Hey guys, saw this deal at dealstream.com.au.
Basically you go to the paypal deals website:
https://www.paypal-australia.com.au/topcustomers/offers.asp
Put in your paypal address and it will generate you a unique code.
Then when you checkout at Kogan.com.au, you can use that code to take 30 bucks off anything you buy.
Money for nothing :)
Only potential issue is that its kogan ;)
Its a free voucher? lol
You don't pay for it.
You're 30 bucks ahead of the next guy who buys something from them not knowing about this voucher right?
Well, thats stating the obvious.. ofcourse you're not going to buy something just because you have a 30 voucher lol
ofcourse you're not going to buy something just because you have a 30 voucher lol
why not, if it came down to being free (eg. the staples deals…)
Wonder if it's worth getting their 32" Full HD tv as a monitor? $349 down to $319 is pretty cheap…
Anyone know if they're comparable to the $299 Soniq from JBhifi recently?
That's pretty low res for a computer screen of that size. Dell's 27 and 30" monitors are 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 respectively. TVs and computer monitors are very different beasts.
I'm using the Soniq 32" as a computer monitor currently - love it! I just want to know what the Kogan would be like to use for my other pc (wish I'd bought 2 of the Soniqs!)
EDIT: Actually bugger it, just worked out postage is $95. Eek.
I'd like to see you do word processing on that screen…
Forgive my ignorance but why would you need anything more than 1920x1080 for a screen that size? And how do you mean TVs and monitors are different? I'm not having a go - I'm genuinely curious :)
We're talking about pixel pitch here - the physical size of each pixel. Lower resolution = larger pixels = need to be a longer distance away for things to look smooth.
The scale used here is pixel density measured in PPI, Pixels per Inch. A 32" 1920x1080 display will have 68.84 PPI
The Dell 2560x1600 has a PPI of 100.63. So basically, on your TV everything is going to be ~31% larger than it would be on a monitor, because you are essentially more zoomed in. Text and other high fidelity graphics and imagery are not going to look great.
note: 31% larger doesn't take into account the relative difference in screen sizes, it will actually be more since the display size discrepancy of 32" vs 30".
"Please note, the voucher is valid until 31st August 2011…it can only be used for product purchases and not shipping…this voucher is not valid for products marked as "On Sale" or for LivePrice specials."
Did a quick checkout…shipping to Perth was $24, making this a code for $6 : (
Edit: Tried with a smaller product (Optical Cable) - shipping still $17.
But it said you can't use it for shipping.
Yeah shipping is $17, and the cable was free (previously $7).
NOTE: This voucher is not valid for products marked as "On Sale" or for LivePrice specials.
Doesn't seem to work with Gift Vouchers either… :(
kogan, nuff said
Looks like you have to buy something from Kogan to get the voucher in the first place, then buy something else to use the voucher!.
Shipping costs alone ought to soak up the majority of the deal!
Disappointing.. I've been keeping my eye peeled for the next LivePrice on their Deluxe DAB+, Internet Radio, iPod Dock.
Nah you don't. you get a voucher code from that paypal link.
wont work with LivePrice
Kirt noted this 25 minutes ago - still a good deal if you want to buy from Kogan today
In the secure website descriptor in my address bar, it says the paypal-australia site is Paypal Pte Ltd. Is that a spelling error, or is Pte come kind of company descriptor in Singapore?
Paypal is going through Singapore for tax(avoidance?!) reasons, but it's still a secure page, if you really want to go local type in paypal.com.au/au
Not really concerned that its in Singapore. More concerned that I am used to dealing with Pty companies and I am not familiar with Pte. Looks kind of like a dodgy spelling mistake off a phishing site? (although if someone has managed to redirect all the links from Paypal to their site, they deserve money :P)
In Singapore, a proprietary company would be named "Relays (Private) Limited" abbreviated to "Relays Pte Ltd".
Correct, singaporean equivalent of pty ltd.
Not worth it, as it is not applicable on sale items and live price. They have sale items having more less on the voucher. I will give it a -
I've got the code but it's not working for me. Used the code on the Kogan checkout page. Perhaps because of this clause in the condition?
"only customers who have been sent the offer by email from PayPal"
Nevermind. My item was "On Sale".
If you buy 3 $8 3m HDMI cables, shipping comes to $17.1 for Melbourne, so $5.70 per cable. Cheaper than MSY, but still more expensive than eBay.
PVR for $25. I LIKE
Agreed!!! that price for a PVR is a steal…
I bought one.
Choosing Paypal… = reward?! MINDSPLOSION.
Want something from Kogan? Just buy from their eBay store when they use auctions. they hardly sell for 50% of their rrp cause thats how much they are worth.
Shipping kills the deal
Absolutely NOTHING FREE
You have to buy something from Kogan. This is a discount voucher.
