Someone cleaned out the last 9 at Bunnings Pakenham on Friday. They were all sitting in a trolley with a power pack after a phone order.

Bird... would this be your mate from eBay?

How many on here knew they existed before a week or so ago!

Most people shop Ebay these days as the bargain place - not many would look for camping solar panels at Bunnings did/would they?

If I could buy them for $75 I would be flogging them off on eBay also to make some extra money.

Interesting that bunnings have a few others ... might be worth waiting for them to be on clearance at those prices..

https://www.bunnings.com.au/projecta-12v-120w-portable-folding-panel-solar-kit_p0088847

They are special orders, so they only order them in if you want one, so no stock and therefore no clearance likely.

After reading this thread ive bit the bullet and grabbed one for $80 at Victor Harbor, SA Bunnings. They werent keen to drop the price but i had a few screenshots from previous posts and told them other stores had sold them for $75 so we agreed on $80. There were approx 9 left..and yes the lady asked me if I was going to flog them on ebay too!!

My thanks to Coolblue 80 for the receipt copy, it enabled us to prove the case for a $75.00 purchase price. I travelled 1 1/2 hours to find a store with stock and they stated that each individual store Manager has the say on deleted stock prices and it would be $149.00 per blanket. We eventually won out and purchased 2 at $75.00 each. For anyone who strikes a similar stance have a close look at the Bunnings price matching policy, don`t just rely on the first paragraph consider the whole policy, under the circumstances I decided it would be a bit cheeky to try and enforce the 10% additional discount.

The receipt was the `clincher`

Thanks from me also for the receipt copy! I went to the Echuca store on the way to work, the camping area had been totally replaced a while back by the look of it. At lunchtime, I went to the  Shepparton store, and found one mat left on the shelf! It was marked at $149, but I went up to the information desk and asked the nice lady there about price matching another Bunnings. She rang the floor manager, told her it was in the computer as a deleted item, and that other stores were marking it down to $75, and the manager gave it her ok  :cheers: :cup:
There were 3 in stock according to the system, but only one on the shelf, so I suspect staff had gotten the others. All of the battery packs were gone also - they'd been marked down to $199.

So huge thanks to all of you that posted about the $75 markdown!  :cheers: :cheers:

Keysborough have four left, after I grabbed one.

Got it for $75 although still advertised for $149 on clearance.

The operator said they can 1/2 the price on clearance items without getting managers approval hence where the $75 comes from.

Does anyone know if the power packs are still available anywhere in the Melbourne stores? I have to come down to Werribee on Sunday/Monday for work, so I'd love to pick one up while they are cheap. Or if anyone has grabbed one too many lol  ;D

Many thanks!
