Updated- Best Deal You *Haven't* Shared on OzBargain

Hi all,

Recently bought a bargain that was unable to be shared and it had me wondering: how many deals has there been out there that were consciously withheld on this site? With the seemingly cut-throat nature of some contributors here I fear that some genuinely good deals are being missed because of fear of rejection. It could also be that the bargainer did not have the time or convenience available to share.

These would be deals that would fit normal posting criteria (e.g. not clearance/one off lines). In the interest of encouraging an open and honest discussion I would encourage all to refrain from persecution. If you have one to share please add:

Deal:

Reason for not sharing:

Other relevant information:

If we get enough data we could start a poll and look at reasons as to why this happens and resolve to take our bargain sharing to the next level.

Update

Thanks for all responses so far; it seems as if the main reasons for not sharing are (in no particular order):

Fear of down votes/negativity
Lack of stock
inconvenient to post
complexity of deal aquirement
price error
Want to keep deal for self/don't want to spoil deal for continued use
Concerned about work repercussion
I think it would be good to continue this discussion about ways to overcome these reasons (e.g. give an option to post anonymously) to create a more inviting environment to post.

          @Bargitrage:

          You shouldn't just post whatever you find on the internet, and you hardly need a "graduate degree research". If it's not something straightforward, you should at least read the T&Cs

          Hi Ozhunter
          I didn't post on OzBargain did I? As I was too rushed to check it out as mentioned! Unfunded Debitcard was used. Sheesh.
          It IS legit apparently, and I may well get the Ipod shuttle for $1. So all is fine for me, just ozbargainers missed out dont you agree?

          Anyway, it's all 100% fine. Thanks for comment above.

    Anything to do with Telstra pre-paid not including the cheap starter packs…..the starter packs lob on the front page from other OzBargainers almost immediately. Telstra pre paid deals get absolutely smashed on this site and the bargain soon vanishes, so I lay low on those :/

    I no longer post any deals (or even comment on deals) related to my work as I would have to identify as an employee (per OzBargain rules) and I am not authorised to identify as an employee here (per company policies). I see plenty of good deals come up but it's not worth losing my job over.

          Just make another account and disclose the situation to the mods? Or perhaps submit the deal to the mods, so that they can post it. If its a good bargain, be nice if people knew about it.

          @[email protected]: I'd rather not. If anything showed up on here that my company didn't like I would probably be the first person they investigate. I originally thought I was doing them a bit of a favour by generating some extra clicks/business but that's not the way they see it so I now just stay well away from having anything to do with work outside of the office.

    I see some stuff in store every now and then, take a photo, then forget about it when I get home (it's easier to x check if it's been posted, if it's actually a good price from a pc rather than phone). I saw a curved 65 inch Hisense 4k tv at JB a few weeks back for ~$2000, but never got around to posting it. The picture wasn't much chop compared to the panasonic next to it either, so I'm not sure if I'd recommend it anyway. I've only posted 3 things so far, as I thought they were genuine bargains that others would appreciate.

        Many of us don't find any good deals/ don't shop that often.

        If I came across a bargain, most certainly would post it here.

    I think we should make everyone post at least 1 deal/year if they want to be able to click on deals and links. That would make so many people get off their butts (including me lol). I work 6 days a week but if I wanted access to some of the great stuff on here I sure would find something to post - neg/bad feedback or not. Furthermore, any deals people choose to keep to themselves because of hassle/fear of rejection/laziness might go up.

    There's only a handful of members who post regularly and it's not that their deals are great all the time, but because they post so frequently someone somewhere finds use for one of their deals.

    Its seems Ozbargain has grown so large that there are now 100's of unseen leechers/brodens/abusers. I have colleagues who have never contributed yet would snap up 5 or more items from amazing deals. If I can think of 2 people like that I can only imagine how many there really are.

    And think of the number of potential deals there'd be!

    • yacman on 12/11/2015 - 10:02

    I usually see a lot of discounts at the supermarkets (safeway or coles) and don't post them here because I don't live in a main city and don't think many would go out of their ways to just get that discount or if they did it may have run out and would just cost them the trip since the savings I see valuable aren't the type that are store wide, its more restricted to single stores.

