Looks like anything listed as a 'BBQ' under the BBQ category will be entitled to a 50% off discount this sunday! (Max $250 discount)

"The offer entitles you to a 50% discount off the total purchase price (excluding postage) of BBQs in the BBQs category on www.ebay.com.au purchased during the Offer Period."

Hopefully we see some other stuff listed in the category too (assuming that works).

WARNING:
eBay have just added this line to their T's and C's:

eBay reserves the right to disallow or reverse a discount in circumstances where it believes a sale or purchase of any BBQ or other item as part of this sale has not been made in good faith. This includes any collusive conduct by buyers or sellers or any other conduct which eBay considers to be unfair or untoward.

(Thanks JDF)
Be wary of buying items that aren't BBQ's in the category with the discount!

Regardless, anyone after a BBQ should check out eBay this sunday!

  • 1 transaction only (per account)
  • Multiple items per transaction allowed
  • $250 max discount ($500 spend)
  • Must pay with PayPal
  • Must purchase during the offer period (Sunday)

          How funny would it be for you to be picked up by Paypal and back charged for the additional times you used the code. They are well within their rights to do so.

  • OZB Al on 02/09/2014 - 10:11

    I bought a smoke generator from Urban Griller, a well known BBQ seller, but when I look in my eBay history the item is now delisted with the following message:

    We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Centre to help resolve any problems you may encounter.

    I've never seen this happen before. I've paid already of course, and it doesn't look like there is a problem with their seller account, should I be worried?

    • tomclancy on 02/09/2014 - 10:26

      you don't have anything to worry about

      Read the message again

      • treeman on 02/09/2014 - 21:01

        I got a similar thing about a DVD i purchased, it never arrived and asked for a refund.
        So doesn't look good!

        • OZB Al on 03/09/2014 - 08:08

          I emailed the seller and got the following back:

          Ebay just figured out it's not technically a BBQ and killed the listing.
          They can't stop a sale that has happened though!

          So I should be OK :)

  • jccb on 02/09/2014 - 12:05

    I just received email from "thehardwarevillage" asking for another $80.00 for the freight due to "size & weight".
    I am not very happy at all & don't know what to do. There is no much saving if I have to pay "$125" for the freight alone.

          wow thats epicly dodgy. surely that is against ebay rules?

          if its not much of a saving maybe its worth playing the bluff and saying you have already entered into a contract etc and tell them there is no way in hell your paying more now

          did you actually read the add before purchasing the bbq, I'm guessing you live out side of the designated $45 area that was included in shipping, if not I would be lodging a compliant with ebay

        • fruxo on 02/09/2014 - 12:39
          +1

          Depends on where you live I suppose, it does say it only delivers to Metro Brisbane/Sydney etc for that rate. A bit dodgy since they don't specify the borders. If you think you live in these areas I would argue, otherwise I'm sure you can cancel the transaction and get a refund. Not sure if it is against rules to have a shipping cost and then a note elsewhere saying it will be a higher (unspecified) cost for other areas, but I doubt ebay will care all that much. Easier to just cancel purchase, but you can always try and argue if you want (and involve ebay if this turns out to be against their rules).

        • j1568 on 02/09/2014 - 13:10

          I'll probably get a similar email from him as well as I ordered a Weber Cart and only noticed about the possible additional shipping charges outside of those areas he's listed after receiving the purchase confirmation.

          If it's unreasonable, I will get him to refund it. He shouldn't be putting a shipping price on the listing if that is not the price to send the item. Most people will rely on the shipping cost section on eBay when looking up for the cost to sent the items.

    • sywater on 02/09/2014 - 13:28

      I would say it's really doggy and they tried to rip off people in the beginning. if the shipping fare varies, they should highlight the sentence in the description or provide a calculator or something. They might not be able to get that many orders, so they don't care if anyone cancel the order because of it, and there will be always someone pays for the extra.

    • WaywardOne on 02/09/2014 - 14:24

      I too received this email.
      This is the second dicey email I received from them — the first was when they said that they wouldn't honor the 50% discount code (which they later renegged on).

