Did anyone actually manage to pick up one of these cameras?

If you give a person a fish, they eat for a day.
If you them how to catch fish, you feed them for a lifetime.
If you go to JB to buy a Nikon for $119, they tell you to "Go Fish"
If you see a fish at a ridiculously low price, use click and collect and pickup asap.
Lawyer Sam Macedone said in the case of a mistakenly advertised price, a shopper could legally only ask for a refund of their money.
Oh he'll nah. I'm suing for pain and suffering. I'm hiring the best lawyers costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not about the money. It's the principle.

It's the vibe
It’s Mabo
It's…no wait yeah it's Mabo.
if stores had to honour online prices, then they would need to hire like web professionals full-time, instead of just getting their monkeys to punch in the data into a csv.
hire like web professionals full-time
The retailer may pass on the cost of labour to the consumers.
Or a programmer for 10 minutes to require authorisation for 90% discounts. It's bizarre that basic sanity checks aren't used and companies dump their price changes on weekends.
Probably not 90 but 40 above
He probably means 90 over the ridiculously inflated RRPs in this country..
Evan would need to fork out another $1000 if he wanted to pick one up.
"I run a small business and when we make a mistake, especially a price-sensitive mistake, we honour it," he said.So this person have a spare $150k in an account somewhere to honour price errors?
Evan is just full of
honourshit.Evan should bring bikies
Evan can't even decide if his name is Evan or Ivan.
I could be very very very rich with all the price errors I've run into .
Common sense prevails .
GL to the smarties that rush to the stores that click collected before they woke up :)
Glanced this on the news: at least JB didn't insult these customers, and their notification wasn't an insulting "we are very disappointed that you have decided to cancel your order" e-mail. Pretty sure too that JB won't hoard their money for 43 days like professional Gerry did mine.
NB. Yes, still bitter… hence my moniker.
obvious mistake, doesn't need to be honoured IMHO.
to the bearded gronk on a current affir who said he is now out of pocket $119, well you were always out of pocket $119 dollars, if you can;t afford to eat now then maybe should have set more aside first.
if you employed someone and accidently put an extra 0 on their salary before the decimal point, would you honour it, or tell the employee its an obvious error, likewise if your salary was missing a zero, you would let the employer know its an obvious mistake.
Was this deal posted on ozbargain?
Nope
Entitled morons. A $1000+ camera/lens set for $119? It was obviously a pricing error. A small business is different to a major retailer. Maybe you'd be willing to take it on the chin if you made a single error with a customer, but when there are thousands of orders, that equates to thousands of dollars.
Ivan is full of BS. He would have known that it was a pricing error but is trying to look like an innocent victim. He had nothing to lose. Hell, if I ordered one, I would have expected it to get cancelled, so I wouldn't throw my arms up demanding it to be honoured. Seriously, a DSLR for $119?
Did A Current Affair actually cover something as stupid as this?
Wonder if these whingers are ozbargainers?
Not going to be surprised if some are.
Kind of reminds me of the Dell Taiwan price error https://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/taiwan-orders-dell-to-ho…
[Yawn] [grabs.popcorn] so ahh… what does this have to do with the price of fish?…
