    Pricematching is NOT a bargain, read the following

      100% agree with you but the precedent has been set in this debacle recently:
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/89417

      "Mod: FYI: Receipts have always been able to be posted as deals. Price errors get moved to forums."

        That wasn't a pricematch, was supposed to be a 'new' drive haggled down according to the OP but may not have been new according to conflicting reports from others that visited the store and a post from the salesperson involved.

        This 'deal' was attained by invoking the pricematch policy at officeworks which is a totally different situation.

        The only similarities between the two is the posting of a receipt image.

        • bxpressiv on 09/01/2013 - 11:54

          And the way you'd attempt to get the deal is the same, by using the posted receipt. What I'm saying is the receipt is the deal.

        • foobar on 09/01/2013 - 11:57

          Anyone else care to have a go cos I give up.

          Good adult discussion, I enjoyed it.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2013 - 11:29

    Thanks foobar - the receipt was uploaded with the pricematch details but just to confirm I price matched it with this place: http://www.gimmedigi.com/catalog/western-digital-my-book-liv…

    As I said it's not a deal as much as it is a price match.

    • foobar on 09/01/2013 - 11:31

      not a deal as much as it is a price match

      and as such should not have been posted as a deal, should be in the forums at best. You've been a member since Jan 2011 and must have seen countless pricematch 'deals' either deleted, moved or altered to conform to the rule, yet here we are.

        Thanks and noted but I haven't posted a deal here before (and it seems I still haven't). I don't pay that much attention tbh. But if it's against the rules, feel free to delete.

          If you take 30 seconds to read the first sentence of the link I posted above…

        • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2013 - 11:41

          Again, thanks - I'll remember that next time.

    • cpho on 09/01/2013 - 11:53

      It's still a bargain. Not a great one but still a bargain.
      Just edit the link to the site which you pricematched off, and get rid of the pricematch part and you're good to go

      • foobar on 09/01/2013 - 12:03

        A bargain it may be, a deal it is not.

    You are just lucky to find someone to let you pricematch a store that based in Hong Kong.

      Postage was free to Australia from the website.

    I went to JB HiFi and asked for best deal, got it for $195 then sent off my WD claim for a further $50 off. Total price $145.
    Can upload receipt if anyone s interested.

  • oz-dxer on 09/01/2013 - 12:06

    Just use these vendors
    http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Western%20Digit…
    Cheapest is $224 in Au

  • Bigsta on 09/01/2013 - 13:01

    got the seagate backup plus 3tb for $100 at HVN recently, normal inflated price is $185, but normally $149 does not have ethernet port though.

    PM me anyone who wants a receipt of the HVN

  • Roary on 09/01/2013 - 13:20

    Not a bargain

    Even if we allow price matches (which i thought we didn't)
    I would take proof of this
    http://www.greenboxit.com.au/index.php?cPath=728_19709_19702

    5% off this price is a lot cheaper that the OP price.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2013 - 13:33

      The price match I used ($224) brought the price down to $213 at OW. I may be wrong but how is 5% off the price from your link a lot cheaper?

      • Roary on 09/01/2013 - 13:43

        Oh okay. I thought it was $224.45 after your price match. I cant download your receipt at work (network blocked)
        So I guess my link is only slightly cheaper.

        Normally people post something like this as a subject
        Western Digital 3TB My Book Live Home Network Drive - $224.45 delivered (OW pricematch $213)

  • kirynflare on 09/01/2013 - 22:22

    I got this for cheaper here, which was also based off an overseas stocker, which ultimately got moved to forums by mods:

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/83165

    Not sure why mods have decided to let this one go..

  • MITM on 27/01/2013 - 11:16

    Any lower than $199 at OW (on Staticice) and JB HIFI. HVN $244
    And are they any good ?
