      Hah, yeah, it's like buying soup from the Soup Nazi. The other day I went in and they didn't have in stock what I wanted, but I felt too guilty about holding up the queue to look at the pricelist for an alternative.

        Their website lists stock levels for each store. People like you should for guilty about holding up the line. Every time I go there, there's some idiot who either has no idea about computers and expects Harvey Norman style assistance or someone who didn't order online.

        They really need to use Umart's system. One price for online preorders and another higher price for walk ins.

        • Sage on 14/11/2014 - 08:56

          I've ordered things online and went in store to find they don't have them in stock.

          PlainToad.. its Friday take it easy! :)

          i know msy well and i went there after CALLING them which again came after checking stock online .. .like i said i know them WELL… went there and the CPU they had been holding for me… well it wasn't there!

          usually they just look at you dumbly like what else u want me to do .. I've found during the week they actually say well what about THIS CPU we have some of these here… and what do you want to actually do… kinda caught me by surprise … there are no lines during the week :)

          that's all i was saying no one said they need to give Harvey normal style assistance (and i'm not sure if you ever go to Harvey normal for computer parts but i don't think they are of any assistance!)

          peace out

          So MSY should be exclusively for online nerds?

          +1

          @Possumbly:
          Yes. MSY are able to sell at such reduced prices (compared to places like Harvey Norman) because they have skeleton staff, because "nerds" have the knowledge to pick the parts without assistance. Idiots who don't do their own research holds up the line and will eventually force MSY to hire more staff and drive up the prices for everyone.

          @PainToad: Seems you need to think outside your tiny little me box. There's at least one obvious alternative - you could show a tiny bit of patience, choose your time to shop better, or use your initiative and organise a pickup time. Surprisingly it's not all about you all of the time.

          @Possumbly:
          Funny, the person who thinks it's ok to hold up everyone because they're too lazy to do their own research before getting to the store, is giving a lecture on selfishness.

          As for choosing hours I pickup…it's called a Monday-Friday job.

          @PainToad: your assumptions are as inaccurate as your entitlement is galling. Get out of the right side of the bed earlier and get to the store first thing Sat or Sunday. Ah but then you'd have nothing to whinge about.

          @PainToad: Good thing, you don't even need to get up early which will give you time to develop a mature attitude to other shoppers before you venture out. I'm not in the least surprised that there's at least 10 more with your entitled attitude on OzB. I'd bet good money I can guess the demographic in most cases.

          Here's another idea for you to contemplate. The thing which keeps MSY cheap/competitive is their ability to shift stock. Surprisingly that requires more that one customer.

      • Punkboy on 14/11/2014 - 09:16

        ALWAYS have a contingency product (or two) in mind when going to buy, even if their system says they have the product

      • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2014 - 12:51

        You are a good person for not holding up the queue. Thank you. If you know exactly what you are looking for they can give you a quick rundown of what they have got in stock at the lowest price though (doesn't take long), otherwise do some research on your phone while they get other parts or serve other customers.

    A bit off topic, but I've never understood why a company as big as MSY can't afford some cheap web hosting. If you've ever noticed their site being slow, it's because it's hosted on the end of a Dodo ADSL connection in Melbourne.

    Hi OzBargainers!

    tdlr; Help me choose between Dell Inspriron 15 7000 (Already purchased @ $1329) vs Gigabyte P35GV2 (MSY sale this weekend $ $1709)

    Can someone help me with laptop choice. Keep in mind I need Mrs Vietbargain to sign off on the extra $400 expense! I need to convince her that the Gigabyte will be worth it. Although I've tried to educate her otherwise, she expects laptops to last 5 years …

    Basically I've been looking for a gaming (Current play HoN + Diable 3. maybe get into something more hardcore?) and photo processing laptop for a while (but with a low height profile + decent 6hr battery life), I went with bought a Dell less than a week ago (still in transit at the moment) because they had 30% off Inspiron 15 7000 special. I believe I can get a full refund with Dell.

      • vietbargain on 14/11/2014 - 13:49

        I have looked at them extensively. The main deterrent for me personally, is that the both P150SM and W650SJ are about 31mm thick. I'll be travelling through Europe for next 18 months or so and wanted some "extra" portability.

        Also, I wasn't sure if the GPU on the W840SN would handle some later games or video processing that well.

      Are you really looking for 6 hours of battery life? I don't think either of these laptops are going to come close to that.

  • Infraction on 14/11/2014 - 14:50

    Why just gigabyte, actually after a motherboard but stock is 'low - call store' on all the decent gigabyte boards at the sale store. If i'm going to make the trip to a store I want to be walking out with a box, not a backorder. Perhaps allocate some gigabyte stock if you're going to have a gigabyte sale?

      You meant Malvern? That's the first MSY store I thought. That was back in the days without GST (but sales tax), and you could get bargains from swapmeets back in those days. MSY started to become bigger after the introduction of GST.

        Apparently before Malvern, it was operated out of some guy's house. Still don't know what MSY ACTUALLY stands for though.
