    Very nice price, but no stock in Canberra. I thought I'd check central Sydney as well (2000) - no stock. In Melbourne (3000) two stores have low stock, while the rest have none. Brisbane (4000) looks a lot better - three stores have low stock.

    In other words, good luck finding these.

      • AssociatedJayskies @ Dick Smith / Kogan on 19/05/2012 - 21:17

        Only 15 stores are undergoing closure at the moment, all other stores will be trading as per normal.

        There is no further information available regarding remaining stores and the future of DSE.

      • AssociatedJayskies @ Dick Smith / Kogan on 19/05/2012 - 21:18

        My own observation:

        Retail electronics is nowhere near as profitable as it was 3-5 years ago, and with online shopping becoming more popular and products more accessible online, fewer people see the need to enter bricks and mortar stores to shop.

        That coupled with the GFC & Eurozone issues, people aren't as willing to spend because money is more scarce than it was 5-10 years ago.

        As much as we all ultimately want a good price, or for us OZBargainers - the best price, and turn to online shopping, we quite often fail to support those stores which bring the products to us in the first place when we should, even if it costs a few percent more in price.

        • ryang on 19/05/2012 - 21:26
          +2

          I think the blame lays squarely on the wholesalers. If it's costing the retailer more to purchase the product than a similar company OS, then they are always going to lose..

          But then, they'll shift the blame onto transportation companies, which apparently are ripping everyone off as well. Funny how it seems to cost more to ship 100+ of an item than it does 1. </sarcasm>

  • Halellujah on 20/05/2012 - 00:06

    DS is clearing out some aging lines to make way for new stock, hence the insanely low price. also 3.5mm aux cables for $2, TDK 10 pack with cases for $2, Verbatim DL DVDs 3 pack with cases $2, and a whole bunch of home phone cabling stuff.

    but being they are clearing the items out, the reason people are struggling to find stock is the fact that the price is desgined to run the stock out.

    and as for the closures the only DS stores closing are unprofitable stores, or stores that had been end of lease stores that werent performing well for a while. The whole DS closing thing was a beatup, Woolies is SELLING DS, not closing the company, many believe its due to them putting more focus into their BIG W stores for electronics (TVs and whatever else etc). The company is making money as a whole, and comping on previous years still due to the major facelift they've undergone so wouldnt make sense to close a business actually turning a profit in this retail climate.

    • voter1 on 20/05/2012 - 01:34

      yes, I think right now what is actually happening is woolworths is trying to crash prices in order to win market share and make the company look good for someone to buy it.

      They want somebody to buy it and then sell electronics as a competitor @ bigw (more than they are now, but not as many lines as DSE has)

    • MadMaxHeadroom on 22/05/2012 - 19:46

      The DSE in Bourke Street (Melbourne) had what appeared to be a renewed supply of the DL 3 packs this afternoon - a dozen or so more packs than the day before.

  • Peace Maker on 20/05/2012 - 06:53

    Is no one going to say it? Guess I will …

    There is no stock at most stores because the staff bought it all!

    • INFIDEL on 20/05/2012 - 07:34
      +1

      Umm… you post that there is no stock 12 hours after this deal was posted. With a popular deal, it would often be OzBargained straight away. DS's website barely worked due to the high traffic last night.

      There is no stock because none has been ordered in by DS for a while (hence no online stock), these are very old stock, it already has been on clearance in the stores, and what was left has been snapped up by OBers as soon as we knew about the deal. I used to know many DS managers & buy up all their 'Quit Stock' for a nice profit. Little if any of that stock was of interest to staff. Its old technology. No need to stir up any conspiracy theory!

      I easily ordered
      2 $2 packs of DVD-R 50s,
      2 $2 Groomers
      2 $2 Answering Machines
      2 $2 slimline phones
      and more $2 stuff in 3 Brissie stores (limit of 2/order)

      • Peace Maker on 20/05/2012 - 07:46

        Sarcasm missed… obviously.

          Unfortunately on OB, it is often not sarcasm displayed in these DS deals. Assumed it was - but not obvious enough ;)
          Replied just in case - tired of these same old conspiracies!

          Now we will see how much stock actually is in the stores - as some will only exist on the store inventory, not on the shelf. In the coming hours junior staff will scour the shelves for this stock, and texts may go out that some of us won't get our order. (Knowing some stores far too well, it will exist but will be lost out the back. Some stores were notorious for poor stock taking practices - with lots of old stock left on their computer which had been transferred to other stores, stolen, damaged, returned unfit for sale, or lost.) Then we will really hear the conspiracy that staff hid it away for themselves.
          My comment is merely a preemptive strike!

      Very easy to blame staff, or sarcastically elude to it.

      There is no stock because thieves don't tell us to adjust our stock levels before they take something.

      Yesterday alone at the closing store i work at, we had a few $10 mobile phone pouches right through to a $370 HDD stolen, all with heavy discounts on each item.

    • c64 on 20/05/2012 - 10:14

      i just got a call for a click & collect order. a place that had stock online last night apparently has no real stock this morning.

      • INFIDEL on 20/05/2012 - 10:18

        Unfortunately, that is what I predicted for some of us :(

        • INFIDEL on 20/05/2012 - 11:30

          Fortunately, I was lucky with 5 out of 6 orders.
          1 store said it had stock, but they rang to say none existed.
          I rang a store with Low Stock, but had none.
          They suggested Garden City had 6 of what I wanted, so rang but it was a mistake on their system. Online also showed no stock.

          So DS store computer stock levels may differ from DS online level, and both may differ to real stock level!!

        Click and Collect is a great system, providing the stock is actually available in store.

        So many times at my store have customers assumed items were in stock without waiting for confirmation, only to be disappointed (many wanting compensation which is ridiculous) upon arrival at the store because the items we were looking for were damaged/stolen etc and still showing up on our system

        • INFIDEL on 20/05/2012 - 11:02

          A great system, but only as good as the true representation of the stock level. Years ago I was an electronics builder & DS tragic - checking stores in out of the way locations for old stock (from Cairns to Tasmania). Some stores inventories were way out. Some stock had not existed for years. When I brought this up with DS head office - they sent me a free $100 kit. But with this system, stock is checked to exist, reserved if available & they even ring if stock is not available after all.

    Stock may be available at closing stores, may show if you 'Check Store Stock', but won't be shown as available for Click & Collect. I have been told these stores are under a separate management company to wind them down. So they cannot offer DS catalog specials or ordering. BUT, stock levels may only reflect levels at date new management took over, and may not be updated.

    Also prices at closing down stores are NOT DS prices.
    Logan store just quoted $13.95 for 50pack DVD-R at their 'closing down sale'!!
    The $2 100 LED light set is $17.95 & they have stock. http://dicksmith.com.au/product/HS0400/indoor-outdoor-100-wh…
