Last time it lasted the whole day.

Also JBL E500bt and e55bt are R999 as well.

Sennheiser seem better purchase with NFC and Aptx?

Edit: Could not resist, watched Youtube review on both but went with Sennheisers.
Will use them with my Sabaj Dac + iPhone and Bluetooth with Apple TV 4 for when kids and wife in bed.

For that price id honestly much rather stick with the Phillips Air Fryer range. It's been tested, it's trustworthy and very much worth the price.

That one you linked just looks like it's going to fall apart after a few uses.

What a good price for the Sennheisers . I paid double that a while back. But was still totally worth it.

Yeah this one says oven which is why I asked. Looks different than the open units so don't know if it works differently.

Today on Takealot:

It's actually a pretty good price if you were thinking of getting a telescope. I have a similar one and it's great.

Takealot are scammers. Few weeks ago they were selling this for R659 on special stating the normal price as over R700. Normal price at Makro is usually R599.

Yeah, they've been caught out before, I honestly hate this practice. I don't trust their "special" pricing at all anymore, often they just inflate the original price so they can give a bigger "discount"

That is a powerful scope.
Have to get used to the equatorial mount first.
It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

IMO the trickiest thing is that the image is actually inverted, so you think to adjust up or down or whatever but then the moon moves in the wrong direction :)

Who cares? Something's either a good deal or it's not. If you don't know what the normal going rate is, and you don't like the look of the "special" price, just don't buy it.
I've found loads of really good specials on TAL, and I've also passed on many that "looked" cheap but I knew were not. Common sense.

They are scammers because they will issue you a unique voucher and tell you , you have until the 31st of august to redeem it, and when you try to redeem it they will tell you voucher is not valid.

Shrug, no idea. Haven't seen a TAL voucher for years. You never mentioned it in the previous post. I'm sure you're right, but that's not gonna stop me taking advantage of the good prices when they come around.
