On a recent thread, a user wrote about how they were frustrated that they were not able to get a Telstra $30 sim card for $10 . He pondered whether he can just buy it now, await another sale, refund the original, and buy again for the sale price. Sure, I guess you can but […]

It has got to be one of the easiest competition on OzBargain so far — just guess a number and you could win a Microsoft Explorer Mouse with BlueTrack Technology. It’s so easy that some actually forgot to take out their calculators. What Kingwang26 said in the comment was actually very correct — the hints […]

Guys at Pingdom has written an interesting comparison on Apple pricing between US, Europe and Australia. Like the Big Mac Index, their “Apple Price Index” used the price of Apple products to calculate the purchasing power parity of nations.

Woke up to a great bargain this morning. ShoppingSquare has won HitWise‘s Australia Top 10 Online Store, so they are offering $1 Postage Site-wide until Monday 21st January, excluding the Computer IT category!

HP Colour LaserJet for Under $150

scotty on 09/01/2008 at 11:02 pm, filed under General

I like to talk about my ever-so-reliable laser printer, a Brother monochrome that has lasted me almost 8 years now and is still going strong. Paid around $600 back in 2000 and thought it was a bargain. Colour laser printer? You probably need a budget of a small car back in 2000 to ever consider […]

Getmac Free Shipping with PayPal

scotty on 28/11/2007 at 11:31 pm, filed under General

I blogged about Getmac over here more than 2 years ago, when it wasn’t even known as Getmac. It was the cheapest authorised Apple reseller in Australia that I could find back then, and it probably still is although I have not been tracking the price lately. An EDU discount can probably still be cheaper, […]

Ever since Apple iPhone was released in US back in June, there has been a great anticipation on when it is going to be released in Australia. According to unofficial sources on the Internet, we probably will not see this most desirable Apple gadget in Australia until sometime in 2008. Moreover it is likely that […]
