        I think he means no GoPro at a price worth buying.

        • there is an aus stock hero 5 black which would come down to about $455 i think. that seems like an ok deal compared to what they are in stores.. but im not super on top of the go pro prices.

        • @bumheadboi:

          I wouldn't buy at this price, they're regularly $438.20 in other 20% off sales for stores that are more trustworthy and easier to chase for warranty. (E.g. The Good Guys)

        • @bumheadboi:
          Yeah, but my TRS cutover is the 23rd of Jan.
          Has anyone tried to get JB to match ebay store prices before?

          Edit: thanks @bumheadboi for above comment. I'll wait a bit more then..

        • @doweyy: thanks for the tip. im looking at getting one but dont know if i requre suck a schmico one anyway.. well see

        • @bumheadboi:

          Get a 4 Silver off any Gumtree seller with a bit of negotiation and you'll save heaps, they're not too much different to the 5 except for 4K capabilities and a slightly lower MP. Would save you about $150 and you would get the same thing pretty much in a case rather than without one.

        • @doweyy: I've been trying to sell mine and so far offered $250 and $185… Lol

        • @DesolateApophic:

          Hang in there man, when I sold my 3+ I had to wait quite a while until a reasonable offer came from a French backpacker, you'll be able to sell it eventually!

        • @doweyy: I think 375 is reasonable. I'm not really sure though. I looked at the 5 black and the most attractive thing about it is the fact that it's waterproof without the housing.

      • My bad. Yes gopro..

  • Haha damn, no TGG this time…..

      Pretty sure this site has been infiltrated by marketing types who have ramped up their strategies aggressively in the last year or more. Now you have to wade through a sea of non-bargains or unremarkable minimal savings to get to the good stuff and then hope it doesn't get the Ozbargain effect before you can get in on it. I could be wrong, but that's the feeling I've gotten a little while ago and haven't been able to shake it. I'm still relatively addicted though so here I am.

      • +2

        No need for infiltration when OzBargain openly welcomes stores.

        • I have no problem with Ozbargain partnering with retailers to give us exclusive deals or other promos but it's what I suspect are dummy accounts that upvote these ebay sales and post 'deals' that bother me.

        • @hetzjagd:

          but it's what I suspect are dummy accounts that upvote these ebay sales and post 'deals' that bother me.

          That's exactly what sockpuppeting is dude, it's against the rules.
          If you suspect it, use Talk with a moderator forum to report your suspicions and get them kicked off the site (and the offending accounts)!

          Click the "Votes" tab on this deal and you can see which accounts have been giving the positive (and negative) votes.
          If you know who these dummy accounts are, then report them!

        • @hetzjagd: It would be interesting to see who you suspect is doing that.

        • @hetzjagd:

          what I suspect are dummy accounts

          Our system checks accounts plus we manually investigate. If you do suspect sockpuppeting, please use the report link.

          In November, we removed 45 deals so it's something that takes up most of the moderation time and that we take seriously.

          Ozbargain partnering with retailers

          OzBargain is 100% independent. No stores, marketers etc pay money to post/comment/vote whatever on here.

        • +1

          @hetzjagd: Looking at the first 50 votes on this deal they are mostly from users who have posted themselves, so is they're sockpuppeting then just about every OzB user is sockpuppeting. To fake 370 dummy accounts you could need massive amounts of different VPNs and IPs and would be very costly.

        • edit - TheClipit's latest comment that appeared while I was typing my rant below appears to address my paranoia. If they truly are legit accounts they are legit, but geeze I do not get people. I thought the average ozbargainer was meant to be deal/money savvy. /edit

          I seem to have stirred up a bit more attention with this one then I anticipated. Sorry guys, I do not have hard evidence just loose speculation based on the feeling I get from casual observation and use of the site in the last year or two. To clarify and reiterate though I don't think retailers are in bed with you guys or that you are being paid off, I believe there are regular user accounts controlled by marketing types upvoting crappy non-deals. These marketing types aren't actual 'dummies' either, they know if they create an account and just go straight to work then they will be flagged then caught. They actively participate in the community (posting comments here and there) so as to keep touch with what's going on here and to appear legitamite if investigated but ultimately they are here to promote their stuff and manipulate it to the front page.

