All prices have been slashed to clear a wide range of stock. Quantity is limited across some product types. At the time of posting there are great deals on cables, power supply units, networking gear, tools, and specialist items.
10/1 1145am: Note the website is still currently very slow.
This is not a forced closure. The owner is retiring.
Couldn’t sell the business?
Apologies.
More so an indication of how many people browse OzBargain and how much traffic the site just recieved compared to what they normally support.
I’m getting:

Ozbargain'd :(
Any bargains??
Apparently they have bargain basement web hosting if that counts.. I got the site to load once, but then it 503'd again :/
e: From what i have managed to see, there doesn't look like much left, mostly accessories (vesa mounts, surveillance stuff, ups's).. some network gear but nothing i'd buy.. No monitors, no graphics cards, no decent sized hard drives (internal 1tb only, external 2tb), no ssds.. That's about all I've managed to load thusfar. Some good deals there, just nothing I want to buy personally.
Loaded a bunch more.. Some PSUs, a couple of motherboards, a bunch of fans, a tonne of printer cartridges.. A bunch of cables.. A couple of backpacks.. Speakers, Cases..
1/150 Redland Bay Road, Capalaba Queensland 4157 Worth a look in store if your local. Wouldn't want to try online as the stock may not be there even if the site said it was as stock would be moving fast on a fire sale.
Things have been moving very quickly in store. We are updating our website regularly. If we are out of stock we contact buyers immediately and either refund or amend orders.
Hey bud, why are some prices reverting back to normal at checkout? had about 300 bucks worth of stuff queued up and now its like 580
Can’t purchase anything when the website won’t load - poor form on their behalf
Site is getting pounded I'd say. Give it a minute.
You've been here 10yrs and still don't get that we are basically a DDoS website disguised as bargains.
How to take down your competitors:
Step 1 - Post "99% OFF SITEWIDE @ [Competitor's Website]" on OzB
Ne pas de website.
Man… I just tried to go here from staticice, without knowing any deals had been posted.
Crashed out and thought, "I'll check OzBargain while I'm waiting!"
F**k it!
Oh no, this is actually a great store (I am a local) really good for network cables and other sorts of cables.
I'd be getting down there then and stocking up! :-)
Website still down :(
I can understand why they are closing down now XD
website is 100% down
To many online options. Not enough turn over of profitable products. B&M. High expenses. Could be many reasons.
$34 standard shipping to SA kills the deal for me.
$10 shipping for a hard drive to WA. With shipping not much bargains

Seagate 1TB Firecuda 3.5in ST1000DX002 SSHD 8GB Cache SATA 6Gbp/s - CLEARANCE
Was $121.00 now $52.80
not bhed
Web site being hammered. Good prices on the networking stuff (Switches and POE modules), great if you are local and can pick up. Postage interstate takes away a big chunk of the saving, e.g. TP-Link SG1024DE 24 Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch $92.81 (2/3 normal price), postage $24 to WA.
Lol shipping is a killer cost as much as the item lol $60 item $60 shipping haha
Shipping is a killer. eBay almost always wins vs these local stores purely because of free shipping.
Shipping is horrible, i think they have a standard shipping per item and simply adds them all together instead of adding their weight then calculating shipping from Weight.
Some prices reverted back to standard price at shopping cart. the website is shitting itself.
Hi,
Could you please let us know which items reverted back to standard price so we can address the issue?
It must have been a stock issue perhaps…… The torches are now nowhere to be found… Unfortunately i can't remember what else went haywire because i closed it all off an hour ago.
Thank you for letting us know. We are working to resolve this error.
main page appears to be working fine however search and categories are broken
cant use paypal somehow
can't even calculate the delivery cost somehow!
there's a trick. I had to put my suburb in the city box. Poor detection or something.
Getting below error on website:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to www.stardot.com.au.
RIP this site, nothing is loading for me.
