omgomgomgomg and I made this site that shows you all of the daily reductions in price, and it looks like JB HiFi have reduced quite a lot of their stock today. This includes the Seagate 3TB but just having a quick look through this list (ordered from greatest % reduction to the ones that went UP in price) I did find:

Logitech 650 Remote - $31.50 down from $46 - http://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-lcd-led-plasma/accessories/logit…
Samsung 7.1 set - $446 down from $746 - http://www.jbhifi.com.au/home-theatre/samsung/7-1ch-1330w-3d…

The list goes on, find yourself a bargain before boxing day!

    Awesome list, just a suggestion, can you sort the list in 2 places, the discounted and also increased price items sorted each alphabetically ?

      • G5 on 25/12/2012 - 17:26

        There's no easy way to do that without manual intervention or if OP scrapes categories from the pages and updates the list.

    2 for $20 Blu Rays with 20% extra off? Yes please. Landed SuperBad limited edition, The Hangover and Dawn of The Dead. Knew about the sale already but thanks to the OP for sharing with the OzBargain Community :D

  • wisdomtooth on 27/12/2012 - 08:43

    How about more colour bands on the deal highlights? I was going to ask for customisable colour banding, but that's overkill. Just mark, say, the 75th and 90th percentile absolute price drops (of the whole db, not the day).

    Or… give us a data feed, like camel^3 does, so we can do our own analyses on GSpreadies?

    Damn you OzB, spending all my coin again. Picked up a Sony XAV701-BT MirrorLink 7" A/V head unit for $432.60 (retail around $800-$900). My second fav bargain this year, naturally the $9 Dell printer wins top prize! :D

    We've just done a quick changeover, consider this an unofficial release - made it a bit easier to browse around and everything. If you guys have any bug reports (as this new page is very early and beta) let me know. The link above should just work for you, if it doesn't, do a Control+Shift+R.

    • wisdomtooth on 27/12/2012 - 10:46

      low, high, ow, hn… clap, clap, clap!

      and then… sort!

      clap, clap, clap, encore, encore!

      • Gecko on 27/12/2012 - 10:49

        It seems like the low and high information wont be that useful until a few weeks/months down the track - although I notice a few items that are not at their maximum!

        Maybe next I'll make a page dedicated to price increases. I'm going through this thread slowly adding in the little features I see, this will likely be the last update until the full release unless there are bugs :)

        • wisdomtooth on 27/12/2012 - 10:53

          Here's one:

    • wisdomtooth on 27/12/2012 - 10:52

      here's another cooky idea…

      know how you're always torn between looking at the absolute $ and the relative % price differences?

      if you multiply them both, you get a deal score that's more likely to show deals that are both good (in % discount) and relevant (in $ amount).

      and then, if you're feeling geeky, take the square root, though that won't change the order of things.

      • Gecko on 27/12/2012 - 12:14

        I may just have to try that ;)

      • Gecko on 27/12/2012 - 14:52

        Hey wisdomteeth, if you'll have another look at the page… You'll notice the "Surprise Score" that is also sortable - it turns out it was a great indicator for a good bargain.

        Also, hover over the link to sort "Surprise Score" for a little personalised touch ;)

        • wisdomtooth on 06/01/2013 - 22:16

          Hey, Gecko, just seen this. Thanks for the cred; I appreciate it.

          Ha! So you did take the square root after all! Pretty cool. I like it that when the base price is $100, or a round figure like that, the score will be equal to both $diff and %diff. Makes it look consistent. After all, it is just a geo avg of the two.

          What do you reckon? Does it work?

        • Gecko on 07/01/2013 - 13:54

          It does seem to work fairly well, I think we'll start trying to put the "lowest price" into the formula as well..

          So if it's the lowest price it's ever been, it'll show up as a great score..

          Got plenty of time on my hands after work and that sort've thing so I'm sure I can come up with something!

        • wisdomtooth on 08/01/2013 - 14:13

          Ready to take it to the next level? Ok, then if you simply multiply the score by (100% minus) the percentile of the current price against all recorded prices, it'll not only give you the best deals against yesterday's prices, but against the long run as well. Do count multiple daily records of the same price as multiple instances so that prices that suddenly drop after staying flat for a period get a higher score.

  • ryang on 27/12/2012 - 11:59

    You might want to push all links through a de-refer service, otherwise they'll start getting a heap of referal hits from your site.

    eg. http://dereferer.org/start.asp

    • Gecko on 27/12/2012 - 12:06

      We thought about it. But then we thought maybe it would help our cause more if they did get a heap of referral links - they will be able to see it as a more viable advertising platform if they can see results.

  • Gecko on 28/12/2012 - 13:29

    We've been very hard at work with very little sleep. Everyone should have another look now - especially click on the item names in the pages! :) Thinking about starting a forum post - but scared it might be considered "advertising"!

      Well done with the graph but it now takes two clicks to go to the product page. I would have preferred a separate link for the graph. I like the new look of the site too. Nice and clean.

      Since you no longer show price increases companies should be happy with your site. it's free advertising for them. Although, as a consumer, I'd like to see price increases too.

  • cashews on 28/12/2012 - 16:54

    How often is it updated at the moment? I'd like to know when to check back for new deals?

    • Gecko on 28/12/2012 - 20:09

      It's updated over the course of about midnight to 6am at the moment - but we've been running it fairly constantly throughout the day at the moment, but generally if you check it once daily you should be fine.

    Kinda of stupid that we're upvoting this deal for the effort the OP did in showing the prices.
    It comes off across as JB having a really awesome sale when it's not them who should be getting the praise here.

    • Gecko on 03/01/2013 - 13:17

      It was quite an awesome sale on the day - there were many, many unadvertised 30-60% off items on their site. It's just unfortunate (or fortunate?) that the deal page is dynamic in nature, so the day after it was listing the specials of the next day.
