Moved to Forum: Original Link. It has been confirmed by Kogan that it is a price error. See email confirmation. Some stats before this post got moved to forum:

  • +593 / -22 votes with 45 voted revoked
  • 18,199 clicks

Looks like Kogan just had another price drop on this, at this price it won't last!
Be quick guys!

Credit goes to OzBargain user: tongyun for telling us about it :)

Update: Kogan has tweeted that this was not a price error, however this has since been quickly removed and it is unknown if orders will be honoured.

      all paypal would do would be refund you which is what Kogan will do anyway

  • stargalaxy on 11/09/2013 - 15:23

    Mixed feeling here, at one point, I have $431 extra to contribute partially to buying a new Iphone 5(C) - just joking, will never buy an overpriced apple iphone IMO, at the other, now the order has been cancelled, I really wants it. :)

    for those of us who paid with paypal with our CC..

    how do we get the funds back on that CC? =\ what a PITA!

    • Agret on 11/09/2013 - 18:52

      Have to withdraw it to your PayPal linked bank account and then transfer it to your card. Sigh.

    • Vladdo on 11/09/2013 - 19:37

      Its always just refunded straight back onto my card… I'd be pissed off if it went back into paypal..

    No good, Kogan, no good!

    $20 gift card can not even cover the cost of time wasted.

  • tryonthis on 11/09/2013 - 15:26

    If anyone won't be using their $20 voucher, I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

    Just received email from Kogan, order refunded due to pricing error.
    Feel like killing them…
    How stupid is their IT department which doesnt realise the flood of orders due to pricing error until the next day.
    Seems like it was just a huge publicity stunt.
    Very dissappointed with Kogan!!!

        what can we order at no cost?

        • nb freight is around $20 lol
          dont feel like giving kogan any of my money (even if it was an honest error - shouldnt have rectified 8 hrs later)

    All of you people got sucked into another corporate publicity stunt!

    1. Kogan sets a price error on website
    2. Kogan waits for someone to notice and post on ozbargain
    3. Ozbargain community spends millions on the product despite the fact that it was an obvious error
    4. Kogan sends out apologies with bait and switch coupon
    5. Ozbargain community rages and vowels to initiate legal proceedings and ACCC complaints
    6. Ozbargain community eventually gives up as they have no real success of winning the case against kogan as kogan argues it was genuine mistake
    7. Kogan profits $ from advertising and the millions paid to them as they will take a week+ to return the money.
    8. Kogan wins!

    After being on this community for several years this is pretty much what happens every time when there is a price error listed on ozbargain.

    Why even bother? The outcome was obvious :P
