I've had 30 promo emails from Dick Smith so far this month.
Normally if I see a (local) company in continuous sale mode like this, I would wonder whether they were in financial strife and trying to generate some ca$h.

Common sense is not as common as you think.
joker97: Briscoes sales are 20 40 to 60% off that's why

KiwiNZ: I don't think a week goes by without sales with Harvey Normans, Noel leemings , Dick Smith and JBHIFI. It is a very competitive industry with minimal margins so they are all trying very hard to maximise volumes. We shouldn't complain the consumer wins with regards to price.
I have purchased quite a bit of stuff from both Noel Leemings and Harveys and never pay the ticket price.
linw: I've been wondering about the continuous stream of emails as well. Seems a bit suspicious. Bit tiresome as well.
KiwiNZ: Geeks are not DSE target market

richms: But you dont win with price at DSE, thanks to pricespy and smartphones it is so easy to see what things should cost when you are in store, and they wont budge on price.
IMO the dick smith is a waste of space at the mall, only selling small-medium low spec TVs, overpriced low end laptops, small external harddrives (they had no 3 or 4TB ones when I last looked when they had a "sale" and the 2TB were $10 more than PB) and a whole lot of really overpriced phone accessories for their minimal range of mobiles.
And an iron. WTF DSE, an IRON?
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
There is also nothing more annoying than staff coming up to you every 5 minutes asking if you need help, which DSE is bad at.
