| 462226 | 2006-06-11 10:47:00 | I would buy from Renaissance (http://www.apple.co.nz). If you are a tertiary student you can buy from tertiary sales (www.tertiaryit.co.nz) Even if you could buy a G4 (I think tertiary sales might be selling the last ones), they are just so much slower compared to the cheapest Intel Mac it isn't funny. The macs are not cheap though (I was just looking at the price of Applecare which extends the pathetic 12 month warranty to 3 years and ekkk!). |

| 462227 | 2006-06-12 06:15:00 | What made you do that?! If it had $1200 on it then $1200 is what they have to sell it for. By law. No of course not. World wide it is accepted that mistakes will happen. eg (1) Years ago a local house where I lived in the UK got offered with the decimal point in the wrong place. No way was the owner expected to sell at one tenth its value. (2) I was writing computer articles in a local paper and my article got messed about with a bit, plus an advert I had in for a program I was offering VERY cheaply appeared in the wrong place. It could appear as though I was offering a $100 game for $5 Only one idiot took the view that he was entitled to a $100 game for $5 - came round to my house - left a letter with $5 and when I rang him up threatened to sue me if I didn't supply the game! I was a pensioner who got $50/month for my articles, and I even had to pay for the programs I wrote about. I always regret that I posted his money back to him - I should have made him call round again and ask for it at the door. Tom |

| 462228 | 2006-06-13 06:04:00 | The price tag is simply an "offer to treat" and the seller is not obliged to sell it at that price, or to any particular individual (provided that the refusal to sell at all is not a breach of human rights etc.) Refusal to sell might occur when the prospective purchaser was found to have a poor credit rating for example, or could not provide acceptable ID for a credit sale. Anybody can buy for cash! Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 462229 | 2006-06-13 08:04:00 | got to Noel Leeming and found a label that said intel mac 1 . 6Ghz 60Gb hard drive all such good things for $1200 . thinking "wow that looks very good", then noticed that the laptop was a G4 powerbook, "thats odd, i thought the new intel stuff was called macbook" checked the specs in the OS and its a Mac G4 1 . 33 with a 12" screen . asked the sales person what the real price was . he came back after 5 minutes witha price of $2300 . we voiced that this seemed a bit hight for such an old unit, he siad well that the price end of story . we came back 30 minutes later and spoke to another guy and ask much the same questions, he said $1700, we vioced that that was a bit high, he went away to check and come back with $1800 down from $2000 . at the end ot the day we had an offer of $1800 for a laptop that was discontinued over a year ago . . . . . . . not going back there . . . . . . . Sounds like this one: 12" Powerbook 1 . 33 ( . acquire . co . nz/acquire/default . asp?PageID=ProductDetail&pf%5Fid=491682&dept%5Fid=1000020" target="_blank">www . acquire . co . nz) Pretty sure Renaissance have put price protection in place so stores can clear the old one's . . . . . . . . but in saying that were still showing the recently discontinued 1 . 83 ghz macbook for $3799 . 99, I'd let our last display model go for $3400 . 00 to clear it though :thumbs: To be honest I'd think THEY put the incorrect price ticket out OR a customer may have moved it there . . . . not un common . 2nd time around you may have got a sales person who didn't want to beat around the bush & offered you a clear out price after seeing what the retail was & the fact it is an older model . I've had to take a few things back to them (electrical stuff, not comp stuff) . . . staff know nothing but will swap faulty products on the spot if they can find them (had to go look on the shelves myself) . Got to remember though retailers (weather it be Noels, Harvey's, DSE) often are not the repairers . . . . . . customer expect a replacement or refund on the spot , how does the retailer know it has been impact damaged, or water damaged? . . . . I've often seen it with cell phones were the customer throws a huge patty, insists on a replacement & refuse's to be resonable, store give's in & replaces it, customer goes on there way happy with there new cell phone & the store sends it in for repair/replacement only to get it back un-repaired with a $55 charge & "water damaged, corrision visable . . . un-economical to repair" on the repair docket :annoyed: I was just looking at the price of Applecare which extends the pathetic 12 month warranty to 3 years and ekkk! Harvey's & Noels offer cheaper extended warranties (3 year & 5 year) BUT don't include unlimited phone support like applecare . Cheers KiwiMR2 |