      If they had have known they were going to pull this stunt and charge $100+ for postage I would have bought it from another seller (The Good Guys, BCF etc). I'd consider cancelling this transaction, but the coupon code is expired now…

      • scottb721 on 02/09/2014 - 14:29
        +1

        Their first email I think was purely them thinking they had to foot the 50% so an honest mistake.
        Would have been funny to see their initial reaction.

        Upping the postage for those in the included delivery areas is certainly unfair though.

    • treeman on 02/09/2014 - 21:00

    His explanation is due to "weight & size" & nothing to do with the metro area.
    I consider myself living at the metro area - 20 km from the city center Adelaide.
    Anyway, I told him he can send the item to my work address which is just 3~4 km away from city center.

    • warmbeer05 on 02/09/2014 - 13:18

      I'm suprised he said it has nothing to the not being in the "metro area" considering your in Adelaide and his description reads "$45.00 to most Sydney Metro suburbs. Wollongong ? Sydney - Newcastle
      ? Please contact seller for competitive rates to other locations"

      • jccb on 02/09/2014 - 13:21

        Shipping

        POSTAGE COSTS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. Unless stated otherwise in the item description,
        The Hardware Village ships to NSW, Victoria, Metro Brisbane, Metro Adelaide and Metro Hobart.
        The price for shipping in the ad relates to these shipping destinations only.

        • warmbeer05 on 02/09/2014 - 13:41

          didn't bother reading that as I usually just buy on what is written in the description, if it was me I would quote back to them there own shipping terms and see what they say,,, but ebay being ebay I wouldnt hold your breath for any form of recourse

      He/She has been a busy little bee. Thousands of emails and 500 orders to get through, if each order averages 10mins to process (check payment received, contact buyer, confirm shipping address, order dropshipping and double check everything to not make a mistake) that's 5000mins or 10 x 8 hour days. Now assume he/she has a day job - where on earth will they find the time to reply to everyone? If I ordered from Tom I wouldn't be surprised to receive zero contact for the next 2 weeks.

      If you don't need the extra height then you may be better off getting a wireless Maverick thermometer from the states. Much more accurate and allows you to monitor BBQ and meat temps together if you're doing a roast or slow cook.

      • treeman on 03/09/2014 - 20:27

          +1

          A good price is very subjective around here. I've got an ET-732 (that I'm using to keep an eye on a pork neck smoking overnight tonight) that I picked up on Amazon about 12 months back for around $65. Can set an alarm for min and max bbq temps and max meat temp which means I can relax and get a decent sleep…worth the price just for that as far as I'm concerned.

          ET-733 is the new model and will probably set you back closer to $100. Not in the market for a new one just yet so don't have any links.

          You can easily test any portable thermometer in boiling and iced water…not so easy when it's built in to a hood.

          I was actually looking at the Mavericks ET 732/733 too, but the cheapest option locally is 120Aud and amazon is over 100 after shipping of around 35-40.

          Ended up getting a iGrill 2 for ~110USD shipped, only 10usd more than what it actually costs over in the states. Check it out, it looks pretty cool and quite a few bbq forums say it's decent.

    I purchased a Q200 from ebay, from a seemingly unidentified seller (didn't appear to be a store or anything) for $490. Overpriced, but had little choice on the day and I was drifting in and out of mobile coverage at the time. After postage and ebay discount, $280. Not a huge bargain, but cheap nonetheless.

      Smaller cylinder's aren't as economical to fill but you probably won't notice if you're only using it occasionally. Don't have a Baby Q so can't recommend a size but whatever you go for, get 2. If you don't do it now you'll end up buying a spare the first time you run out of gas half way through a bbq with your food half cooked.

        I just got the accessories from a local TGG for my Q1000.
        Brush - $18
        Cover - $21
        Trivet - $34 - I got the big trivet instead, also fits the Baby Q.

