        On a follow up after reading OP's full post, the same price is on their eBay store too so add the C5AUS code to make it $483.6925 :)

        • kulprit on 28/04/2017 - 14:00

          Better than the upcoming G5+ with 4gb ram? I can't decide between these 2.

        • alwaysupforabargain on 28/04/2017 - 14:40
          +1

          @kulprit: Just did a quick comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8453&idPhone2=…

          Not sure which one is better. I'm gonna take a guess and say the Z Play has a better camera. From what I've read the Z-Play also has one of the best batteries in a smartphone. Size is also a factor - the Z Play is bigger but it also has 0.3" more screen real estate than the G5+. Interesting that they've gone with an IPS screen on the G5+ while the Z Play has an AMOLED. Besides these, almost everything else seems the same, maybe that extra GB of RAM would help performance wise.

          I'm not sure what the G5+ costs so can't comment on that. If there isn't a big price difference, then I would recommend the Z Play purely for the battery since most reviews say that the phone will last a day even with heavy usage.

          For me, at this price, I'm mostly sold on the Z Play but the big size is slightly off putting so I'm planning to check it out in person before deciding to buy it or not.

        • kulprit on 28/04/2017 - 15:36

          @alwaysupforabargain: G5+ with 4GB ram is $449. Currently only available direct from Motorola so likely to never be on sale. If you got the 16GB/3gb RAM version you can get from other shops for $399 and eventually on sale.

          Thanks for the comparison. Might hold out a couple more days.

        • alwaysupforabargain on 28/04/2017 - 15:43
          +1

          @kulprit: Yeah just saw that the G5+ 16GB/3GB model is now available at Australian stores (JB Hi Fi, Good Guys, etc). I would say it's a good price for that phone too.

          Since both phones have the same chipset and the $399 model has 3GB RAM which is same as the Z Play, they'd perform quite similarly so I would say that you would be fine with either. The main differences would be what I mentioned above in terms of battery and size (I'm actually not sure if the Z Play has a better camera). So you could get the G5+ and save the extra $80-$100.

    This is even worse than the 20% off on ebay…. They have just raised all their prices to RRP before the 'sale'… Most of the things I have been looking at have now increased in price, even after their 20% off from what it was before the sale… Shame shame shame…

    Lots of those phones were already that price. Now they're just saying "Was $*** online". I was looking at those Moto G models for example and they've been at that price or cheaper for weeks but now they're stating the price USED to be $249 but now $199 for example

    • team teri on 28/04/2017 - 10:36
      +3

      I looked at those too. But in the case of the G4 Plus the 'was $349 now $299' does not reflect a 30% discount (it is marked as clearance). One would hope that will still be corrected…

      • grimo82 on 28/04/2017 - 11:24

        Can confirm I paid 299 less 5% via GG eBay for the moto g4 plus weeks ago and that was pretty much the std price everywhere.

      • sarakoth on 28/04/2017 - 13:13

        Yep.. it should be 30% off the $299 price… :(

          Or even 30% off the $349 would be a bargain. Shame it's not. Downvoting the deal now - false advertising.

    • onlyme on 29/04/2017 - 12:31

      That's a great deal! What evidence did you use to price match?

      The GG website shows it being unavailable but it has been advertised at $19.20 until May 1. I couldn't find the advertisement.

  • Wriggle on 28/04/2017 - 14:12

    Am I missing something? I read it as 30 per cent off clearance, yet many of the clearance prices are discounted by a lot less than 30 per cent. Is this not false advertising? Happy to be corrected.

  • Ryballs on 28/04/2017 - 15:38

    '30% Off Clearance' looks like the only part of this sale that might be worthwhile looking at. There was recently a 'Storewide Sale' at my local Good Guys that basically excluded the whole store. It's a real pity because they had some great sales when I used to work there in the mid-2000s. Nowadays they're dodgy as.

      • team teri on 28/04/2017 - 21:18

        You mean 32GB? I wasn't aware they had a 16GB version. How did you arrive at your conclusion? I can't see the specs on the website…

        • Benno123 on 28/04/2017 - 21:30

          Australia has 2 versions, 16gb/3gb RAM, and 32gb/4gb RAM, $399 and $449 respectively. So yeah, this is definitely the 16gb model. Bit of info here: http://ausdroid.net/2017/04/28/moto-g5-plus-australian-revie…

        • KitchenSink on 28/04/2017 - 21:56

          Yeah I know their website didnt show but I did a search on the product/item number
          1031000231 - JBHiFi has the same stock and list the specs for it but for $399.

          Had to double check with Motorola. Considering it just came out, the offical motorola website listed a moto g5 plus for $399 RRP and that shows same specs for the same model as JBHiFi. The 32GB model is $449.

          I could be wrong, but the evidence is clear

    The Fake Guys are refusing to sell the G5 and G5+ for the advertised price, they've put the price back up and refuse to honour the 15% off deal when it clearly applies.

    This is utter BS and I'm going to escalate this to the ACCC if they don't honour the advertised price. They don't have a leg to stand on, they dropped the prices on eBay and their website when the sale started and pulled out now because they realised they could get more for them.

    Damn I can't change my positive vote to a negative.

      I noticed that as well. The online price has changed, so I just rang them. They say they have 15% off mobiles today so the price is about $340
