TamTam Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Any recommendations for appliance stores in Brissie. My short term rental doesnt have a fridge so I am looking at buying a bar fridge in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The usual names: JB Hifi Harvey Norman The Good Guys You can also look at Gumtree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggen Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Facebook market place is also full of second hand items for very reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 In Australia you can often ask for a discounted price at white good stores. Or price match if you find it cheaper elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 ALWAYS ask for a better price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamTam Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Do you straight out say “can you give me a better price/discount”? @RedPanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to beat about the bush. If you have any kind of leverage, like you're buying more than one product, or another store has it cheaper, anything at all, just ask if they can reduce the price. I think the practice is so widespread that they expect it. Nobody is embarrassed about it. It's not like offering a bribe or asking for something rude or illegal.

Riekie Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Also try these guys: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/ Their prices are always cheaper, they deliver for free and remove your old stuff for free. I bought heaps of stuff through them for the office: smart TV's, dishwashers etc and never had an issue. You get it the next day if you order before a certain time and sometimes even same day! All their stuff are authentic and brand new in the box! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yup! I totally forgot about them! And I bought my tumble dryer from Appliance Online! *facepalm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE: Just had a look and see that they've cut their brand range back quite a bit. Pity! Edited July 3, 2018 by greggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekie Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Yeah, you've got to shop around to get the best deals. Sometimes prices can differ up to 30% and older models suddenly becomes very cheap as soon as the newer one is released and it is practically the same thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also look out for the "store damaged goods" that they usually put out front at Good Guys (haven't noticed other shops doing this). It's usually a tiny mark or dent somewhere on the appliance that makes them sell it at a much lower price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamTam Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 With a little one in tow shopping around versus doing it online has a new meaning 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
