Save on Save Dell XPS laptops, cameras and heaps more

eBay doesn’t wait for those big annual sales to offer cheap bargains on tech. In fact, it’s easy to find a great deal on the online auction site every so often, thanks to eBay Australia’s regular 20% off sales.

You can find bargains on a variety of products, ranging from fashion to alcohol, power tools to toys. 

It’s a great incentive for shoppers to keep coming back to the site to find what they’re looking for and snag some savings while they’re at it.

This time, however, the sale is on tech and it’s rather limited, with only a handful of sellers on board. Yet, there are some excellent bargains to be had and we jump hook, line and sinker into it to fish out the best deals. Just be sure to use the checkout code PHASER so you don’t miss out on the savings. The sale ends August 20.

Dell XPS 13 i7 / 16GB / 512GB laptop (Silver) |now $1,999

Dell XPS 13 i7 / 16GB / 512GB laptop (Silver) | usually $2,799 now $1,999

Our favourite ultrabook currently only carries a 15% discount on the manufacturer’s website, but on eBay you can score 20% off an already reduced price of $2,499. This brings the price of the high-specced model down to less than the actual retail value of the i5 / 256GB configuration. That’s a saving of $800, making it quite the bargain.
