Companion 125w solar mat at Bunnings

[loanrangie]

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 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!

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.

A bit of profiteering?

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.

Have seen a couple pop up on another forum for $200 "brand new still in box"!!!

Any issues running this type of parallel connection with each of the mats solar regulator/controller?

[lloydus67]

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.
