    Congrats on your reading skills - the torch includes battery and charger, is a well known brand (not brandless generic) and has better warranty.

    But congrats on finding 30c cheaper on the camera - but 1) merimobiles will match and likely discount the 7% off for you and 2) merimobiles is a well known and reliable company with reliable warranty not some random seller on ali-express. Still - 30c is an impressive reason to give a neg

      If you throw a whole bunch of things into a deal then you can get a neg for 100% of the couple of things I checked being cheaper elsewhere.

      Seriously, man. Don't take it personally. But hey, I'll do the first tablet:

      Here's one $2.21 (<1%) more expensive

      Ya got me though, couldn't find it cheaper. Could find it within 1% of the price. But not cheaper.

      I'll remove the neg, 'cause it seems to matter to you.

        I apologise for my attack on you last night.

        We learnt yesterday that we are being evicted as our landlord wants to renovate (the place desperately needs it) and since the place is asbestos they cant do it with us here. I was also In a hell of a lot of pain as I have been developing osteo-arthritis since my mid teens and spent a lot of time standing yesterday filling in forms and house hunting.

        The prices didnt bother me - that is what we are supposed to do here - HELP EACH OTHER to find the best deal, but it is pretty natural that a neg would - esp since you didnt provide a better discount than 7% at merimobile which would seem to be the only way you could defend negging on price - you threw a neg on beating one of the (ancillary) items by 1% (and then beating another with something utterly and entirely different).

        Try to remember that people actually put effort into putting these things up for you, and esp in the case of %off storewide where they have tried to find you examples of what that would mean. If I had've been lazy and not bothered, you would have had nothing to neg, but it ewouldnt have been as much help to people in knowing the sort of things they have.

        Either way, I am sorry for my reation, an eye for an eye just leaves the whole world blind.

        I'm sorry to hear about your landlord situation.

        I'm also sorry to hear that finding cheaper prices on two items (the other one is in one of the deleted comments) and showing on the third item that the price difference is negligible makes you feel like I'm taking your eye and an eye-quivalent would be you telling me I'm a bad person.

        Try re-reading, please. I would hate to think you would be deliberately trolling.
        Negging somethign is not supposed to be somethign lightly done

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

        "In essence the negative vote is a warning. A warning about being a scam, spam, defective product or a better deal exists already. It is not for saying that the price doesn't match some preconceived idea of what a bargain is in terms of percentage off. Postage costs can be negatively voted against, if it takes the total deal over the price of a product that can be obtained from another supplier."

        " Negative votes do have an impact - new members tend to shy away fearing that their deals may not be good enough. Let the lack of positive votes tell them what appeals without, jumping on them. Also your opinion on what makes a good deal may not fit with the others here, a little encouragement goes a long way to building the information network this site is all about.

        IF a poster gets more than two negative votes the system, locks them out of posting again for 5 days. Is your negative a repeat of someone else's negative and would a REPORT be more appropriate - that is it gets the mods to remove the post. "

        "Please use negative votes sparingly and always REPORT listing violations to moderators by using the REPORT function, this alerts mods to inappropriate behaviour much faster than your negative vote. And if you feel so inclined still vote negative AND use the REPORT function if its appropriate. "

        Appropriate behavior would have been to simple note that the ONE particular example could be found elsewhere, unless you had actually checked all of them, espescially the main (initial) ones - which as you say you could not beat.

        Once again a neg says to the entire OzB community that the ENTIRE deal is "scam, spam, defective product or a better deal exists already." and that simple wasnt true. As you noted you got close a couple of times, you even beat the torch deal, but it wasnt with comparable warranty from a reliable supplier who stands up for their product and even pays return shipping on wty returns and that is a bit part of a deal.

        Unless you are seriously saying storwide deal from a Mobile and Tablet PC store is worthless because you could beat their price on a torch, then your actions have been petty in the extreme, against the community guidlines, and of no help to anybody in a forum where we are supposed to help each other. You quite possibly cost quite a few people a bargain as the a neg is (and is supposed to be) a BIG RED FLAG not to buy here.

        I hope you will consider your actions in future, although I am pretty sure you wont see anythign wrong in what you have done while trampling all over the spirit of the OzB rules.

        Have a wonderful life

        Better deals existed on the two products I checked. You keep ignoring one of them because the post has been deleted by a mod.

        The next one I checked was barely better than the competition. At which point, I should note, I removed the neg.

        Your deal is a dud. You took that personally. I'm sorry your emotional state is tied up in this.

        You coulnt beat anything other than a torch by more than 30c, even scraping the bottom of the barrel for suppliers. You just cant let go tho - cheapest prices from a reliable supplier - must be a dud. Nevermind that they will pricematch too.

        some repetition for you - hopefully may get through :)
        You admit you didnt beat them on any of the mainline items, you keep going on about the hidden item, the torch, which i adressed at length, you can easily see that they have PROPER warranty unlike the people you linked to, and a quick google will show they are reliable, have in general great customer service and speak perfect english unlike the suppliers you link.

        Warranty and customer service are a big part of a deal, the fact that they beat all comers on their mainline items prices while offering far better warranty and service makes it an even better deal.

        They ARE cheaper for a start, so no reason to neg, and on top of being cheaper you get a proper warranty - I dont know if you aver noticed but people pay for warranty - It is a BIG part of value, and a 14 day warranty is woth a lot less than a 6m one (like on the now hidden torch you keep going on about). Most people would also be VERY happy to pay 30c for a well known supplier who pays return shipping over some guy on AliExpress.

        I am sure you will need the last word so feel free
