Am currently eating a donut from this exact promo while replying to this comment...

Damn you must have been extremely unlucky with the salesperson you came across. The "cost of fuel" line as an excuse is a straight up lie…

From experience, it would be very easy to negotiate free delivery (i.e. them just taking the cost of delivery out of the TV price) if you…

It has definitely gone below that, as I recall people getting the 75" for ~$1.5-1.6k back when the ticket price was $1800 a few months ago.…

Highly unlikely, considering there's minimal stock left altogether and people are rushing to buy at $2.5k+ (evident from this thread…

If you don't already have the shoppers protection insurance then it's highly likely there are better options available on the market for…

Same reply to this same question that's asked every time a 28° post is made on OzB... The vast majority of people that are willingly…

Considering the 85" C8K (i.e. the model above this) could be had for $2100 (and some even got below 2k) a couple months ago, this isn't…

To those interested in this deal, it's potentially worth waiting for a better deal as I got the 85" delivered for $2100 in December. A new…

Out of curiosity how much did you end up paying for the TV after that?

It uses a 600x500 VESA pattern, which isn't that common and not every mount would be compatible without some form of adapter/extension…

Successfully delivered today in NSW. Had ordered in early december.

Finally received a text to select a delivery date, looks like others have also recently been contacted too.

Finally received a text to book a delivery date, looks like others have also recently been contacted too.

I also ordered from TGG and called a couple weeks ago for an ETA and was told by the end of the month. Although after seeing that you've…

Arguably the best TV available on the market: "it is ok"...

Totally hear where you're coming from, but again that ties in with my point that you'd only have issue if you come across a staff member…

False, that is just a myth/false claim which unfortunately even some staff have succumbed to. The use of a powerpass card has no influence…

Any further updates since then? I'm still waiting on an ETA for my order I placed a week after yours. The only minor positive is I noticed…

PSA to Fold 7 owners, these aren't case friendly for a Fold 7 slim case, due to the housing of the cable itself being higher up the port…

There's been multiple receipts/dockets posted in the other recent C8K threads if you search by item. The best was someone getting the 75"…

It's definitely possible, but unfortunately your odds vary wildly from salesperson to salesperson, which is why it's very difficult to give…

Haha yea I saw yours and did try but unfortunately no luck. Still more than happy with 2100 plus I have a price protection card anyways so…

I was able to get TGG to do $2100 via their live chat on the website. Did not have time to physically go to each of the stores to try my…

Not true, I very easily got TGG online chat to not only match but beat it as well ($2100 for 85"). Others in this thread alone also managed…

Did you end up getting it? And if so, what are your impressions so far? Ended up biting @ $2100 for the 85" today but won't be delivered…

For sure, but in general I just try to treat them like a normal person which usually works 99% of the time as live chat workers are so used…

85" listing has just been removed from the JB website. Presumably have too many on backorder now considering the ETA given today was after…
