Can anyone understand why Officeworks would fluctuate the pricing on iPad mini 4's so dramatically?
I have been watching their price, and they were a solid $474 prior to Christmas for the 128gb. They had a short burst for 1 week at $399, and then back to $474. Two weeks later, they have soared to $578. Incredible, given you can pick up a 6 Gen iPad 128gb for $519. ($299 in Target 2 weeks ago too!)
Go figure.
yupp JB HI FI does this to Amazon on games as well
They operate on being the cheapest. If no one currently has it on special they sit just under rrp (579). If someone has a special price they beat it.
Considering Apple only gives a tiny margin of profit to retailer, op should have just bought if sale price is discounted at 10% or better.
As others have said, all they do is follow the market pricing. Your story can be seen via this Price Hipster chart, all they were doing was following JB. The target deal was a one off clearance sale with not too much stock around.
"$299 in Target 2 weeks ago too!", Was that for Gen 6? I only found a deal for the Mini.
Yes El Grande that was for the mini.
I wouldn't blame Officeworks, they are auto price matching. I think Amazon had a cheap price for a while and Officeworks matched it.
