Hi all, last day for "PLAYER" 20% off. This is an OK deal for most of you I would presume. At first, the above RRP $1249 looks like an annoying price-jacked price during an eBay deal (RRP $1129). At 20% off this is an OK price of $999.20, a $130 saving on RRP.
However this is Aussie stock, not a grey import, and for some of you (and me) the GST can be claimed and only the exGST price needs to be paid. The great thing about this deal is that the Tax Invoice lists the price as $1249 (not $999.20) and the GST on $1249 is $113.55 (rather than $90.84 GST on $999.20). That means if you can claim the GST back, the real cost to you (and me) is $999.20 - $113.55 = $885.65 ex GST
That's cheaper than the entry level 64GB iPad Pro 10.5" ($979 inc GST, $890 ex GST) which makes it a great deal in my book. It's also cheaper than any grey imports I could find, even when including the 20% off.
Seems like a no-brainer if you're already interested in getting the new 10.5" Ipad Pro and can go the ExGST route. Enjoy!
FWIW, I also used cashrewards for the order (makes it $869.42), and for ordering the Apple pencil (official Apple store $145 - 1.5%CR - $13.18 GST = $129.64). That makes the total under $1000 for both the 256GB iPad Pro 10.5" and the Apple Pencil. Win!
Good find. No 4G models unfortunately
