  • marcozmitch on 02/10/2014 - 02:52

    Is the price change linked to the fall of the $AUD and Dick's cost to restock his inventory? That eBay PS4 sale went for a very long time at the very reasonable price of $408 with all discounts applied. Lacking the hindsight, I should have known better…

    Before anyone harps on about it being an 'Online Exclusive Offer' and that we shouldn't be expecting discounts on already discounted items, the normal non discounted DS price for this is somewhere in the $300's.

      This sale is actually a "scam". If this was pulled in-store by DSE what would the ACCC say?

      After cancelled orders, items NEVER being delivered and obvious price gauging, I will never shop with DSE again.

      • lplau on 02/10/2014 - 09:03
        +4

        If this was pulled in-store by DSE then ACCC surely has a case.

        However company law states that eBay and DSE are 2 different entites. Therefore if ACCC gets proof that eBay + DSE has been planning this, then they have a case that most likely fits into bait and switch or misleading prices.

        Price gouging isn't a crime, banks do it every day to every single customer. lol.

      Is this actually illegal under our consumer law or just dickish?

        +1

        As far as I know it isn't illegal, however very dickish. lol.

        Sadly they can easily justify their actions as "restoring prices to RRP", similar to most stores saying "50% off" but it only applies to non sale items, e.g. discounts don't stack.

        • aoeueoa on 02/10/2014 - 10:13
          +10

          It's illegal. I've checked with a lawyer who works in consumer law. We should really report this but that would require a lot of screen-grabs etc and I'm not bothered. Anyone else ?

        • lplau on 02/10/2014 - 10:29

          Hmmm did you give him all the details? lol.
          Sounds fishy, I wonder which law do they break. Since techncally on DSE's books they sold the item at "their price" where as on eBay's books, they paid for part of the item.

          80% paid by customer + 20% paid by eBay = Total Money on DSE's books.

          I would understand that it is illegal if the discount was given directly by DSE, however in this case, the promotion is done by a totally different company.

          I've seen many cases when the manufacturer provides a cashback and the retailer raises the price to eat up some of that cashback. Isn't this the same??? Shouldn't we go sue them all?

    • Evil-Elmo on 02/10/2014 - 10:16

      That's all the proof I need to neg the deal. Pretending there is a 20% discount when in reality it is actually only a discount of up to 10% and in most cases 0% (i.e. no discount at all) for these laptops. Highly misleading.

    • aoeueoa on 02/10/2014 - 10:25

      Hang on you need to check your numbers again. I checked the first 5 and the prices haven't changed according to google cache.

      Also model HP Pavilion 15.6" 15-n218AX W8.1 you've listed at $2k but the actual price is 699. Do some number checking there.

      • Jabba the Hutt on 02/10/2014 - 14:09
        +2

        This was all done by hand, hence the mock disclaimer I put at the bottom. You're right about the one you pointed out - the figures for the 'HP Pavilion 15.6" 15-n218AX' are in fact for the 'HP Spectre 13.3" 13-3017TU', while the former was accidentally skipped past while compiling the list. An error and an omission, as suspected :D

    • [Deactivated] on 02/10/2014 - 11:49

      The price history is a better guide and on some items they do indeed appear to be price gouging, which when combined with a 20% off enticement could easily put them in hot water with consumer law. I've sent two queries from an earlier list (3m HDMI cable - probably a price error, and a Canon camera now about 30% higher than their regular price) asking them for an explanation. Not actually interested in purchasing. If the explanation isn't satisfactory or there is none then I'll be reporting their behaviour.

      This isn't price fixing. This is more like a case of misleading prices and misleading sales.

    Poor form by DS, increasing prices to trick people they are getting a deal with this 20% off when normal prices would have been cheaper- rather dont have the 20% off sale than cause I'll will by cheating people.

    Canon 700D Twin Lens ($999), now hiked to $1297.50.. (30% up) very dodgy business practice…

    People seem to bounce up and down everytime Dick pops up with a deal, give Dick a chance, could be a far more enjoyable experience then you may expect or in some cases previous experiences

      I guess you don't have a problem with the dick

      but

      How can we enjoy the dick
      when his pisses on us each time…and gives us shit

      Yes, it seems like Dick offers genuine deal on one item in one sale, then recuperate the loss back by offering a dodgy deal next on hundred of items. Whoever in Dick's management or strategy department who come up with this plan, gonna get his/her arse bitten sooner or later.

        Nobody complains when dick pisses eneloops at you…. haha

    Oh My! Dodgy as! Price increased to counteract the discount. In this day and age of social media FB and Twitter, how do these guys get away with it? Anyone start a petition yet?

  • juicejuice on 02/10/2014 - 10:35

    Well they didn't change the price on the external HDD i just bought, so i got a handy saving of $20 .. thanks OP.

    Absolute disgrace DICK!
    Add on top of the insult I had true bargains cancelled or stolen by Dick Smith staff member in store claiming the goods are lost or not available….probably saw the bargain and bought it themselves by cancelling my order, I had this done to me at least 5 times already, whenever there is a true bargain e.g The $0.01 Camera bag & the Norton remote car (+ $5 delivery) , $5 Avatar Blu-ray etc, kind of made me give up when there is a true bargain as it always leads me to a waste of time! Add on top of that they do not even bother to reply to you after you sent the inquiry!!

      Finally for once, a price error in their favour….

    • unco on 02/10/2014 - 11:13

      And you just know if someone bought it in error, they wouldn't automatically initiate a refund like they do when it's the other way around!

    • cypher67 on 02/10/2014 - 11:52

      Thanks bought 2
