Australia Based Deals / Info / Links / Discussion

I just bought 4 x 30Q batteries with MM's coupon from BG for $25.20 Aussie. I thought that was a good deal in todays market.

The wifes going to hit the roof with how much the BLF comp light build is costing when we have a big bill on the credit card from my US trip still to pay of.

All my life the $AU fluctuates between US$0.60 and US$0.80 in normal times. This is the range where its meant to be, at times it can be a tad under US$0.50, but its rarely above US$0.90 (until recently). The reality now is not that the AU is doing badly, its actually the US$ is recovering. The reason we hit parity, even surpassed it wasnt due to an exceptionally strong $AU, it was largely due to a weak $US.

I’ll be getting those batteries too mate, was a new BG coupon code made? Can you post it here or PM me the code? Might get 8

Heres the link to MM's thread.

Heres MM's link.

Samsung INR18650 - 30Q 3000mAh (non-aff)

Code: M4D4BLF price: $ 5.84

Thanks mate, ordered a bunch

Oh dear:

Dear Benjamin,

Thanks for your email and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

For your order 7977824, the coupon M4D4BLF used for the items 2xSKU136605, SKU151996,2xSKU071426 and SKU232544. You have bought the item SKU232544. It can’t use the coupon code.

Hope your kidnly understanding.

Best regards,

Lisa

I'd suggest you point her to the thread linked above. They must of sold quite a few of these batteries with that coupon.

Yep did that. Also said that if they aren’t going to refund the difference to cancel the order

Maybe we can trade internally on here? Anyone have a Convoy S2 365nm to offload?

I bought one of the 30Q batteries using Martin’s code and his Aff link. No problems encountered with the correct discount price appearing. I just tried again and it comes up as $5.84 so the coupon is still active for SKU232544

4 of for 24.60 (US) - 5% for BLF

gives us after converting (http://coinmill.com/AUD_USD.html) AU$31.69 - ouch

Anyone interested in trading my SR Mini Intimidator for your Zebralight SC62W? Due to the value differences I’m happy if you throw in two 3400 cells to make up the difference. I have the box and whatever it came with; pouch, attack bezel etc.

I don’t have a zebra light to trade, but I do have a Nitecore EC25W brand new in the box. Also I dont have any 3400mah but I can throw in a AUD25 Spend anywhere coupon to buy a pair if you are interested?

I don’t have the SC62, but I do have the SC52, PM if that interests you at all

Thanks for the offers guys but definitely after the 62 for its impressive size:out ratio. Have the 600FW and its terrific.

Did I here correct that we are going to be charged GST on all orders coming in from overseas under $1000.00?

Seems likely, Fed and State tax summit have leaned that way. It was mentioned before hte sumit, and now seems likely going by the media reports. Funny, Gerrry Harvey and the like pushed for it when Gillard ran the show but she said no to it. It costs more to collect and police than it brings in so there was little point. The proposal is now to have the foreign seller add the charge into the price and I guess pass it back to Govco.

FKN insanity !

Local retailers dont get to rip us a new one , so they want the Gov to FK us over ..

They want overseas retailers to collect GST - Good luck with that one Commies ...

Think about it , why did we bother with so many wars about freedom , and now we are just giving freedom away for nothing !

I guess things do change !

Perhaps we should start a campaign to avoid certain Traitorous retail outlets ..

I still fondly remember 500 to 1000% mark ups before the internet ...

Aaaah the good old days you got to rip off locals big time .

For those that have trouble soldering like I did stumbled upon solder flux in a syringe at Jaycar about 12 months ago. This product transformed my soldering overnight. Lately it appears to have gone of so decided to purchase another syringe full. Bugger, Jaycar dont carry it anymore. Alltronics was just down the road so decided to pay them a visit. Yep they have it and though the picture is different to Jaycars the item itself is identical. A quick test and it works perfectly.

I only mention this as I guess I'm not the only one that has trouble soldering. The other thing that helped immensely was to change the pointy tip with a chisel tip on the soldering iron. This change alone made a massive difference in the ability for the iron to hold heat and solder larger items.

U dont use resin cored solder ?

Just depends on what your soldering as well ..

Solder does not take well to oxidized surfaces , so you need to clean the surface ( A good flux can do that - but they are evil ) .

The other way is to manually clean the surface ( sharp knife or something - file perhaps )

If you need strength - silver solder ( will need flux for silver solder )

If you need resin cored solder - I have some ..
