      I have reported Ted's to ebay. I urge everyone of us report these sneaky retailers.
      If ebay gets enough complains may be they will do something.
      Do it QUICKLY, before Sunday

    • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 10:28

      You could email ACCC (or get on their FB site), if they get enough complaints on a particular matter then they'll look into the legality of what's happening. That said, it's very likely something is written into the EULA (or terms & conditions) to absolve sellers (& other 3rd parties) of any liability over possible price changes.

      • jemgaarenstroom on 28/03/2015 - 17:01

      they dont give a shit, the same thing happened the last 20% sale was on, there are still some savings to be had, i bought some hard drives 10% cheaper then anything i can find elsewhere.

      Yeah good luck reporting them to eBay.

      eBay loves these big stores and is gonna stick up for them regardless.

      This sale is just a marketing ploy to make people believe they are getting a good deal.

      There might be some group deals which may be great offers though!

        From what I have read this may contravene the ACCC guidelines in relation to "Two Price comparison advertising". I would encourage all to read up and make their own judgment and report to the ACCC if they feel it is wrong. It may also be useful to take screenshots of current pricing and "adjusted pricing" if/when it occurs.

    • neonlight on 28/03/2015 - 11:34

      Most people don't care. And even we report nothing is gonna change eBay has done this many times and ignore complaints and it's the same old same like voting, makes no difference.

    Listed as $623 (Gigabyte Brix i7)

    • MilkDrinker on 27/03/2015 - 23:30

      Nah pccasegears ebay store just always is like $20-40 more expensive, even fans have a $10 markup

      The free shipping is a good offset though

        I believe renlireb was referring to their bad math.

        • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 10:52

          They take the info straight from their own web site so certain items (like clearance items) will show an "old" price. It's redundant on Ebay as they offer free shipping but have to raise their prices to cover it. It's not bad math, simply they don't intent to spend hours attempting to remove the "normal" price on clearance items, not to mention they've only just started this Ebay site.

          @Ebany: "Bad Math" being rhetoric. I think we all know what happened. They don't want to "waste" time editing descriptions and simply prefer their listings to look a little… umm, what's the word? lol

    Was going to check price of postage from TGG, and realised they now had pickup from store available! It's almost sad that we won't have the usual will-they / won't-they dance, followed by the outrage from the people who "lost" the bargain when they had to pay postage :P

    Personally, I will try and buy a mobile phone, pending on how the price changes etc. Fingers crossed. Despite all the complaints about price hikes, there's always bargains to be had at these store wide ebay sales.

  • kulprit on 27/03/2015 - 22:48

    I don't suppose anyone found a good router for a good price? Seems that msy/umart is still cheaper (or at least the same) after the discount, but maybe I missed some good contenders.

  • ironworthy on 28/03/2015 - 00:42

    Just to clarify, only the retailers listed are participating, not any seller listing under the 'Tech' category, correct?

      Correct.

  • buzzlightbeer on 28/03/2015 - 01:38

    Is there anything worth getting?

    • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 08:14
      +2

      I guess it all depends on whether you've been looking for something in particular, or whether you were just waiting on a better price on an item. If yes, and item(s) end(s) up being cheaper after premiums applied and 20% (or 22%) taken off than elsewhere, then yes, it'll be worth getting. If no, in all likelihood, there is nothing worth getting. But it's 20% off, so you know you want to get something at least! lol

      If you were looking for a high-end graphics card, large capacity SSD, or a NAS drive, for example, this definitely is the weekend to get it. PCCG prices are the lowest on certain items I have seen in a while (or rather, will be on Sunday). 6TB RED comes down to $317.46 by my calculations. Definitely time to stock up. My current cart value ready to check out: $2,479.14. Estimated savings over buying elsewhere: ~$350. Definitely a good deal to me!

      Edit: Done and dusted! :D Thank You ebay! Looks like I'm $1,983.31 poorer already. People, it's a targeted offer, but check your ebay to see whether you got the 24h early access code. I have to admit, I do feel somewhat sorry for the regular folks. There's only 9 6TB REDs left, hurry!

      • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 12:47

        I wanted some 6TB Red's! I only just bought a couple a few weeks ago but need a couple more.

