Update 11/12: Stock of the black headphones is back again, and price is the same :)

Union Shopper partnership seems to be excluded unfortunately.

Greetings everyone, I just found this on TGG commercial website, I know it's niche and targeted to TGG Commercial users but it is too damn good to not post! This is a ridiculous price for a newly released product..

This is targeted at TGG Commercial users, from what I can tell, there are many different avenues to which you can get a login. For example, Union Shopper, Senior Shopper, Professionals Australia and many other shopper programs provide access to this website. So if you're part of those programs and haven't signed up yet, check out if you can get access!

I'm posting this to raise awareness, and maybe if anyone wants to help another Ozb'er out, to order for them if they feel generous :)

Including TRS, this is $246.60 ($300 min spend required for TRS), insanity. Just picked up my pair :)

Proof of Price

As always, enjoy :)

    How to get a commercial account?

      Same question

      • CyberMurning on 28/10/2018 - 12:27

        That is the 1 million dollars question

        • edfoo on 28/10/2018 - 12:37

          Do you mean 274 dollars question?

            @edfoo: Well, technically it wouldn't be the $274, but the $72 question.

            The '1 million dollar question' is a reference to game shows, where if you provide the correct answer to the question, you gain 1 million dollars. There is no spending element in these shows.

            For this deal, we don't gain $274. Instead, we would gain however much we save.

            $346 (Lowest price of the 1000XM3 in other deals) - $274 (Price for 1000XM3 in this deal) = $72

            That's just my humble opinion, of course ;)

        • mit on 28/10/2018 - 13:36
          +1

          Same. They will never die. I'm thinking of getting these just for travel. The pm3s are not so portable.

          • Julius on 28/10/2018 - 16:47

            @mit: I think they can be classified as portable. Slightly less portable than BOSE or Sony NC. If you want a significant jump in portability, it would be a HD238i or a Koss PortaPro.

            • mit on 28/10/2018 - 17:18

              @Julius: The the PM3s are portable but the Sony's fold which almost halves the size when you don't need it. For travelling, it's just the NC that I'm going to have a go with. I've held out this long. The price is too good.

              • Julius on 28/10/2018 - 17:21

                @mit: Oh I see. I always carry my backpack when I bring my portable cans. So storing the OPPOs in their hard case isn't much of an issue. I only use my QCs when flying or on long transits.

    • nubzy on 28/10/2018 - 17:58

      You can sell the XM2 for $280-$300 quite easily, check eBay you will see people are still happy to pay that. Not everyone is an OzBargainer/aware of how low Sony headphones can go.

      • vrsac on 11/12/2018 - 16:25

        Yes, I did just that. You can expect up to $280 for 1000xm2.

        However, having used 1000xm3 for about two weeks, the difference is incremental and not a huge leap like Sony would like us to believe (4x more processing power in Noise cancelling processor).

  • UnderWaterLlama on 28/10/2018 - 11:45
    +5

    I don't think TRS is claimable in this case? Since they require the goods to have a minimum of $300 and this is sold at $274.

    • doweyy on 28/10/2018 - 11:48
      +5

      Ahh yeah, I got 2 pairs, I'll put the $300 requirement in thanks!

    • TheRealCher on 28/10/2018 - 13:57

      Also possible to buy something extra to take you over the 300 mark. Cords, battery pack etc.

    • MikeWhitneysHair on 29/10/2018 - 09:05

      You're correct if you only buy the headphones alone. It's claimable if you buy more than $300 from the same retailer for any amount of items (must share the same ABN). Doesn't have to be the same transaction either IIRC.

      • ak47wong on 29/10/2018 - 10:18
        +1

        That’s right, they don’t need to be in the same transaction:

        if you bought items from one business, even on separate invoices, that together total AUD 300, these items could be eligible for a tax refund under the TRS

          Question:

          So I bought one through my TGG Commerical account and it says the customer is Member Benefits Australia (VIC) even though the "delivery customer" is me.

          I then went and bought from the same store (same ABN) another product on a separate date (ie separate invoice too) to bring the total over $300 and now the sales customer is me, not Member Benefits Australia (obviously).

          My question thus is… will I come into problems with TRS? I paid for everything, same ABN, but potentially the "customer" was different on the 2 different invoices.

        The high margins as you claim are to cover overheads. warehouse space isn't free, store space isn't free, staff are not free and the list goes on.

        People who think stores should only make 2% on a product, have never ran a business.

        Out of the millions turned over by the GG, they are not really rolling in profits if you like they make 500% profit.

        BTW profit is after all costs is taken out.

        • phoenixx on 28/10/2018 - 12:44
          +11

          Exactly. I'm so tired of people expecting retailers not to make margin. News flash guys it take 35% margin to keep the doors open in most cases (margin,not markup, different math).

        • Maverick-au on 28/10/2018 - 13:02
          -2

          It's the Australian way of doing business, top heavy retailers and governments that are full of inefficient systems that require high tax or high margins to keep them afloat and it only continues to get worse as rising costs mean they need to make more.

        • Diji1 on 28/10/2018 - 14:14

          People who think stores should only make 2% on a product, have never ran a business.

          A fair point and staff being paid at higher levels helps everyone as they spend their money in the economy.

          However 10% of the price is the most unfair taxes that can be devised being applied by the government. Which people who like losing money voted for.

            So, what's your proposed alternative?

            A service tax (like the gst) is a 'relatively' fair tax as it taxes consumption, and is one of the ways to ensure even the lost dodgy of cash only people pay some form of tax… You buy more, you get taxed more..

            +2

            @Diji1: How is it an unfair tax? It's actually incredibly fair in that all consumers pay it, so there is limited way to dodge it, and unlike income tax, is much harder to avoid

            • slimmy on 28/10/2018 - 22:38

              @RMBC: As those with more money are impacted less than those who are poor, so the GST is considered not very fair.

                +1

                @slimmy: Seems pretty fair to me. Those who are poor already benefit from lower income tax and/or access to welfare, as well as concession discounts on selected goods and services.

              • RMBC on 29/10/2018 - 06:35

                @slimmy: Everyone paying the same amount, ie 10% on purchases is perfectly fair. Plus progressive income tax rates mean those with a higher earning capacity pay more in income tax anyway, and that is before welfare payments are considered

      • klownz on 28/10/2018 - 13:59

        So how much wage would you want to earn working in AU too…

        • CyberMurning on 28/10/2018 - 14:01

          I support local employments. But I don't support million dollars salary for CEO and billions dollars profit for corporation

            -1

            @CyberMurning: What's wrong with billion dollar profits for corporations? Often the profit margins, ie % of profit from sales is lower in large corporations than in smaller ones. Plus corporations are owned by shareholders, so it is shareholders who benefit. Also corporate profits are distributed to the shareholders, so the shareholders then pay tax on those profits

        • Shekster on 11/12/2018 - 16:40

          While I'm not really allowed to tell you the actual cost price, I can assure you this is very close to the cost price for the major retailers themselves (eg. TGG, JB, etc.)

          As such, what solidussnake is saying is true as Sony obviously sells these to stores at a profit.

      Also, a good guy working at the good guys (see what I did there) said the limit on my Commercial account is per pick up. That means I can get another 10 x via mine and my wife's accounts. The catch is that these have to be on back order (5 days according to him). The thing is that I have to make sure there are enough people placing orders or I'll end up having a house of Sony XM3; it's gonna be a very quiet house indeed.
