          are you seriously expecting FullHD in a 'real laptop' for anything less than $700? let alone $400~

          Yes. I think most ozbargainers that have been watching decent tablet and laptop deals know that they can get a machine with 1080p for around that price.

          There's been many deals on laptops/tablets in the past advertised here like the Asus Transformer, Surface Pro and more where 1080p on a laptop/tablet has been for around the $500-600 mark.

          Here's one from the other day. Full 1080p on a laptop with an i5.

          Those are tablets, which hardly command the same price of a similar spec laptop / ultra book

        • c0balt on 02/10/2014 - 12:38

          @nismo:

          No, they are real laptops/ultrabooks. I even linked you to one that shows the specs and you may want to go have another look. Note how it has an i5 with integrated GPU? Did you see how it has an MSATA SSD? Did you see how it comes with Windows 8.1? And then you still think it's not a real laptop?

          That goes the same for the Transformer, Surface Pro and many others.

          They are full Windows 8.1 experience laptops/ultrabooks. You can install Steam and download Civ5 to any of those.

          The form factor is a Tablet, not a laptop

          If you had have said it has the hardware internals of a laptop, I wouldn't disagree but calling a Tablet a Laptop is laughable.

          So what?

          It's not the form factor that determines the split between ultrabook and tablet, it's the specs.

          "Ultrabooks run Windows, as any other laptop, while tablet PCs run Android or iOS (the iPad 2)."
          http://www.ultrabookreview.com/163-ultrabooks-versu-tablets-…

          I can't believe you would call Surface Pro line a 'tablet' and not a 'ultrabook', it's the whole point of making such a device in the first place. The Surface RT being the lower specced tablet that can't run a full desktop experience.

          Laugh all you want, just don't do it around colleges else you may find yourself the dunce of the office.

I don't mind of things sell out quickly, but what geeves me is when you go through the whole purchase/login/credit card thing and then a day later are told sorry, your order is cancelled. I don't have the time for that.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/10/2014 - 22:02

          @clarky: Agree entirely but that's not what this and other whingers claim each time one of these events is posted. Despite their hysterical and often (usually) erroneous claims thousands of buyers have received excellent deals/savings on the best available prices!, which after all is said and done is the name of the game. Some of these whingers think they ought to get 20% on items already on sale, otherwise we all ought to whine like stuck pigs and "run off to the ACCC because we've been misled". Puerile nonsense. And needless to say they don't like me and others saying so. Boo hoo boys, about time someone took you to task.

          DSE's systems need to improve. They're currently surviving on the back of some obviously good sale prices but in the longer term poor service might well kill them.

          Here's something they could legitimately complain about - I believe it's an offence to induce via an offer unless a reasonable stock level is available. Does not apply to auctions afaik.

      Said it plenty of times in the other posts.
      Won't get done over by ACCC or fair trading. As Dick Smith doesn't control the sale. It is controlled by eBay which isn't even apart of DSE.

      However if DSE did own eBay and eBay did a sale, then DSE raised the prices, then there is clearly a case for ACCC and fair trading.

        • lplau on 02/10/2014 - 08:56

          @cheapy: They do it, like in the case of Coles and their bread. They also bought a case against MSY about their warranty policies.

          However they are confined by laws and legislations. Just because you feel it is unfair doesn't mean they have broken the law.

          Its like driving on a highway, you are in the lane which has a huge line, a guy changes lane and skips all the traffic then cuts back into the lane, e.g. cutting the line. Yea its unfair doesn't mean it is illegal.

          DSE has all the rights to changing their price, the law only protects businesses if they decrease the price too much (e.g. dumping) which causes anti-competition. However if they raise the price, there is totally nothing wrong with that. It may piss off alot of people, as you can see on this post, however if they don't care about their image, then they can feel free and legit to change their prices.

          Not defending them at all pal, I'm having a go at you and others of your ilk. I've said it before in response to your whining but it seems you're a very slow learner. When you finally come to grips with the new marketing angd retailing paradigms - regular sales, shifting prices etc which aim to keep people looking and buying - then you might stop complaining, although I doubt it. You and others claimed prior to TGG sale that they were and would be doing the same - a few prices went back to their USUAL ebay selling price, a whole lot of others remained as they were. DSE - online and ebay - have obvious problems regarding "promises" regarding stock but the real issue with most of the ebay sales is that whingers like you want something for nothing. Regular heavy discounting is partly responsible for your attitude of entitlement, which is fairly typical of your age group I'd suggest - boom boom.

          If you have evidence of price gouging then do the adult thing (lol) and ask DSE for an explanation before lodging a formal complaint to consumer affairs and/or the ACCC.

          Bring on the negs - I love the reactions of your "demographic".

    Everything else looks to have been jacked in price, some things far more than 20%. Examples (click on the number of items sold to see past pricing) :

    I am insulted that they think we are this stupid.

