  I got it a few weeks ago for $537 for my girlfriends place expecting it to be sh*t compared to my Panasonic VT50 55", but it's actually very good. Well worth $599 (which is what it costs with this deal, not $499). The only thing I can fault it on is the black levels in night footage, but that's a small thing. For most stuff it's fine, good even. Perfectly acceptable as your main TV unless you're a finicky videophile.

sigh So I'm looking for a "low-mid end" 4K TV and saw a couple of what seem pretty good deals at Harvey Norman over the weekend ($1,800-$2,000). So when I see this deal, I'm amused once again by the discounting tactics:

SAMSUNG 55" (139cm) Ultra HD LED TV UA55HU7200 - $2749 listed (Save $500 with Discount at $2,249)

BUT:

Harvey Norman has it for $1,947 on special (delivered and installed apparently).
The Good Guys are $1,989 as advertised
(JB HiFi have what I believe is an improved model? UA55HU8500 for $2,448 with no discount / special advertised).

So this leads me to believe that DSE do not sell it usually at $2,749 (or they are marking it up a good $800) and the Save $500 is a joke.
nuchalis on 17/11/2014 - 08:50

Ah, these prices are AFTER the Mayhem discount is applied… I got excited to get a EOS 700d for $400 for a second (if that $200 canon cashback still works too)

Just be aware that they jacked the prices up. Some are even more expensive even after the discount compared to before ~ 2am.

UNIDEN Guardian W/les Security was already $299
SONY Floor Standing MUTEKI MHCV3 was already $279
Panasonic 60" (152cm) Full HD 3D Smart LED TV TH-60AS700A was ~ $1350
CANON EOS 700D Single Lens Kit Was $749

These are the ones i remembered and these were the prices before the discount

So dont be deceived as most of the items were at there normal price. Kinda misleading on Dicks behalf

Unity1 was also online at that time and he can confirm too

      They did something similar the other day as well. The deal was 10% off the entire site (No exclusions). When I first checked the site, it had new iPads as well and 10 minutes later, they had taken only the new models (iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3) out. Rest were still there and one could get 10% off. This is dodgy practice.

      It's scummy what dicksmith do, but they can do it with impunity, and they continue to do it because consumers that think it's scum business practice still shop there… Look what CBA got away with.
    - Joxer on 17/11/2014 - 13:27
      
      There might not be much they can do. E.g. Let's say they sell a widget at $50 half price from $100. Next week price is back to normal. So now they're giving a special based off a coupon code $50 to have it back to the same price.
      
      They're right in saying it's a special given if you don't apply the code the usual price of $100 applies. Confusing as all hell though.

Is there a site like camelcamelcamel that will track local retailer prices ?
That would be a neat way to gather evidence that the price jacks every time before they offer an 'Indian giver' discount

      There will be a lot more scrutiny (and probably negs) on anything the DS rep posts here from now on, including Eneloops.

No that i am sticking up for Dicks… but the prices that seem to have gone up are the ones that were one day special yesterday…

eg canon camera
security items

hence they came off special and now these $50-$500 deals are based on the standard price..

not that im saying this is the right thing, but this is generally what happens…

its like Myer having a special ticket on a TV 2,000 then they have a Saturday only Deal 20% off TV's…. they dont go and discount 20% off the $2,000 special price they would take it off the $3,000 standard price they had before their special ticket was up

again im not saying this is right, but just what you see 9 times out of 10 from retailers.

Cos his a dick that's more up than down.

This was posted 10 years 4 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
