Intro: How many price error deals have you missed on because many people got it and the store knew something was up?
Background story: I was price matching the Jim Beam White at Dan Murphy's for the price error which is still showing with the error price on Coles (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/542218). The rep was nearly done when he searched it up on google and the ozbargain deal post showed with the title "price error" so he stopped the price matching and refused to do it anymore.
Proposal: Since all the forums under "everything else" are only visible to Ozbargain members and not visitors why not make deals that are likely to be price errors be put under a special list visible to only members?
scenario A: visible to the public so everyone sees it = store alerted= ALL orders cancelled and no one benefited
scenario B: Visible to ozbargainers only so not many see it = less likely to be all cancelled = more chances of someone benefiting
What are your thoughts?
If it wasn't google, then he would've search the Coles website which had been changed shortly after the deal was posted.
Get over it…
