Masters are offering the extra 10% off again on Monday and Tuesday

17-18 of October

Whether you're still waiting for prices to go down this 10% could just help if there's something you need now.

If you haven't caught on yet, Masters seem to be dropping their price every Thursday of the week, it may not be all products, but
usually you will see a further permanent discount of 5% to 10% on top of what they have already done.

So if this 10% is still not enough, keep an eye on the weekly markdowns.

NOTE: The advertisement claims a 10% extra discount on the Total Purchase Price, but it does not do that, it discounts off the
discounted purchase price, so you must first work out the percentage it already has been discounted to, then you take 10% off that calculation,
this is equating to only 6% to 7% extra of the total purchase price, not 10% Falsely advertised maybe, see if you manage to get a full 10% off the
Total purchase price as correctly advertised.

This is what I've seen so far discount wise (then add 10% extra off)

Paint 30%
Tiles 50%
Kitchen Cabinet 40%
Plants 20%
Pots 30%
Outdoor Landscape stuff 30%
Outdoor Furniture 30%
Tiles 50%
Tile Accessories 40%
Garage 30%
Cement 25%
PermaWood 50%
Screen Fencing 30%
Building Materials 50%
Door Locks/handles 40%
Outdoor Lighting 30%
Indoor Lighting 40%
Light Bulbs 40%
Doors 30%
Canopies 50%
Blinds 50%
Shed 20%
Tools 25%
Hot Water Tanks 50%
Ladders 25%
Irrigation 40%
Electrical 50%
Mowers 25%
Fans 25%

There's more but you'll have to go and see.

      Masters - Old Price Tag Showing $79 behind New $149 Tag

      Disgruntled shopper Stefan complained that the set of kitchen taps he bought was advertised as “40 per cent off the lowest ticketed price”, with a $149 price tag falling away to reveal what appeared to be an original price of $79. After raising the issue, he said, staff refused to honour the lower price.
      “This is how Masters are conducting their sale, hiking up the price and then taking 40 per cent off … They’re still ripping people off,” he wrote on Masters’ Facebook page.
      “$149 price at the front and $79 price at the back. Despite their sale tickets saying 40 per cent off lowest ticketed price, they refused service. I wonder how Consumer Affairs Victoria and ACCC Consumer Rights would feel about this.”
      Another Facebook user pointed out that the old price appeared to be from 2013, while Masters’ social media representative promised to “investigate”.

        Since you shouted this out

        more like 200% increase in prices

        100% increase means doubled.
        200% increase means increased 3 times .

        $79 -> $149 is 100% (or actually 88.61%)

      • Jupitarian on 17/10/2016 - 10:59

        I tend to agree as I purchased a few decent cordless garden and power tools when they had promotional sales on in the past for very reasonable prices thanks to OZBargain and Top Bargains posts saving a lot of money.

        Having said though, there is no question that they have jacked up prices in items during these sales.
        And these extra discounts are applied in an alchemist fashion. For example, is the additional 10% discount applied on the original listed price or after the initial discount is taken into consideration.

        Last week I purchased two items and in both cases the extra 10% discount was applied after the initial discount was taken into consideration making the actual additional discount more like 2% or 3%.

  • kaboomxyu on 16/10/2016 - 19:20

    I'm actually going to be sad when Masters closes. Currently playing the game where you hold out as long as you can to get the biggest discount before the item you want sells out. The items I want are bigger ticket items and already a bargain, but they also move slowly so carry less stock. I'm either going to be REALLY happy or really ticked off. Good times.

    • Steptoe on 16/10/2016 - 20:17

      I purchased my first item today. Went in on the way home and they'd sold 2 of the 3 cement mixers i've been eyeing off. DAMN! I've been to 4 other stores recently and all of them were sold out weeks ago. Was hoping to make it to 40% + 10% off but still satisfied with 25% + 10%. Was really surprised how much stock was sold over the past weekend.

      I asked the staff if they had been transferring stock to other stores due to the empty shelves. They said they were just really busy on the weekend to the point where you couldn't get a park.

    • DJS on 16/10/2016 - 19:32

      I'd a agree with you here we are going to start seeing some real discounts happen around then, as it's gets nearer to the closing date which I think was the 11th of December. There are just some things are really going out of stock that if wanted/needed it you would need to get it now. I reckon by the end they'll be giving away stuff, there is just so much stock, the discounts should have been much more than what they are today as they just wont get rid of it.

  • donga100 on 16/10/2016 - 19:37

    Went to Masters today to see if they had any good deals on air conditioners. Absolute waste of time. Pretty much every item in the store could be had cheaper elsewhere even after the discount.

    • berger on 16/10/2016 - 20:48

      I've been watching air con prices and they have been good.. you would be lucky to find stock left anyways

      • donga100 on 16/10/2016 - 21:09
        +6

        You're right, no stock except for portable air conditioners. 20% off the prices that were still on the wall still weren't that great. I ended up doing a pricebeat at Bunnings for far cheaper.

