This bargain has been moved to the forums as the site no longer exists and did not ship any orders. If you have ordered from this store and paid via Bank Transfer, contact your bank immediately.

Came across this deal on the GoPro HERO7 Black for $449.25, postage appears to be included in that price.

I haven't seen prices for the HERO7 Black get down much further than this lately. It looks like the other HERO7 White, Silver and Fusion cameras are also discounted on this site.

Delivery of the cameras are expected from 07 December 2018.

*Update 28/11/18

Seems as though the camera is back in stock, although for how long I'm not sure.

As others have pointed out, there is some hesitancy to deal with this website due to lack of information or reviews online, so please either contact their business first or use credit card protection to put your mind at ease.

It has also been mentioned that JB Hi-fi was able to price match on several occasions so far, so that could be worth a shot. Many thanks to rida-hy and Peety117 for posting their JB receipts for others to price match with!

    Also hero 2018 (can be modded to hero 5 black ) selling for $200

    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07B7YPKQX/

    • nightelves on 27/11/2018 - 14:48

      And this mod will have the same feature as a Hero 5 Black?

      • yinyang on 27/11/2018 - 15:18

        yes - I've done it with one bought from JB

        • nightelves on 27/11/2018 - 15:22

          So is the 7 worth it for the price vs the 5?

          • yinyang on 28/11/2018 - 14:09

            @nightelves: at this price vs current price of HB5 (around mid to high $300s), yes the 7 is worth it imho.

            comparing to the price of a Hero 2018, that can be modded to a HB5, that's not so clearcut…but I do really like my Hero 7 Black

  • dust on 27/11/2018 - 13:56

    Use black friday promo code for extra 10% off. $404 in total. Fantastic price!

    • holliday15 on 27/11/2018 - 14:07

      Scratch that. Pay by online bank transfer and get another 5% off!!

      So $384 in total!! Damn. Just ordered mine.

        Nice pickup! Don't know if I'd personally trust bank transfers to only save 5% on a non-well known site, but nice price.

      • vietbargain on 27/11/2018 - 14:12

        I'd forego the extra 5% off in favour of PayPal protection

        • auntjemimah on 27/11/2018 - 14:13

          There is no paypal, that's what made me wonder?

        • haliloo on 27/11/2018 - 14:13

          No paypal. Only credit card and bank transfer!

          • vietbargain on 27/11/2018 - 14:15

            @haliloo: Ok dang I though PayPal was standard offering. At least most credit cards will also give you buyer protection

      • holliday15 on 27/11/2018 - 14:38

        I've ordered but I am not going to make a payment until someone can confirm whether it is legit.

        I've requested that they give me a call to discuss.

    i just got Jb to price match it. just picked it up in store.

    • holliday15 on 27/11/2018 - 14:46

      which price? The $449.25 price? or further reduced?

      • rida-hy on 27/11/2018 - 16:04

        The $449 one happy to pay that much and pick it up on the spot

        • holliday15 on 27/11/2018 - 16:42

          Just tried at my local JB. They wouldn't go below $500 and said that the Super Gadgets website stocked 'grey' products.

          • rida-hy on 27/11/2018 - 16:57

            @holliday15: well i played it as its an australian website "www.supergadgets.com.au" who are they to say its a grey import. Maybe try a different JB if theyre being difficult. But i spoke with the manager and managed to get one.

    • vovka on 27/11/2018 - 15:55

              I guess you need to paste the link for the image you uploaded as others would not be able to access your files from My account.

                    @rida-hy: Damn, I have only just seen this thread… Am after a GoPro Black Hero 7. Any idea if they'd still price match these JB Hi Fi receipts from 1.5 weeks ago?

                    I am also from Perth, so not sure if they'll match NSW receipts/stores.

                    Anyone know the easiest stores in WA to price match? Have had trouble in the past to price-matching online stores in Australia even if Aus stock… The staff usually use the 'not local' excuse…!

                    Thanks!

                      @kamac93: Just got one from the same JB now.. so yes shouldn't be a problem. Said he couldn't price match the receipt but fortunately the Super gadgets site still shows the price

                        @roadeh: Yeah I just picked one up in Joondalup, Perth. The salesman had a good chat with his manager they even fully checked this website. Pretty sure the manager told him to say $480 was their lowest then I showed them the digital receipt posted above and then he went back to his manager and they caved… They didn't seem too happy haha, but their price match policy is pretty clear cut. They also heavily tried to sell accessories and extended warranty ;) if anyone from perth needs the receipt lemme know!

