What's Your Favourite OzBargain Ever!

LUnrvl on 11/12/2014 - 18:26

Simple question. I have been on this site for years (don't comment much though) and out of all the bargains i have purchased, my favourite was the Seiki 55" Full HD LCD LED for $505 with free delivery. Have been using this in my bedroom for the last couple of months and it's definitely one of the better TV's of this site/resolution i have seen. and for this price its absolutely crazy.

and then there's those $5 final days slazenger sales that i love (recently topped by the $1 slazenger sale - that is yet to be delivered to me :| )

whats your favourite?

    Back in ye 'olde days 2009, when OzBargain had really low traffic, no 'reps' and Fishpond was 'realiable'. I got myself a Xbox 360 60gb with Halo3, ODST, Wars for $190 shipped. Took the three games and 'trade baited' at JB Hifi for Mass Effect 2 which I then traded to EB Games with the Edge Card bonus trade value coupon for $96 credit.

    I love all the random freebies that constantly appear in my mailbox. In hindsight, my favourite deal was one I posted myself for cheap Scanpan products. It's one of the rare bargains that my wife actually shared my enthusiasm for and all of the items get regular use and my wife no longer complains about using dodgy and crap cookware from Ikea and Kmart.

    I got that Slazenger sale too, 6 tee shirts for $6 not inl. postage. Really great deal.

    But my favourite was the three months of Audible for $3 deal. (That was on here, wasn't it?) Purchased "The Lies of Locke Lamora" and needless to say it's insane value. I actually usually get a little fidgety listening to audiobooks but the narrator for this is hilarious.

    Since I am a newbie, my list is limited, but the recent eBay 20% off was good :)

  • retiredfeline on 11/12/2014 - 21:29

    Thai Airways return ticket that was cheaper for a few hours due to a system error not adding fuel surcharge. Thai Airways should be saluted for honouring the deal.

    Anyone one here on a while might remember the free chocolate scandal where "winning bars" were identified by the discrete imprint made on the outside of the wrapper. That's what drew me to OzBargain in the first place

    Jacobs Creek mystery flight & accommodation !!

    • Geewhizz on 16/12/2014 - 06:36

      Ditto. To this day I wonder occasionally what they stood to gain from it, but not complaining. lol

      The nearly $150 for parking at the airport for barely more than 2 days was a bit of a shocker though.

      • donga100 on 16/12/2014 - 09:34

        Where did you park?!

        • Geewhizz on 16/12/2014 - 19:16

          Hervey Bay airport. From memory it was $136 for 2 days and one hour. We don't live at HB and had no other choice at the time.

          Wow. Looks like they have reduced the fees a lot since then. It would only cost you $29 for 49 hours now.

          @donga100:

          OMG!! We were trying to find someone who would mind our car for a few days in February - won't have to bother now. Thanks. :)

          Incidentally, they'd be charging us $13.50 for that extra hour on the last day, not $2

          "* $13.50 for each intervening 24 hour period or part thereof"
