    Obviously a typo and in store only so you cant hope that they wouldnt notice a sneaky online order.

    Negging because noone is going to be able to redeem this, will removie if I hear otherwise.

      Well, he acknowledged it could have been a typo. Give him a break i reckon, he posted something he believed may have been a good deal.

      At least he wasn't a rep ;)

    I rang the local store in Perth and he said there was only a couple left in the fulfilment centre in Victoria and they couldn’t be sent to another state. He didn’t say if you were in Victoria, they wouldn’t do it for $99 :)

    • A Banana4scale on 15/10/2011 - 01:49

      that sounds like a good bargain for Victorians. If this is a typo then they can choose to honour it or not right?

    Erm yeah! Not going to happen. Even if they have stock in a hole somewhere I doubt it will change hands for the mere sum of $99, which also happens to be how much that dude on the other thread repairs broken laptop LCDs for haha..

        Called OW Alexandria - none in stock in NSW. Are working to update the web page.

    I just went to QV Melbourne and Elizabeth OW. No stock.
    I can see why they say it is a legit price because there are non in stock.

    They can list it as $10 if they want. Customers will just never get to buy it at that price.

  • ccrap on 15/10/2011 - 08:31

    LoL Cant believe I woke up at 8 for this! No stock in NSW, VIC or QLD. There was a few ghosts on the system but I called up each one. Same answer everytime "clearance item no stock!" if I wasn't about to fall asleep I would vote ne…. Zzzzzzzz

        Im doing the qld calls :( Guy said nothing in qld :( I asked if its a clearance item and he said it looks like a typo. Could there be hope for HN price match? haha

      • ccrap on 15/10/2011 - 09:02

        Didnt have to call QLD as they had no ghosts on the system. NSW had 5 and Vic had 3.

        • kiwipride on 15/10/2011 - 09:04

          Sorry, my bad. Thought you said you called each one.

    Just been to Nunawading OW. Too late she cried!! They had 10 in stock this morning and the price is legit. Awesome find OP! I just hope that 1 person didn't greedily buy the lot because there's always enough Ozbargain pie for everyone!

    • jmwon9 on 15/10/2011 - 08:44

      She lied. I spoke to Doncaster and Nunanwading at 8:05 am this morning, on simultaneous lines, there was no stock! I wasn't going to neg this deal but with the amount of fools still clicking positive I am going to neg it now. There's no point this going to the top of the front page. Sorry OP, nothing personal.

      I just confirmed this with my contact higher up in the OW food chain. This is like every other officeworks clearance item -> once they run out of stock they slowly write it off to zero on the system. There never was any stock sold anywhere at $99. Stocks were over well before that price.

      God some of you guys, really!? Why on Earth would I make up such a story!? By all means ring Nunawading and prove me wrong.

      EDIT - Female staff member with a South African accent lied to me then if that's the case!! I also hope ccrap you're not implying I am the liar!?

      • ccrap on 15/10/2011 - 08:58

        She fed you 100% BS. I DID speak to them at 8:05 as that was one of the stores showing ghost stock. They had none. See my second paragraph in the comment above. This is always how OW writes down clearance items. The deal was posted Friday night so not too many people on here, or else it would have been down voted ages ago as most know of this officeworks practice. The only thing throwing people off was the website doesn't have the yellow clearance label on it, but it is loaded on the OW internal system as a clearance item.

    • massari on 15/10/2011 - 08:54

      No point trying.. Dick smiths policy says must be in stock. Last time I tried to price match they refused to do Umart so yea :\ Any price match policy that doesnt state there must be stock? haha

    • jmwon9 on 15/10/2011 - 08:55

    Me thinks that someone in the marketing dept at OW is deliberately deflating the price of zero stock/deleted items to get free exposure on bargain websites. It certainly is paying dividends for the company as everytime this happens it garners alot of chatter!

  • winstonAU on 15/10/2011 - 09:05

    Not a typo, as we've confirmed it with the people that handle pricing, however no where in Australia has it, nor can they get any stock - so yeah, its real, but you'll not be able to get it.

    Just rang officeworks in Watergardens & he said it was a legit price, but he confirmed there was no stock Aust. wide. He knew which model I was looking for before I even said it. He reckons the price is because there is one in the distribution centre but doesn't actually exist. So folks we're after the pot of gold….excellent pickup on the price though.

  • naphman on 15/10/2011 - 09:30

    So be it guys. I felt like death this morn - I got up and checked the local in QLD. None.
    Yet had there been some it would have been great. No need for slander etc. Next time. Thanks for the local for allowing me to check on opening.

  • subydooby on 15/10/2011 - 09:35

    If I worked at OW I would snaffle all of these in stock, they probably shared them out amongst the staff. OW should pull this off the website or be forced to sell a replacement. Someone call the ACCC.
