Vending machine has been incorrectly programmed. Option 604 is giving out $11 worth of stamps for $2.50!

There are PLENTY of stamps in this machine. The foyer is open 24/7 so come on down and say hi to me in the little red car (I wanna see some real life OzB drama for entertainment in my free time)

Follow the chaos live here:

Update the following day: https://youtu.be/Al6hT11k1dE

Tl;dr - they switched off the vending machine after re-stocking it with the correct product, lol. Possibly a nationwide memo from head office to switch these things off, lol

            @mubd1234:

            Nah I don't need more stamps

            You realise that this is like free money? Not sure if it's still policy, but Auspost used to buy back unused stamps for 90% of face value. So you could've emptied the machine and made 400% on your investment.

              @Homr: you can't trade in your stamps but you can use it for standard post for letters and standard and express post by making it up in postage.

          • [Deactivated] on 31/01/2022 - 23:16

                @[Deactivated]: I guess it depends on the place. Mine never had a problem with it. Signature seems to mean nothing these days though. They just "safe drop" it anyway, and don't even knock or ring the bell.

      Don't think they will for $8.5 of stamps you didn't pay for

      • spaceflight on 31/01/2022 - 22:50

        But you did pay for them.
        You got them at a discounted price.

        • [Deactivated] on 31/01/2022 - 23:21

          $11-$2.50=$8.50 of unpaid stamps

          • spaceflight on 31/01/2022 - 23:48
            +3

            @[Deactivated]: 10x stamps for $2.50 is 25 cents per stamp.

            That's about an 80% discount from face value.

            No stamps are unpaid as the machine sold 10 at an 80% discount for a total of $2.50

            Or does your logic mean that this deal you posted means everyone who made a purchase still owes Officeworks $9.05 per bottle and that 91% of the bottle is unpaid for?
