Is this a good price and TV as far as budget TV's go?

I've never owner a TV so won't have anything to compare it against.

Yes indeedy about 1k less

I was just randomly browsing around and noticed that they have the Apple Pencil FIRST gen for R4K... the first gen is 'only' R2399 at the iStore...

The second gen pencil is a little cheaper though... very odd.

It’s like they just imported the importitall db.

Can't compete with the $2 Kindle ebook specials.

Yeah but we could always buy those, this is for when I’m buying physical copies, and I do prefer physical.

Meh, they want me to insert an ID. bummer.

 

[FaSMaN]

Ok they are definitely adding more and more, especially from when I checked at 7am,
Though if you go to gaming and consoles you still only get this, plus a placeholder

Can confirm they are editing prices and items on the fly, this Xiaomi TV Stick was R999 this morning now R699

Decent price:

The product specs for the 43" Hisense also make no sense. Is that a 120hz or 60hz screen? It states both in the listing

That's for the TV license

It's 60hz, it's the A6k

Yup definitely are as prices early this morning were pretty much TAL prices.

 

[Strange]

They have Tiffen filters (for camera lenses) locally in stock. Had to import those before. Pretty niche, but welcome addition.

Yes its a good price for a 43" inch only way to beat it is to go noname on takealot, they are about R2400ish (for noname/rebadge)

 

[RedViking]

That's for the TV license

I know. My friend doesn't want a TV license. He is very sad now.

 

[rambo919]

Can't compete with the $2 Kindle ebook specials.

Given that this is actually a lifetime rental because of the Amazon ecosystem lockin.... depends on your priorities.

 

[Dante9231]

Nice price for the 43-inch A6k, might pick one up just for 4k. No local dimming or quantum dots but you get what you pay for

Your house can burn down as well and you lose all your physical books.

Life is risk... on the other hand if your ebooks have no DRM you can back them up anywhere

Strip them out with Calibre and bob's your uncle.

Used to work.... not anymore unless someone cracked the system again.

 

[IssiAmd]

Placed a test order, let's see how it goes. Deal items I bought seem to be substantially discounted, unlike Takealot
Delivery shows tomorrow so that's great.
Now, if they can add the option of paying in eBucks...

 

[RedViking]

What happens if you accidentally entered the wrong ID on amazon when placing an order, for arguments sake, lets say someone ordered a TV.
