Actually, that's a really good death metal band name.
'Clowns on Fire' was a band, a long time ago.
Negged for nothing, lol. Do I again! you only get 5 a day!
more please? I'm seeking negs to crowd-fund my new band "Broden's FAntics"
Fowlfire
Are all these comments about Cockburn or the mouse?
It's a Cockburner of a deal, man.
All the locals call it "Co-burn", all the non locals say "No such thing as a silent ck, it's cockburn"
invoice available please?
been here a few years and i still don't know how to upload receipt
Once you have scanned the image to your computer you can upload images from ozbargain My Account > Files > Upload New File
You only buy 1…Emily????
Why does it say "Price Override - Soiled/Damaged"?
Is the mouse damaged in any way?
Seems suspicious.Surely, they have other text to replace that for a Clearance.
My receipt says Price Override-Clearance/Oddment
It scans as $60 and she has to override to be $20.
If you look below the "soiled/damaged" price override, a comment has been manually added that reads "old stock".
That's normal terms OW use for their clearance stuff.
i will go have a look tomorrow @ this.
Lol'ed @ the officeworks location
The locals call themselves cockburners.
I lived in Perth for a year and was pretty unfamiliar with the area. I got a job at a retail store that also had a branch in Cockburn. One day a customer asked me where our other stores were located, so I started reading him the list. When I got to Cockburn, I honestly thought my co-workers were playing a prank. I did that awkward mutter you do when you're not sure on someones name: "There's a store in…coughhrmCockburnhrm". The dude didn't react, but he must've thought I was an idiot.
FYI, I later learnt it's pronounced Co-Burn, and West Australians don't seem to think its funny at all.
funny eh? try cockburn sound…..
I'm from WA, and I still think it's hilarious.
I live not far around the corner. In Firearse.
Is that anywhere near Innaloo? Browns Plains?
Nah, it's near Dog Swamp.
Same here, i've worked for a retail chain before and had a store in Cockburn, in my early days i actually did pronounce as 'cockburn' and the customer was like "whaaaaaat.. excuse me" ..
It's like they don't expect some-people to not know, its not immediately obvious that its pronounced differently.
Well really, if they wanted it pronounced 'co-burn' they'd have spelled it as…'coburn'. I live about 20 minutes away and happily call it Cock-burn
Yeah spot on
Around the corner, in Sorasse?
reminds me of one of my software engineering unit. All students in the class would pronounce "Cockburn's Use Cases" as "COCKburn" instead of "CO-burn".
By the end of semester, our lecturer had given up trying to correct us and had started pronouncing it like we do. Cockburn.
To clarify, it's pronounced Coe-burn.
But yes, it's hilarity never ends. I was once on a train ride and I heard someone say "I have to keep going until Cockburn". Poor bugger.
I've lived in the Perth area and didn't know how to pronounce it until recently.
It's 'earth' with a 'P' in front…
I've lived on Earth all my life and didn't know how to pronounce it until recently.
It's 't' with an 'i' in front…
Its better than some of our other suburbs

Hi this is Bob Knob at Cockburn Officeworks, how can I and my friendly teammates, Billy Willy, Jacque Coq, and Roger Todger help you out today?
The store manager is Iva Hand.
The assistant manager is Will Rubbing.
And don't ask what position Richard Head is in.
Just don't mess with the general manager, Ben Dover - he'll surely make your cock burn lol
When i grew up my mates Dad's name was "Wayne King" so awkward.
Wonder if there is a Wayne King in Cockburn?
Nawwww I'd buy two of those in 2 seconds flat
Only 2? I'd probably buy atleast half a dozen…
You would need half a dozen considering how easily they break.
Bargain!
been using mine for 2 yrs.. great mouse.. though the cord is pretty shiet..!
Damn why couldn't it be somewhere nearby.
Yeah, Bald Knob is quite a way away.
jandacot, fremantle or oconnor?
My guess is the Jandakot store but some clarification would be nice.
Just picked one up at Jandacot, it still scans as $60 but they'll correct it when you point that out, so watch out.