    Plus, Dick smith will probably say "out of stock" if you manage to find and try to order a good deal.

    I reckon we're going to have to look pretty hard to find a bargain here, needle in a haystack.

      It ain't Sunday yet and as TGG ebay sale showed many of their prices reverted to "normal" ebay prices just prior to the sale (perhaps preserving stock for the sale?). HOWEVER if their prices do not return to something very close to their usual ebay selling price then you have a legitimate gripe.

      This one will be a good test because it's nearly 50% - $150 higher than the last 40+ sales: (http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item…)

      this is clearly misleading dirty tricks, just so they can get a bigger profit..

      or they are paying part of that 20% discount that we are getting, so they jack up the prices to cover the cost of advertising the 20% with ebay..

      • nismo on 02/10/2014 - 07:59

        What's your point?

        That advertised special offer of $399.20 with eBay was available for a week and on an earlier occasion also, there's no point crying about it now and always expecting bigger discounts.

        DS are allowed to sell things at normal prices. If they drop it again before this discount is over great, if not bad luck.

        Too many people complaining in here and the good guys deal also. Too many pesimists, only seeing the bad side.

          We may as well complain when shares we bought a week ago are cheaper today…
          e.g. It's cheaper to buy DSH stock now compared to last month, but it was even cheaper in June. What you gonna do? www.dicksmithholdings.com.au/share-price

          if they didn't jack up the price, you could get it cheaper than 399.

          and sold it at what it was prior to the jack up price we can get a better discount

          d***t ( 428Feedback score is 100 to 499)    AU $479.00  1   24-Sep-14 17:41:50 AEST  
o***a ( 2 ) AU $485.00  1   16-Sep-14 08:54:46 AEST

          479 @ 20 = 383.2
          485 @ 20 = 388

    All of the various DSE items I have been watching in eBay, some for months, have reverted to what seems to be DSE's dearest, non-discounted prices. Many have incrementally decreased over time and then stayed at a certain point for weeks. Kind of like they have thrown the "remove all discounts" switch.

    Negging due to somewhat dodgy pricing practices. I really can't get behind this sort of behaviour. It feels a bit like Dick's getting behind me…

      I second that, I ordered and got charged $5 by paypal this morning for the gift cards but yet to receive a single email from Dick.

      Seems like they've unleashed their inner Dick.

      Negging for the same reasons as johnno07.

      I've also had the "we have no stock" argument thrown at me two weeks after an eBay purchase. That might have been fair enough, except for the fact that the message came one week after I'd seen three of that item in my nearest store, and that others in the eBay sale history who'd ordered after me had reported successful delivery in feedback.

      Once the hours on the phone chasing them up is considered, these are speculative bets that are only bargains if you don't value your time.

      Does that make you feel…shafted?

  • Fobsessive on 01/10/2014 - 22:24

    In the 15% off eBay sale I bought something from Dick Smith but Cashrewards only tracked the base price and ignored the $5 postage. Is this normal? Can't be bothered raising a complaint over $5x2%=10c but I'd like to know.

    • CVonC on 01/10/2014 - 22:28

      yes it's correct. you only get a cashback on the amount for the item not shipping

      • Fobsessive on 01/10/2014 - 22:46

        I just realised that only 3 of 15 items I bought were "free shipping."
        The other two items were won as auctions and paid in a cart through Cashrewards two weeks ago but they haven't been tracked. Should I be concerned? Or do auctions not count? Thanks in advance.

          Auctions should count, contact them and they will fix it up.

    I sent 7 emails before they finally admitted to not having the items in stock after claiming they would send the items "tomorrow" approx. 30 days after purchasing (I was told "out of stock" after 64 days). Couldn't leave ebay feedback because the timer ran out. They sent an invoice for the refund. Just checked and there hasn't been anything refunded yet (approx. 90 days into the transaction).

    Pretty sure these guys couldn't tie their own shoelaces. I don't know how the ebay store is still alive…

    Take a look at the feedback and don't waste your time with these guys.

      Now THIS is a reasonable gripe and observation about their feedback codhopper, well worth pursuing with the business (DSE) and/or consumer affairs, although you're probably sick of them. Refunds on nil stock should be immediate and they should ask you if you want to be advised when new stock arrives. Holding on to your money for any length of time is not on.

  • SaberX on 01/10/2014 - 22:59

    Do they normally offer their mobile phones on this?
    And if so are they telstra locked?

    Thinking say the new note 4, but then i think it's out after oct 4 anyway… but just for future reference in future DSE ebay sales.

    • auna on 02/10/2014 - 09:03

      Note 4 = Oct 29.

    Dodgy price jacked up and once it's good bargain they cancelled the orders as always

    • tyler.durden on 01/10/2014 - 23:35

      or they say no stock left

      or their employees buy it first..

  • davidl2 on 01/10/2014 - 23:46

    it's a "ok deal" if you do plan to buy something from them,
    but their price isn't most attractive…..they could do better!
