Briscoes 1 Day Sale: 60% off Microwaves, More Expensive than before Sale

I was just looking at Briscoes One Day Sale. I thought it sounded pretty good for 60% off on microwaves.

Breville BMO100 Microwave 25 Litre
One Day Sale Price: $180
Price last week: $150

So we got lucky and Google cached the page last week.

Breville BMO300 Microwave 34 Litre
One Day Sale Price: $240
Price Yesterday: $600

Pricespy's History shows the price trend a bit better. Always reduce the sale price to a similar low point for a short time, then raise it up a ridiculous price. The avg low for this microwave is around $200 so $240 is fairly expensive.

Well, I'm sure you all knew this but I find it really quite deceptive and difficult to ascertain when things are a bargain. I just really hope no one buys a microwave for $600. Now that's ridiculous!

  • I've noticed a number of retailers doing this, and I can only assume it is to get onto the aggregators largest price drop lists.

    Crazy tactics…