          These ebay posts do seem to have a weird air about them that other bargain posts don't.

          Did 300+ people really get so excited about yet another 20% ebay sale with the inflated prices from the usual suspects that they voted in advance of buying anything?

          It seems odd given that the running sentiment in the comments is that there aren't many, if any, deals (save for the couple of things that have filtered through to the front page in their own deal posts) and that the folks who have bought something are mostly staying silent. That is assuming that in most cases a postive vote equals a purchase made - that's how I Ozbargain anyway.

          @hetzjagd:

          Currently there are over 1,300 registered users online right now, this deal has been up for 5 hours so less then a of registered users who this post voted.

          That is assuming that in most cases a postive vote equals a purchase made

          Not always, if I saw a deal for something I own thats cheap, ill vote but I wont buy it as I already own it.

        • @hetzjagd:

          That is assuming that in most cases a postive vote equals a purchase made - that's how I Ozbargain anyway.

          A more accurate statistic rather than votes is "clicks" next to www.ebay.com.au, that's indicative of how many people checked out the deal. It would count non-registered users as well.

          This is like youtube views, likes and dislikes, except the dislikes in ozbargain is really for notifying something drastically wrong. However a lot of ozbargain members will misuse the negative vote on OzBargain as a dislike button.. which is not what it's for.

        I guess it happens to every successful platform, reddit is much worse these days with obvious bot brigades voting up particular posts with product placements in the pictures etc.

        The worst part I think about ozbargain is how a particular dodgy scam chinese technology site is allowed to post here when they have probably defrauded about 10-20% of their customers if not more and would be shut down immediately by the ACCC if they operated here. Lies, false tracking numbers, months of delays before they post, and then only offering a partial refund for faulty goods?

        The sad thing is I don't even need to say their name and everyone will know exactly who I mean. I guess the site gets paid quite a bit to allow them here though, so in the end I suppose I'd do the same if I owned the site.

        • I guess the site gets paid quite a bit to allow them here though, so in the end I suppose I'd do the same if I owned the site.

          OzBargain isn't paid directly by the stores.. they get paid via ads only.

          I'm sick of people accusing others for gains. When people share, you guys question why they shared and what sort of gains they get. If they have anything to gain or related to the store in their post, the associated tag has to be ticked.
          Come on guys, this is OzBargain, not Harvey Norman and a dirty salesman..
          Stop accusing others, it's complete bullcrap especially when those who accuse don't even contribute a tiny bit to the site, except point fingers and run for pitchforks.

          Right well your comment seemed more generic than just focusing on eBay deals in particular. See your earlier quote:

          True bargains are not happening anymore

          Many of us who actively participate actually take offense to that, because day-in day-out, many deals are posted, many make front page, many people take advantage of said posts. To say there's no true bargains around here makes me wonder why you're actually here

          I doubt that. One Rep stated that they got the full amount. I asked it at Good Guys click and collect as well. Person also confirmed that they received full amount of the item. If one rep says ebay bears and other says they have to bear partially, who will we trust?

          The Good Guys click and collect are store-people. They won't know the amount that's been negotiated between them and the ebay representative that set up their store for them. Never trust middlemen.

          I've read somewhere (on ozbargain) that the ebay site-wide codes doesn't cause any increase in fees for the sellers, but the 20% store-specific ones (like the current ones) will. The source was from someone who worked on an ebay store and was approached by ebay to participate in the 20% off sales. I can't seem to find the comment, will post when I have located it.

          And this makes sense as well.. as seen with Kogan's dirty tactics

        • @cwongtech:

          The source was from someone who worked on an ebay store and was approached by ebay to participate in the 20% off sales.

          What is the authenticity of that person stating they bear some cost and the Good guys store people. It is assumption as well. I also cannot locate that comment here from a store rep who claimed they get full amount.

