What Happened to That Gadget Site Listing Today? Gone?

I know that the negged down deals disappear from the "new deals" listings, but if I have commented I can usually still see them if I go to my own comments and then click back to them (there must be an easier way lol)

This one has evaporated. It was some Aussie site selling massively overpriced DX gadgets. Can't remember the name though.

  • This is what you were looking for http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/30756 it seems the mods removed it as there was no bargain.

      I found it via my history

  • King, you should have been subscribed to the thread thus the link would have been in your emails.

    The public mod note was:

    boothr, your deal posting does not specify what the bargain is, other than there’s free shipping for orders over $80. Reduced prices on all items are not considered bargains. This is similar like a hotel promoting “reduced prices on all bar fridge items”, but is it really a bargain? The question is, how does your prices compare to others and does this apply to all your items or only specific items?

    Perhaps you may wish to this FAQ for reps and the deal posting guidelines to get an idea of what our members normally look for in a bargain.

    As a general tip, simple questions that you may want to ask yourself before posting:

    • Do I have a product that cannot be found cheaper elsewhere (inc. shipping)?
    • Do I have a product that is unique to my store and cannot be sourced elsewhere?

    If the answer is a yes, then post the specific item as the deal.

    In your case, it is considered as borderline spamming by just posting ‘reduced prices’, as it can come across as purely advertising. As such , I will be unpublishing this deal.

  • I unpublished that deal as it was more of an advertising rather than a bargain.

    And the mod comment pasted by neil (thanks neil) was from myself. If you did not receive a copy of it through email, you can auto-subscribe to future threads you post a comment to by changing your preference here. :)

  • Cheers guys.
