I tried to check whether or not Harris Technology still had the previous offer and then I saw a massive price drop! I'm not sure if this is real but it is on their website for only 135 bucks. I'm planning to buy this again. Cheers.

The H.T. website allowed me to place an order on line for one of these, but their system disallowed a PayPal discount code that I also tried to use. When I queeried this, the HT fullfillment officer told me that they were out of stock and that I would not get the prooduct with either the clearance discount or PayPal discount, and certainly not both. I expressed disappointment. Anyway, 10 days went past, and suddenly a few days ago my Seagate FreeAgent 1TB at $135 plus postage magically arrived by post at my door! Amazing. Happy Happy.
Edit: beaten to it…
i dun noe whether they will honour it, but i've bought it and going to pick up in osborn park

Cool….i am going to try it right now. Thanks Erwinsie~!
erwinsie.
Do you mind share your receipt? I tried in officework city melbourne but they didn't give me. Which officework city did you buy?
No stock for the old model and not allow to get a new model.surat, I purchased yesterday at the QV OW, they had 50+ stock, but they called HT to check. HT said they are out of stock but price is $135. Lucky that OW honours it.
yep you're lucky. because they don't have to give you if HT is out of stock :P
I got it. They nearly gave me the Extrame version but the manager came in and told me I have gotten the wrong one. Dammit~! Anyway I am happy with it as it comes out to around $128. Good Stuff.
hi this is my first time here. what is the normal price?
can anyone teach me how to get this price as im just an international student in melbourne recently.never tried this stuff.thanks
Hi y_owez,
I am an international student studying at melbourne uni,
for the product, officeworks offer a price match & 5% beat policy,
so if you present them with a valid pricelist with same products(either from online w/ delivery charge or local stores),
they would price match & beat their competitors' price.In this case, if you present HT's offer to them.. they would sell you the hard drive for 135 x .95 = 128
Hope this helps :P
u gotta be really lucky and come across a noob serving to get the new silver DESK version rrp $250-299 otherwise they will just match the old black version.
just wondering what's the difference between an old (black) and silver (new) drives ?
Both Seagate, both USB2.0. If they have SATA disks inside it won't matter as the bottle neck is a USB interface not HDD.may i know what is HT? when does this end? what do i have to show them? many thanks. and i saw another is WD 1TB for 175 i think? is that cheap?
HT is Harris Technology
Pls someone scan the receipt for silver freeagent that sold for 135-5% :)
so hmm.. where do i get this? receipt or? sorry for many questions.and when does this end?
Seems HT's offer is over, you may try to call HT to check if they have it in stock w/ price 135. If they do.. I bet you may goto OW to price match, just ask them to call HT.
Called various Melbourne (Mainly Eastern side) stores today with no luck as they all said they had to call the competitor, and even asked me to hold off for 24 hours since HT wouldn't be open due to the holiday.
One store even asked me if my name was Ming or something and said he had been calling around stores trying to price match but they couldn't do it as the product page is no longer on HT's site and therefore can't verify the price.
I also popped into Glen Waverley to try my luck and was served by a daniel douche with a in training tag, but he did everything by the book and really wasted my time trying to explain stuff I already knew.If you guys have any luck with stores in Melbourne, please post up.
Just to answer a few questions in the above posts:
y_owez - as stated previously by another member, Officeworks matches the competitor's price and beats it by a further 5%, but their policy is that the competitor must have it in stock, which we haven't in our case. This means that they dont HAVE to match, but it would be nice to, hence spending my public holiday calling around hoping for some luck.Someone asked about the difference between the old and the new model:
OLD (The one we are trying to get)- http://freeagent.seagate.com/content/Datasheets/en_us_datash…
NEW (The one we all HOPE to get unless we're a lucky bastard) - http://freeagent.seagate.com/content/Datasheets//en_us_datas…Cool.. I went to Elizabeth street OW last sunday and was told out of stock..
For QV OW, even I presented the HT offer (and since that time seems can't link to HT's offer), they have to call HT for stock check, lucky me having bought 2.. though black old version ~Dampires, do you mind sharing your receipt, please send it to [email protected] since I went to OW QV and they cannot find in the internet that shows $135 and even check with the manager and I still couldn’t get it - phone busy from HT end. Thanks.
thanks for the info..
soo…not able to get it? sad..thought of getting it this saturday
to joequimby
thanx for specs but according to rge data sheets old one and new one are absolutely identical : 1TB, usb2, 5 years warranty (I do not care about the color or 10g weight difference). Again I've got no idea what's inside but as they are both Seagates the only difference that we can expect is SATA HDD in a new one. It would matter if enclosure had eSATA interface. For the ones with usb2 it is not critical as usb2 itself is a bottle neck not HDD interface.
BTW got one yesterday (old one) - it was not easy though.oh where u got it? damn.. and im new here and international…. seems like chances are sliim.
Dampires, do you mind sharing your receipt, please send it to [email protected] since I went to OW QV and they cannot find in the internet that shows $135 and even check with the manager and I still couldn't get it - phone busy from HT end. Thanks.
Hi surat, I have just sent you my receipt, just check your mailbox.
Hi Dampires, Could I please also get a copy of your receipt, [email protected]. Thank you really much. Much appreciated!!!
Argghh….I broght the receipt, the guy cannot selling it to me eventhough has the receipt purchased previously because HT no longer selling at that price anymore hence price match no longer valid but thanks Dampires.
ah..such a waste.
But you are now price matching it with Officeworks and not HT. Tell them that.
only available at hawtrhorn, one unit only!
