Hi fellow Bargainers.

It's not often I ask for help finding a bargain, but this is one of those times.

For reasons I won't go in to, need to purchase the Samsung UA32J4100. Dick Smith has it on special today at $430, but when I see it here at $358, it kills me.

I've looked high and low with no success. All I can do is hope DSE has a code soon bringing the price down below $400. Thing is, I need it by the weekend.

If anyone has any tricks/tips/inside knowledge for a sub $400 purchase, please share it and I'll be forever grateful.

All the very best… TA.

Buy it at $430 use your Coles MasterCard and then claim the difference when it's advertised cheaper within 2 years.

  Thanks, great tip, but I don't have a Coles Mastercard :(

Check the fine print on the one you have …they might offer the same deal.

  Seems I'm out of luck with Citibank Visa. Has to be advertised in a catalogue, not the internet…

Get Good Guys to price match the Dick Smith price. If it's offered cheaper over the next 30 days by Good Guys, claim the price guarantee

This gives you some hope if they do a better EOFY sale

  Thanks Spackbace. Tried this earlier today. TGG Preston wouldn't match the price as they claimed it said 'online' offer only, even though I explained C&C was available. Go figure.

    Try another store?
    - tightarse on 02/06/2015 - 19:15
      
      No, just the one. Was in and out of meetings all day, so didn't really have the time. I think I'll probably pull the trigger on the DSE deal just before midnight. And of course, there'll be a ripper deal tomorrow to make my day.

      I hope you didn't buy last night…!

      @Spackbace:
      Sure didn't. Trying to find someone with an AmEx as HN said they'd pricematch the $418, and with $50 AmEx credit, would make it quite a good deal.

      Could you get 5% off the e-gift card, then walk into those stores and buy a Dick Smith card? $400 with 5% discount would cost you $380.
      
      $20 saving, best I can do :)

      Know anyone with an RAC card? Can walk into an RAC branch and pre-purchase the gift cards at the 5% off. Physical gift card, valid at Dick Smith :)

  I looked.. couldn't resist.

The DSE ebay store is now $499 but the main web site is showing $418.18 with Click and Collect. That's for today only.
- tightarse on 03/06/2015 - 15:06
  
  Cheers. As I told Spackbace above, I got Harvey Norman to pricematch the $418. I then got a work colleague to pay with AmEx via this offer for a $50 card credit. So in effect, this has cost me $368. No complaints here :)
