Day one deals I grabbed / saw: (2 Dec)

PlayStation TV $50,
Razer DeathStalker keyboard $50,
Turtle Beach P12 headset $24.50
WatchDogs for XboxOne $20
COD Advance Warfare XboxOne $20
PS3 500GB GTA 5 Bundle $200

Here's an imgur album with some of the game pricing from day one: http://imgur.com/a/dExzY and Razer pricing: http://imgur.com/rvp5bIB

Suggestions that it will include TV's and Laptops although there is some debate about whether this will be tomorrow or Saturday when the sale is supposed to begin. The staff said they only found out today's pricing last night.

Lots of discounts are not marked on shelves, ask to see today's discount list. Featherston St and Manners St both let me read the discount list which allowed me to quickly scan for the best deals (They compare the new price to the previous price and the amount of stock in store).

Finally - be patient with the staff. More than one store I was speaking to said they went in at 6.30am this morning to re-ticket everything and still weren't done. Apparently they ticketed a bunch of stuff yesterday that changed in price overnight so they had to redo it this morning, they're talking needing to reticket like 700+ items today.

    There's also a seagate 1TB portable HD on sale for $49 if you can find it in stock. Johnsonville had 4 but my mate got 2 and the person at the next register grabbed the other two I think. Can probably find out product code if you're planning on taking a look tomorrow.
    - coolstorybro on 05/12/2015 - 00:26
      
      I managed to pick up a 2TB portable HDD, couldn't find any of the 1TB Seagates..
    - asmcar on 05/12/2015 - 00:27
      
      @coolstorybro:
      
      Apparently the 1TB seagates are in the old packaging so the newer ones on the shelf won't scan as the $49 price. I wasn't after any though so i'm not 100% sure.

Auckland stores may have some $99 iPad Mini 1st Gen and iPad 4th Gen in stock.

  Newmarket has display model Gen 4 Ipad in stock for $99, still there an hour ago.

    and you didnt get it? =O
    - Sam91 on 04/12/2015 - 22:10
      
      I did! Didn't even see Toddy's post until this evening. Surprised it hadn't been purchased, considering I was there after midday.
    - Toddy47 on 04/12/2015 - 22:21
      
      Yeah, I'm real broke at the moment. Ended up buying a home theatre for $119 after checking out the whole store 3-4 times.
    - Sam91 on 04/12/2015 - 22:38
      
      @Toddy47: Did you get the Sony bdv e290? I saw it behind the counter. It seemed like a good deal, but I couldn't find any indication of its actual value online. I also went around the store multiple times, and spent far too much time there : ) There was also a HTC One M8 for approximately $80. It sold while I was there.
    - Toddy47 on 04/12/2015 - 22:50
      
      @Sam91: No, but I think that was the one I was going to buy if it was in a brown unmarked box. I opened had a look everything was in there told the guy to be it aside then instead found a brand new unopened Sony bdv-2100 which wasn't marked with a price but scanned for $119.
      Edit: I googled it and they appear to be the same models so the one you saw was likely the one I was going to buy until I found an unopened one in original box.

      HTC One M8 for $80 - ex demo/display?
    - Sam91 on 05/12/2015 - 15:05
      
      @footy7: Yeah I think so, or it was a returned item with the box open. I doubt it was brand new and unopened.
    - jarj on 05/12/2015 - 15:05
      
      @footy7:
      I got it. One was refurbished, the other one was new (returned)

Macbook Air 11.6 - $699
S5 Cases - $1 or $2

Tablets - $29 or $49. (Nearly all gone).

Asked for the discount list, theres an asian guy working there who is being really difficult (probably as hes getting no commission today). Might try again later.

    Yes sorry i was there around 9am but only managed to post around 10.30
    But i got the last ipad mini 16gb cellular for $129. Saw the other ones had 1 or 2 available on the discount list.

Might be worth setting up the alarm clock for this weekend:

"There has been speculation in the Australian media that Dick Smith is preparing to launch a "70 per cent off everything" sale this weekend."

