Officeworks is selling "Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000" (RRP $149.95) for $82.

ONLY AVAILABLE IN VIC/QLD/WA

During this period, Microsoft offers 25% cash back on the RRP til the end of Jan 2009, which is $40 (takes about 60 days to get that). That means you pay $82, and after cash back, you paid $42.

Even it is ONLINE ONLY Sales, I managed to price matched with HarveyNorman to get one.

It is a great mouse as it can switch between Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz wireless. The receiver can be used as a 1Gb thumb drive as well. (The driver reports as USB hub with thumb drive + wireless mouse attached).

(Edited by scotty — change title to add cashback info)

    Tax advice on ozbargain? Awesome!

    How about we leave the tax bizzo to those that can make use of it and post the actual price of $42? Instead of the misleading 'a few bucks'. I mean anything could be said to cost a few bucks after that treatment.

  • JPOWER on 04/01/2009 - 15:28

    has anyone bought any of these?

  • 11CENTS on 04/01/2009 - 15:28

    hm… few bucks, but that means you have to be in IT company
    if u want, you might want to consider changing the title so it's not too misleading for some people

  • JPOWER on 04/01/2009 - 15:28

    i agree/

    I am here to share a good bargain to everyone. Do I get a single cent out of this or anyone is paying me to do it? Why someone mad at me about the title?

    For me, I am in a IT company which can put that as expenses. I just want to share what I found and get the best out of it.

    I guess it is hard to satisfy everyone. One type of bread feeds many kinds of people.

    As you wish, I changed the title and removed the tax part, hope that will make everyone happy.

    • 11CENTS on 04/01/2009 - 16:51

      my bad. didn't mean to spill it over to you.
      i was only suggesting to amend the title, because few bucks means for everyone.
      anyway, it's still a good bargain !
      keep up the good work

    So let me get this straight

    The mouse RRP is $149.95
    The mouse costs $82.00 at OfficeWorks

    So you pay $82.00 at OfficeWorks
    Then mail in your claim to the Microsoft current promotion http://www.microsoft.com.au/hardware/offers/
    Microsoft process your claim and deposit $40.00 in to your bank account

    So you pay $82.00 upfront
    And after 60 days you have only paid $42.00

    Hmmmmmm now if only I liked Microsoft mice ;)

    • fatice on 04/01/2009 - 15:47

      Thanks Klif-e, your description is much better than mine.

  • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2009 - 16:19

    The deal is good but when I tried to checkout it said no items in stock, and no backorder available, out of luck. :-(

    • fatice on 04/01/2009 - 16:35

      Did you try price matching with HarveyNorman? I bought mine last week by doing so in Cannington branch.

  • Ndiddy on 04/01/2009 - 16:40

    MSY are selling this mouse for $69.

    http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Microsoft+Mobil…

    So you would only pay $29 for the mouse after MS put the $40 in the bank. Surely this is a better deal than the OW one unless I'm missing something?

    • fatice on 04/01/2009 - 16:46

      You are right, it is only $69 as long as it is not in WA. As always, W.A. users has way paid the highest price for stuff.

    • 11CENTS on 04/01/2009 - 16:52

      yeah, it is better as msy always selling it with crazy price.
      lucky price match is always available.

    Double post sorry

  • AntMan76 on 04/01/2009 - 22:33

    Deal posted previously for SE Qlders, at $69 since 24 November, and from Umart, meaning you dont have to go all the way to MSY at Slacks Creek if you are not near there.

  • fatice on 04/01/2009 - 22:41

    Just wondering, if the retailer can sell a product, which has RRP $149.95 for $69 and still making profit, what is the cost for the retailer? How much does Microsoft make for the other products, excluding software.

  • wfdTamar on 04/01/2009 - 23:49

    I provide tech support and do some sales. My wholesaler sells it to me for $88.53 (plus $9-12 courier). I don't know where places like MSY get their stock. A lot of places sell Logitech items cheaper than I can get it wholesale.

    • Ndiddy on 05/01/2009 - 00:08

      I had a mate who ran a small computing business and he said the same thing to me. In the end I said why don't you just buy it retail from MSY if its going to be cheaper. He did that for a while and then gave up the business cause he found a sugar mummy who pays for everything. Some people just have all the luck ;)

  • Crownie on 05/01/2009 - 01:03

    Has anyone bought anything form MSY and received the Microsoft cashback?
    It seems like MSY are selling OEM products or Asian Microsoft products.
    Just a thought.

    • hotbabe on 05/01/2009 - 03:12

      Complete BS, MSY is selling retail Microsoft product. I have received cash back from previous Microsoft Cash Back promotion for the Desktop 3000 set I bought from MSY.

    • y12345678 on 05/01/2009 - 12:16

      I did. And cashback received without any problem. The MS products are normal retail things.

  • kcuf on 05/01/2009 - 23:31

    Just got it price matched against MSY at Officeworks. $65.55 - $40 cash back = $25.55
    Pretty good for something with a RRP of $150.

    • fatice on 05/01/2009 - 23:49

      May I know which OW did you buy yours ?
