Hi all,
A warning to anyone buying Lego from Harris Scarfe. In the Hobart stores
some of the Lego have dual price tags showing the current and post GST
price. On some sets the price goes UP with the GST whereas I'm almost
100% certain all Lego should go down (currently has 22% wholesale tax
which gets replaced with 10% GST on retail price). Mosts sets did go
down. (Out of interest a ~$45 set seems to drop around $3)
I took the increased price sets up to the counter in the Hobart City
store but the sales droid obviously didn't have a clue what I was
talking about, I suspect he put them straight back on the shelf after
I left. Must go and check next week.
Is anyone aware of any reason for some Lego to INCREASE in price or is
this a case for the ACCC? Maybe it was an innocent mistake to start with
(got the tags the wrong way around?) but if they don't try to fix it
then surely that's profiteering from the GST.
