Hi fellow ozbargainers..

Hopefully this beats the old coles deal "2 Chooks for $10"

Found this deal on line think it would have to be the cheapest 8-Way Surge Board around at $0.01!!!
click and collect to!!!
good luck.

P.S. If your going to just get one pay by cash!!! :)

    Lol, nice find

  • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 13:18

    edit: so can we actually get this for 1c without buying norton?

      yes i did.

      • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 13:40

        have you got the product yet? or is there a chance you will get a call/email (like the others) saying you now have to purchase Norton?

  • Paul Atreides on 13/01/2013 - 13:18

    says this is a bonus with norton 360 5user

    • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 13:21

      ordered one yesterday… received a call from a dicksmith staff : offer only available if u buy the norton 360 5 user.

  • Roary on 13/01/2013 - 13:23

    lol great. I dont know what I just bought

    Bonus M 78101 With XS1410 ?

    • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 13:24

      M78101 is the surge board
      XS1410 is norton software

  • thedriver on 13/01/2013 - 13:23

    This is a promotion that requires purchasing Norton 360 5 user license for $99
    http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XS1410/norton-360-multi-devi…

    Good deal for the surge protector IF you are buying Norton 360 5 user pack. Otherwise, on it own (as posted by the OP) this is NOT a deal.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 13:26

      return Norton means return the powerboard

      Btw, there's the $40 cashback from Norton. Details here: http://au.norton.com/now/en/AU_SITE/pu/images/Promotions/201…

      Personally I wouldn't recommend Norton. If you want the powerboard, why not just buy it for $20 click and collect?

  • Roary on 13/01/2013 - 13:26

    Would you be able to buy the Norton and pay 1c and get the bonus offer and return the Nortons? Or can they force you to return all the products you bought

  • djfish31 on 13/01/2013 - 13:29

    I was able to buy these on there own…

    • darthhasbro on 13/01/2013 - 13:32

      At which store?
      Can you give us a copy of the receipt so we can show other stores?

      • djfish31 on 13/01/2013 - 13:35

        Traralgon and morwell got the deal at both stores! Can upload receipts if people don't believe me :(

        • darthhasbro on 13/01/2013 - 13:36

          Upload away, then there can be no doubt

          what did Kate and Sarah say when you were buying these powerboards for 1c??

        • djfish31 on 13/01/2013 - 14:05
          +2

          They said it was crazy and it was part of an old bundle.
          The other DSE employee put some aside for himself

        • Macgyver on 13/01/2013 - 14:16

          I suppose you have to do click and collect? I can't just go to a random Dick Smith and ask for this?

  • mr_vino89 on 13/01/2013 - 13:31

    could you buy one norton 360 at $99 and order 5 surge protectors for 5 cents? lol

  • ugoagogo on 13/01/2013 - 13:40

    they wouldnt just be giving out free power boards by themselves

    I put an order. But just a minute ago, I got a call for a shop in QLD said it's not available for individual buying. You have to buy ….. If you have any problems or need more information. Please give us a call..

    End of the story.

  • macduff on 13/01/2013 - 14:29

    A pack code like this is not intended to be used without the main product (Norton).

  • unity1 on 13/01/2013 - 14:48
    +8

    Posting the receipts does not legitimise the deal. It clearly says Bonus Surge Interceptor 8-Way Surge Board with NORTON 360 Multi Device 5 User, It also mentions the powerboard can be purchased seperately for $29.

    This is relying on incompetent staff to make the same mistake that 2 previous incompetent staff made.

    • berger on 13/01/2013 - 15:28

      Thankfully there is a lot of incompetent staff these days.

      • NosDan on 13/01/2013 - 15:39

        This is relying on incompetent staff

        if DS pay there staff peanuts they are going to get monkeys as the saying goes. i have no sympathy towards DS for anyone who managed to get this deal. i rolled the dice and tried my luck at the elizabeth (SA) store with no luck.

        im certainly not going to downvote this deal (or the OP) caus he was lucky and let other people know that maybe they could also be.

        • RangaWal on 13/01/2013 - 16:54

          I do have sympathy for the store staff if they get in the shit…

        • berger on 13/01/2013 - 17:15
          +2

          Maybe they should have a proactive attitude, alert the store manager that this is happening. Then they won't be in the shit.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2013 - 17:46

          nah, coz then they cant put aside a bunch for themselves

  • djfish31 on 13/01/2013 - 15:15

    Oh well hope some other members got this..
    looks like i am not going to beat the old 2 chooks for $10

    Deals like this only encourage people to take advantage of price errors, good luck to anyone that gets one, but since this deal is beyond obvious it's not a deal on its own, I don't think it should be posted here as a deal

      Any one know whom to pester on this matter?

      write a series of very angry letters (not emails) to DS head office, each letter outlining how you intend to never shop there again and how your going to talk to your team of lawyers about suing them back into the stone age because they refused to sell you $20 power boards for $0.01…….

          get your kids to also write DS head office some angry letters. im sure they couldnt sound any more childish…… :)

      Click and collect orders are not a contract to purchase until the store confirms the order, so you've got nothing as the store did not confirm. This is taking advantage of a genuine error, if you have kids I'm glad you're teaching them some great morals

    i think this thread needs a lil mention of one particularly famous person at this point. Darth vader (the character your user name is based on:) is somewhat related to him thematically in many ways. Hitler. And we are done. By the way Darth, this thread has closed as the deal is now dead, just like Hitler and Darth
    Vader (of the Star Wars series by the way Darth I was not referring to your death in any way). Cheers Bro

      pretty sure i saw both of them working at hungry jacks back in the free whopper days but it was to much of a challenge for them.

      i just heard they are now in the process of applying at mcdonalds…… :D

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 13/01/2013 - 19:07

    Nice scam OP - not surprised it couldn't be replicated. You've done well, 6 powerboards for 6 cents.

    The powerboards aint bad either…

      If only this was a HN deal. Would of been awesome to see Gerry crying foul on ACA about online professional scammers trying to shut him down by stealing all his Monster power boards that retail at $700 a piece.

  • aiyoyo on 14/01/2013 - 10:00

    I just got 1 today…i guess is just lucky since i can see the guy who serve me called the store manager in the first..and finally just give it to me withing giving me any receipt(Dont know how can i claim for warranty if needed later since it come with lifetime warranty).
