[Price Error, NSW] 10x $1.10 Stamps ($11 Value) for $2.50 from Vending Machine @ Australia Post Business Hub, Alexandria

7010

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)

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

    Wow…. I'm just totally astonished that people aren't arriving in droves, late on a Monday night, to get a few cheap stamps.

    I really thought that the queue would have been a few hundred metres long by now.

    Thanks OP. Almost as entertaining as the 5 setter last night and I’ll still get to sleep 2 hours earlier.

    Tonight’s entertainment was dare I say better than the tennis finals last night op! Thank you for the live stream, was fun :)

    My vote for OZB of the year!

  • +4

    Genuinely had so much fun with this.

    OZB of the year lock-in in January!

  • Seems that they filled the stamps into the wrong part of the machine, doubt this will work with other machines unfortunately. Still worth a try for those who are interested

    • +4

      It works in Melbourne CBD confirmed it's a programming error Australia wide on 604

      • Did any other locations have good discounted offers or were they all stamps?

  • +3

    I'm worried for OP. If he disappears tomorrow we all know AusPost got to him - they have his credit card info and face from the stream.

      I fear my Commonwealth Public Service dreams are numbered :(

      • +12

        If anything I think the OP should get a free Cartier watch from Aus Post 😉

    • Just send them your address and leave clear instructions about a safe location to pick you up

      That way they'll never find you and somebody in Chullora will end up in a van with a bag over their head for a short side trip to Bunbury

  • This seriously reminds me of when I gatecrashed an OzBargain meetup uninvited using the username of someone else. Good times.

    • +1

      You can't just tell us that. What happened?

      • +8

        He turned up, started talking like Rainman and everybody assumed he was jv

        • Funny you should say that because I did impersonate JV at the last Meetup.

      • +1

        Ok so years ago Shopback were having an OzBargain party that was invite only. Someone who had RSVP'd ended up pulling out and I asked if I could take their place. So I rocked up to the party, said I was someone else and they let me in. Not long after I revealed who I was and the SB team were like "ohhhhhhhhhhh it's you".

        The feeling of walking to the bar, heading down the stairs, going inside, pretending to be someone else and finally revealing myself was a real buzz of excitement and anxiety.

        Long story short when people were commenting their bad experiences in CR deals, the SB rep accounts were upvoting their comments. I called it out publicly so there were some salty feelings about me. We had a fun night and made up ;)

    I fear the OP has set the bar for new deal posts, to be considered a premium deal post, it must now be accompanied with a live stream and commentating.

    Reminds me of the time one of the drinks vending machines at Indro, QLD shopping centre would give me $2 coins for every $1 I insert. Happened for about a year or two.

  • legend

    Someone close by should check it again. Either they restocked the machine and haven't fixed the bug

  • Great livestream last night!

    Just watched the stream, I think live stream Ozbargain deals are here to stay. I forsee the next TCN 15% off will start with a 100m dash to the wall. Great work levity

  • +2

    The livestream was strange. Confronting. But in its own way, beautiful. Sorta like Gogglebox, but for cheapskates.

    • You mean gogglebox for OzBargainers?

  • wonder if Australia Post can charge back the difference?
