This BARGAIN was tucked away near the lifts on Level 4 at David Jones, Market Street, Sydney.

A bit of digging on the interwebs suggests this might be the cheapest price in the world at the moment. In the UK, they sell for around GBP10,500 and Stateside for around USD11,000. And this is genuine Aussie stock, so you don't have to fap about with mains power and/or plug conversions (mains power needed for the illuminated crystal side panels).

General product information here: http://www.waterford.com/london-desktop-bar

The Waterford "London" desktop includes:

  • 4 x leather coasters (a nice upgrade from the cardboard ones borrowed from the local RSL)
  • 1 x 33cm square metal drink tray with leather insert (doubles as a lapdesk for your notebook)
  • 1 x London Square Decanter (will easy hold a bottle of Aldi whisky)
  • 1 x London Round Decanter (and this for your Jack Daniels)
  • 2 x London Tumblers/DOFs (perfect for bourbon and Coke)
  • 2 x London Hi-Balls (Milo and milk has never looked classier!)

EDIT - Six (6) units in stock at 1.20pm 20Mar16
EDIT - Three (3) units in stock at 5.45pm 24Mar16

EDIT - Additional photos here http://pursuitist.com/waterford-london-desktop-bar-illuminat…

EDIT - further discount hacks:

HT @sp00ker "Stack with 10% off DJs gift cards via entertainment book. You'll need 2 subscriptions though, since each subscription can only buy 5k worth of cards."

HT @neilpatrickharris "Don't forget to get 10% off DJ gift cards using AGL rewards for those without entertainment book."

    Is there a list of "largest discounts" on OzBargain? $11k is pretty large

      Would be trumped by a number of those discounted new car buys that pop up from time-to-time.

      Because it has a boring wooden box (mdf?) they fit in, looks like a genuine Ikea design, with a mirror at the back, and use of the word 'London' a lot adds $19,000 easily.
      I'm passing cause I already have a tool box that looks better to me.

          How do you figure that?

          1 x Waterford Bar = $9,995
          1 x The Balvenie 50yr Scotch Whisky 700mL = $45,000

          = $54,995

          10,000 x $5.50 = $55,000

          The leftover $5.00 will be donated to a drug and alcohol research.

        there are newer techniques that substitute the lead for other less toxic compounds like zinc oxide or potassium oxide.
        for 10 grand they probably should at least come with a liqourland giftcard.

      Pack of bakers yeast: $2.30 at Coles (or $0 if you go prison style and use mouldy bread/your nasty ex girlfriend)
      10l of water: $0.023 (or free from the park/maccas toilets/rain)
      Power to run your still for ~6hrs: $4.06 (or free if you have an extension cord and a neighbour with outdoor powerpoints)

      That should net you around 2 litres of 40% spirit for $0 - $8.20