        Plus I need a PSU, Mobo, Ram, CPU, and GPU to fill my Corsair T380.

        • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 13:02

          Seems like I'm the only one who's bought 6TB Reds so far, there are still 9 left. No early access for you? I need a few more things too. Well, tomorrow now.

        • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 13:16

          @daerka: Need a mini itx and PSU 1st. Cosair design this beautiful case but make the PSU slot slightly to small to take their own product ….. wtf.

          Also, re-installing Win7 on my main system. Don't want to touch the ebay site until I have my full level of protection back :)

  • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 08:46

    IMPORTANT announcement: ebay has sent out targeted early access codes. It allows for one of your claims to be made 24 hours ahead of the official start. Just used mine. Check your ebay to see whether you've been targeted! Good luck! :)

    I'm surprised at Dell. I honestly didn't think they'd inflate their prices for this sale. I was wrong.

    I had a U2913WM 29" ultra wide monitor bookmarked. Last night it was $549. This morning, $659.

    Voting with my wallet. The greedy bastards aren't getting my money.

    Have any of the listed retailers NOT put their prices up?

      A few hard drives and RAM kits at PC Case Gear haven't changed prices since the sale was first announced. Should it stay that way it will be cheaper than anything on staticice

      • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 11:11

        PCCG won't change their prices.

          @O15: It's to cover the free freight.

          That said, I am after a new i7, PSU, memory, and GPU. I bought a Mobo I had my eye on but all the rest are only listed on their web site, not Ebay.

    • rapoot6 on 29/03/2015 - 02:25

      I have been looking at getting the XPS 15 and they have actually dropped the price on it by 20% so today I'll be taking another 20% off it. Maybe it was not intentional.

          If you're in the market for a NUC, check out Kogan. Coming from Hong Kong, but their prices are hard to beat, particularly for the i5. $404.16 is an awesome price. Don't get hung up on that "last one" business, I believe Kogan has plenty stock, but they seem to be selling them one at a time. Probably to keep people from buying 4 or 5 at a time.

        • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 11:09

          @daerka: Kogan's price structure might be easy on the eye but wait till you have a warranty issue, absolute nightmare.

        • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 11:20

          @Ebany: Don't worry, the chances of encountering warranty issues have been factored into my decision. I honestly don't expect any, it's a risk, but I'm willing to take it. Don't trust Kogan, trust the product they're selling (I mean, in case you can trust the product).

        • Ebany on 28/03/2015 - 11:33

          @daerka: Very true.

          CVIP24H code worked for me- even though I never saw the email.

          Just bought the 'last' 5th gen i5 NUC from kogan, an hour later there is another 'last one' available- same listing.
          Great price though.

          Kogan: $518.16 -20% = $414.52 - 2% cashback = ~$405AU.
          PCCG: $581 -20% = $464.80 - 2% cashback = ~$455AU

          'Normal' Computer shop price for i5 NUC 5th gen is ~$530 - $560. Import from Amazon works out to ~$520AU - $530AU

        • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 13:10

      not sure if its that targeted based on how generic it is

      How many times does it need to say your exclusive for you to realise it's for selected people only and if there was any doubt the large black text directly under the offer graphic states "*Max discount $500. Selected categories only. 1 transaction per person. The voucher is just for you and cannot be shared. Ends 07:59 (AEST) 29 March 15. Item cost only; excludes postage. See full T&Cs."

        yet many received it and it is no way a generic code…
        if it saves someone a few bucks today so they don't need to wait till tomorrow, its win win..costs $0 to try it today for those with purchases in mind

        and wouldn't be the first time a 'exclusive' discount code was sent to people that worked for more than just the target audience..

      I would go for Nexus 6 16Gb for $694 at the Good Guys for better warranty.

    How are people getting early access codes? Are they for people that haven't purchased recently?

      Ask ebay because they are the only ones that can answer this question.

    crucial m550 512gb ssd comes down to around $217 delivered from kogan if i'm correct? that's pretty good right?

    • daerka on 28/03/2015 - 12:56

      Cheapest on staticice is $279 (actually, no, it's Kogan at $257), excluding shipping, so yes, it's pretty good. I got the MX200 M.2 500GB for $248, which is a really good price as well.
