    I just got up and remembered I had to check the price of an ups battery at Jaycar website…

    Winning!

        Purchase the same stuff with your Amex, and then return the new stuff with the old receipt.

        • Sweetnsour on 17/10/2018 - 08:01

          I would do it the other way around. Refund first and then purchase again with Amex maybe even the day after. (Assuming unopened)

            @Sweetnsour: I was assuming by the ops despondent tone that the items had been used.

          • nmehta on 24/10/2018 - 12:04

            @Sweetnsour: Wouldn't the refund trigger for the credit not to apply as per the offer terms "- Credit may be reversed if your qualifying purchase is refunded or cancelled."

      This is the challenge, as everything in jaycar is 2x to 3x the price of everything on Ali.

    Haven't been to jaycar for long not sure what to buy

  • lealvinav on 17/10/2018 - 07:25

    Can this be stacked? Ie buy $100 of stuff and use 2 cards to get $40 off?

    • Butterfly Gocha on 17/10/2018 - 07:31
      +1

      You may be able to split the transaction into 2x $50 lots but check first

    • JIMB0 on 17/10/2018 - 09:40

      It says "spend $50 in one or more transactions", so you'd probably get one $40 credit for spending $100 in one go just like the BP deal.

    • Leonidas on 21/10/2018 - 18:19

      Spent a little over $100 and got $40 back in one transaction at jaycar

      Thank you so much for mentioning this as I had not seen that thread before. I didn't realise how shady Jaycar was until seeing that video and reading more about what happened. Will never buy from Jaycar again.

      • [Deactivated] on 17/10/2018 - 11:21

        Ditto, hadn't heard about this. Used to spend thousands with Jaycar or their parent electronics parts company each year in the past; this business is closed now, however wish it was still running so I could spend elsewhere. Aztronics in Adelaide are pretty damn good, BTW. :)

    • m k d on 17/10/2018 - 08:51

      Thanks, blatantly ripping off other people's ideas is not cool. Didn't know there was a boycott against them. I guess I will make an exception and buy from them only when there are special offers, like this one. And I will make sure everyone I know buys a freetronics kit (if they ever need one).

    • melbourne guy on 17/10/2018 - 09:12

      Thanks for highlighting. This type of corporate greed is unacceptable. Along with the fact I would only go to Jaycar if I needed something ASAP because of their pricing (can't wait for shipping), I've revoked my upvote.

  • clx on 17/10/2018 - 07:54

    How come Commbank amex has inferior terms? Are they scrapping AMEX from their repertoire?

    • ash2000 on 17/10/2018 - 07:58

      Combank are discontinuing Amex from next month hence the need to buy before the end of this month!

      The other 'big 4 banks' have already discontinued Amex.

      Maybe it's just coincidence?

      Have Jaycar responded to the accusations?

      • kapone on 17/10/2018 - 16:19

        No coincidence, they even went as far as to copy the content and images out of his manual, which was most definitely his IP.

        • jv on 17/10/2018 - 16:26

    • johnno07 on 17/10/2018 - 10:03

      Surely this wasn't Jaycar, but rather the Chinese manufacturer (that made this bloke's kit) re-selling the design.

      • jv on 17/10/2018 - 12:09

        Listen to the the end of the youtube video about what Jaycar asked this guy for…

      • neonlight on 17/10/2018 - 14:06

        If the original person who got these made in China. It's blatant obvious the factory who made the kit started making deals with Jaycar themselves to sell again your ideas. Jaycar probably don't know abut it thinking it's a new product that they can sell

      • pilotyuan on 17/10/2018 - 15:58

        But that is Jaycar's copycat, they own the brand of Duinotech themselves.
        Besides, Jaycar sell freetronics as well so they definitely know this problem already.

      Arduino is not freetronic's original design…They just put their own stickers onin house manufactured board.They are overpriced and cheaper to buy from ebay.

        It's not about the design of the components.

        It's about copyright. Copying the box and mould and word for word copying the manual and pictures.

      Boycotting should post to ozBoycott, ozbargain is for getting a good deal, not about boycott

    • rhino015 on 18/10/2018 - 16:36

      Problem is we have no other aussie companies that fill that same need. If they go broke then we just have nowhere to go on a saturday to pick up bits for our projects. That's a huge loss

  • boomramada on 17/10/2018 - 09:07

    Last I checked, I thought Ozb hates Jaycar just as cage eggs.

