Skepticism abounded when Kogan announced last week that it would offer free TVs if customers could find equivalent models cheaper at JB Hi-Fi or Harvey Norman. He’s proven true to his word: Gus at Lifehacker notes that at least four customers will be getting free panels, including (by the looks of it) one lucky Gizmodo commenter.
It would appear that one lucky Gizmodo commenter is amongst the folks who managed to take advantage of Kogan’s offer last week of a free TV if you could spot an equivalent model cheaper at either JB Hi-Fi or Harvey Norman. Ben’s comment on the original story states that he’s expecting to have his TV sent out on Monday. Care to share your shopping secrets, Ben?[Lifehacker]

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your entry to Kogan’s “KOGAN BEATS HARVEY NORMAN AND JB HI-FI – OR IT’S FREE” promotion.
CONGRATULATIONS – your submission has been evaluated and deemed eligible.
Your valid entry arose after JB Hi-Fi responded to our promotion by temporarily dropping the price of one of their TVs by $197. Of course we responded, but this meant that for a brief period yesterday, JB Hi-Fi was cheaper than Kogan on one comparable TV.
We thank you for your entry, and we encourage you to enter again if you find an LED or LCD TV from Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi which is cheaper than an equivalent TV at Kogan.

Monday, September 5, 2011 at 5:03 PMI just tried doing a quick comparison to JB Hi-Fi and very little of the TVs even qualify because nearly all of Kogans have built-in PVR functionality and almost none of the TVs on the JB site have that… :( How did you do it Paul?! I want a free TV! >=)

Monday, September 5, 2011 at 6:20 PMIf I were JB/Harvey Norman, I’d just keep undercutting them by $1 and bleed their stock from having to give away TVs. Even at parity, they’ll still come out on the bottom due to this promotion.
