Lucille Bluth on [Box Damaged] Sony X90L (2023) TVs: 75" $2049, 85” $2799 Delivered @ Sony Australia eBay

I agree that box damaged stock is okay to buy, but I disagree with your two points. 1. These are LED TVs, which are LED back or edge-lit…

G-rig on Drop Sennheiser HD6XX US$169 (New Customer Only) + US$20 Delivery (~A$296) @ Drop

Depends on the product. Some are collaborations and are unique to the site. In this instance, Sennheiser had more than made up R&D/tooling…

jasswolf on Drop Sennheiser HD6XX US$169 (New Customer Only) + US$20 Delivery (~A$296) @ Drop

I’m pretty sure they’re exactly the same. A couple of tests that suggested there was a difference in sound noted they compared a new…

rumblytangara on Naturehike 2 Person 3 Season Mongar Camping Tent $119.20 Delivered @ Naturehike Official via Amazon AU

Naturehike wouldn't be far off the quality of Macpac. I'd certainly rather pay a lot less for a Naturehike or Lanshan than the prices…

CharityCase on Naturehike 2 Person 3 Season Mongar Camping Tent $119.20 Delivered @ Naturehike Official via Amazon AU

No, but there are alternatives depending on what you're planning on. If you're hiking, you can often pickup something like the Marmot…

Jasonissm on Helinox Savannah Chair $205 Delivered (RRP $299) @ Amazon Japan via AU

There are a lot that look almost identical to the Helinox Zero, though they weigh a LOT more. If you're ultralight(ish) hiking, certainly…

binscab on Sensibo Sky Air Conditioner and Heat Pump WiFi Controller $69 (RRP $149) Delivered (Origin Spike Customers Only) @ Origin Energy

They have a semi-officially supported HomeBridge plugin. I use that, and it’s flawless.

pinkybrain on Valve Steam Deck 64GB $778.50 ($761.20 with eBay Plus) Delivered @ my-phonez eBay

I think you’re missing the point of the Steam Deck. The built in screen is relatively high DPI, and given its small size, quality…

Exactly. Anyone who can afford an EV should be getting one. Most people can’t justify the $60k+ entry point, but for those looking at…

SBOB on nbn, Opticomm, LBNCo Broadband 50/20 $53.95/M,100/20 $68.95/M,100/40 $77.95/M for 6 Months (No Contract, New Customers) @ Exetel

We’re more like $70/month for gigabit. Even 2000/2000 is $129NZD/month now. The cost of living crisis has hit everything else, though.…

AlexD commented on How Much Should I Pay for New Tyres?
It really depends where you are. I typically spend ~$650 to $800 on a set of tyres, but it varies hugely between make and model. You…

I disagree! I have a Mi Box, a Chromecast with Google TV, and 2 ATVs. The Apple TV is noticeably faster and more reliable. Every streaming…

TheCad on Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse $109 + Delivery ($0 with eBay Plus/ $0 C&C) @ The Good Guys eBay

Depends. I have an MX Master 2S at work, and just upgraded to the 3 at home. The scroll wheel is a lot nicer on the 3 - when you flick the…

Tried to grab one at the Wellington store last weekend, but everywhere was out of stock. Eight 4GBs were left in the country, so I got one…

ash2000 on Breville The Dual Boiler Espresso Machine $899 C&C /+ Delivery ($855 in-Store Negotiated) @ Good Guys

I have the Oracle, and I’m very sure it’s a 58mm portafilter - it’s identical to the one from the BES920. I always get my milk/coffee…

MrKnowItAll on Logitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless $160, Edifier S350DB $299, Edifier R1700BT $129.60 & More @ Wireless 1

I paired mine with three dongles. Works perfectly. Exactly the same process as Bluetooth, except I used unifying software.

Kangal on Apple MacBook Pro 13" M1 Chip 2020 $1889.99 (RRP $1999) @ Costco (Membership Required)

I think this would be representative, were all apps run through Rosetta 2. It’s not misrepresentative displaying native ARM benchmarks,…

Treasurehunter on 15% off Apple Products (e.g. MacBook Pro 16'' 9th Gen i7 512GB $3299, i9 1TB $3899) @ Wireless1 eBay

Pretty sure it’s from the original price, but it depends how it appears on the invoice. With eBay sales, you’re effectively paying full…

I’ve always had great experiences with Apple, with several examples. I’ve bought multiple iPhones, a few of which have had replacement…

luketechfast on Gaming PCs: R5-3600 2080 Super [16G/480G/B350/750WB]: $1649 [Plus CoDMW Code] / R7-3700X RX 5700 XT [16G/B350/480G]: $1399 + $29

Could you post some estimated rates here? Almost ordered from your eBay store, but very tempted now and nothing listed on the site!

No. The point is that these have audio outputs - instead of providing video/audio over HDMI, they exclusively provide audio, and over…

entropysbane on 2 for 1 Beyond Burgers (Buy One, Get One Free) @ Grill'd for Mondays in September

Have you ever actually had a vegan in your face about dietary choices? Most people I know who are vegan are super quiet about it, and…

I’ll check in here too, as an IT professional experienced with both. I need a phone to make calls and run apps I want to use. I don’t…

Used YayAnotherAccount https://wn.nr/UZWWXb

I don't think it's worth negging because you disagree with the price. The deal itself is the best price available for a Steam key at the…

MITM on Our area ‘finally’ got NBN and now I have to pay more for slower internet with downgraded infrastructure. Yes. It’s insane.

NZ is also a decent comparison - a LOT smaller, but more spread out population, with huge spaces between. Gigabit is <$100/month, and is…

skido on [eBay Plus] AirPods 2 $99, Google Hub $99, Dyson Fan $359 (OOS) | Google Home $59, Cybex Mios $569, Dyson Hairdryer $385 @ eBay

How? I only get the “Watch” button until the exact time.

AlexD commented on [eBay Plus] AirPods 2 $99, Google Hub $99, Dyson Fan $359 (OOS) | Google Home $59, Cybex Mios $569, Dyson Hairdryer $385 @ eBay
Got the error message at 3:00:01 saying there was an insufficient quantity after clicking buy it now. There must be scripts running - no…

Was going to comment this! Same as the Golf, comes with a longer warranty, and the MY19 even has the Active Display! You could add some…

T1OOO on Logitech MX Master 2s Wireless Mouse $71.20 | GoPro HERO7 Black $398.40 | Nintendo Switch $375.20 (C&C) @ The Good Guys eBay

If you meant “does the middle button click like a normal mouse?”, then yes. The scroll wheel can’t be pushed side to side, because…
