Impressive Price Jack from Kogan - Dumbbells

https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/2-pack-fortis-24kg-adjustable-s…
Yesterday Kogan had this set for $378 with the tagline 'Don't pay $429'
This morning it went to $689 with the tagline 'Don't pay $999'
Now it is $999 with the tagline 'Don't pay $1198'

It's still the same set that was selling for $200 on eBay a few weeks back…

Sorry Kogan, that's a dog move and I may be nobody, but I don't think I can support you guys any more.

    Should I sell my treadmill now or wait a bit?

      Your treadmill is like a rare good wine, value will increase with age

        Sweet.

        I'll strap it to the roof of my $80,000 investment vehicle while cruising past the CentreLink queues.

    Been like that for a while I feel, just checking the ACCC website and there's:

    Not that I haven't bought from there before and its turned out well, but part of me is happy ozbargain has ruined the term 'Sales' for me, and nothing is a real sale unless I've compared it with the lowest price its ever been ever lol.

      Look at the regulation stopping Kogan from ripping people off!

      It's almost like the "accountability" is just a fine that is an acceptable cost of doing business illegally "illegally".

      Technically they're not saying it's a discounted price, just that it costs less than some figure pulled out of the air.

    WTS my set for 689, don't pay 999!

  • +2

    OP; Here's proof:

    On 18 March, single one was $149.99 (flashes on before it refreshes and 'not found'). $599 now.

    2014 it was $289 for the twin set.

    Typical price gouging like many other things because of the current climate.

    People keep getting suckered into buying 'cheap' rebranded OEM junk from a company that clearly doesn't care about their customers with dodgy products and poor customer service. Now blatant price-jacking.

  • +4

    People, they are not trying to sell it. They jack it up so no one buys it.

  • +5

    "$999 Don't Pay $378!" …just doesn't have the same ring to it!

  • +1

    ….(profanity)ers

    Why would anyone pay 3 digits for some heavy? Let alone the prices listed. Is it keeping the price high because they are out of stock and they don’t want to relist?

    only $989 with first :)

    Thanks for the post alerting everyone about Kogan's extreme dodgy behaviour. I will be sure to stay away from these *****. Catch can have my business instead.

  • Thanks OZBargain people for your replies :)

    For prosperity I will paste a link to the screen-grab, https://imgur.com/a/wT9etRC

      You mean Posterity, not Prosperity.

      Prosperity is having a lot of wealth.
      Posterity is for the future.

        And pedantry is correcting minor mistakes.

        Posterdantry is correcting future mistakes.

      • Thanking you as I was just telling someone yesterday that 'escapegoat' is meant to be 'scapegoat', so i'll happily take your feedback. Always learning :)
