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.

    Just didn't buy one!

  • v1nn1e on 10/09/2013 - 23:18

    with 500 positives..even if 450 people would have bought this deal 450(could be more outside ozbargain)*432=$194400 that's a good money for kogan in a day :)

    • lala1911 on 10/09/2013 - 23:22

      Probably like $20000 of that is profit, if that.

      (estimation)

    • KOBH on 10/09/2013 - 23:24

      And those 500 people told their 50 friends to order this phone and that could easily hit over millions.

      Or $180 x 450 = $81,000 loss and counting.. Hate being a pessimist but if this is a pricing error kogan will never honour it.. Its not the same as the lens mug loss.. This is way too big… Guess all the winning from the ispone case will be going towards this..

        Or if he does honour it and bitches on about how much it cost him as much as he did with the lens mugs then it has to be worth way more in advertising.

    I just saw this ad on a webpage. Do you guys think it means anything? Or does it just mean the ads are automatically linked to the websites prices without any checking beforehand?

    I am using Note 2! Is it worth for changing to this S4? @@

    • kazines on 10/09/2013 - 23:25

      A friend who switched from Note 2 to S4
      told me No obvious difference apart from a couple of things like Full HD screen and no S Pen & functions
      I wouldn't bother unless you want to join the wave of pricing error.

      I ordered one too lol

    • ThePistonHead on 10/09/2013 - 23:25

      No.

    • ryantm224 on 10/09/2013 - 23:43

      haha! just buy one then resell it!

    Here is why this might be a price error:
    Got an email today from kogan saying price = $589 (save $180 on $769 RRP)
    This price = $409 (save $180 x 2 =$360 on $769 RRP)
    Possible human error??
    PS: The email also said deal ends midnight.

      It's obviously a pricing error.

      Save your time peeps…

    • KOBH on 10/09/2013 - 23:28

      Let's see what price tag after midnight.

      • montorola on 10/09/2013 - 23:32

        Lol this feels like those COTD deals, where there's a new "deal" released every hour

          It's good for the consumers.

    Thanks again ozbargain - hope they honor it

    • vinc on 10/09/2013 - 23:38

      The T&C has specified that they wont honor any price error.
      Fingers crossed again.

    On Kogan's website, almost every 20 seconds someone brought a new S4 i9505 black. A small popup windows on the left hand side tells which state the customer is from.

    I saw this deal on a last.fm ad first of all! Gawked at the price but thought it must be legitimate if it's being advertised externally. Might not be the case though…

    after midnight but the price is still $409 :|

  • blackfalcon53 on 11/09/2013 - 00:13

    I feel like this is probably a pricing error.

    I got an email today from Kogan saying "Samsung Galaxy S4 4G only $589 | Save $180!"

    And $589 - 180 = $409, so it seems to me they have accidentally taken the 'savings' from the sale price.

    Wonder if they will honour it.

    • butter on 11/09/2013 - 00:14
      +2

      Probably not. Seem mighty convenient that theyve that theyve made a few mill out of this and now its going to take weeks to get our money back.

      Oh well, the life of an ozbargainer.

    If Kogan honours the price, great!
    If they don't, saving $431.99
    I highly doubt that it will be honoured though =(

    This one remind me about Harvey Norman Asus tablet on December last year

    But may be Kogan will not be like HN

  • Ronnnie on 11/09/2013 - 00:21

    I can't see them honouring the deal if they are losing $50+/phone.

    • Grok on 11/09/2013 - 00:27

      IF it is a mistake then they are losing much more than $50 a phone.

      • Ronnnie on 11/09/2013 - 00:32

        I'm just taking by what the unique mobile rep wrote on wp, it's around $50 per unit below cost.

  • abacus on 11/09/2013 - 00:24

    When I googled s4 price and the ad for kogan came up near the top, it said "world's best price….." It's gone now 15 minutes later. Maybe they hacked?

  • Jkho on 11/09/2013 - 00:25

    still going crazy… ppl still buying!
    RE: the pop ups from the Kogan site

  • Shwayne on 11/09/2013 - 00:25

    This can't be real, they can't possibly still have stock.

  • gsrt22 on 11/09/2013 - 00:40

    I think they turned off their online payment system somehow 30 minutes ago. Cause the price was still 400 but non of my 3 credit cards went through. and now its back to normal price.

  • amsaini15 on 11/09/2013 - 00:41

        There are some real douchebags on OzB dude. I think theyre pissed off that you got 2 and they didnt get any, or they think you're being greedy by buying 2 instead of 1. Dont worry about them.

        • highdealer on 11/09/2013 - 15:05

          or may be it was limited to 1 per customer.

  • Jkho on 11/09/2013 - 01:04

    This deal was meant to go up until midnight.
    Coincidence that the price went back to $589 at about 12:30am?

    I'm still going with Samsung strategy to force iPhone5S prices down. (every1 knows the initial launch prices are marked up heavily to recover R&D costs)

    From a consumer POV, would you pay $800+ for the upcoming 5S after seeing the competitor's model (S4) at this price point?

    • gsrt22 on 11/09/2013 - 01:17

      It did go down on 12:00am. I had the item at my basket for 400$ at 12:03 but tried 3 times with different credit cards and didnt work. 20 minutes later they changed the price.

    • dmac80 on 11/09/2013 - 01:21
      +2

      That makes zero sense. Why would Samsung partner with a grey import seller like Kogan for a 6 hour price reduction? They've got their own stores if they wanted to pull a stunt like that and as if it would have any effect on 5S prices.

      It's obviously a pricing error it's just a matter of waiting to see if Kogan will honour it which hopefully they will.
