Seeing Bunnings were also clearing camping stretchers, which I think we're Roman brand.

Hopefully they aren't going to drop Companion, Oztrail etc like they have with a few other brands.
GMC was dropped for Ryobi and killed that business. Also Tridropped and it ton workbenches were

Ozito were the new GMC.

As of last Tuesday, there were 2 of each left at Burleigh Heads store (sorry, been a busy week :-[), & they honoured the discounted prices from the dockets others had put up here :D :cup: Don't know where the extra 2c crept in though ???

Lady at the Service Desk didn't even pause, she just said yep, we'll match those - don't know, maybe she was the duty manager?

Anyway, here you are:

I think some places denote clearance prices by being so many dollars and 1c, probably why there was an extra cent on your prices.

Try showing them a copy of the receipt & ask if they'll match another store ???

Someone also suggested going in at night when things may be more "relaxed" - that's what I did & it certainly worked a treat! ;D

similar thing to me. I had the copies of the other peoples receipts on my phone...

Penrith (south?) had the power packs at $199 and straight up refused to budge on them. (on a Saturday morning)

I hit up North Penrith the following Friday afternoon around lunch(ish). They still had them listed at $199. But I was buying a couple of other things and asked about the Power Pack and they ok'd it at $90.

There are 4 power packs at Bunnings Bairnsdale. No price indication anywhere, but I found a solar mat which scanned at $149. Showed them Tryagain’s scanned receipt and got it for $75 (thanks mate), so I guess they will do the same with the power packs. No solar mats left - got the last one, broken box and all.

Can’t see why you would have issues, it’s a straight forward parallel setup
Putting it in series could cause issues for some controllers

Victron 75/15.....the latest version has in-built blue tooth, mine is a few years old and blue tooth needs an extra plug in.

Hi All, I have ended up with one extra solar mat. If anyone needs one, it is $149.
Pickup is Coopers Plains or Browns Plains or Jacobs Well area (once a month) or a cunning plan could be hatched with swag mail.
Cheers Iain

Hey All, I too have an extra Solar panel at the end of the day. I only paid $75 for it so if anyone wants it - I am in the Newcastle Area. Otherwise I plan to make use of Bunnings very flexible returns policy :)

You would get $100 for it easily, probably more on gumtree or similar.
