing Day. Might be annoying for the staff who will have to process each gift card individually if that happens…

  • scrypton on 20/12/2012 - 10:06

    Just FYI, the confirmation page says "Estimated delivery: Between Thursday, Dec. 27 and Friday, Jan. 4" — so if you are planning to use the gift cards during the start of boxing day sales they might not make it on time.

    Here's the ultimate ozbargain challenge for someone….
    can you buy a gift card using another giftcard?

    1) buy 1 $100 gift card for $90

    2) use that gift card to buy another $100 giftcard for $90. ($10 stashed aside)

    3) use that new gift card to buy another $100 gift card for $90 ($20 stashed aside)

    4), 5), 6), etc, ect… until bascially you could have $100+ stashed aside + your $100 card… all for $90

    Why would they be selling these via eBay? Surely they would rather use their own distribution and avoid eBay fees

    • outlander on 20/12/2012 - 11:39

      After bullshit ebay and paypal fees, they're looking at less than $82.41, minus what it costs to hire somebody to do all this. Selling on the website would net them more than 82.94, but there'd be more work involved, and its seems ebay is getting them more business. If everything went the same way, they'd have saved 10k already, even if everybody payed with a 5% off gift card.

        It doesn't add up. This isn't a good way to distribute goods.

        Looks more like some hacker broke into the FB account and started to post.

        I'm opening a paypal dispute on my gift card ASAP because they only refund what is inside the seller's ebay account. I can close the dispute at a later date when it actually arrives.

    While its 10% off woollies for now… What happens once DSE is sold off from Woolworths limited…?

    It's definitely good if you guys can get your groceries for cheap but be aware you might not be able to use them for that purpose should DSE be sold off..

    • yanman on 20/12/2012 - 10:57

      Surely the gift-card credit is with the parent company not DSE. If DSE is sold then it would make no difference.

    WOW. eBay should give them a reward for selling out the fastest.

  • Yacht on 20/12/2012 - 10:41

    Why did they sell on ebay and not through there online store.
    The fees they would pay would mean they are only getting 80 cents in the dollar?

    • ozblogger on 20/12/2012 - 11:12

      probably cause last time, they sold on their webstore .. people used gift cars to buy them .. so if they did the same one can get 20% off these by stacking one to buy another

  • Coops1 on 20/12/2012 - 10:46

    I can't see any legitimate post here or on FB where it says these are wish cards. Is there any links. Also, on the other side of this Can Dick smith branded wish cards be used at Woolworths?

  • Eeples on 20/12/2012 - 10:59

    So I can buy 5 of these cards for $450 and buy a 4th gen 16GB wifi ipad from DSE for $499 and then claim the TRS for the $499 and get $49.99 back effectively paying $400.01 for the ipad?

    Does DSE give an Eductional discount on ipads?

    • [Deactivated] on 20/12/2012 - 11:02

      It would actually be a TRS amount of $45.36 (need to divide by 11 not 10).

      • Eeples on 20/12/2012 - 11:07

        Thanks.

        So its $404.64 and I have a $1 credit left on one of the cards.

        Deal!

    I want to buy it but my sceptical side is telling me there's a chance that it's could be fake. What is stopping someone creating a new ebay account with the name dicksmithonline and post this deal? Also the dicksmithonline ebay account only has "1" review, so it's a brand new account.

    I'm asking the same question like many here, why didn't dse sell it on their own website?

        • delfredo on 20/12/2012 - 12:06

          eBay Paypal protection is the first line of defence (including hoping for eBay to make ex-gratia payment in the event that they cannot recover from seller, as per the protection cover T&C).

          Second line of defence would be to call your credit card company to reverse the transaction (this is irrespective of whether there are funds in the seller's account). Of course this applies only to those who paid using their credit card via Paypal (instead of bank transfer via Paypal).

  • delfredo on 20/12/2012 - 11:19

    It is very smart of them to meet their December sales target this way. Whilst not a 100% of gift card sales total will find their way into revenue this month, a big part of it will regardless of whether these are redeemed in the same month.

        The eBay listing (title and description) doesn't mention that it's a wish card though. Just wondering why they didn't just say it's a wish card.

        Edit: There's lists of gift cards on the official site. There doesn't seem to be a wish card that has a Dick Smith picture in front. See wish card listing and compare with store card listing.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/12/2012 - 11:56

          Yeah. Looks dodgy as.

          If the person running the promotion knew that there were Frequently asked questions. Why didn't he/she list the information with the product description?

          Either way, it looks like the person running the ebay account doesn't know what they are doing.

        • ironworthy on 20/12/2012 - 12:07

          why is it dodgy. They are just covering themselves. It's a Dick smith gift card, as long as it works at Dick Smith stores, that's all they need to cover for. If it happens to work at other retailers, that's just a bonus
