MediaSpy User Demographics

They did when the show was on the air. You might be able to score an old one from ebay.

ETA: Found a generic one on Amazon.

Here you go.

You might be able to find a Tony Barber or Steve Oemcke version a lot cheaper.

Or Rob Elliott or Ernie Sigley.

Another random poll at best
If you had to go to one of these three, which?

  • Harvey Norman
  • JB-HI-FI
  • The Good Guys

Certainly JB. I’ve almost only always had good experiences with them, especially pricing-wise.

JB, you’ve done it again!

Looks like you’ve topped a Media Spy poll.

Chose HN because I feel their professional atmosphere is great - plus they generally sell more? because they have more categories

They are mighty professional when they rip you off, I agree :laughing:

We only have one of those, 1 hour drive to JB or 3 hours to the Good Guys compared to 30 seconds for HN. Easy choice.

Ah I’m on my phone and hit Good Guys by mistake rather than JB.

At least they’re the same company.

These comments are based on my local stores in Bathurst, I’m sure experiences vary across the Country:

JB stores always seem to have an abundance of stock. There is always something new to look at and plenty of it. Lots of gizmos and gadgets as well. It’s always a great in-store experience.

The Good Guys are great for appliances and kitchens. Stores are nicely spaced out and open. That’s about it.

Harvey Norman here is rubbish and usually expensive in general. They have great big ticket furniture items, but other then that, I rarely go there.

TGG & JB have the same parent company, they’re just targeted to different demographics.

Don’t be fooled by JB’s price perception, they have a carefully crafted store model / aesthetic to ensure people perceive that they’re cheap, but in fact, especially in recent years with less and less competition they can be significantly overpriced.

However, if I was to pick the three I still prefer JB’s layout and product mix.

Haven’t seen too much overpricing but they’re definitely not absurdly cheaper like they once were, but I’ve only ever paid ticket price maybe once or twice, generally you can get stuff cheaper if you ask for it.

I picked JB, obviously :slight_smile:

I believe Kmart Australia is opening “Anko” stores in the US, which is their own brand in Australia for most of their stuff.

The Anko stores in the US (which are being closed down) were apparently a trial run for the smaller format Kmarts that will be taking over some Target Country sites.

Lucky they’re not associated with Big W because a Big W-anko collaboration wouldn’t be good. :stuck_out_tongue:

There’s a perfect motto to go with that somewhere

Time for another poll…

When you go grocery shopping, do you:

  • Take your own bags with you
  • Buy your bags whilst there
  • Carry things out with you / put back in the trolley
  • Get things home delivered
  • Don’t do grocery shopping
