Little trick to get the Nexus 7 32GB cheaper ;)

Just wanted to share this one…

I was looking for 2 Nexus 7 32GB to put in the car for the kids…

I found this offer: http://www.techrific.com.au/asus-google-nexus-7-android-tabl…
This site advertises the Nexus 7 32GB for $235… truth is that it's sort of a scam, when you scroll down it says "Shipping Included"… yes it's included, but not in the price… when you put it in the cart, they bump up the price to $312.95 where they add $77.95 for shipping…

So first thing… this site should end up in everyone's blacklist!

But then I thought, I could use their dodgy wording to price match at Office Work and get an additional %5 as OW price match online offers as long is it includes shipping cost…

That's what I did and got the Nexus 7 32GB for $220 something… which I think is quite a good price

    1. There's certainly an ethical issue here trying to ask Officeworks to match against an online price excluding the shipping cost, especially taking advantage of Techrific's dodgy website + inexperienced OW staff…

    2. And Nexus 7 32GB did sell for $206 at TGG 3 weeks ago so sorry to tell you that you did not get the best deal :P

    Sure you're right… but I missed that deal… that's how it is… however, if TGG could make it a this price without being under cost, I get OW still made a profit out of this…

    so basically you get an okay deal by lying and cheating?
    poor form

    This has been sprayed all over WP, not really news if you check it: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2082648

    And from that, it sounds largely based on luck.

    thanks for the info the same thing happened to me with the same company. It's now sprayed on FB too :) I love ripoffs

    meh I say its both bad and good~ sometimes I get really annoying sales people or get told misleading information and then I would take up an offer like this, otherwise probably not :D
