    What are you going to report them to the ACCC for?
    
    That's got to be the most common line around here, "THEY DID SOMETHING I DIDN'T LIKE, REPORTING TO ACCC".
    
    How immature.

      It's not a question of "they did something I didn't like"; if you pressed buy within 3 secs while being logged into your SE account, you should get one if there were 50 there.
      
      Using the "technique" below shouldn't be necessary if it was a fair offer or sale.

Smells a bit fishy to me. I think it is a setup. What's worse is, even if they are reported nothing will come from it. I will personally never use SE ever again.

King Tightarse on 30/06/2014 - 21:16

Yes, got one. Not gloating, just really happy about it.
I used the technique suggested by GimmeTheStash:

"login to your account and have the item in your cart ready. Make sure you have your delivery details pre-applied.
When the time comes, click update and the sale price will be effective. Transact via Paypal if you can.
Proceed with the transaction and make sure to agree to the terms. (Tick box)
Using this method I was able to purchase the WD drive in less than a minute."

Also had computer clock up and ticking down in front of me.
Bang, hit refresh and that was it.
Just dumb luck, roll of the dice, server shootout.

  lot of sites dont update the cart price once its in there. So didnt try it.

  Got one too. Followed the same advice. Used direct deposit. Paypal was too risky. Timestamp on address bar was very helpful too.
- diiilpickle on 30/06/2014 - 21:21
  
  I did exactly this, refreshed, got the updated sale price, got to the confirm page on shoppingexpress.com.au and realised it had the old price -.- went back to the shopping cart, and couldn't check out again D: damn.
  
  Happy for the OzBargainers who got it!

I followed the suggestions made by a few people here and got my NUC! Thanks Shopping Express.

The tricks are (and I know all those who just missed out will be really appreciative):

Have the item already in your cart.
Have your address details saved and direct deposit option saved.
Hit the Update button in your Cart when the time comes around - when the price updates you just need to hit the Checkout button, agree to the Ts & Cs, then hit Process.

EDIT: Beaten to it by the guy above. Seriously, to all those people saying they used PayPal and missed out - it wasn't hard to read the comments from earlier today and maximise your chances.

  Thanks for the suggestions :) Got a R9 290. Hopefully it won't go missing in transit like the 7970 I bought last year.
pw2002au on 30/06/2014 - 21:19

meh … guess I can add the me too to the NUC miss :( Shame Shopping Express. You could have moved a heck of a lot …
- MrMaestro on 30/06/2014 - 21:28
  
  I think SE is losing money on these deals. Regular price of the i3 NUC is about $350 and I don't think there's 30% fat in the price to just play with.
Bang1 on 30/06/2014 - 21:43

With only 20 R9 290. I think it will be zero chance of me getting one, but I guess one can still hope. I dont know if I should use my lucky smartphone or my faster cable connected pc to try my luck? Decisions decisions…

  do both, with one account, there should be automatic restriction to not purchase more than one, need one more person though.
  
  or make one more account :)

I wish businesses that engaged in these sort of hyper-exclusive sale shenanigans actually had the server hardware to withstand the onslaught they bring upon themselves.

Seriously, you advertise this for several days before-hand and when the moment of truth arrives, your site is just sh*tting itself.

  You save about 10 bucks off versus computer shops (MSY, etc).
  Not as good value as the 750 and 500 GB models; however, it's the cheapest I've ever seen the 250GB. Pretty good for me, as it was exactly what I was after.

Deals are like a lottery, 2 much time and effort to just miss out each time. Why don't they just accept all the orders saying there will be a waiting period, order bulk quantity so they should be getting it at a cheaper rate and then ideally would be making more money. Means happy customers and result in a positive experience instead of so much frustration, its bad for your brand.

  They were probably trying to get rid of old stock.

  Ditto, I decided to skip this entirely (was interested in a NUC) and focus on the eBay deal, at least there you can see stock levels.

    Ebay deal?
    - CyberGenesys on 01/07/2014 - 09:58
      
      There was not an eBay deal regarding to NUCs, but the 20% off certain stores.

Hi Everyone,

Hoped most of you scored at least 1 thing in our Epic Marathon.

Got a few things to announce:

ShoppingExpress whole crew wants to give a big THANK YOU to everyone for participating in & making this a busy event for us. You guys are an awesome crowd & we promise to constantly dish out excellent deals on ozbargain.

I also want to specifically thank a group of ozbargain members that have been constantly supporting us & voted in our "EOFY Facebook Event". I am grateful to these supporters - who are instrumental in making the Intel NUC @ $249 come true and subsequently making this event a success. Besides thanking you guys, I will be organizing "something" to your ozbargain inbox shortly :).

Best Regards

  Should have provided 83 nucs to the 83 people who voted (I was one of them!)

  Looks like my order is going to be delivered today - nice and fast!
  
  Pity about the 3TB drive though. Was in the cart all ready to go, and then the system decided to remove it from the cart :(