        • berger on 17/10/2016 - 09:01

          When the temp heats up, the portable air cons will be very well priced.

      • donga100 on 17/10/2016 - 21:28

        Which air conditioners were you watching? How good were the prices?

        • berger on 17/10/2016 - 22:29

          I was after Samsung split system air con, just the smaller 2.5 for another bedroom, bought 3 from masters 3 years ago when the local store opened(had a 3 item for 20% discount coupon on opening day). Last Sunday when they had an extra 10% discount prices were around $150 cheaper than anywhere, now they would be nearly 200 bucks, but sold out in all eastern Melb suburbs and had to buy a Fujitsu from Good Guys, not complaining, I waited and missed out at masters. Stores had stock but I took a chance.

          They break the battery down in a flashy grafic
          Looks like about 24-30 AA batteries running the 56v cartridge battery
          This could be the solution to ozbargainers with too many enenloops
          Seriously, if you can dismantle the battery to swap out
          Maybe someone who's bought one can see if it's possible?

          @Beach Bum: they are not AA's. They are 18650 Lithium Ions like pretty much every other cordless tool. I don't know about Ego batteries but many other tools (AEG, Makita) have protection circuits in them that stop you replacing the cells too. Decent quality 18650's are not cheap either.

      I tried to get a price check on a heater which had no price tag on it. The item didn't scan on their system and the staff were saying the "worst thing management did was to take the prices off the website" lol.

      Masters are now officially a joke! Woolies basically putting it on a collision course before closure. Waiting for the real liquidation sale. Can't be too far away - apparently there is still stock on ships that hasn't arrived yet lol. They are going to really start the proper liquidation sale soon.

          Caring about what?

          Retailers in Australia can price pretty much how they like.

          We don't live in a Communist country, so the Government doesn't control the prices of goods and services. As a general rule, they let the market decide.

          So, if you don't want an extra 10% off the prices (this deal), or if you think that the prices are too high… then don't purchase.

  • AussieOz on 17/10/2016 - 00:16
    +4

    I feel I was fooled by Master's tactic, not sure if others have similar experience…

    I bought a couple of items over the last two weeks while they were on 20% and 30% off, the reason I bought them was that there were only one or two items left on the shelves. One of the items I bought, I noted one of the Masters staff took the last one from the shelves for himself(I thought)…I felt at the time I made a right decision for that impulsive purchase, there would be none left for the next wave of discounts in my local Masters.

    How wrong am I…I went to Masters today and noted there were plenty of them on the shelves and they could last until December.

    waste petrol no more!! I stop buying from Masters for now unless there is something expensive I really need to use it straight away, I'll check that out then. Otherwise, Masters I'll see you again in late November and good luck to your closing down sale!

      Agree, they do no research, then bitch like hell when they dont get a bargain. Plus they want deals on the more popular and expensive items like air conditioners etc. When these are sold as some indicate, then there are no more in stock, so they bitch that Masters don't have stock.

      Liquidation is just that, you get rid of all stock. Once gone it's gone. They may still have stock in warehouses/on the water etc, but that's it.

      Panasonic Miele Samsung etc, aren't going to supply them more except at normal wholesale prices, the aim of liquidation isnt to keep selling new stock, its to get rid of old stock.

      If it doesnt sell, they will keep discounting, but like all bargains its going to be finite stock levels. Wait until it gets into real bargain territory and probably, if its a desireable product, it will be sold before you get there.

        That's right, yet these people abuse the negative vote system and complain because a $3 item is too dear.

        Buy a hot water service now, absolute bargains, in fact, the Rinnai Instant heat units could be bought from masters, flipped on eBay and min $200 be made.

        If you know the pricing, there are bargains…

          Etc meaning stuff they have bought or made commitments to buy

  • videoman on 17/10/2016 - 07:30
    +2

    Just remember it will be 10% off the already discounted price. So if a $100 item is currently 50% off ($50) an extra 10% off the total purchase is on the $50 ($5) not 10% of $100. Just so there are no nasty surprises at the checkout.

    (thanks thebargainhunter for the explanation in the last deal).

        Arrgh such a fail on my part. I was in a rush and had to buy quick- too late now.

        Just learned that masters no longer accept gift cards

    Just a tip for my fellow ozbargainers, check the ticket price vs the price at the check out. I bought a ego hedge trimmer that had a ticket price on the shelves as $349 but the checkout showed $369 - a staff member then went to the aisle and replaced the tag to the higher price (I did get the discount applied to the lower ticket price). I felt bad for the people who bought the trimmer after me at the jacked up price.

    So has anybody purchased anything today?

    Just confirming that the 10% discount is in effect?
