Hi fellow ozbargainers..

Hopefully this beats the old coles deal "2 Chooks for $10"

Found this deal on line think it would have to be the cheapest 8-Way Surge Board around at $0.01!!!

P.S. If your going to just get one pay by cash!!! :)

  • Lol, nice find

  • edit: so can we actually get this for 1c without buying norton?

    • +1

      yes i did.

      • have you got the product yet? or is there a chance you will get a call/email (like the others) saying you now have to purchase Norton?

  • says this is a bonus with norton 360 5user

    • +8

      ordered one yesterday… received a call from a dicksmith staff : offer only available if u buy the norton 360 5 user.

  • lol great. I dont know what I just bought

    Bonus M 78101 With XS1410 ?

    • M78101 is the surge board
      XS1410 is norton software

  • +10

    This is a promotion that requires purchasing Norton 360 5 user license for $99
    http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XS1410/norton-360-multi-devi…

    Good deal for the surge protector IF you are buying Norton 360 5 user pack. Otherwise, on it own (as posted by the OP) this is NOT a deal.

    • return Norton means return the powerboard

      Btw, there's the $40 cashback from Norton. Details here: http://au.norton.com/now/en/AU_SITE/pu/images/Promotions/201…

      Personally I wouldn't recommend Norton. If you want the powerboard, why not just buy it for $20 click and collect?

  • -2

    It's telling me my postcode isn't valid.

  • +1

    Would you be able to buy the Norton and pay 1c and get the bonus offer and return the Nortons? Or can they force you to return all the products you bought

  • I was able to buy these on there own…

    • +4

      At which store?
      Can you give us a copy of the receipt so we can show other stores?

      • +1

        Traralgon and morwell got the deal at both stores! Can upload receipts if people don't believe me :(

        • +2

          Upload away, then there can be no doubt

        • +7

          Done :)

        • linked to the same one twice

        • +2

          My bad..
          second one up now…

        • +2

          what did Kate and Sarah say when you were buying these powerboards for 1c??

        • +2

          They said it was crazy and it was part of an old bundle.
          The other DSE employee put some aside for himself

        • I suppose you have to do click and collect? I can't just go to a random Dick Smith and ask for this?

  • +1

    could you buy one norton 360 at $99 and order 5 surge protectors for 5 cents? lol

  • +1

    they wouldnt just be giving out free power boards by themselves

    • -1

      i dont know, some people are pretty dumb

  • +15

    If I was ever running Norton 360, I'd want a power surge to take out my computer.

  • +2

    I just placed an order of 3. May as well give it a
    Try

  • +5

    Sarah is getting into trouble, but not as much as Kate is!

    • +2

      Im going to Traralgon and asking to be served by Kate.
      She seems to know whats going on.

  • +1

    I put an order. But just a minute ago, I got a call for a shop in QLD said it's not available for individual buying. You have to buy ….. If you have any problems or need more information. Please give us a call..

    End of the story.

  • A pack code like this is not intended to be used without the main product (Norton).

  • +8

    Posting the receipts does not legitimise the deal. It clearly says Bonus Surge Interceptor 8-Way Surge Board with NORTON 360 Multi Device 5 User, It also mentions the powerboard can be purchased seperately for $29.

    This is relying on incompetent staff to make the same mistake that 2 previous incompetent staff made.

    • +3

      Thankfully there is a lot of incompetent staff these days.

      • This is relying on incompetent staff

        if DS pay there staff peanuts they are going to get monkeys as the saying goes. i have no sympathy towards DS for anyone who managed to get this deal. i rolled the dice and tried my luck at the elizabeth (SA) store with no luck.

        im certainly not going to downvote this deal (or the OP) caus he was lucky and let other people know that maybe they could also be.

        • I do have sympathy for the store staff if they get in the shit…

        • +2

          Maybe they should have a proactive attitude, alert the store manager that this is happening. Then they won't be in the shit.

        • +1

          nah, coz then they cant put aside a bunch for themselves

  • Oh well hope some other members got this..
    looks like i am not going to beat the old 2 chooks for $10

    Deals like this only encourage people to take advantage of price errors, good luck to anyone that gets one, but since this deal is beyond obvious it's not a deal on its own, I don't think it should be posted here as a deal

    • +7

      We're among professionals here

      You're just asking to get flamed with those kind of words!

      • -5

        Please state your case and not your attitude.

    • +6

      Any one know whom to pester on this matter?

      write a series of very angry letters (not emails) to DS head office, each letter outlining how you intend to never shop there again and how your going to talk to your team of lawyers about suing them back into the stone age because they refused to sell you $20 power boards for $0.01…….

        Wow, you know I have kids of my own.

        • +5

          Wow, you know I have kids of my own.

          oh yes great thinking, why didnt i think of that.
          get your kids to also write DS head office some angry letters. im sure they couldnt sound any more childish…… :)

        • -1

          Good one Dan

    • +3

      Click and collect orders are not a contract to purchase until the store confirms the order, so you've got nothing as the store did not confirm. This is taking advantage of a genuine error, if you have kids I'm glad you're teaching them some great morals

    i think this thread needs a lil mention of one particularly famous person at this point. Darth vader (the character your user name is based on:) is somewhat related to him thematically in many ways. Hitler. And we are done. By the way Darth, this thread has closed as the deal is now dead, just like Hitler and Darth
    Vader (of the Star Wars series by the way Darth I was not referring to your death in any way). Cheers Bro

          Damn, I wanted to edit and link to this meme.

        • Sorry :(

  • Kate and Sarah used to work at Harvey Norman. After this they will next be selling business class tickets in Eastern China Air.

    • Kate and Sarah used to work at Harvey Norman

      pretty sure i saw both of them working at hungry jacks back in the free whopper days but it was to much of a challenge for them.

      i just heard they are now in the process of applying at mcdonalds…… :D

  • Nice scam OP - not surprised it couldn't be replicated. You've done well, 6 powerboards for 6 cents.

    The powerboards aint bad either…

    • +2

      If only this was a HN deal. Would of been awesome to see Gerry crying foul on ACA about online professional scammers trying to shut him down by stealing all his Monster power boards that retail at $700 a piece.

  • I just got 1 today…i guess is just lucky since i can see the guy who serve me called the store manager in the first..and finally just give it to me withing giving me any receipt(Dont know how can i claim for warranty if needed later since it come with lifetime warranty).
