I love this ozbargain website and its community. Always been a hard nosed bargainer but never new this site existed!

So just thought I'd share my first bargain hunt using Intel from this site in the chance it works for others… All valid deals and strategies with good stock at end supplier Big W.

Bargaining combo complexity level: Tetris
Luck level required: Leprechaun

Combination of the:
10% off Big W Groupon deal:
10% off xmas gift cards in store:
And $299 Dick Smith PS4 deal for price matching: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/222964

Went in to the Big W store armed with:

  1. the shelf ticket picture on my phone that 'I took' (copied from the DSE $299 thread: http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/100459/35299/20151201_1… )
  2. the receipt photo posted here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/225867#comment-3303230 (thanks to hoftos): http://imgur.com/ and
  3. a $299 Xmas gift card costing $242.19 after stacking the 2 x 10% off deals.

Story to sales person went:
"I'm trying to get the best deal I can on a PS4 and saw in store that Dick Smith had 500gb consoles for $299 (showed shelf ticket picture) and that my brother in NSW got price matched at BigW (showed receipt pic). I'd prefer to buy it here though as I have a gift card".

Sales person had no dramas matching and paid for it with the gift card… Didn't bother about week old receipt or query whether DSE had stock.

Here's a pic of my receipt if you want a more recent one to show as evidence in trying your luck: http://imgur.com/AIyqT1v

    Protip: Find a Christmas Casual if you try this. The PS4 at DS was clearance and sold out literally everywhere, and should probably be against ths T&Cs of any price matching policy.

    Congrats on a great deal though!

    Cheers. Yep looked for a juniorish looking person, waited til line was busy at entertainment section, and went on a Sunday (hoping main store manager working odds are reduced)

    And yep understand it's a chance deal, hence in forums as opposed to deals. I guess anyone can try it if they are planning on using stacked deal for the normal $368 price… And if no price match its still best price going atm

      I think this deal counts as well played, not much paid!

    Lol, yep, you need the dumbest assistant in combo with a newby to bigw for any chance of this working. Grats it worked for you. Maybe if you let us know who assisted you we can get the deal, altho he'll probably wont be in the job long soon after.

      A lot of casuals don't really care, it's not about them being dumb.

    Wouldn't mind this scam for an Xbox One, as soon as I can get one under $199 I'll try it.

    can't match the 299 dse deal on last Thursday. The electronic staff the website for DSE and that back to normal price $4xx.
