Dick Smith currently has white 4GB Sandisk Cruzers for a range of prices. You get to pick your own by taking the product from the appropriate level on the shelf. The prices range from $9.99-$14.98.

I've asked around and nobody knows why they have this price range, peaking at $14.98, or even why they price their products with a 98c roundoff. Some have suggested it is to have enough money left over to buy a fishing squid lure, found here (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40891). Looking at this store's display, which lists the cheaper ones at the top of the shelf, I suspect the reason behind the price range is because the taller you are the more of a discount you are entitled to. If you can't reach the top shelf, you may be able to get someone taller than you to collect the product for you, though I'm not sure whether this is classed as a hack, or if it is frowned upon here at OzBargain.

Keep in mind, this is not a true pick your price, whereby you arrive at the counter with the Sandisk Cruzer in hand and suggest a price you'd like to pay, with wild stares from the cute asian Dick Smith register girl. If that was the case, the indie developers behind the Cruzer would probably not receive much sympathy, being an $8.9 billion company with 20 manufacturing facilities and offices around the world. It is not a single skinny American white guy in his basement with a flair for C++.

You may be able to price match at Officeworks for an additional 5% off, though I believe the Officeworks employees have been instructed to first measure how tall you are to figure out which price you would be able to get from Dick Smith.

Good luck all!

    Could this be the most popular non-bargain ever?

    • Xanthorrhoea semipl… on 14/03/2011 - 12:55

      I think so.

      PS: We really should have a highscore ranking system for the best deals and non-deals ever posted. :P

    I had to re-read the original description twice, to check whether or not it is funny.

    It isn't.
