      and can u simply print out invoices/receipts and ask any retailer to match it?
      - felto82 on 23/07/2010 - 07:48
        
        @CVonC: yes I too would like to know how exactly you go about matching this price at another store? do you just simply take the receipt in and ask? what is the process?
    - felto82 on 23/07/2010 - 17:25
      
      please please please post that receipt up!

Got a price from ShopRite for N61JQ-JX002V ex display http://www.shoprite.com.au and $920.00 this morning. picked it up they told me sold out.
westozDave on 27/07/2010 - 01:51

Cheers Mzl!! Got the same deal at Osbourne Park JBHifi thanks to you.
They had it on display for $1647. First salesman didn't believe it was on sale for $1497,
http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/asu…
I didn't want to argue with him, so wasted a bit of time checking out the Asus N61Jq. Which is the
advertised N61Jv i7-720 with ATI 5730.

Second salesman came to me and he was a lot less intense and more relaxed. So I hit him up with a
pricematch. Showed him a printout of your receipt and got it for $1260. He had to get the manager to
authorise it, as that price is below their cost price. Brand new in the box i7-720 with ATI 5730.
I was looking at the Asus G73 gaming laptop but this is half the price for similar specs.

Thanks again Mzl
- MzL on 27/07/2010 - 02:55
  
  hahaha np, just sharing the savings =D
  
  but yeah a friend told me the cost price was $1450 and he didnt believe me that i got it for cheaper lol
westozDave on 05/08/2010 - 07:59
The new price for the same notebook, http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/asu… is $1,693.00.

Wow I didn't expect my new joy to appreciate so quickly. =)

Also I noticed on a different Asus notebook JBHifiOnline have on sale, http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/asu…, they had this to say.

BluBoy on 13/08/2010 - 20:04

I know this is a bit of a late bump… But maybe there are other late comers like myself…

After approaching a few places to price match, no one was willing or able to match this deal. Eventually I ended up in Clive Anthony, who were able to beat the price!
I picked up the N61JQ-JV002 (i7-720, 4Gb, 640, ATI5730. DVDRW, WiFi N etc) for $1199.
Yes, it is a 640Gb HDD and under $1200! Very happy with the results!

Also, While I was there, I picked up a BluRay player, with USB input supporting DIVX and MKV for $99 which I was stoked with.
vongz on 14/08/2010 - 00:12

Hey BluBoy, could u plz upload an invoice or receipt? that would be awesome. i cant get anyone to price match it also.
thx mate
MzL on 14/08/2010 - 03:19
