    $19 at Officeworks which I got price matched by JB HiFi

    Giving OW a dose of their own medicine. That's pretty creative.

      • Nevski123 on 15/01/2014 - 13:04

        Thanks Panda

      • bargaino on 15/01/2014 - 13:08

        Isn't the reason for posting the mobile page, and price-matching, obvious?
        They don't actually have any stock.

        • lostn on 15/01/2014 - 13:14

          JB is meant to check for stock levels anyway. Also shouldn't the mobile site tell you if it's OOS or not?

        • Nevski123 on 15/01/2014 - 13:17

          Didn't say they were out of stock, and JB didn't check.

          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.

          it should eventually - this isn't the 1st time there's been a discrepancy…

    Can you post your receipt from JB HiFi for $19?

    • Romen on 15/01/2014 - 13:15

      Use the mobile link.. It doesn't say it's out of stock, so should be able to use it to price match. ;)

      • tonester on 15/01/2014 - 13:28

        mobile link doesn't seem to offer pickup so +$5.95 for delivery :(

    • Nevski123 on 15/01/2014 - 13:19

      I've uploaded a pic in place of the link.

      • Romen on 15/01/2014 - 13:21

        Put the mobile link in the description then…

      • tonester on 15/01/2014 - 13:23

        as price-matching is not a deal and officeworks is out-of-stock i've marked this as oos

        • Nevski123 on 15/01/2014 - 13:26

          Ok. Sorry folks. Good luck to those who try a price match.

      Yes.

    elizabeth st melbourne no stock, tried jb hifi elizabeth st to match but no deal.

  • IJustKnowStuff on 15/01/2014 - 15:44

    Damn it I wanted to get another e-reader for my girlfriend

  • snoopy76 on 15/01/2014 - 15:49

    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.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 15/01/2014 - 15:58

      As physically in the store or you did that online?

      • snoopy76 on 15/01/2014 - 16:50

        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.

  • ForeverInBlueJeans on 15/01/2014 - 16:06

    Jb hi Westfield CBD(Sydney) refused saying 'under their cost price'

  • BringAPlate on 15/01/2014 - 16:18

    JB matched the $19. Didn't check stock either.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 15/01/2014 - 16:20

      Did you just print out the receipt picture or just walk up to them and say OW is selling this for $19

      • regenade on 15/01/2014 - 17:00

        Can you please post the receipt and where in Melbourne you got it from ?

      • BringAPlate on 15/01/2014 - 17:08

        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.

  • cyrax83 on 15/01/2014 - 16:21

    I just bought one at OW online. Is it back on stock? Seems to let you put it in on the mobile link….

  • damnscenekids on 15/01/2014 - 17:18

    Tried it in Townsville JB, the best they would do was $26. Not bad?

  • puskar on 15/01/2014 - 17:19

    Just got one from JB at ENEX 100 Perth, thanks mate..

  • Mahalo on 15/01/2014 - 18:06

  • maplesyrup on 16/01/2014 - 10:55

    Just walked out of JB with four of them! Price matched. Fantastic deal. Thanks. Very happy :)

    • leofly on 16/01/2014 - 12:39

      which jb? Moore Park did not agree to match it because it is online only deal

    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.

    • Nevski123 on 16/01/2014 - 17:07

      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.

      • eddomak on 17/01/2014 - 14:21

        You're welcome. For anyone else interested - they seemed to have restocked. Last hour they had around 3-4 black ones again.

  • TheAviator on 16/01/2014 - 15:49

    Tried JB Macquarie and they wouldn't match. Wouldn't even provide a reason why not.

  • martinj on 16/01/2014 - 18:03

    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".

    • Joyoz on 16/01/2014 - 21:38

      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.

  • Nevski123 on 16/01/2014 - 18:24

    Woohoo nice one martinj and "hot girl"! I went back and got two more today at $19. No questions asked.

  • attfiecz2 on 17/01/2014 - 05:58

    thanks OP.

  • zzzzz81772 on 17/01/2014 - 06:59

    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.)

    • Dju on 18/01/2014 - 16:26

      Try Carindale. It's confirmed working a few comments up.

  • TheAviator on 17/01/2014 - 18:17

    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!

    • chocogem79 on 17/01/2014 - 21:45

      Where did you go? Ive tried Leichhardt & Broadway no luck. Please post your receipt. Thanks

  • yamumma on 19/01/2014 - 02:06

    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.
