Samsung Galaxy S5 (Returned Stock) $349 @ Costco Ringwood VIC (Membership Required)

500

I went for a tyre change at Costco Ringwood and spot Samsung Galaxy S5 for $349 while I browse the store.
Very cheap and the lady said they have a lot in store.

I am not sure if it is the same price or not in other Costco, maybe other members can check it out.

          @lonix: Luckily she already passed my rigirous testing before I marry her. We only buy the thing we need and within our mean. :)

      I reckon your missus is quite smart.
      The item could be cheap but there might be issue with it.

      Maybe because it's a very old stock or the GSM frequency isn't compatible with Australian one , yadayadayada…..
      OZB helpful vote / comment from the community (with the + votes) won't mislead you to these "dodgy item".

      Should surprise your missus for christmas gift so you can get tiger whipped

    Just called the store (03 8873 6700). Every one of those handsets are returns. So used, not new!

    • +2

      So not really a deal..

    • +2

      Thanks lucky I spot this before I go..
      Not a deal then.

    • This should be added to title.

  • +2

    Lifetime warranty though with Costco

    • +2

      As long as you are Costco member…

  • +1

    Still a deal I think depending on the condition of the handset.

    • The cheapest new ones I saw are 450, not including shipping.

      …so ye I agree

  • FYI, I have the S5 and it has a bad grainy camera. Sites online will tell you to change the settings, but it doesn't work. spend the extra money for the s6 with an amazing camera.

    • +3

      You may have a defective one…

      I know the s5 to have an excellent camera. Back in those days, it was winning blind tests (phonearena) very easily, constantly beating the competition.

    • Grainy pictures are generally from poor lighting. ALL smart phones have this problem due to the small size of the sensor.

    • took me 3 goes to get a s5 with a good camera, worst one of those couldn't focus

    Went to the store anyway and all gone. Only galaxy note 4s left for $699. (Not a good deal i say)

    The staff told me they are all returned stock (change of mind customers).
    Tje product will be covered under Costco guarantee and you can return it if you change mind.

    Mod, how do i mark that this deal is gone?

    So, buy a phone from Costco, return it and get a refund, wait and then buy it when it's discounted as returned stock?

    • +1

      The staff said it is common for people to "try out" phones and then return it, as long as it is within weeks they will accept no questions asked.

      You can try that method but you will have to camp at the store as you don't know when the manager decide to sell the returned stock and at what discount.

      And what guarantee do you have that you will get the same phone back? I wouldn't want someone elses phone. A lot of people use their phone while on the toilet…

        Just wipe with an anti bacterial wipe and you are all set.

        Mark the box with a special symbol… ;)

  • All this toilet talk is unsavory. I'm never going to lick out my phone again. I do like to keep a clean keypad.

    • found the cat

  • These deals always make me wonder why people took back their goods and why the shop accepted the returns. I can only imagine there's something broken with them.

  • It's Costco, an American company who have an American returns policy. It still blows my mind! People can USE things like foundations and eyeshadow and return it half empty for a full refund in the States. There's no way we could do that here.
