        Thank you for the heads up - also contacting their CS team now

        I got worried about this too but I just received my order confirmation for the Ender 3 Pro (not the V2) for 127.28 NZD.

        Doesn't look like I've been charged yet, though.

        I guess I'll just wait and see what happens next.

          Got charged NZD127.28 and got shipping confirmation from DHL. Looks like it's coming from the UK.

          Excited!

      • chep on 08/05/2024 - 17:25

        I just got a confirmation email with the price at $110. Haven't been charged yet though. Made sure I have undeer $200 in the account I paid with.

        • chep on 09/05/2024 - 17:12

          Mine has been shipped and I've been charged the correct price.

      If you guys are going to pay Full price plz don't there are printers like the Sovol SV06+ that I have and you can get the Klipper screen for a similar price when they are on special. Auto bed leveling etc such a price printer I like mine haha :D

    This deal from last month is even better now - https://www.cheapies.nz/node/46762

    Xbox Series S (White) + 24 Month Game Pass Ultimate Bundle $479
    Delivery out of stock, pickup only @Spark stores
    https://www.spark.co.nz/online/shop/products/xbox125033spo/

    At the time of this deal going live, Game Pass Ultimate was $21.95/m, which means $526.80 for 2 years. The Xbox alone is $549 RRP normally selling in stores for $450-$500 on special.

    As of Wednesday this week, Game Pass Ultimate went up to $28.95/m, which makes it $694.80 for 2 years, a huge increase.
    Also, this version of Game Pass includes Game Pass for PC, xCloud streaming (play Xbox games on Steam Deck/Tablet) and Console pass. It also still includes Day One releases for the next 2 years, e.g Call of Duty Black Ops 6 in November. The new Game Pass Standard $21.95/m launching in September will NOT include Day One releases.

    If you were ever on the fence for locking in Game Pass for 2 years, now is the absolute time.

    EDIT: Also to confirm I purchased this deal from a Spark store on Thursday this week outright with no active Spark NZ connections or accounts, so they definitely sell it outright and not on interest free terms.

    • jackvdbuk on 14/07/2024 - 19:39

      Nice analysis

    • Avatar on 14/07/2024 - 22:13

      Yes got one outright when the deal was posted. Note they charge a fee for credit card payments but not for zip payments. You can't get the xbox x without a spark account though as they link the gamepass to your spark account email. At least that is what I was told

    • pinch on 15/07/2024 - 17:05

          I would rather buy from dicksmith. Direct shipping seems expensive around $39+ depending on size/weight. I could be wrong though, as didn't actually register so if that changes something I don't know.

          • Everettpsycho on 15/11/2024 - 11:31

            @ace310: Also seems like they now sell on mighty ape as well, stumbled on one kf the HP towers on there at the same price as dick smith. Makes sense with mighty ape pretty much being a clone of kogan now.

    • whatsmynameagain on 14/11/2024 - 06:30

      Ordered as well. Is the price a typo? Did a quick search and even refurbished units are $120+.

      • kiwijunglist on 14/11/2024 - 06:49

        It says it is refurbished in the listing.

      • Alan6984 on 14/11/2024 - 09:44

        Is the price a typo?

        The price doesn't look too low / unreasonable to me. We flick off ex-business machines for similar prices, especially if they only had 4GB of RAM (which I think this one did before it sold out).

        With 8GB I would look to get about $60, maybe up to $80.

        If you got two of these with 4GB each (and they are identical, or at least the same RAM), you might be able to pull 4GB from one, and put it in the other (if there are sufficient slots - it is likely 2 x 2GB so there would need to be four slots), and you'd effectively get a 500GB spare drive (and as spare machine but I wouldn't put much value on that) for very little.

        Having said that, I think we might have a number of 250GB drives around here somewhere that are brand new (still sealed), and I doubt I could sell those for more than $10 each, so not even worth the effort of trying to find them (assuming someone hasn't already turfed them out!)

        Refurbished doesn't really mean anything. We 'refurbish' ours too - means we wiped and restored the factory OS (Win10 Pro), and gave it a physical wipe with a damp cloth! We might, but not necessarily, have removed the stickers that a certain type of person likes to 'decorate' machines with :-(

        The only thing that might make me wonder if that they appear to be based in Aus, so I would have expected the freight costs to make it non-viable for them. Maybe someone will confirm their purchase was shipped.

        • justaddwater on 14/11/2024 - 10:13

          what do you use to remove sticker?

            @justaddwater: One of the best option is hair dryer.

            @justaddwater:

            what do you use to remove sticker?

            Piece of plastic - if it scrapes up and off easily, that's fine, else… meh.

            We aren't going to bother pulling out the label remover spray for these :-)

        • tacobaron on 14/11/2024 - 10:50

          Would one of these work ok as an emulator for older game systems plugged into a tv? Want to set one up for my kids in the playroom since they're using my pc for it atm.

            Couldn't say for sure - would have to depend on the requirements.

            If these are ex-business machines, then usually no graphics cards - just onboard graphics.

    2024 Mach-e RWD (the 78 kWh version with a LFP battery). has come up for sale at $46k in Whakatane. I assume ex demo (2500km).

    Previous $45k deal on Mach-e RWD was for 2023 built stock, and the vast majority had the smaller & less durable 75kWh NMC battery.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/ford/mustang-mach-e/…

    Only one listed. And an epic deal. a 198kW RWD medium SUV should not be selling in the same ballpark in terms of price as a top trip corolla hatch…

    • Bill on 20/12/2024 - 13:13

      Wow, this is the kind of deal I would buy first, think later. Unfortunately, 46k means I have to think first, buy never.

      • scott on 20/12/2024 - 13:20

        I feel bad for the people who brought the 75KW NMC RWD car for $79,990 at launch in early 2023. 50% depreciation in under two year is very steep.

      Just picked one of these up this week. Managed to get the same model with less than 100km on the odo.

      Vehicle is brilliant and there’s nothing else on the market in this price bracket that’s even comparable IMO.

      Btw you get 5000kms of RUCs for free and up to $400 of chargenet credit (some dealers only do $200 I’ve heard).

    Warehouse rolleston has a handful of living and co heat pump dryers labelled at $349.97 as managers special. Confusingly also had a $679.97 label on them too.

    I can't find it on the warehouse website but at $350 that's a very cheap dryer, let alone a heat pump one.
