Limited stock it seems but you can pre-order (?) or get it delivered (still worth it).

Tried to get two but only one was available for pick-up at my local store in Sunshine.

Surcharges: 1.2% Card & PayPal, 2% AmEx.

UPDATE: Looks like a price error, its now at $191.

    Thanks, ordered 2 for cold storage backups because why not at that price. Probably won't be honoured for pre-order stock though.

    • Averell on 30/01/2023 - 11:14

      Same. Got two. I'll on the search for a pre-order NAS :)

    They probably meant $29 off. If you're around Bendigo it's worth a shot otherwise will probably be cancelled for pre-order.

  • 303-Acid on 30/01/2023 - 09:55

    If they have to bring stock in and its abnormally low price then I don't think its going to go through. So no bargain.

    Thanks OP. Doubt that it'll be honored, but you never know. I ordered a couple.

  • Yanoflies on 30/01/2023 - 10:08

    It was $29 at the check out but I ended up charged the full price.

    The confirmation screen definitely said $29 too, bad system.

  • Blackcat2 on 30/01/2023 - 10:08
    +5

    They automatically charged me full price to $584.. but when I clicked the order, it was $87. Nasty.

    Have to call in to cancel because you can't do it online?

    • snoopydoop on 30/01/2023 - 10:15

      I'd probably send emails as well so there's a paper trail you can send to your bank if you need to do a chargeback

      Make sure you have evidence of the original price too

    • rainbowyen on 30/01/2023 - 10:18

      Called them and cancelled, waste of time, lucky I paid with paypal, so if any further fuss I am more secured.

      Why when sometimes amazing price errors are honoured.

      Stupid take/10

      • Breno785au on 30/01/2023 - 17:07

        Yeah, as if there was a chance that centrecom was going to honour selling a 6tb drive for $29

  • Blackcat2 on 30/01/2023 - 13:30
    +1

    Called and cancelled. Annoying. Not honouring deal/price is one thing but automatically charging to higher price is just another level. What a d*ck move.

    • juki on 30/01/2023 - 14:09
      +5

      not really, if it is an obvious price error just cancel rather than charge full price, as full price was not indicated at moment of sale. it is a dick move to just slam people with full price.

      • i did not seek to purchase this
      • i do think price errors should be honored unless it puts the business in jeopardy, better quality control, better stock management.. especially IT shop websites are so clunky in aus
      • magic8ballgag on 30/01/2023 - 14:13

        Yes really. It was quite obvious that the price was incorrect, and people still decided to go ahead with the purchase and try their luck. They gambled and lost.

        • juki on 30/01/2023 - 17:41

          the decision to bill them full price still happens after the price error and the decision to buy without even consulting a customer. One could argue, the company gambled with the savings from not having safety nets to avoid price errors

          • JoeBogan on 30/01/2023 - 18:03

            @juki: Gambled with the savings? HAHAHAHA wow the entitlement in this comment is rife too

            • juki on 30/01/2023 - 23:16

              @JoeBogan: yeah it was kind of a stretch I'll admit to that but at least use "entitlement" correctly, it doesnt even make sense in your reply… (to a point i dont even think you read what you are commenting on).

              as mentioned above and below, I'm just against the company billing the full price, that they take advantage of the 29 bucks is sort of acceptable or a little more understandable. Even if in my opinion, if its your job to sell stuff, its your job to ensure you are putting up the right price

          • magic8ballgag on 30/01/2023 - 19:58

            @juki: It's only fair, right? They tried to take advantage of the business, so the business returned the favour.

            • JoeBogan on 30/01/2023 - 20:44

              @magic8ballgag: Yep most of not all people that bought this knew it was a price error

            • juki on 30/01/2023 - 23:12

              @magic8ballgag: so playground tit for tat is ethics now? or as my gran would put it two wrongs dont make a right

              no they made a mistake, yeah sure people try to take advantage but we all know that if it is a recognised error the purchase wont be honoured. The company just adds another wrongdoing by in return taking advantage of their customer. Furthermore I am not familiar with aussie consumer law but shouldnt the price that is purchased the item be displayed for a proper contractual agreement. If not why display a price at all?

              Please understand i am only against the company billing the full price, that they take advantage of the 29 bucks is sort of acceptable (although some may say it is just a ruse to bolster their cash flow)