    Some recent examples that I've seen in the last couple of months(from Woolworth and coles) include :

    • fill a bag with any fruit and vegetable you want (can fill it to the very top) for only a $1. This was great because they had some amazing cherry tomatoes and other great items to fill the bags with.
      King prawns for $7/kg, seafood mix for $5/kg. a large cup with any salad of choice including seafood salad, greek salad pasta salads etc for a $1
      whole chickens for $3, different types steaks and lamb chops that were 90% off the original price etc (many other deli products that were at leas 75% off and still fresh)
      Mushrooms that were still very fresh and $2kg and you had different types to choose from including oyster mushrooms and some other fancy ones etc
  • mjjeje on 09/11/2015 - 17:50

    Saw a couple of deals but didn't post because I'm not sure whether it is actually a deal for other people. What is good for me, is not necessarily good for other people was my thought.

    Plus I've never read the rules on posting deals so I don't really know what should/should not be included in the post. In the end I saw other people posting the deal here though :)

    • Moderatorneil on 09/11/2015 - 19:57

      FYI, Deal Posting Guidelines.

      The mods and power users fix/tweak most of the deals for better clarity so as long as you know what the deal is and can explain it in basic English, we'll figure it out.

    I find it amusing the people who say variations on "you are thin skinned if you don't like the negs". It takes effort to find a bargain, determine it is something other people might like, and then fill in the forms. It might also require follow up editing if people want further clarification etc. If the post ends up with a bunch of people "negging" the idea then "why should I bother" kicks in.

    There does appear to be a core of people who post here, and I am grateful for their efforts, but there are a number of times I've thought - "I'll post that" and then, frankly, not bothered because I don't want to deal with the fallout. I have no problem with my comments being "negged" but I am annoyed that I'm probably missing out on good deals because people are too intimidated to post.

    The thing to remember is the OPs are doing us a favour.

  • fedwood on 10/11/2015 - 09:11

    I have found a few deals recently that I have also not posted. Unfortunately the first thing that comes to my mind when deciding whether to post it or not is the fallout from actually posting it and wondering if I am going to be abused or not because the deal may have been slightly cheaper a while back.

    I can only assume I will get a "this was 11 cents cheaper in August 2011, no deal. Neg from me!!!!"

  • cannedhams on 10/11/2015 - 11:10

    I once posted a deal to get Battlefield 3 Limited Edition from the EA Mexican server for $17 AUD. At the time this was pretty bloody cheap. Some people pissed and moaned about having to go through a VPN and the post went nowhere. Still I reckon it was the best deal I ever posted.

    On the other hand, one time I posted about some expired Squeeze and Stir soup and I got like over a hundred recs. My first and only popular deal badge.

    I nearly got another popular deal badge for posting a Peppa Pig app free on itunes. JV bitched about it and it got moved to the forums because it was always free. So I lost my ferking badge. Up yours JV.

    • CheapCoffee on 10/11/2015 - 17:32

      Well, free apps are usually not allowed (just because there are so many of them, and the site can be easily spammed with them) but I do agree that it is a bit silly moving stuff when there is so many votes for it already, because it shows that people do actually want to know about it and appreciate you for posting it.

      I have posted some VPN required stuff before and I think most people have warmed up to using it nowadays (esp. with so many free and decent vpn deals floating around), and those who complain do tend to be negged and buried in the comment section.

        Deal Posting Guidelines.

        Always free software, apps, videos etc. shouldn't be posted as a deal. The moderators need to be consistent with acting on these otherwise it creates confusion. The deals don't disappear, they just get moved to the free software/websites forum where all comments and links remain.

    Some things here and there. Usually because I am not sure whether there is enough stock (and it is unclear)

    eg. Squash racquets (they are really cheap from sportsdirect! and they were fast with shipping too)

    However, I do tend to not bother posting some deals that I believe isn't front page worthy. (Not that I post many..) Hence, average votes for my posts are 42.6, but I average less than 0.1 posts per week

    Arbing online bookies "first deposit"/"first bet" promotions.

    Reason for not sharing: quite complicated, limited to certain states, risk involved both of contravening Ts & Cs and also becoming online gamblers if not strong willed.

  • missalicia on 10/11/2015 - 21:35

    I bought the Samsonite 72 hours 55cm cabin bag for $179 (RRP $329). The next cheapest price I could find online was $195. Not really a bargain I thought because it was only $16 in savings but a good deal for me because I had been wanting to buy it for a while.