    Everything Jaycar sells, eBay/Ali sells cheaper.

    And usually waaaaaaay cheaper.

    • CoreJava on 17/10/2018 - 12:59

      It is the same for many other products, but it is the customer service which add the value

  • R1ngSt1nger on 17/10/2018 - 09:48

    Neg'ing due to Jaycar being an unethical company. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

  • Sergeant Salami on 17/10/2018 - 09:52

    Jaycar is only good for emergency components otherwise eBay is cheaper and doesn't come with the huge mark up.

  • Deals4all on 17/10/2018 - 09:55
    +1

    I understand the neg'ing happening on the deal and totally support the boycott. But this deal was posted by a user like U and I and not an associated employee. He/she may not have known the history of the issue in question. If I look at the bargain, its great and would want to give a thumbs up for OPs effort for finding and posting the deal but on the other hand i would refrain due to the idea stealing by Jaycar and thus would stay neutral. We can educate fellow OZBgnrs by posting comments and not by punishing the OP. Just a thought

    • R1ngSt1nger on 17/10/2018 - 10:10
      +6

      But how does it punish the OP? All it does is hide the post from the main page, I don't believe OzBargain 'punishes' him/her as such?

      The only thing I could find about negative votes is that for a company rep it limits their ability to post more "bargains" in short succession.
      In this case, the OP isn't a rep, so there shouldn't be any repercussions.

      Negative Vote

      Purpose:

      To let others know about issues with the deal, merchant or product.

      Result of negative vote(s):

      If there are more negative votes than positive, the deal is hidden on new deals page & categories page for visitors and users with default >settings.
      All comments by the user who cast the negative vote are highlighted with a negative vote symbol.
      If the negative votes are cast against a deal posted by a rep, this will increase the time period between their next subsequent post.

    • jv on 17/10/2018 - 12:14

      by punishing the OP

      LOL.

    I was going to take this offer up, hadn't heard anything about the above ripoff, watched video, now not shopping at Jaycar.

  • dlovep on 17/10/2018 - 10:22

    Look at the bright side, do not have to Neg the post, just take the offer and do not make any purchase. Which in return to "zero-out" their marketing effort.

    Didn't know about the issue with Jaycar above. But even then not sure I'd buy anything from them. Unless it's a lucky spot of a clearance item most of their stuff is epically overpriced compared and the same stuff from eBay/AliEx, and if you want trustworthy sources places like RS Aus are cheaper with free delivery if you can find a listing you don't need to buy 1000 of:P

  • hashtagbargain on 17/10/2018 - 11:03

    If you are considering buying from JayCar, buy from eBay instead. This is a company that steals IP from designers.

    After the demise of Dick Smith we need Jaycar to survive. As simple as that.

    Are they expensive, yes. Can you get them cheaper from China, yes. Do we need a brick and mortar components shop for emergencies, hell yes!

    Hurts me to see the last remaining electronics parts store chain is doing this. I'm not a big DIY electronics type, but need parts time to time and appreciate very much that Jaycar exists - don't mind paying extra even just to help keep the store open - and I (maybe even most of us?) want to like them and want to keep them alive, but this behavior is making it very hard.

    • rhino015 on 18/10/2018 - 16:41
      +2

      Agreed. And I do understand wanting to punish them, but when they go bankrupt (which might happen even without a boycott, judging by the downfall of many aussie retailers before them) we'll have no place to go to for parts on a saturday to finish our project. That's a huge loss for us. To the point where I'd probably rather have them around being evil and support them lol. At least until a competitor arises. And that competitor must be Aussie as well.

  • THICKnSLOW on 17/10/2018 - 15:14

    Thanks for the link, good timing as I need to pop into one to buy some parts.

    Gotta love bricks and mortar companies when you're needing something TODAY and not wait 30 days shipping from China

  • neonlight on 19/10/2018 - 17:01

    • eug on 23/10/2018 - 21:17

      They discontinued it not long after the debacle.

      It's amusing that people are boycotting Jaycar because of IP infringement… and suggesting buying from AliExpress and eBay instead. ;)

      • THICKnSLOW on 05/11/2018 - 20:57