          They won't know the amount that's been negotiated between them and the ebay representative that set up their store for them.

          You are assuming here as well. Big stores wont have a person and people internally might know. How come many stores including Good guys have same price as that in their website including sale items. Price increase is only with few stores.
          It can't be that few stores are paying % to eBay and few not.

        • @Gaggy:

          What is the authenticity of that person stating they bear some cost

          As in they have been in the industry of selling on ebay.

          I also cannot locate that comment here from a store rep who claimed they get full amount.

          I will try find it for you!

          You are assuming here as well.

          True, but the dude at a good guys counter doing the click&collect orders won't have been the one negotiating with ebay. In a way it's really good that way they don't care at all about promotions, and will do as their system (intended or not) has instructed them.

        • @cwongtech:

          but the dude at a good guys counter doing the click&collect orders won't have been the one negotiating with ebay.

          Does not mean only the negotiator will have the info. That 'Dude' had that info as they were getting many enquiries from store shoppers about matching ebay prices and were made clear that eBay bears that cost and they cannot match it in stores. They were encouraging users to buy from ebay if they can get it cheaper. That is also the reason many stores don't change their prices and match it as per their store prices. Having said that, I cannot confirm this.

          When Kogan was fined fur bumping the prices, they never said that they bear the ebay discount fee….

          Lets forget about it as there is no point on discussing about knowledge of someone we don't know. but same for the person who told on OZB here might not be telling truth as I have seen comment of another rep here who took part in eBay sales and explained they were getting full amount.
          So you are also trying to prove a point which has no credibility either like mine.

        • @Gaggy:
          I found it! Hope you find it useful
          Comment here

          This will be a fully eBay funded one, we have a large eBay store and haven't been contacted about this one. We normally don't bother participating in a lot of the promo's as we don't have enough margin in our products and we don't like hiking the pricing to compensate. - First comment by Calmago

          This is the gold! Have a read

          It is either fully funded by the seller or split 50/50. The big one in June was split 50/50, but the last couple we fully funded. When it's a fully funded 20% off discount, there is no attractions for us to participate.
          However with the big businesses (Kogan, target, big lee ect. ect.), I'd be damn sure they have there own separate deals. - Calmago

        • @cwongtech:

          I'd be damn sure they have there own separate deals.

          Again another assumption as I said earlier, I can point few posts saying something else and there is no proof of anything. The user is rep of a single computer retail shop having ebay store which cant match size of TGG or Binglee. Your links are all from same user. If you search, there will be a post from a Rep stating eBay bear the cost and the facts I gave in my previous replies (TGG store person and also fine on Kogan) which I dont know you read.

          Thus no point going to decision that stores bear the cost of the discounts for ebay sales. Whoever bears to cost, there is no point in so called Sales then, isn't it, if the prices are same compared to before sale or a little cheap.

        • @Gaggy:

          Your links are all from same user.

          Yes, but I'd trust someone who dealt with ebay directly or claims to, rather than a retail assistant like the good guys click and collect person.. I'm a retail assistant myself, and the promotions for the store I work at is not negotiated by me nor do I have a part in it, or am told who bears the cost of a promotion, although it's almost entirely the store does.

          However most price jacking occurs during the 20% store-specific ebay sales, not during the sitewide sales.

          Thus no point going to decision that stores bear the cost of the discounts for ebay sales… if the prices are same compared to before sale

          Agreed. Let's just catch the dirty pricks like Kogan and report to ACCC.

        • @cwongtech:

          Yes, but I'd trust someone who dealt with ebay directly or claims to, rather than a retail assistant like the good guys click and collect person.

          That is your perception. I would trust a person whom I am speaking physically to and not a person who is speaking online. person in store is a store rep and knew what he was talking about and will knows more than you and I about store's dealing.
          The person you linked is representing the store and might have been an employee as well not negotiating with ebay. It is a small store with 1 physical store.

          For stores who are jacking prices on sale are scumbags. Why call it a sale then??

          Glad graysonline are one of the stores not jacking prices.
