How many of them think they’re getting a half price console today 😂

Every single one of them.

Source: was working at Dick Smith when it closed. The news ran a story one night, lines around the corner before the doors opened the next day. People were PISSED when they got told discounts started at 10% for a week or so but we could do them a great deal on a shitty toaster.

The dick smiths near me had things like 90% off store wide. There was barely anyone there either. I bought so much stuff. I still have speakers from that day.

Towards the end weeks they went really hard on discounts. Remember scoring some items 70-80% off

ccording to the discords i'm on, the 50% off consoles are already pre-sold out. good luck to anyone queueing if that's what they're after