    Very unscrupulous but would it be possible to return said half price BBQ to bcf for a full refund as shown on the receipt??

    Hmmm…

    • treeman on 05/09/2014 - 11:59

      Anything is possible I suppose! But not ethical. If they checked the date of receipt it would be pretty obvious what you have done if they think about it at all.

      Anyone got BCF to price match?

        absolutely not ethical! im not doing is im happy with my weber - more a case of thinking out loud.

    • marquise on 05/09/2014 - 13:24

      The invoice shows the full price, so it would be in the realms of possibility.

    • j1568 on 05/09/2014 - 18:17

      In the first place you need to check bcf return policy and it doesn't appear they accept change of mind returns.

      • treeman on 05/09/2014 - 18:26

        Most companies do though…a company like that you would imagine should accept.

        • j1568 on 06/09/2014 - 00:09

          Not necessary. If it's like bunnings, myer, then those type do. But like BCF, if you read their refund or return policy they state the conditions and change of mind if not one of them. This will then come down on the store manager discretion. I believe even a store like Rebel Sports don't allow change of mind, and it's up to the store manager to accept the refund.

  • skirulz on 05/09/2014 - 13:08

    Is it ethical that they jacked up the prices and shipping. Technically they received the amount shown on the receipt so you should be entitled to the amount on the receipt for the refund.

    • treeman on 05/09/2014 - 18:09

      What they should do is you go back with your BCF card and deduct $50 off the price!

    Got my Weber delivered today by Appliance Online. Didn't go through Tom though …

  • treeman on 07/09/2014 - 13:05

    Just looking for a non branded weber trivet.
    Anyone know if this would work?
    http://www.ikea.com/aa/en/catalog/products/40176455/

    It is stainless stell has plastic feet but assuming I can take off the feet?

    Any info would be great!

      Looks more like a pot cooler.
      I wouldn't heat anything to a high temperature in an oven or weber unless is for food use unless it is specifically made for that purpose. That means not releasing anything nasty up to 300c.
      Heavy metals, plastics, paints all = Bad JuJu if they get in your food.

      • treeman on 07/09/2014 - 21:22

        Confused…you need to use the trivet to cook a hot chicken, lamb roast etc. Just want something that doesn't cost $35…

        • King Tightarse on 07/09/2014 - 21:51

          Sure, anything trivet, poultry stand, baking tray etc that is made for a domestic oven should be fine. I would go with a known Aust/US/UK brand just to be sure it is food safe.

        • treeman on 07/09/2014 - 22:00

          @King Tightarse:

          Thanks.

          Know one that would be suitable?

  • 1Dollar on 07/09/2014 - 22:33

    what's the best way to clean the Weber Q Family series? Seen others with really black or brown stain on it. Weber recommended to use the large 3 Sided Grill Brush and water to clean the grill after cooking while it is hot. And use the Weber Q Cleaner to remove the black and brown stain. Any recommendations?

    • treeman on 07/09/2014 - 22:37

      Would like to know as well!

    • srr on 18/09/2014 - 22:11

      Yeah, just do what Weber recommends. The best brush is from Woolworths, the one with curved shape, long handle and sponge on the other side. It doesn't cost a fortune and lasts long. From time to time you will need to clean insides, I do it with paper towels. Don't need to clean it all, just remove most of buildup.

      Also, the best drip tray is from under some pieces of meat from Woolworths, for examle pork scotch fillet. They thick enough and fit well.

  • aldog on 08/09/2014 - 12:41

    Been more than a week now and still haven't received my Baby Q from TGG. Received a phone call this morning from my local TGG store saying that they're going to be sending it at some time this week. $75 postage fee and more than a week wait? Pretty poor if you ask me! Like King Tightarse I'm considering giving negative feedback for lack of communication and very slow postage considering the amount paid!

  • dannyboi on 08/09/2014 - 19:49

    My Weber Q1000 from TheHardwareVillage arrived today. It was delivered through Courier Please.

    Pretty keen to try it out when the weather actually clears up!
