BRASHS ad 1992

[Chernobyl87]

lmao found a catalog in my roof from brashs today....$169 for windows 3.1 lmao

[roxcyn]

Was this in USD? Those prices are sky high! LOL! 

[HayLotion]

The answer is NewEgg.com!

[azzaman59]

...and 6 years later you went rock bottom dead flat broke

[frankmat]

wow.. the last stereo I actually bought in 1992 and still have it today. $697 sounds about right too.

[peerless77]

$1000 in 1992 = $1600 today.

[jewelrox]

WITH REMOTE! bargain....

[richard20bris]

About the most important thing to know about a VCR back in those days is whether it was both PAL and NTSC compatible.....so it will play any porno tapes you ordered from overseas :-P

[venuecam]

Harvey Norman is the new Brashs. Save your Harvey norman vouchers cos they'll be collectors items in ten years time.

[zpunter]

Brash's was CRUSHED by Gerry Harvey.

[cobrakai84]

hah free 5 yeah warranty for everything over $200. These days extended warranty is where these places make their coin..... when people are stupid enough to buy the extended warranty that is.

[dcau1]

Great ad! Outrageously expensive!

[APH1991]

13 items in his "mad minute."

[Lachlant1984]

God, those TV's and stereo systems are so expensive, but I'm sure they're much better than the shit that you see today, and hes, most of it is indeed shit.

[GanEdenAustralia]

Amazing how big the camcorders are...they look so dated yet the VCRs and HiFi's look like they could be the same today!

[tehnatureboy]

you got to love a video machine for $800 early 90's

[sootyshow]

A five year warranty!  OOOh stereo sound! How amazing!

[77diggity]

ahh memories,i used to drag mum there and look at all the stereos,i only just threw out my sherwood tape deck(from the time of the newcastle earthquake!)musical inspiration-BRING BACK BRASHS!

[penguinsfan626]

Is this spokeman a game show host?

[AccordionManiac]

lol I think this was because he used to be the host of "Sale of the century" now Temptation on ch9.

[penguinsfan626]

This person is Tony Barber BTW.

[sootyshow]

Tony Barber

[genzolorenzo]

didn they sell cds too???

[Converse1977]

yeah they had cd's and that, towards the end they pretty much had everything like you would see in jbhifi these days, they even had a mega store here in melbourne that was bigger and they had everything like hifi, tv's, surround sound theatre systems, computers, etc. I think it was the last shop before it closed.

[genzolorenzo]

christ mate take a breath lol

$300?? haha id say most of this stuff u can buy for well under $200...wow people paid a lot for things we deem crappy today. Seeing as wages would have been quite a bit less in 92 than now, that stuff is quite pricey.

But then again, how much more expensive are the plasmas and surround sounds than this stuff? although even those are going down in price. dvd players - reasonably new technology only cost $150 if u want a decent brand. cheaper if u want a knockoff.

[Inboundbogie]

yea these guys were pretty much the JB-HIFI of its day but yea. I went to K-mart last week and they had dvd players on special for $24.99!!! 1 day only yep everythings cheap today (Thanks CHINA~~) lol.

[mubd1234]

To my old comment (from my old account): I got a new fridge and its a LOT better than the brash's fridge!

[assada]

they went under a long time ago

[AdiRudi]

About 1998 or so.

[ruantengyi]

there are some items on the clip that we can still today but not most of them.

[Converse1977]

Good old brashs. they used to have stores everywhere back in those days, shops like jbhifi weren't big back then brashs was the place to go..don't know why they dissapeared though...was a good shop

[duelist0]

probably cose of the 5year warranty and the no interest for 5 years :(

[yootmannt]

@Converse1977 went broke!!! arse right up...

[jewelrox]

@Converse1977 My Dad used to work at Brashs....it turned into allans music....

[decsternetwork]

i bought a am/fm dual cassette deck at brashs in 1987 for $79 still remember it as if it were yesterday!!

[webtronasia]

I was there the night this was filmed. At Brashs Northland Superstore Melbourne.

[Inboundbogie]

Oh really ! were you there?? as a guest or some sort of studio involvement ?

[quizmaster85]

I remember mistaking a Brashs staff member for Tony Barber once - ah, memories 8-)

[ruantengyi]

Do they still have "Brashs" or is it gone?

[duelist0]

nah they closed a while ago, I was too young to even remember when Brashs was running lol.

[mubd]

I got a fridge from Brashs. Still working.
