picked up the CX3's for $67 odd, had them before and lost them glad DS had a sale
Dick Smith? … Who?
Isn't this the same as receiver sale from early this year?
Is it safe to dick online now?
I went to their retail stores… seem they are fully stocked display cases filled with tablets, and mobile phones. SO they probably have stock of whatever you order.. But are they selling them at the right price?? Well that's the 520M dollar question…
i personally go for the click and collect and never have problems
only reason i don't deliver is because dick smith is a 2 minute walk from me
had 2 click and collects cancel on me..never again
I had that happen once….very satisfying after doing battle with Sydney traffic ad parking.
Don't buy anything from them until they honour their gift cards….they stole from kids and have the money to meet their obligations…they are choosing not to.
Buying from them now is just supporting their theft.
In fact do buy from them…online…maybe they will steal from you as wellIts ironic that if you do the opposite - buy stuff from them - it would make it more likely that they would honour those gift cards in the future.
Unlikely. Businesses only learn their lessons if you put a dent in their revenue. No way you will expect them to change by throwing more money at them.
I'm not talking about behaviour. If DSE becomes profitable it could have enough money to cover its debts, for example, gift card holders.
@ChiefAJ: Oh my…. What a noble idea helping the DS administrator to turn the business profitable. Anchorage capital would like you to become their investor for their next project.
@Jackfruit: I'd like to think we're all a little bit smarter for the experience but I expect that Anchorage and their ilk have learnt the most…
Your argument is sound….but unlikely. The new owners are going to be highly reluctant to take on the gift card liability.
So that leaves gift card holders to be paid (as unsecured creditors) from the remnants after all expenses of the sale price of DSE.
Which at this stage looks like being very little.
That said, the new owners may as a marketing / goodwill tool decide to honour the cards…unlikely though as the liability is now seperate from the saleable entity.Yeah, it's highly unlikely but here's hoping that somehow giftcard holders get at least something back.
Won't SOMEBODY please think of the children?!
I think DSE did when they had their 10% off sale just before Xmas.
"lets think of the the children these will be bought for"…get lots of dollars in before we go broke.
Pity they don't sell discounted giftcards. 10% off…
dont buy from them. ds are a joke
It's only a good deal if they allowed you to pay with their gift card.
So the root of the problem is the previous owner who stripped the company of stock to artificially inflate the stock price, floated the company and sold out their part reaping huge profits. The shareholders were sold a pup. The administrators have decided that to make it a going concern they need to ditch the current cards, they are trying to build a saleable business. I don't agree with their methods, I believe that the gift cards should be honoured but if we allow dick to fail are we left with hardly normal and jb price hi? We will be reduced ed to a Coles woolies situation. Competition is good for consumers and closing dick is not good for anyone except the other players.
No one will buy Dicks debts. Do we then let it fail? Who benefits?
what are the prices like on the Momentums? do the work out cheaper than the Peters Of Kensington deal I posted earlier? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/235686
