      Who really cares??? $6 for 5 throwaways is fantastic

    • SJ on 10/03/2010 - 13:36

      I think ur thinking Magnalite

      • savememoney on 10/03/2010 - 13:43

        Wouldn't want to be caught for false advertising would we? :)

        5 "Maglite Solitaire" at $6.09 is awesome.

    • Rumbaar on 10/03/2010 - 14:21

      Pinpoint is the distributor/seller, not the brand of the torch.

    If these are genuine maglite solitaires - your paying around 15~20 each

    $6.09 for 5 of them is exceptional, awesome gifts!

    I've placed an order.

  • mikedavis67 on 10/03/2010 - 13:33

    just ordered 5 for $6.09! dam thats good!

  • zeppeybabey on 10/03/2010 - 13:37

    Thank you, just ordered 5 for a total of $6.09 delivery - I'm greedy but I have a lot of key sets!

  • djones145 on 10/03/2010 - 13:41

    http://www.legear.com.au/product-p/maglite-aaagbx-blue.htm

    its maglite

    i think pinpoint is the distributors (click the pinpoint and it'll bring u to otehr products it distributes)

    i'm guessing this is a old and smaller model
    and maybe the colour is not popular

  • bartracer on 10/03/2010 - 13:42

    According to Shopbot, they were selling them for $15 each yesterday……

    http://www.shopbot.com.au/default.asp?kw=Maglite+Solitaire+T…

    5 Duracell batteries cost more than $6.09!

    • shopbot on 10/03/2010 - 14:43

    so cheap!

  • tonyjzx on 10/03/2010 - 13:49

    these are probably the old incandescent types but still… $6 for 5… batteries, lanyards etc. are worth that

    sweet.

  • Kkuba on 10/03/2010 - 13:54

    can someone confirm if these are actual maglite brand? seems to be a bit of confusion, not helped by contradictions on their website

  • PleasureMe on 10/03/2010 - 13:54
    +1

    $3 for one is not a good deal, especially considering these are not LED. But 5 for $6 is a good deal! I still wouldn't waste my time with them cos I just dont use torches that are not LED anymore, but hey if you're old fashioned and like out of date technology then go nuts and order as many as you can.

  • ash2000 on 10/03/2010 - 13:57

    Has anyone found anything for ~$10 with low shiping to use the "New Member $10 voucher" on?

    • sparkles on 10/03/2010 - 14:17

      I got that email too, might take a quick squiz, I guess that is what they want. :D

      • Scratch2k on 10/03/2010 - 14:24

        I did the same, their marketing strategy worked and I nearly bought something (XBOX Live 1500 point card for $23)until I realised shipping was $10 PER ITEM, if you buy more than three items you only get charged for 2 but still, that's $20 shipping for 3 of these cards, even with the $10 off, not a great deal (not horrible, but not great).

        • sparkles on 10/03/2010 - 14:37

          Yeah, the shipping costs are sort of high. Postage for a bluray movie is $6, making it pretty much what you would pay in the shops for the same item after factoring in their discount. Hehe, wasted 20 minutes on their site looking for a bargain but didn't find one appealing enough to bother entering my cc details again. :D

          • portmac on 10/03/2010 - 15:19

            @sparkles: Yeah ditto….With the exception of the maglites, there seems to be little else cheap on this site, even when applying the $10 off.

  • abnormalitie on 10/03/2010 - 14:02

    was gonna order just one…but figured…eh…3 more bucks and get 4 more….plus my mouse is running out of batteries…so might as well…=]

  • browser on 10/03/2010 - 14:06

    Good! Don't really need one, but I guess it's good value to give away as random gift.

    The order confirmation page says they have 98% success rate, what does that mean?

  • Timski on 10/03/2010 - 14:11

    Sweet as tits. Bought!

  • clandestino on 10/03/2010 - 14:20

      No, I probably won't either….but that hasn't stopped me this time, nor has it stopped me dozens of other occasions since following this site!!!

    To bobsuruncle, your site isn't designed well for online business.

    1) Automatically inserts wrong details for billing address
    2) Has the same tab during account creation for billing address & postal address, without any indication of which
    3) Once created doesn't seem to have the ability to update any addresses.

    • lbft on 10/03/2010 - 14:55

      Not only that, your postcode is your password (WTF?)

        I spoke with them on the phone about this.

        1. There is no option to log out - either close the browser or wait 20 minutes without activity
        2. Email address and post code information security/privacy risk has been forwarded on. I also asked about removing this information and they will contact admin about it. In the meanwhile change your postcode on the website as I don't think it changes the order details although they weren't clear.

        * I suggest you also write to [email protected] from Privacy policy and if there is a need to ring them up also mention it at the same time otherwise don't bother them so they can put on more sales :)
        * It's a large company whose done deals for several years they really have no excuse.

        1. Colour is blue - no other options.
        2. It's not possible to change orders after submission.
        3. Replying to email is useless - they're only fax or phone service only (besides privacy email)

    Did I just get 100 for $6?

    • lbft on 10/03/2010 - 14:41

      Your order will most likely be cancelled, it says "Strict limit of 5 per customer".

    Cheers bobsuruncle,

    what a great promotion, I'll be checking out the rest of your site.

    I had to put 2 orders in however (first order I accidentally didn't update the quantity). Hence I have one order for 1, and one order for 4. Hopefully this is ok. Feel free to group them up and send as one to save you guys postage Orders 22221 & 22242).

    • patientvalue on 10/03/2010 - 15:23

    • EarthMan on 10/03/2010 - 15:28

      Don't think you can bulk buy on one postage fee of $3. The total just adds $3 for every additional one. Anyway, glad I got in before it sold out.

    The ANZ falcon is probably circling Bobsuruncle now ;)

    did anyone actually verify this site / company is reputable before giving them your cc details ?

  • brisdaz on 10/03/2010 - 16:41
    +4

    See my privacy/security post. Excerpt:

    Change your postcode on the website - your phone number & address is possible to find
    • it probably won't affect your order
    • an attacker needs to know email address and postcode to find your details.

    I did a couple of internet searches on unique identifies such as company name;ABN/ACN;phone number with the various key words such as scam fraud and privacy and they checked out.

    I'm still getting used to the trust metrics available on site and could of saved heaps of time by looking at the number of good deals bobsuruncle has already done in the ozbargain community over several years.

    Although I did get caught out with the lax security on the site in regards to personal information but not financial information.

    • zhenjie on 10/03/2010 - 17:43

      Why not vote on the merit of the bargain instead of voting because you're a whinging sook who missed out.

    • ash2000 on 10/03/2010 - 17:58
      +3

      I was wondering how long it would take for someone who missed out to NEG this!

      If you type "sold out" into the search box above, you will find another several hundred deals that have already sold out and can thus be NEG'ed (if we apply this logic)!

      • Mikinoz on 10/03/2010 - 18:16
        +1

        you do make a good point , whats with all these bargains starting at 12

        Surely after 5pm would be a better market for selling stuff, given his is a freebie
