    There are 3,104 listings on their eBay store at the moment.

    I collected price data yesterday when this deal was posted and again this morning when the deal went live.

    28 listings have increased in price since then representing less than 1% of their total listings.

    All you guys talking about consumer laws, A Current Affair, ACCC, shaming them on social media, etc. are hypocrites.

    You know what most definitely is ILLEGAL in Australia? Defamation

    Neg away…

    • aggregate on 02/10/2014 - 11:03

      Hi kamoi, would you be able to upload the 2 sets of price lists? If only 28 items went up in price, then I think the anger in this thread is not appropriate.

      However, 28 seems a bit low.

      • tyler.durden on 02/10/2014 - 11:09
        +10

        it is significant if those 28 items are

        -most wanted items (gaming console, tv)

        -most expensive (gaming console, tv, laptop, phones)

        -most likely to be purchased..hence less loss for them..or greater profit for them..whichever way you want to look at it..

        so those 28 items could account for 80-90 % of their sales..

          where's the ps4, xbox one

          your list is pathetic

          and alot of the junk items you put in their aren't the most wanted

          how did u get such a list up so quickly and on crappy items like

          Dick Smith A76 Alkaline Button Cell Battery 1pk
          Nickel plated joiner for 75ohm PAL connected cables
          Dick Smith High Bounce Balls
          Dick Smith CR2016 Lithium Button Cell Battery 1pk

          You want us to believe you been tracking crappy items like all those cell batteries and dicksmith calculators

          @tyler.durden:
          It looks like the first tab is only for items which have changed (up, down, or removed). Tabs 2 and 3 appear to have all items. So if it's not on the first page then, in theory, there should have been no change. This is assuming the data is correct (which I can't comment on).

          @tyler.durden:

          where's the ps4, xbox one

          The first sheet highlights the changes only.

          There has been no change in PS4/XB1 price which is why it's not on the first sheet. Complete pricing is available on sheets 2 and 3.

          and alot of the junk items you put in their aren't the most wanted

          I didn't put anything there. The list is automated.

          how did u get such a list up so quickly?

          Custom software.

          I just went through the 3000+ items. Assuming the snapshots are accurate(ie yesterday @ 8pm and today @ 10am), 28 items went up in price, 13 items went down in price and 100 items were withdrawn.

          You should do the calculation yourself before saying its pathetic.

          So I can easily see if a good deal come up without having to manually look through 3000+ listings. I did it with the previous deal as well with the difference being that then they actually did jack up the prices for the more expensive items.

          the prices have change, just ask anyone who has been tracking it this past week..

          Don't take my word for it. Take a look for yourself. View all revisions for the XB1. Last price adjustment was made 25-Sep-14 09:27:08 AEST.

    So essentially they have increased prices to factor in the 20% off

    Samples

    Fifa 15 PS4 Yesterday AU $67.98 Today AU $79.98

    Red PS4 Controller Yesterday AU $69.00 Today AU $79.98

    Seiki 55" (139cm) Full HD LCD LED TV Yesterday AU $599.00 Today AU $686.25

      The Seiki and Harmony may indeed be good examples for complaint. All previous DSE ebay sales were at $599 for the Seiki and most of the Harmonies $129, 149 199. The only question is whether they were on special at the better prices.

        Last week the Seiki 55" was $549 on the DSE website and $599 eBay. Before this eBay sale the price went up to $686.25. After the 20% discount the price is… $549, same as the DSE was for a week. No wonder there is so much mistrust for DSE on OZB.

    It's funny that they are so devious at making profit on their sales, but they must lose money on most of the stuff I've bought, because of their practice of sending individual items in an order by separate courier drops. I had a courier deliver a cleaning cloth yesterday that I only put in the order to get free postage.

    • shaybisc on 02/10/2014 - 13:00

Until the sale starts and we can see what the prices are we should hold off judgement. If when the sale starts and the prices are still inflated then by all means flame … flame hard.

    $185 for a pebble smart watch. Better than from manufacturer @ $114!

    • snvl on 02/10/2014 - 19:47

    "PITCHFORKS Y'ALL PITCHFORKS FOR SALE 20% OFF!"

    I think altho a low move, anyone expecting them to keep prices from previous sale price+ 20% off is abit silly, usually its rrp. Its just advertizements really, u see it everywhere, x sale in shop windows - i always giggle at the home-ware shop at my local mall thats been on a "relocation sale, all stock must go" for the past 2 years!

      Anyone, besides the crickets?

  • Unorthodox on 02/10/2014 - 15:48

    Tab S 10.5 is still decent for Aus. Stock

    • snvl on 02/10/2014 - 19:48

      Agree, any tab S is a good price.

    • atlas on 03/10/2014 - 12:38

      Yes. 32gb versions actually DROPPED in price compared to previous sales.

    Fail DS

    Tried to get the 27" samsung monitor because it's the cheapest shipped i have seen it, and got some sort of "A seller has revised the item price or made other changes to an item below" thing and now I cant buy it
    Dick move Dick, dick move.

    Edit: Scratch that, it worked after i removed the item from my cart and clicked "buy it now" on the item page.
    Here is the monitor if anyone else is interested, MSY recently had a sale on it for $319 but it was $20 shipped and i got this for $324 shipped

      Percentage wise (900%), this (posted earlier) will be hard to beat. Note some naive person paid nearly $30 for a $5 item.

      I'm waiting on a credible explanation and will be reporting the behaviour if it's not forthcoming.

        so they had a sale and then it went back to normal , whats the big deal

        • [Deactivated] on 04/10/2014 - 19:23

          If you'd bothered to look before commenting you'd have seen the "usual" price and understand what "the big deal" is.

    Neg for raising prices before sale

    Nothing worth buying.

    pretty nasty business raising prices before a sale like this.

  • nhutty on 02/10/2014 - 19:21

    Silly of dick to increase prices, EBay are footing the 20% off so they still make the sale that they had previously for the full amount that it was originally priced at.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2014 - 12:13

      Not necessarily. I'd guess it's 10% each.

    Simple. Boycott!

    Late for the party!! Haven't followed any items on DS unlike what I did for the recent TGG sale. Wrote to TGG and got a standard reply. But reading the examples makes me feel like I will do injustice to TGG if I don't neg this one. Ummmm….

    Overall, I am quite saturated with these eBay store sales. You find a handful of deals browsing over a few thousand items. It makes so much sense to post individual deals which members actually do.

    Whilst I have no particular axe to grind against DSE, this pricing debacle is simply deplorable…in all good conscience, I had to revoke my + vote, sorry OP.

    Jabba's excellent table was a bit of an eye-opener! :/

    Not a deal, not a bargain. Wasted my time. Stupid Dick!!