Still plenty left.
Jesus. They're smart for not having this online.
Plus for Cockburn alone.
If it's like that when you're by yourself I wonder what will happen when you meet that someone special?
good mouse.
Great price. Can we price match at other OW?
+1 for cockburn
Has anyone checked any other stores yet and had any luck?
lol
Broden's back!
And he/she delivers!
WHY????????????
one for each finger?
is this your hand
http://media02.hongkiat.com/hands-fingers-manipulation/multi…Did you leave any for others?
I hope he gets Cockburn…
Now we know what a (profanity)'s car boot looks like
Good to see they drive a crappy lil car though. Maybe they can put the winnings toward something a little more befitting a fatha
If you are going to be a greedy bastard, I suggest you don't take a picture and show it off here.
Are you an idiot? Where is your fair go attitude? People are voting him down because most people on Ozbargain aren't greedy like you and him, nor do we need to resort to doing things like this to make a quick buck at the expense of others that might not be able to get one.
hold up a second…just take a deep breath….if the store had a limit on purchases and he sent in 5 friends or relatives to buy then for him it would be different. But the store had no limit and really he did nothing any other person with $240 spare and an ebay account couldn't do. I do think naggers are just a bit ….uppity about that.
Besides, it also shows up how Lazy Officeworks etc are when even THEY could put items like this online and use bidding rather than set price. If they are happy to let heaps of them out the door @ $20 then they could up their margin and notoriety by running online 'bargain' bids. I bet you it will start to happen with everyone like TGG etc on eBay now.
There isn't a need in this case to refer to each other as idiots, please. I'm not JV.
It's not about whether someone could or couldn't do something. You just completely missed the point and obviously if you fail to understand it the first time then I don't see any hope of me convincing you of the reasons why it's an unethical behavior in the future.
Edit: I wasn't referring to you as an idiot but the poster above you making a very idiot comment
I DO understand your point about fairness. The thing I am trying to stress is that peoples ethics are different on case-to-case basis, and one heck of a lot of people will simple get away with what they CAN. So if the store doesn't set a limit then booey for him.
But really, your position can only be taken on a point of personal credibility if in this case YOU went to THAT store and there were none left. Then you or anyone else in THAT position would have full rights to want to slap this guy.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, just logical, captain.
Which is why my original statement stands
"If you are going to be a greedy bastard, I suggest you don't take a picture and show it off here."If you are going to do it, then don't show it off here. I wasn't saying you can or can't do it; obviously there are people who are going to do it and noone can force him otherwise, but don't come into this online community to brag about it
Yes I get your point about bragging it.
You know what though, people who remember Broden sometimes miss him in a nostalgic kind of way - that guy was a billionaire in the making who possibly topped himself after we all laughed his antics into legend status while making ourselves feel good about shouting down a mega-capitalist.
This guy reminds the OzB community that his spirit lives on. Evil or not, it's just damn funny. Don't suppress someone doing what he can and having a broad grin on his face unless it personally inconveniences you, I guess.
Shame he only bought 1 ps3….Noone is a saint and we all pretend to be the good guys but guys like this gives us a bad name. As more and more people are getting aware of Ozbargain, it doesn't create the healthiest of rep for us.
You know he could have bought the entire box if he wanted to…but I counted 12 in the bootgate photo.
Didn't you know we're ALL saints at OzB? Just ask my mate JV. cough
I don't think it really tarnishes this sites reputation, just adds colour, and heck, even this conversation/debate has been constructive. I feel stimulated.
Surrogate? door knocks
Nope, it tarnishes our reputation. Look at Gerry Harvey calling us 'professionals'. I know it's not the best example but it doesn't have a positive effect, whichever way you look at it. The last one I assume is gone, and now potentially 15 other people missed out (I counted 16). If there was an endless supply of it in the store, could be a different story but if someone who lives in CockBurn saw the post tomorrow, they will not be able to get one.
