TOMTOM ONE XL InCar GPS available from DSE, normally $597, now $585 (save $12).

That's a 2% saving - whoop'd

DSE's pricing can be a bit bizarre at times. Anyone else noticed that the 512MB 1G iPod Shuffle only costs a measly $75, but the 1GB 2G iPod Shuffle will cost you a whopping $75?

Hmm, I heard these amazing stories about how staff members sell themselves iPod Touch and mobiles for $1 on cost, or something. Some loophole that they use everytime.

Haha! That sounds like a big problem! I asked one of my mates who works for DSE, and he has never heard of it. I wonder how widespread it is?

The person who decide the pricing for dick smith products must be a real genius, the 1gb flash drive are about seven bucks cheaper than the 512 atm too, I just wonder if anyone is stupid enough to buy the 512 instead :P

Well, let me tell you this: it happens in the real Westside. Not some borderline wannabe-West suberb like St Lukes, but in a place that seems to have twice the "West" in its name. If I, a minor, can understand that, surely GZ's older members can. I don't even read mystery novels! I dunno if it happens everywhere, but I can only speak for the actions of the aforementioned West store. Westside.
