| 1390969 | 2014-12-26 18:00:00 | Is it me or are some of the "sale" items not that cheap? For instance, HN had a particular 32" TV, $374 on their sale, Heathcotes have had it for $329 for the last couple of weeks. Although did buy some jeans (online) for $5 each yesterday. |

| 1390977 | 2014-12-26 23:10:00 | The fact that shops can give up to 50% discount, and still make a profit, in a sale indicates the following:- * They normally overcharge (used to be called an Indian discount) * The people in charge of stock control need sacking * The product is no good and they just want to get rid of it * They are going under and have to get rid of the stock * The stock is obsolete * Stock is dumped from overseas branches where it is discontinued or obsolete I am quite happy to pay a reasonable price for an item of good quality with good service backup. I am not interested in discounts or marketing bullshit. I refuse to buy something with a price tag ending in 99cts unless they are willing to give me 1ct change. This saves quite a lot of money! |

| 1390978 | 2014-12-26 23:33:00 | Someone has to take these people - Briscoes especially, for their prepetual 20-80% off to court for false advertising. We are living in an oligopoly, they have been ripping us off since forever and we need a change. |
