Spotted this at Australia Post. Seems like a good deal for a Chromecast. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s gen 2?
Mod: From comments it appears selected stores and likely to be limited stock.

Reminds me of the good ol' days when I bought this by paying $8 when full price was $58 and you were able to stack two $25 promo codes from theGoodGuys that were received when registering to their marketing messages.
Those $25 codes were awesome!
Might try my local aussie post and use it with my cheap google home mini from other deal
what's the usage between mini and chromecast ?
You ask the Mini to start playing something on the Chromecast - "Hey Google, play me that song by that guy that I like on the Chromecast" and it'll turn on Youtube on the Chromecast and play that song by the guy that you like, and you didn't even have to use your hands.
I went into my local post office and they didn't have any. The lady check stock levels online and there was 3 in Sydney (St Marys and Richmond) and probably another 15 or son scattered around the country. I remember her saying Dickson and Mitchell which I think are in the ACT. Good luck :)
Got the last one, Preston Vic
It's a treasure hunt with hundreds and hundreds of up votes, anyone would think this is a rare, once in lifetime opportunity open to anyone with ambition. These could be hiding in any post office, in any of the 300,000 locations australia-wide…good luck!
Tried my local. They have it in a case with a $59 price tag (still a 2nd gen). When I asked about it, they said $59 is what it scans at and someone else from OzBargain had already asked about it. Girl behind the counter said the $30 price tags 'must be from a previous sale.'

Gen 3 is $59 standard retail pricing
Must be an error in pricing at the local AusPost.
here is Gen 3 for 46 bucks delivered!

what about Gen 4? Is it real?
No such thing as gen4, Chromecast Ultra is a different product.
That's a Chinese knock off.
Yeah they were claiming the Gen 2 was supposed to be that price too. Saw no point arguing with the worker behind the counter as technically I didn't have a leg to stand on given it's got the $59 price tag and that's what they claim it scans at.
Exactly right ….

Brought one from Willoughby post office.
They still have 1 left
Shows that the stock levels in the system are incorrect.
Auspost staff must be totally confused between Gen 2 and Gen 3
Picked up the last one in Ivanhoe, Vic! Ozbargained!
Thanks for the post OP, called Aus Post, none left in NSW and very limited stock (less than 5) in other states. Would suggest calling up Aus Post so they can tell you if there is any in your local stores. Goodluck!
I just picked one up from Seven Hills, there’s another one in the glass shelf if anyone’s interested.

That's gen 3 in the shelf not gen 2.
I found one, still stickered at $59 and rung up at $30.
Only one in the PO
Got the last one from Greensborough.
Went to my local post office couple of days ago … they didnt have Chromecast on sale …
I showed them the pic with the price tag.
The lady zoomed in the pic and showed me the date printed on the price tag 11.03.2019
The deal was posted on 29 April.
No wonder there's hardly any left !
Just off the phone with Australia Post and no stock left!!
Multiple avaliable at Brisbane CBD. Just grabbed one for $30 no issues.
Chromecast 2? Might as well buy a VCR as well.
