Bidding normally means nothing applies. Thats the way I read it as well :thumbs: •If you place a bid for an item rather than buying at a fixed or Buy Now price, the CGA does not apply.	wainuitech (129)
1197605	2011-04-27 22:07:00	So therefore it matters not if you buy even from a real shop like Dick-Smith, as long as you bid on the auction you have no guarantees under the CGA?	Agent_24 (57)

That seems to be the case. However most real shops have a buy now price and if you use that rather than bidding then you would be covered.	Snorkbox (15764)

My local DSE store decided they didn't want to impose buy-nows on their customers. If you get in early first thing in the morning, you can usually snap up a bargain or two, provided some other clever sod isn't in the shop doing likewise. Going later in the day, you're almost definitely going to be paying retail pricing. :devil	Chilling_Silence (9)

I believe I read recently that the law has just been change so that things bought off a professional dealer carries the same consumer guaranties. When it takes effect I don't know.	mikebartnz (21)

1197610	2011-04-28 07:20:00	Depending on the item, it may be parallel imported and thus the manufacturer's warranty is not valid in NZ. The seller could then be offering their own 3 month warranty.	somebody (208)
