        illegal? (sic) How did you come up with this legislation?

        A quick search will reveal that these devices can only be used 'off road' so to speak. That is on private land and in some parks etc.

          "illegal" was a typo by the OP, yes. Still worthy of a 'sic', because I wanted to show that I was quoting correctly.

          Also "illegal product" probably isn't a fair term if it can be used without issue in certain contexts in Aus

          Yes, correct. However, I guess that tuzii did not really mean to state that the device itself was an illegal product. I suppose that this seller has had it (and its charger) tested and certified to be electrically safe.

          but how come presales from say gearbest are allowed when they have never sold the item at the regular price.

          I suppose because the same item (or a very, very similar item?) is being sold for more elsewhere AND because the GearBest price is the lowest at the time.

        • PVA on 12/10/2015 - 21:39

    Illegal return policy that is in contravention of consumer laws. NO contact or business details can be found anywhere. Not even a cheap price. Stay well clear of this rubbish.

      Well A3Australia.. How do I prove regular price if I specifically put down its an Opening Special - opening means just that.

      The name did get registered today - congratulations. New laws are in place that trading names are no longer accepted and now you require to apply to register a business name via ASIC.

      By the way.. If you don't like - don't buy.

      It's quite simple. I don't go thumbing down people's businesses/products just because I'm not interested in it.

          Not in this country… Warranty is from the supplier…

          The supplier has to provide the remedy when goods:

          are not fit for purpose
          do not have clear title
          do not have undisturbed possession
          do not have any undisclosed securities
          do not match a sample demonstration model.

          The supplier is the person or business who sold, leased or hired the goods – for example, a retailer or a trader.

          @pmupsinep:
          Generally, it is the store or seller’s responsibility to return products to the manufacturer for repair. This may include products that are under warranty.

          If the store cannot arrange repairs (for example, because the manufacturer does not have the necessary parts) or cannot do so within a reasonable time, you can:

          get someone else to repair the product and ask the store to pay reasonable costs
          ask for a refund or replacement.

          @HoverSqoot: i understand where you are coming from but again this is OzBargains which means that if getting it overseas or via eBay and the price can be halved, being an Australian website doesn't hold much value… if you are only 10% or so over, then some people might say this is a good deal for Aussie stock…. I personally almost bought one via Aust eBay group deals for $320 and therefore agree with most that unless you are close to that mark, it's hard to get others excited on OzBargains

          Mind you if the AUD keep going down, then your price might be quite good in a few months :)

        Illegal warranty terms?

        Yes, please read the legislation.

        Warranty is direct from manufacture.

        The actual manufacturer is not in Australia. Who is the importer? In Australia the importer is deemed to be the manufacturer.

        Refunds/Returns are for DOA. It is the merchants discretion to accept returns for no reason or change of mind.

        Uh, huh. However, no one mentioned the DOA policy.

        Well A3Australia.. How do I prove regular price if I specifically put down its an Opening Special - opening means just that.

        So, they have never sold at your inflated "regular prices". So, there is no bargain.

        Ok. However, you should not be telling people what they should do.

        It's quite simple. I don't go thumbing down people's businesses/products just because I'm not interested in it.

    There's another one on Kickstarter actually called Hoverboard, but it doesn't look like it will get funded (despite having a range of 22 miles!).
