These are businesses that pretend to live above ground but in reality they live way below ground in hell. This is where the sinners live.

My wife just received this email from W. Lane.
.
Hand sanitizer back in stock. Stores closed. Online orders only. Allow 6 weeks for home delivery. Go figure?
Price gouging and it may not have arrived from China I suspect.
Massive shoutout to Pete Evans for selling a $15000 device and claiming it can help prevent coronavirus.
How has this man not been arrested yet for profiting off so many blatantly false claims?

STOP THE PRESSES.
Kogan reduces theiving down to a mere $599.
And whilst you are shopping, don’t miss being robbed blind on other hard to get products.
What an absolure disgrace.

Another way to look at it. 
For the same $599 that Kogan will sell you a 198l, why not buy from the Goodguys a Chest Freezer that is 50% bigger. Big brand names, two choices.
Or
Other retailers likewise will be offering similar good prices to compete. It pays to shop around.

Nothing like an online only retailer to offer consumers lower prices and better deals.
At least there isn’t at Kogan.

One has to wonder about the standards and values and self respect of those who work at Kogan. Those who need jobs to live are one thing, the management that sets the tone is another.
If it was $349 and then magically $1499.99 as @Tardis reported and following @Fred123’s reduction, the Kogan site is selling the discount not the price today. Reminds me of many wine solicitations 
But @mark_m, this product can be a fridge OR a freezer. Amazing! One just need set the thermostat accordingly. Surely worth the premium price for a dual purpose product and the privilege of dealing with Kogan’s famous customer service, and all for only $349, err $599, + delivery unless one was lucky enough to get one for $1499.99.

All I ever hear or read about Kogan is their overcharging and lack of service. I would never purchase anything from Kogan, their reputation has led me to this conclusion.

The growing list of sordid behaviour of businesses seeking to rip-off consumers certainly deserves more attention than being listed here and soon forgotten after the pandemic, especially as the useless ACCC cannot do anything, as usual.
I would like to see Choice create a Wall Of Shame listing all genuine examples so that consumers can easily check which businesses they should boycott on principle.

It is without doubt. Much of Evan’s stuff is lifted straight from the manufacturer’s website which is redolent with snake oil, pretentious gibberish and sciency sounding explanations that mean nothing at all.
As for charging $15,000 … clearly each of these gadgets are hand tuned by generations of monks high in the himalayas and exported one by one on the back of the Bullion Lama who has mastered kharmic flying which is the only known way to get down from Shangri La.

You could have a lucrative future penning wine labels that sell the aura and never reference the product. There are more of them every week, especially on the Colesworth product labels for their bulk bottling with made up vineyard labels.