Sigh… Understand that this is a free market but last time I checked OzBargain was a community where people shared these bargains for all to gain from it. People who do this and then people who condone the behaviour really make it sour from a community point of view. Remember it was this community that led you to this bargain without it you would of been none the wiser.
EDIT: Forgot to add, unfortunately there are people out there who really don't give a two hoots about what others think and this we cannot change unfortunately.
That's right, people who are predisposed to scalping are always going to do it, regardless of whether it is frowned upon by the general community. All we can do is…neg away
Welcome to CAPITALISM ffs
If you object to it, do something about the system, not the little people trying to make the best they can of it. Go scream at the banks, mining companies, etc that are robbing us blind for billions, not a guy with a few hundred bucks of PC gear.
Either get up out of your chair and do something about the real crims, or dont be a hypocrite.
Looks like you haven't really understood what the meaning of our posts. What we object to is the fact that people on this bargain finding community will miss out due to this. I have no issues with capitalism but I do object to people not being to share bargains around due to some users greed and selfishness. Remember this is a bargain sharing community not Scalpers Anonymous. Share a bargain and share alike.
Have you just missed the whole point? Or just have trouble with reading comprehension? This has nothing to do with capitalism, nor does that apply to an online website such as Ozbargain. Either get up out of your chair and go back to school, or read the whole point of the argument again; from the start.
Hypocrite? Maybe you need to learn how to use that word correctly too. How am I a hypocrite for telling someone not to do something that I don't do myself?
End of argument. Please do not reply again
Exactly, If you find a bargain yourself then clean it out, it's fair game.
If someone else posts a bargain then you clean it out, your an ass.+1 for you.
Gerry Harvey says? You really apply any credence to comments that master of markup says about bargain hunters? C'mon, you could have quoted Mother Teresa with more cred than Uncle Gerry. He deserves all the Broden's we can point in his direction. Do you also support his stance on online sales?
I challenge you NEVER to buy more than one of anything that's on special, ever again. I doubt you can keep to that sort of self control all the time. Once you finish school, I think your methods for profit or income making will change enormously when you have to swim in the real world with real fish, not the socialists that frequent this place.
It's not about whether Gerry Harvey has any 'cred'…It's about businesses who are becoming more and more aware of Ozbargain. That in itself is GOOD, but if we are becoming more and more known as people who will shamelessly grab everything in their sight without the slightest inclination for other people, THAT is not something we want to be associated with. Do you really not get that? Say what you will about Gerry Harvey but he is a billionaire, which is more than what I can say about any one of us on this website. It's not about whether I support his stance or not, but about the negative perception we could portray. Please learn to read.
There is a difference between buying something for MYSELF and buying 16 mice with the intention of flogging it on the internet; which is also beside the point, because the whole point of this argument was about doing something which is frowned upon by the majority of the community which that very person came into…to brag about doing that exact thing.
Please, I urge you to go and understand the point of the argument. You have stated multiple times that you understand the point, yet you relapse into the same old ridiculous claims….
Mother Teresa? Never buy more than one of anything on special? Come on mate, you can do better than those feeble attempts.
I understand the larger point of your argument, and do somewhat agree with you but there is always another point of view. If there were only 5 TV's in stock at 50% off and someone bought 4 of them, that wouldn't be very considerate of them at all. However it's not a relapse to point out that people aren't responsible or accountable to others in a free world. The guy who bought 12 mice is not accountable to you, me or anyone here. The larger point is still that the store did not set a limit and therefore he didn't 'scam' the deal.
Your exaggerations however don't help. "grab everything in their sight" didn't happen here, nor was it "16 mice" - I counted 12 in that photo, so I guess that's a 33.3% exaggeration.
Let's separate fact from opinion for a moment, NO ONE has posted here that they went to the Cockburn store and couldn't get one because there was no stock left. The deal is expired. This entire discussion has become theoretical.
Unfortunately you seem to need to get personal with emotive attributes like 'feeble'. Again, this is completely unnecessary in this case, though it does serve to illustrate your anger. In the same way you didn't appreciate being labelled a hypocrite, and fairly so.
