50% storewide at Dungeon Crawl. They have been having some promotions lately so stock levels are low, but you might find something you want. There's free postage, too!
Hurry! Stock is clearing out fast!

EDIT: The site seems to be updating with new games, too. So keep refreshing. I've noticed that PS4 games are being added often.
EDIT 2: Seems as if they aren't adding new games anymore. They were randomly doing it when the sale started, but hey haven't done so in a while now. Possible they might add stock later.

    This seems a lot like a comapny going broke, increasing discount value over time until all stock is sold to raise maximum cash to pay creditors.

    • exit on 20/12/2015 - 12:12

      They've got 277k (which is only a portion of total ebay sales) feedback on ebay as well as online sales. If they sell that much games and still going broke that's ridiculous.

      Edit: but you do have a point, a lot of their games are being sold for $1-3

    • saile on 20/12/2015 - 12:13

      Possible. From what I remembered, they used to always stock the latest games.

      Seems like the store is empty now.

      They used to also have a retail store in the city. Now they are online only.

    Yes did see a few titles for xbox one some not bad price some im sure could be had for less elsewhere and some i already got.
    But kept going through list,comparing prices with other places and each time less and less was coming up.
    Ended up getting game of thrones probably crap but was only 19.95 compared to 40 and also double that in some places and looks like it just came oot a couple of weeks ago.

    This is a response I got from them asking about their stock levels:
    Our stock levels are low as we tend to hold off on restocks until after Christmas once we enter in the December month. The reason for this, is Jan is a very quiet month for us, and it is risky for us to hold excessive stock in the quieter months. We did try Boxing Day sales,but being a smaller retailer, we found that our sales were eclipsed by the big retail promotions, so they were often ineffective. I hope this has answered your questions - if you have any more please let us know!

    Regarding these Dick Smith comments, I think it's a bit unfair, I bought a heap of kewl stuff when it was 25% off (Tomb Raider 2, Assassins Creed Syndicate, Witcher 3) for Xbox One. The list of stuff was getting shorter and shorter in direct correlation to the number of happy comments. So when they have 50% off, of course it's just crap left. They are clearly just looking to empty there shelves.

    • watty on 21/12/2015 - 11:11

      Common issue of overselling and mismanagement of inventory. They did the ebay thing with their own store sales to maximise the opportunity to sell but since stock is represented in two places there's always the highly likelihood of screwing up somewhere.

      • exit on 21/12/2015 - 15:36

        Yep… if you buy something from their normal online store, it doesn't update on ebay until like half an hour later.

        Some of my games have shipped while some haven't even though I ordered all yesterday.

  • star64 on 21/12/2015 - 10:45

    My ebay order just got cancelled, along with this message:
    Sorry to advise that as our Xmas sale has exceeded all expectations, we are out of stock of this item and cannot send it to you.
    So we'll send you a refund via Paypal shortly, along with an email from eBay to cancel the sale - please accept the cancellation.

          @seanneko: Because that's not what neg feedback are for and you're essentially screwing a retailer over something they have no control over despite you not even losing out in the first place?

        • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2015 - 15:38

          @shot: I have to disagree with you, retailer do have control over their stock. On their ebay account (retailer account) they have to input the exact amount of stock they have on hand. Even if they sale the same product over two channels (ebay and own website) they could easily divide their stock between those two. Say if you have 10, you could assign 6 to ebay and 4 to your website, just depends on where has higher traffic. So yeah, they deserved negative feedback. I don't think it's fair for them to cancel your order after they have taken your money, since many retailer won't let you refunds because of change of minds or sometimes if they do they charge you for stocking fees like 30%.
          You can't really say that we are not even losing out in the first place, say for example, during the last ebay 25% sale, you are going to buy say PS4 console, you could either get it from Good Guys or Dick, they both same price and you pick one of them and apply the ebay coupon for 25% off. And the sale ended and how piss you are if they cancel your purchase after that, saying they don't have stock, and you swear you could went on to the other retailer the day before and they will have the stock?
          It actually happens to me, during the spend $200 get $100 ebay promo. I bought $130 shoe and some other stuff $90. After few days the shoes seller write back to me saying "unfortunately they were running out the stock" and offered me refunds, so screw them, caused then I won't even qualified for the spend $100 get $50, since the other purchase is only $90. So that I have to pick something else.
          Bottom line, retailer that don't have good control over their stock levels do not deserved anything. For god sake this their occupation, what they do for living, procuring stuff, managing their stock and resell it for a profit. Stock control is a basic requirement as a retailer.
          Sorry for the long reply. Nothing personal against you, shot, just pissed off with dungeon crawl.

        • exit on 22/12/2015 - 16:04

          @Jackfruit: Dungeon Crawl didn't have any stock mismanagement in any of the eBay sales they were in. Only due to their 25% and 50% off sales in the past couple of days did they have problems since purchases through their online site (dungeoncrawl.com.au) couldn't be updated instantly onto the ebay stock levels. They did input the correct number of copies available onto eBay but the stock levels on ebay couldn't be updated instantly as with any other retailer on ebay. The only difference is that during the eBay sales, retailers like DSE and TGG didn't get sales on their online stores but on ebay whereas it was the complete opposite from Dungeon Crawl which caused a different effect since one could be controlled and the other not.

