    Boooo no stock.

  • pepsicles on 11/07/2012 - 20:11

    How do we click and collect? Just seems to show option to see which store has stock…

    • Steptoe on 11/07/2012 - 20:35

      Find stock, then click & collect.

  • Castrom8 on 11/07/2012 - 20:15

    Would be a nice deal if there would be availability - they've been sold out for weeks despite their website showing availability. Dicksmith staff send me recently all over Sydney chasing one (when it was still $29). Their computer kept telling them they had availability when really there wan't any. I wasted an afternoon on that. In North Sydney they searched their storage room for 20 min because "according to the computer" there must be a purple one somewhere…" Well it wan't. Good luck.

    • ezarc on 11/07/2012 - 20:27

      You are talking about Sydney?

      For example 3500 (Mildura,VIC) is the only other post code I tried other than my own, shows in stock and you can click and collect with the purple one. I'm not supprised if someone went all over Sydney buying them to try and resell them on eBay or whatever, sorry for you wasing your own time and your bad luck.

      Maybe just call the stores next time?

  • Castrom8 on 11/07/2012 - 20:19

    Quite a slap in the face - they know that they're out of stock… (tell me a branch that really has one left). What's the sense of discounting an out-of-stock item?? Surprised Dicksmith does bait advertising.

          South-West of Victoria. I rang them and they said there was a few available. I might have to buy one tomorrow! Won't replace my Kindle though.

        • ozshaz on 11/07/2012 - 20:43

          did you rang them now ? are they open?

        • PowerB on 11/07/2012 - 20:50

          I know people who work there. Apparently they had a heap of them in stock. The website is coming up with low stock now, but I'll still wander in there tomorrow. Anyone know if these things are hackable?

      It's discounted to get rid of aged stock, just like a supermarket would reduced near expired food.

      And it's not advertised.

    Claremont (Closing Down Sale) - is showing up as having stock…

    My daughter is in high school, she has had her's for 6 months and still loves it. She chooses this over the ipad for reading! Battery is great, they display all major formats, even movies.. we put an 8GB MicroSD in it and it's pretty damn great for a cheapie.

    Pity little stock. Broadway and Bondi in Sydney apparently have 'low stock'.

      It's been saying "low stock" on their site for some time now but they actually don't really have any left.

      Bit harsh to neg this just because of a technical glitch. Did you try calling or, god forbid, visit the store!?

        it is not yet 9 in Sydney, will call them after that(if i get the item will revoke the neg)…

        what ever the reason(no stock or technical glitch), if i can't buy as described in the deal, then it is no deal…

        the title says:

        Click and Collect

  • Jdrizzle on 12/07/2012 - 09:19
    +3

    Agree it's harsh to neg this because YOUR closest store didn't have stock… there were some in this post able to click and collect… I think this is as valid as any other limited stock deal.

    FYI in VIC - Camberwell, Melbourne Strand show low stock - they have none. Camberwell sold their last one this morning, and Strand have ONE but they say it's badly broken. I don't think any more showed up as low stock around CBD… maybe vic gardens, but I cbf going back to check, too hard to get there from where I am on a public transport day :-D

    Good luck to everyone else, there might be a few left in the wild.

    People who neg a deal ONLY because they couldn't get one / their preferred store was out of stock are NOT ONLY morons but you're violating the official OzB voting rules ….not to mention the basic spirit of at the very core of Ozbargain.

    Technically all votes like these should be reported and removed, you're idiots - stop acting like spoilt brats who throw a tantrum as you can't get something and others did.

    Jesus, the OP finds a great deal - BUT WAIT, whats he meant to do make sure there's stock in every store around the country BeFORE he posts it back so clowns like you won't possibly miss out????

    The simple and IRREFUTABLE truth is it must have been a GREAT DEAL as you saw his post and scurried of looking for it!!!!! Not to mention chucked a nana when you missed out.

    Nice posting OP, sorry about the idiots (aren't we all!!!).

    • andy19363 on 12/07/2012 - 12:05

      negative votes lost their relevance a long time ago unfortunately…….

    • Castrom8 on 12/07/2012 - 16:47

      Nikko,
      I'm sure a lot of people use the voting system to express their personal (and therefore of course objective) perspective of a deal. It's right, this isn't exactly how the voting system here is intended and I believe some are just unaware of the "when to vote negative" guidelines and the impact of a neg vote on the poster.
      But in all respect, Nick, calling them "Idiots", "Morons" and "spoilt brats" is a bit harsh.

      • Moderator[Deactivated] on 13/07/2012 - 11:01

        Agree calling them names just reaches their level, but again like others who misuse the vote system, as you said, they are also expressing a personal point of view.

        But the community can change this by voting down their negative comment. 6 down votes remove a negative vote.

        The 6th voter gets the satisfaction of seeing this

        You + community have revoked the -1 vote from "XXXXX" on this deal

        So rather than bitch about it, use the system to get the message across.

    1 item in Albury (somewhere on the border of NSW & Vic )

    2 items in Mt Gambier Store (somewhere near the border of SA & Vic )

    Just drop me a msg and Iwill give the order confirmation number to you

    • ozbargainn on 12/07/2012 - 15:23

      "click & collect" is just a stupid way to save calling fees… I prefer to use it after business hours

      1. u finished the order in website, got a e-mail with confirmation code.
        (this is just a confirmation u made a request only)

      2. u need to wait for 1-2 business days, the store will send you a email/sms to pickup instore (there may hv 50-50 chances you will not get any emails/sms although u did the 1st step)

      Therefore, I prefer contact through phone and ask the staff to hold the item if there are stocks available for """DAYTIME"""

        Actually its a great way for employees to not get tied up with angry phone calls and serve customers who are actually in the store. I work in retail, i know the drill. "What you don't have stock, why?, how dare you not have stock, where am I supposed to get stock?, thats too far away, how dare you not have stock". Sigh. What the hell am I expected to do, just will stock into existence on the spot?
