        I would run auction days instead, start with lower prices and attract more potential buyers to compete for higher price, many-in-1 card ;)

        they don't really have a leg to stand on. if they want to sell stuff, they need an actual sale. when you take into account returns/warranty/gift cards/customer support - all of that is gone (apart from manufacturers warranty). but again, not suprising, considering this is how the business has been run as long as I can remember.

        • omgitzrick on 26/02/2016 - 16:03

          Eh I got Sony Wireless 2.0 headset for my PS4 for $79 (normally $129) and a couple of free games thrown in. Maybe you just need to be nicer? :)

          Hopefully there's some good stuff by the time the discount has ramped up to 40-50-60% off, but I won't hold my breath.

    Took a look at the Toombul store just then. Its nothing special. Mostly DSE junk that is over priced to start with. discounted tv prices are average. I would imagine this is the first stage of discounting- happy to wait till discounts are increased

      This sale is no more of a sale than a Closing Down Sale for a shifty rug stall. I would expect some random deals over the coming weeks, but for now, not a bargain (unless you are a fan of DSE branded overpriced cables etc…)

      • GLO on 26/02/2016 - 17:12

    Has Anyone noticed their email has a banner in the middle that says "new stock is arriving"?

    Which company in liquidation would be getting new stock?

    • KentT on 26/02/2016 - 16:07

      New store stock from warehouse?

      For the online store, there's probably items they could dropship straight from the distributor. No reason not to. As long as there's $5 profit on it, why not get telstra to ship you a new mobile and pocket a few bucks.

      • BillyG687 on 26/02/2016 - 16:38

        Exactly. I'm positive their warehouses/online stock will be sent to stores.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 21:54

      The warehouse would still be jam packed with unsold private label products. They literally have tens of thousands of DS branded TVs sitting around in the warehouse, so I hear. Doubt they'd have much branded stock to clear that the recievers actually purchased while the company was in limbo.

    Walked in to the neutral bay store today and the staff were all unhelpful jerks. I asked 1 guy if the 20% off laptops cane off from the marked prices and he goes nah it comes off from the oriiginal price. I told him that means then that the marked proce is cheaper than the 20% off and he just goes yeah in that case u just pay whatever the marked price is then. I felt like asking wjat was the point of all the 20% off sogns everywhere but decided not to waste my breath

    • KentT on 26/02/2016 - 16:11
      +7

      But this is not a normal sale. It's an accountant sale.

      1. Start at RRP
      2. 20% off for a week.
      3. Didn't sell? 30% off for a week..
      4. Didn't sell? 40% off for a week..

      etc.

      The prices are what they are, and the staff can't help it so don't argue about it.

      The lesson from all this is "Don't be a Dick".

      • nismo on 26/02/2016 - 19:23

        Spot on KentT. Your post should be on every website and social media post talking about the DSE closure. This is exactly how they do it.

    Went to a few stores around the inner S.E. Melbourne area and not a single product was on sale.

    Many products in store are more expensive than the website and the stores refused to sell for the price on the website.

    Didn't see a single person actually buy anything either, just a lot of empty hands leaving.

    Nothing worthwhile seems to be left in any store with decent footfall (Westfield Doncaster, Chadstone, Highpoint), and even if it is, the prices are still higher than what I can find elsewhere.

    No iPhone and iPads are in store for what it's worth…even online they're delivery only, and there's no way I'm letting Dick have $1300 of my money in an attempt to save $70 considering the've told people their deposits have been forfeited…

    Such a shame, good memories of the awesome DSE pricing on PS4's via various ebay sales and the other genuine bargains from around the same time frame, but it's all over now except for, as a few people have said, there might be a few stray actual bargains that people luck into as part of this sale but for the most part it's pretty uninspiring stuff..

    So what happens with stock they have as they approach last day?

    The news today said banks will get some money back but no one else so therefore stock is not going to be transferred somewhere else?

    I think I'll wait for the last great firesafe if it ever happens - then just have to beat the staff grabbing everything.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2016 - 19:55

      Will probably be sold en masse to places like GraysOnline or COTD for a few cents on the dollar. After 8 weeks of liquidation I'd only expect private label crap to be left anyway.

      I agree with the above statement. I was about to post a similar comment, but you were quicker. I went to several stores in Sydney and their sales assistants were very impolite. They acted like you don't exist in the store. Bad customer service can kill a business in no time.

    You'd think they'd have pulled their careers link when they put up the closing down banner.

    Put simply, Dick Smith is a great place to work. We value each one of our 3300+ employees and support them with the training and incentives they need to power ahead in life. When you join Dick Smith you join an organisation with a strong and rewarding culture with an exciting future.

    Maybe start a new thread when bargains actually start occurring. A computer I was looking out for was reduced from $2599 (last week) to $2539 yesterday. This was no decent brand and other computers and TVs haven't been reduced at all. Most stock is around 20% more expensive than competitors anyway and the configurations are limited with many containing last gen processors. No real bargains, all hype a waste of time going there. Hopefully in the future prices will drop. At least one person was happy with an s2 tab for $520 but nothing that I can see of note.

  • kryptoz on 27/02/2016 - 10:03

    Yay… DS is selling their stock (shop damaged/open box/returns/EOL/etc), for a discount, but don't expect any kind of warranty, albeit DS stores were notorious with warranty even before Dick sold the business.

    Meanwhile, Myer is selling a lot of the same brands (Apple/Bose/etc) for twice the discount that Dick Smith is offering, but including full store warranty — https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/236326?utm_source=newslett…

    Very few things are actually on sale compared with pricing at competitors…yet another Dick fail…yawn…

    Even when the ship is going down, they still down learn that false advertising and lying to customers is a short term strategy that gets found out very quickly.

    DSE leaving the market:
    1. Will not have a material effect on competition, as they were higher priced already (ie. they weren't driving market pricing down)
    2. Will benefit JayCar Electronics, the only other franchised hobbyist electronics chain
    3. Will boost JB HiFi, Harvey Norman, and other bricks & mortar retailers, they will absorb DSE's small market share

      JayCar doesn't benefit from Dick Smith closing down. Dick Smith doesn't sell electronic components ever since they changed their target market of DIY electronic hobbyists to the general market, and that happened many years ago.

      If anything competes with JayCar it's eBay, Mouser and all the other online retailers that are it's biggest competition.

        Shows how often I was ever tempted to go to Dick Smith in the last 10 years…

    First two pages contain pretty much all the green positive votes. Remaining pages, after people have seen for themselves or read others' reports, pretty much red negative votes all the way.

      And if you search for a cached page of this product you will see it was this price a week ago. It's easy to break the law when you you're closing down.
