Got the call from Mum to find her a new phone because she dropped her Nokia brick down the sink (I was honestly amazed it stopped working).

She just wants to call and text so the Samsung Galaxy A20 fit the bill.

Searched on Coles, went through the catalog and found it for $119. The 4th Coles I phones had one in stock but when I arrived it scanned at $199 and verified it was $199 in the catalog.

I ripped out my phone and showed them that when you go through the PDF catalog online, select CATEGORIES then STATIONARY & MEDIA it shows it for $119.

They wouldn't let me have it after a few back and forth a trying to figure out the error, but the lady was nice and called the store manager. He verified the store location blah blah blah and ended up letting me have it for $119.

Obviously YMMV, but good luck!

Have attached the receipt and screenshot.

    Can you link to the catalogue please?

    I cant find it on the website or on the PDF copy either.

    Is dumb luck a bargain?

    Great price op.

    • KLoNe on 04/06/2020 - 15:58

      Hah, thanks MS Paint. Hopefully, some other can get the same price here in QLD.

  • dingdong3000 on 04/06/2020 - 15:51

    Ahh seems like only for Queensland.

    change the postcode to 4000, it will show as $119.
    change your postcode back to your local it will remain at $119

    ozbargainers needs to rip coles a new one for this type of pricing variation.
    and it's so much better than "to call and text"

    • KLoNe on 04/06/2020 - 15:57

      This would be worth trying!

      The store manager did dick around verifying the store was set correctly though so YMMV.

      Yeah, tell me about it, she would literally rather her Nokia back than this thing.

      • ozhunter68 on 04/06/2020 - 17:15

        Just wondering what model Nokia it is you call "a brick?"

        • KLoNe on 04/06/2020 - 18:22

          Nokia 3310

          • ozhunter68 on 04/06/2020 - 21:25

            @KLoNe: Ah, that one. Only weighs 85gr though which was nice.

  • t3chshopper on 04/06/2020 - 15:52

    A ridiculously good phone for $119! Even if it's a pricing error.

    Cool story bro. They must have fixed it or at least when I did exactly as you suggest, it comes up $199 (NSW Metro).

      I just checked as well, seems QLD only. They haven't updated QLD yet.

        Not sure how much use a stationary phone is?
        Do you mean like a landline?

    Scan price error so you should get it for free

    • KLoNe on 04/06/2020 - 16:14

      It scanned at $199. It's a online website error. Who knows what the policy is for that? 🤷‍♂️

    • gram on 04/06/2020 - 16:47

      The policy is for products priced under $50.

    • WookieMonster on 04/06/2020 - 17:30

      I was told by a Coles rep once that the scanning code of practice doesn't apply to any products purchased through Coles Online.

      Yeah, makes sense. The staff were friendly instore though. Thanks Marie & Shane at Kedron 🙂

  • donamique on 04/06/2020 - 16:05

    How deep was the sink?

      I think it went in the insinkerator. Still shocked the brick stopped working.

  • bajirao on 04/06/2020 - 16:08

    In QLD catalogue it shows 199, when you click it shows 119 (probably a typing error). Will stores honour it? Because its 199 in catalog and not 119?

    • KLoNe on 04/06/2020 - 16:15

      I'd say very few, but worth a shot!

  • Lone star on 04/06/2020 - 16:16

    110% is price error. And also 110% no one else could get Samsung A20 at another (and also same) store again.

    Thanks OP. I gave my 66 year old mum instructions over the phone on how to get the A20, then sent her on her way.. just got a call back that she sucessfully OzBargained her local Coles and nabbed herself a cheap A20! Ive never been so proud of her!

      Damn! Hell yeah! Props to your mum! Mine would NEVER do that. That's awesome to hear. 🙏🙏
