Thanks Panda
Isn't the reason for posting the mobile page, and price-matching, obvious?
They don't actually have any stock.
JB is meant to check for stock levels anyway. Also shouldn't the mobile site tell you if it's OOS or not?
Didn't say they were out of stock, and JB didn't check.
Also shouldn't the mobile site tell you if it's OOS or not?
Thats a good idea. You should suggest it to OW :)
Nope, was coz I found the deal when I was in JB! Not here to try and deceive anyone.
Also shouldn't the mobile site tell you if it's OOS or not?
it should eventually - this isn't the 1st time there's been a discrepancy…
All gone
Yeap.. all gone :(
Can you post your receipt from JB HiFi for $19?
Use the mobile link.. It doesn't say it's out of stock, so should be able to use it to price match. ;)
mobile link doesn't seem to offer pickup so +$5.95 for delivery :(
I've uploaded a pic in place of the link.
Put the mobile link in the description then…
Done.
as price-matching is not a deal and officeworks is out-of-stock i've marked this as oos
Ok. Sorry folks. Good luck to those who try a price match.
Thanks for posting receipt but it doesn't show the date which they will argue about. Could you please post the full receipt pic?
cheers
Done!
Champ!
Can i put Pdf's on this?
you won't want to use pdfs on ereaders, trust me
Thanks!
Yes.
elizabeth st melbourne no stock, tried jb hifi elizabeth st to match but no deal.
Damn it I wanted to get another e-reader for my girlfriend
Just took a printout of the mobile site page and the ereader in my shopping cart to my local JB and they matched the price. Bargain! Thanks for posting Nevski.
As physically in the store or you did that online?
Physically in store. Brought up the mobile OW site on my laptop, printed page, and gave to the sales assistant. Quick and easy, though they did make a comment about how ridiculously low the price was.
Jb hi Westfield CBD(Sydney) refused saying 'under their cost price'
JB matched the $19. Didn't check stock either.
Did you just print out the receipt picture or just walk up to them and say OW is selling this for $19
Can you please post the receipt and where in Melbourne you got it from ?
I showed them the link, that Nevski put at the top of the page, on my phone. They saw the $19, asked a colleague, shrugged and my 2 friends and I walked out each with one. In Geelong, not Melbourne.
P.S. the white plastic is kind of too bright to read comfortably so go the black one.
I just bought one at OW online. Is it back on stock? Seems to let you put it in on the mobile link….
edit nevermind doesn't work
Sorry - we were unable to continue, please check the following messages
Invalid details received from PayPal.
Still seems to be in stock
but it will fail when you checkout
NOOOOOOOOOOOO……
Tried it in Townsville JB, the best they would do was $26. Not bad?
Just got one from JB at ENEX 100 Perth, thanks mate..
JB at The Galleries (Sydney) been told not price match OW because out of stock
Thank you Nevski for the post. I got the kobo!
Great!
Just walked out of JB with four of them! Price matched. Fantastic deal. Thanks. Very happy :)
which jb? Moore Park did not agree to match it because it is online only deal
JB Brighton
Thanks heaps OP! Just bought 2 from JB North Sydney using ING card = $18.05ea. :) Only 2 left in black. They aren't on the main demo display, so you'll need to check the actual rack where they have the stock.
Ironically the mini covers for the back are around $21.
Also as a quick comparison to Kindle book prices, most of the titles I quickly compared were around 50c-$1.00 more expensive on the Kobo store than Kindle store.
I'm not a true OzBargainer 'til I get an ING card!
Thanks eddomak, just picked up the last one from North Sydney… no questions asked.
You're welcome. For anyone else interested - they seemed to have restocked. Last hour they had around 3-4 black ones again.
Tried JB Macquarie and they wouldn't match. Wouldn't even provide a reason why not.
I went to JB Hifi at Carindale (QLD) at lunch time. There was a hot girl looking at the Kobos who asked, 'are you getting the ozbargain deal to?' She had the officeworks website printed and already loaded on her phone and a receipt from her brother who bought one yesterday. I thought I would be paying $49. Since this girl was going to haggle for $19, I decided I'd stand next to her and say 'I'll take one too.'
JB Hifi staff said their cost price was $49, so they weren't sure if they could price match. They looked it up on the officeworks website, then looked it up again using their phones. Finally they said they could do $25, which she accepted. We high fived on the way to the register.
So thanks hot girl at Carindale. You saved me $24.
You're welcome, bearded dude. :P Thank God they couldn't get through to Officeworks, I thought we were goners there for a second.
P.S. Receipt printout was actually OP's. Would have sounded too fishy to say "I got this receipt from Ozbargain".
Thanks OP and Martinj. I asked if they could price match and mentioned someone else got one for $25 and he did for $25 no problem.
Woohoo nice one martinj and "hot girl"! I went back and got two more today at $19. No questions asked.
thanks OP.
Could anyone post any latest receipts, please? And could anyone confirm if Brisbane CBD honours the price match or not? thanks. (tried Garden City JB, wouldn't price match.)
Try Carindale. It's confirmed working a few comments up.
Tried Macquarie yesterday and didn't work, tried a different store today and they approved it. Very happy with my new $19 purchase. Thanks for letting us know about this OP!
Where did you go? Ive tried Leichhardt & Broadway no luck. Please post your receipt. Thanks
Tried Success/Gateways JB in Perth this morn, sales guy said should be ok but went to check with manager who denied it.
Mobile site doesn't show the item anymore, I had a screenshot taken about 11:30 last night to show.
They're actually a lot smaller than I expected so not totally bummed, was going to hack it into some kind of display but a bigger screen might be better anyway.
Giving OW a dose of their own medicine. That's pretty creative.