  It's almost definitely the sale that has been ongoing for the last few days, a bit of correspondence on OzBargain from staff that it is not going to be 70% off store wide.
singh on 04/12/2015 - 13:32

I don't think they really had any good deals, but I only went to Featherston St yesterday afternoon and only looked at the video games.
- congngo on 04/12/2015 - 15:27
  
  The gaming section at Featherston is pretty much empty.
  Some Ps4 eye but I don't think that are on sale.
  - asmcar on 04/12/2015 - 15:42
    
    Gaming sale started on Wednesday so most of the good stuff was gone by Thursday pretty much.

Picked up brand new sealed box Sony BDV-E2100 for $119, normally $499
Lot's of surround sound and soundbars on display, but keep an eye out for the sealed ones, I almost bought a display until I found the exact same product in a sealed carton unmarked at the other end of the store. Not even the staff realized it was the same one.

Is it store dependant?
I asked about the Kindle at Featherston, they have stock but they weren't marked down :(
- asmcar on 04/12/2015 - 15:41
  
  It's the previous model of kindles. So not the ones on display the previous generation.
  
  When I was at Featerston they only had one of the $29 Wifi/3G touch ones and it was damaged and didn't seem to boot up so I left it. Probably still there but not 100% if it even works.
- Toddy47 on 04/12/2015 - 15:41
  
  No, it should be sku dependent. Most of the clearance stuff is discontinued products such as older Ipads.

I went to the Manukau store today, they had a lot items marked down using non-orange stickers. Noticed in the cabinet they had Bose QuietComfort 20i in ear headphones for $200. About 4 pairs in the cabinets.
- asmcar on 05/12/2015 - 00:33
  
  So far in this sale i've seen the yellow clearance, the green Christmas and the red sale stickers used. It seems to be they use whatever they have so look at the 'savings' rather than the colour.

Any word/confirmation if there's further sales tomorrow etc?
- Kiwi on 04/12/2015 - 18:25
  
  Apparently so, all the existing prices should still be available if there is stock.
  
  If you ask the media, the whole range of stock is "70% off". I'd imagine there will be plenty of people queuing tomorrow to score some bargains and leave extremely disappointed.

  There are very few product lines that haven't already been marked down. The only ones I can think of are computer accessories, TV/PC/AV cables, and electrical gear. Apart from the possibility of even further discounts on top of current ones I doubt there's too much more to get excited about
  - Dunno on 04/12/2015 - 18:29
    
    that's what I was thinking, most of the good stuff(cheapest laptops, tv's, tablets, gopros etc) should be now gone
Avantime on 04/12/2015 - 19:09

Comment from staff: Dick Smith is clearing ALL GAMING ITEMS. So no more gaming gear for Dick Smith from now on. Games, Headsets, Consoles, accessories etc.

If you're on the lookout for a PS4/XBone, it could be worth waking up early tomorrow, and call the stores.

  Yea, you get some like that, it doesn't take much intelligence to work in such positions (Not that that's a judgement on all who do, but the benchmark isn't very high).
  - footy7 on 04/12/2015 - 21:46
    
    I was told not everything was on sale, so I suspect each store/branch is different? Perhaps stores that are not performing well will have steeper discounts (to clear stock)

      Everything being on sale was simply what was reported in the media, this sale seems to be just older stock/clearing lines like gaming.

Anyone willing to buy and send an Asus Nexus 7 32GB to Melbourne, Australia?

  Likely all gone by now.

  Postage probably cost more than the unit itself

I was actually wondering, did anyone happen to grab a cheap 10.1" tablet keyboard case? Doesn't matter what model, if you aren't planning to use it, might be interested in buying it off you. If you did, PM me, cheers.

  Weren't on sale yet for 10 inches. 8 inches were on sale though. Which region are you in NZ?

      Permanently in Thailand or just on tour? Will have a look around today. Gonna head in at 8am.

      @bigbosssnake:
      
      Can you update if there's anything new included today that's a good deal? Not planning on going in but can always be swayed by a bargain!
      
      You in Wellington?
