too slow?

$2,971.60

i brought 12!

would most definitely laugh if you get an invoice for $35,659.20

That was quick. Well, I have my receipt for $15 +$40.32 freight. Wonder if they'll honour it?

Nice one tiny, just bring one down for me to the next DDC... I'll shout you a side salad.

If you want to double your money quickly, I'd be happy to take one of your hands for $30

JB should honour it... customers usually get their way. Any qualms, just ask to speak to a manager type person.

haha. nah, i was too late too, didn't see any $15 screens. Texaco! why would you only order one?!

I reckon they'll play the ''Subject To Availability'' clause or some shit... Otherwise this sort of thing would happen all the time with disgruntled employees. Wouldn't it?

tinyman, it would only let me order one. I typed 20 (fuck, why not?), but it defaulted to 1.

''Nearly all items seen on our website will be available at JB Hifi stores. Sometimes JB Hifi Online will offer exclusive items that will ship direct from the supplier and will not be available in stores. If you are looking to buy CE items in-store, again we recommend that you call the store ahead of your visit to confirm availability.''

got a screenshot of the advertised price? might head to harvey norman and see if they'll price match.

Sort of relevant info... was seeing if there was a contact for the JB Online Warehouse... could double check to see if they were physically in stock.

be interesting to see what happens with the two l ordered.

might head to harvey norman and see if they'll price match.

You'd have better luck with Good Guys or Bing Lee

there's been a few cases of this mislabeled online thing before in the last couple of years, just can't remember how they ended up.

Better yet, would be VERY interesting to see if you can claim the bonus 22'' LCD from Samsung

Would you believe in the flurry of excitement, I didn't even notice that Hazard_Man!

JB are saying any reasonable person would realise that it was a mistake, and will offer $1000 discount on the set, instread.

I like how that infers that anyone who took in good faith what they read on the website is unreasonable.

Tex, you unreasonable bastard!

I realise this is an unfortunate character flaw I'll be burdened with for the rest of the weekend at least captain!

meh, i think they should man up, give out the TVs and get some better quality control around what goes up on the website. it's not tex's fault someone had a big one the night before and didn't read their instructions properly.

One can only imagine the further PR they would receive for honoring these orders. According to TV reports the coverage has already been quoted at $300k worth of PR. So they'd still be way ahead if they sent out the 105 TVs.

i dont like this non-sadistic, non-degenerative discussion

more sarcasm and irony plz

especially from you Hoobajoo

As someone said on TV this, in the age of $10 Virgin airfares, what's so unreasonable about a $15 TV?

this morning
It was Lisa, actually.

That's a very astute observation Block (& Lisa).

Hey, she's not Australia's most popular morning TV show host for nothing, Tex.

Email some sort of Lionel Hutz type lawyer, offer him half the proceeds of a sold tele, and get him to do something for you. I bet JB would settle if you started making a little noise so everyone doesn't try it on.

Start a campaign to get Richard Bransononto the case!

Re: the 22'' LCD, maybe go check out the Samsung website to see if it's still up there. It had nothing to do with JB actually, as the redemption scheme was direct with Samsung.

BINGO!!

that should be his name

Bransononto

sir bransononto

:)

i lol'd

...actually i only ltms

Baha!! Totaly missed that one... stupid iPod touch screen keyboard.

I think that's the name he goes by in Japan and Mexico.

watashi wa bransonoto deska

(that is a mangled effort from memory... )

i just googled

it would actually be desu, not deska

but, close.

sorry if this has already been posted...

$500 sweetener for that $15 JB Hi-Fi TV
Asher Moses
July 24, 2009 - 3:03PM

JB Hi-Fi is offering a $500 sweetener to customers who ordered a $15 high-definition television set from its website only to be told later that the retailer would not honour the deal.

About 105 bargain hunters rushed to buy the Samsung 40-inch flat screen TV sets early yesterday.

However, the special price was an error. The TV sets usually sell for $3500 and also come with a bonus 22-inch LCD TV via redemption.

One person was so enticed by the mistake he ordered 65 of the television sets, The Australian Financial Review reported today.

The error was quickly corrected but that did not stop customers from demanding that JB Hi-Fi honour the original price. Some said they received a receipt from JB Hi-Fi by email.

The retailer has now dangled a carrot in front of affected customers to assuage their concerns, promising to sell them the TV sets for $2500 - a significant reduction on the already discounted listed price of $2964.

Amanda Bodger, a consumer protection lawyer with Mallesons Stephen Jaques, said it was unlikely customers could force JB Hi-Fi to honour the original price through the courts.

She explained that, under contract law, when a product is advertised with a certain price tag, this is simply an invitation to the customer, who can then choose whether to make an offer to buy the product from the retailer.

The retailer must then accept the offer in order for a contractual obligation to apply.

The acceptance could come in the form of the retailer billing the customer's credit card or giving the customer a receipt.

Terms and conditions listed on the retailer's website say it reserves the right to cancel any order without notice for any reason.

''In a situation like this, customers would face an uphill battle to bring a legitimate claim,'' Bodger said.

''In terms of trade practices obligations, obviously retailers can't engage in bait advertising; they can't mislead customers, but genuine errors which are fixed quickly normally don't result in any investigation by the ACCC [Australian Competition & Consumer Commission] or any further action by consumers.''

Yesterday, the ACCC said it did not intervene in disputes when there was ''a genuine error or minimal consumer detriment''.

In an email sent to affected customers, JB Hi-Fi said the incorrect price was ''caused by an error with an automated price routine''.

''The advertised promotion of `15% off Televisions' was applied to all relevant models in our catalogue apart from this model, which displayed at a $15 sell price,'' the email read.

This is Asher Moses, anyone know him?

So did anyone get any $15 tv's?

No. I can never seem to get those $10 airfares either... :(