      @Rida-hy, you're an absolute legend. Thanks for sharing the tip and the receipt. It took some insisting but after trying on 2 shops and getting nowhere the third worked. The first two shops were Artarmon and Erina Fair in the Central Coast. The third was The Galleries. Cheers, take care.

  • guitargeek89 on 28/11/2018 - 08:55

    Anybody have any Idea if they are legit? The website looks too well built to be a scam, usually quite easy to tell.

    who else ordered one?

    • guitargeek89 on 29/11/2018 - 12:39

      I've initiated a charge back with my bank, I'm convinced its a scam.

          did u pay through online bank transfer?

          • guitargeek89 on 30/11/2018 - 08:33

            @kyori: I did pay though bank transfer. Which was poor judgement.

            I paid through NAB and have a claim in progress.

            The status of my order in supergadgets has not changed - still "awaiting bank transfer"

      I'd recommend contacting your bank.

      • fangtzuc on 30/11/2018 - 12:13

        Yes, I've cancelled the transfer, they said they'll try but not assure if they can ask the money back. If they successfully get the money back, they'll charge me $50

    Just picked one up at JB Hifi, Moore Park, Sydney. Showed them the receipt from @rida-hy and at first they also offered staff price at $500 and didn't want to do price match as they said normally only price match locally (in the area). Then I referenced the QVB sales and back to the manager and all good! Sales guy was Andrew, good service! Thanks everyone, saved me a ton of $$$.

    I e-mailed this business a week ago just to confirm if they are a legit business and haven’t had any reply. Thanks for all the info on here, just price matched at JB HiFi in Geelong, the manager was some what reluctant but when I showed him the receipt from an early post he agreed to $450. Happy days.

    Does anyone think this will still work? I’m looking at heading to JBHIFI at harbor town. Cheers

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 11/12/2018 - 20:26

      I just tried it at JB Hi-Fi Roselands and it worked. Showed SA the website and then the receipt provided by @ryda-hy, he took a photo of the receipt to check with his manager, was gone for at least five minutes, came back and said no problems and asked if I needed anything else.

      • JordanSewell on 12/12/2018 - 09:46

        I went to Australia fair JBHIFI and he wasn’t interested at playing ball. Showed him the receipts and still wouldn’t do it. It’s now being raised with the area manager because if 2 stores can do it why can’t you? If anyone could post some more receipts that would be great. Cheers

        • NoApostrophePlurals on 13/12/2018 - 02:24

          Dude don't raise it with the area manager. He may suss the deal out and then completely stop all stores from allowing it. You might ruin everyone else's chances by having a hissy fit… just keep trying other stores until you are successful just like everyone else.

          • JordanSewell on 13/12/2018 - 02:30

            @NoApostrophePlurals: I’m sure they knew well before my inquiry. The problem they have now is that certain stores have sold the product and other stores are following suit. People can always try Harvey Norman with the receipt if there local jbhifi don’t do it.

  • Sazp on 11/12/2018 - 14:09

    I would not pay or go on this website looks too legit and it could scam without PayPal

  • DirtyCheap on 12/12/2018 - 09:47

        With supergadgets website. I had it in my mobile tab, the guy checked if it is australian website, talked to manager and approved. I think the website mentions about sydney address. But, I also had other jb receipts ready in other tabs as additional proof, which were not needed.

    FYI, website now directs to "this account has been suspended"

    I still haven't got my money back. Foolish of me to pay via bank transfer - case should be coming to a close on the 12th.

    Has anybody else successfully got their money back?

    • yellowmike2000 on 12/01/2019 - 06:22

      Unfortunately, I'm also foolish enough to send money via bank transfer to RT ROHAN (Supergadgets.com.au) on 11th November 2018. Received confirmation email that the item had been shipped on 6th Dec 2018.
      But then i realised that this is a fraud/scam as I didn't receive the item, and they didn't respond to my email enquiries.
      I lodged a dispute with NAB on 3rd Jan 2019, and i haven't heard any updates. they mentioned that it would take 21-40 business day

  • guitargeek89 on 01/02/2019 - 14:49

    GOT MY MONEY BACK TODAY :D NAB initially said they would not return the money, I disputed that, and it went through yesterday.
    Tough lesson learned.

    Hope everyone else was successful