Anyway, good luck with obtaining sale stock in the future. Maybe you will be lucky enough to have only had people with your good morals visit the store before you. More commonly though is the real world experience that deals have 'sold out' quickly. Hence the saying here 'you snooze, you lose'.
We are not talking about the free world, the boundary of this argument only stretches as far as www.ozbargain.com.au; nothing more and nothing less. Of course the person isn't accountable to anyone. You forget, I have previously stated that the guy is free to do whatever he wants and therefore I agree that there is no 'scam'.
Exaggeration is a subjective term and no there is more than 12 (look at the mice that are sitting at the bottom of the boot, underneath all the other mice).
"Let's separate fact from opinion for a moment, NO ONE has posted here that they went to the Cockburn store and couldn't get one because there was no stock left. The deal is expired. This entire discussion has become theoretical."
WRONG
rocknrolla1102 17 hours 8 min ago
Sr but i got the last one. There was a man before me but he just picked one for himself. Tks a lot mate :)This deal has only lasted a day, which means it has sold out very quickly, which means there are other potential buyers that could have saw it either today, or tomorrow and missed out. It's called extrapolating, and is more than reasonable in this case. Just because noone has posted it here, doesn't mean there aren't people who have missed out. There are people living in CockBurn that do not know about Ozbargain.
This entire discussion has become theoretical.
Let me reiterate and end this discussion once and for all:
-The entire discussion was about this guy posting his greediness on Ozbargain (fact).
-I have stated "If you are going to be a greedy bastard, I suggest you don't take a picture and show it off here."(fact)
-By the almost universal negging of this guy (and by further extension: Broden), it can be safe to assume that this kind of behavior is frowned upon by the general community of Ozbargain.(FACT)All your other arguments are invalid because I have stated multiple times that scalpers can do as scalpers wish (FACT). Just don't come here to show off, expecting to get praised for your cleverness.
Yeh okay buddy, you should have moved on ages ago instead of coming back to this. It was clear from the start that you were never going to get anywhere with your attitude. All I have been arguing was one simple statement and you needlessly delve into other aspects to justify to yourself and everyone scalping is alright.
Noone has said that what he did was illegal, yet you keep trying to argue the point.
Whether im a new breed or an old breed, I am pretty sure scotty didnt make this website to encourage scalping behaviours from the users. Please do not even argue this point.
I will argue with what I think is absolutely right, but that doesnt mean I cannot accept something that I feel I was wrong about. But you have given me nothing that is worth changing my mind about.
Im not angry, im sitting at the doctors waiting for a check up. This is nothing worth getting angry about. It is more like you getting angry that you cannot get other people to accept that scalping is morally acceptable. Please go away
Pipe down, you two.
Whether it's right or wrong, lawful or unlawful if you do this sort of thing you're a bit of an a hole. Banging on about rules rights and laws to justify actions is all well and good, of course the photo guy was in the right in those respects, it's allowed, you're still polishing a terd though.
Very undergraduate.
The cheapest on ebay is $60 and that person looks like a proper computer store not just some random person with 100 feedback.
He is going to have to pay ebay / paypal $7 - $8 and another $8 to Australia Post.
So the profit he is going to make at best is $24 each. Realistically to compete he is going to need to be $5-10 cheaper than the person selling them for $60 because they look a lot more professional.
Hardly worth it given the risk of people wanting to return them and the very big possibility of the price coming down as other people try and do the same thing.
gumtreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It would be difficult to sell 16 gaming mice on gumtree let alone one.
I'd laugh if they were all DOA, then I'd just turn around and say "you just got Cockburnedddd" lol
bought them with dafatha, can confirm not doa
Now that's alot of gifts!
If those are going to be on ebay and have a problem selling them, your stuck with all those mouses… Unless you sell them for the same price or cheaper. Alot of hassle not really worth it in my opinion.
It's the best mouse I've ever used, so I'll likely end up using them for years to come.
Thanks for the pic, reminded me I have an X360 Wheel/Pedals and Kinect still in my boot from 2 weeks ago!