          All retailers are suffering from the online stock to ebay quantity problem so dont throw DC into this, if anything they have better stock management than other retailers. Their ebay stock quantities were correct but they take time to update.

          That's why I don't feel it's worthy to neg a seller of something they have no control over. You said that retailers can split their stock up but this is inefficient and likely to cause further mismanagement issues.

          I have no problem with you leaving neg feedback but I don't think it's fair to throw retailers under the bus for something in my opinion, is beyond their control

        • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2015 - 17:28

          @shot: The problem is my order is from their own website which they have 100% control. If they couldn't handle sales from both ebay and own website, my advice is don't, just pick one, from their website or ebay. Nothing worse for a business to make promise they can't deliver. In business, if something beyond your control you should work to eliminate it. When a retailer running a promo, they should have anticipate a sharp increase in sales, so really this promo is not an excuse for their stock problem.
          I assume this is your personal opinion and you have no affiliation to dungeon crawl. Opinion being opinion, my opinion is, this is stock mismanagement, plain and simple, with a number of people have their order cancelled.
          Few years ago TGG also did a clearance on all their games, I remembered a huge number of ozbargainers also have they order cancelled. This is also due to their stock allocation between stores and website. However, TGG management took the blames, they didn't blamed the overwhelming response, as this is what they expected. They gave us refunds and vouchers equal or greater than the refunded value, in my case I received $40 voucher got $25 order refunded, have couple delivered straight away, 1 or 2 back ordered.
          So stock problem is not something you should put as beyond their control. Beyond their control probably World War 3, zombie apocalypse, end of the world kind of tsunami, and probably alien invasion. Stock problem and stock allocation should high on their lists as a retailer.
          Therefore, I don't accept any of their excuse, taking money and issuing a receipt is a binding contract that they as a seller must fulfill. I don't care if they have to run to JB or EB games to buys it in full price and send it to me, as long as I received it.
          If they couldn't handle simplest sale/promo, perhaps retailing is not suited for them, while their store now empty, probably they should change occupation.

    Hey guys,

    No doubt most have heard we are no in Voluntary Administration. (Today is my last day personally :S)

    I have a post here that answers most of the common questions: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/226741

    In regards to a couple of thread specific questions here:

    'Order cancellations'

    Our inventory management system went bonkers due to the increased traffic and sales. The biggest issue from this is that inventory updates slowed down, meaning eBay listings weren't pulled by our software, or we sold past our actual inventory limit. We even did a stocktake last week to keep things accurate and this still happened. This isn't an excuse or a request for forgiveness - simply an answer to the questions you understandably have.

    Normally we would not be so blunt as 'Sorry no stock, here is a refund'. But due to the VA, we no longer have the luxury of other options eg replacements, waiting for more stock to arrive. We also, wanted to process them immediately while we still had the ability to do so by the appointed Administration.

    We are on a skeleton crew so time was limited - for this reason the priority was refund, then email notification. It meant it took a few days for people to be informed, even though the refund was processed quickly - we completely understand this is a massive pain this close to Christmas as some orders were presents and we feel terrible some customers weren't informed sooner - we just really wanted to make sure people were not out of pocket financially.

    'Where is all the good stock?'

    Well technically this sold earlier in the month. As we have said on some previous post no restocks were happening. That means the better stuff was lapped up earlier in the month. (AC syndicate and BO3 for $37 tends to mean stock goes quickly…). Sunday was really the dregs of our inventory (although still some good stuff there like Rocksmith) so obviously you were going to be disappointed if you were hoping to grab Just Cause 3 at 50% off (That sold out on pre orders unfortunately)

    Apologies for any confusion over the Xbox Live codes - that was an old banner that hasn't been updated. All memberships sold out earlier on - I believe the last codes sold on our first 25% off offer.

    Again, as stated on other listings, our search function on the site has been playing up for some time and showing out of stock items. (thus the blank screen when you click on it). I can confirm that nothing was being pulled to avoid being part of the offer - Admin wanted EVERYTHING GONE, so pulling things for the sake of 'ugh don't want this getting bought at 50% off' would completely defeat that objective.
    As our last day is literally today, it also really eliminates the whole 'they will restock it later at a higher price' theory too.

    Also confused by the 'they are adding more stock' as that certainly wasn't happening. (No one was working Sunday, and all emails were scheduled Friday). My guess it that some items were being added by our system that were for orders that were check out and not paid for.

    Finally - for those that encountered the technical issues we are sorry about that. Again, nothing sinister at play here, just a shitty back end that went bonkers from all the traffic. If we were still trading we definitely would have done more about it.

    Anyway, obviously still some criticisms to this I know, and rightfully so - I just wanted to give you guys some answers. Most of you have been major good sports with us all during this, and have given us some wonderful support over the years and deserved some explanations.

    All the best for 2016 and Merry Christmas to you all.

    (PS Probably the last you will hear from DC on oz bargain, so best to direct questions via our email or to the Administration)