    I think the most audacious bargain hunter I ever came across was Rene Warmuz. Back in the early 80's he spotted an advert for Magna Disks (5.25" floppy disks) at 50% in an Australian Personal Computer magazine. A pack of 10 cost $29.95. He bought 2000 copies of the $2.95 magazine, paid his brother 50 cents per magazine (might have been less) to cut the adverts out and then fronted up to the outlet with 2000 coupons and bought 40,000 disks. They tried to put him off but he stood firm and they relented as there was no limit stated on the coupons. He then resold most of stock for about $20 a box which to most was an absolute bargain back then. Sadly I just googled Rene and was sad to find that he died of cancer only a couple of years ago. :(

  • Moderatorneil on 11/11/2015 - 13:44

    The mods just had a discussion about some users not wanting to post a specific deal.

    I guess the issue comes down to 2 camps:

    • Those who are associated with the deal such as employees or some other relationship. I can empathize as my previous job had a couple of deals which I would have liked to post however it would have opened up a can of worms. While rare, we have had to deal with a couple of situations where an employee posted a great deal for the company they worked at, only for the management (or different management) to catch wind and order the employee to remove the deal putting their job at risk.

    • Those who can't be bothered, not sure if it is a deal, don't have time, lazy, worried about feedback etc.

    We may trial creating a thread, like this one, where people can post a comment/link about a deal they found. We can also create an email address (or use existing contact form) so people can forward the deals to OzBargain. One of the mods will then redact any personal information and post it as a comment.

    Any user can then post deals found in the comments as a deal. We have a similar situation with Udemy. Deals from Udemy instructors/reps are banned due to the influx of SPAM, so we created this thread where instructors can post their deal in the comments. TA and others go through the comments to pickup any good deals and then post a Udemy deal with a bunch of free courses.

    Thoughts?

      3rd camp: the private hack deals :)

      other hacks

      I had this idea back in 2010 7 years ago but I only noticed now 2 years after it was implemented about it. It needs more visibility.

      Why has it time come in 2015 and not 2010?

    For me, this website is a source for bargain. I have not find any bargain anywhere else. The community of bargainers working really good to save us $$$.

    If I shall find a good deal… definitely share it though. Sometimes, i find a good deal and by the time i come home and ready to post it….it has already been posted with XX likes.

      Wow….and yes I can understand why you didn't post that one.

    eBay auctions - if you are patient enough, you can get some items for significantly less than the 'Buy It Now' price. I've picked up brand new items at 20% of their normal price, just because it was on an auction ending at some weird time in the night. Can't post those as they are hit and miss.

    Weight Watchers half price 3 month membership with free joining fee ($49.95) with $56 cashback from Cashrewards. It was back in October 2015. To cancel you must call. I wasn't sure how this works.

    Thanks for all responses so far; it seems as if the main reasons for not sharing are (in no particular order):

    • Fear of down votes/negativity
    • Lack of stock
    • inconvenient to post
    • complexity of deal aquirement
    • price error
    • Want to keep deal for self/don't want to spoil deal for continued use
    • Concerned about work repercussion

    I think it would be good to continue this discussion about ways to overcome these reasons (e.g. give an option to post anonymously) to create a more inviting environment to post.

      If it's lack of stock or price error, I don't think it should be posted. Not much point when there's a small chance you can even get the item.

      Anonymous posting is asking for spam.

      Looking at recent deals posted, neg votes make up less than 1%.

      With the complexity concern, most products just need the product, price, and website/location. If you do post a complex deal, it should be detailed as there isn't much point posting it if a lot of users don't even understand how to obtain it.

      • spackbace on 12/11/2015 - 17:26

        Bingo :)

        And I really don't think many get put off so much by any negativity. I'm seeing less and less of the "first post be kind" line (even before mods get to it). And jv doesn't seem to be first to comment on as many deals as he/she used to.

  • rambao9 on 12/11/2015 - 19:15

    Best deal I found was 2015 hyundai i20 5d auto active brand new for $12,888 from a car dealer 3 months ago. They had 4 left after I bought mine. I just needed a car at the time and wasnt sure if it was genuinely a good deal or not, just bought it.

    But i recommended a few friends who went a few days later and the best they could do was 14,888. So sorry guys :(

      Here on Ozbargain we don't forget or forgive.

  • backpaqer on 13/11/2015 - 09:22

    The other reason for not posting a bargain is because of the risk that if you do post it, the rest of the industry (either competing retailers or suppliers) effect a backlash on the place you can get the awesome bargain. You might be doing a great favour for us being able to source something way cheaper than normal…but it could stuff up someone's supplier agreement and find they either get shut out or sanctioned.

    A mate owns an Apple franchise and he can give me a modest discount on stuff…but he's quite paranoid about making sure I tell no-one of the deal I get because he would be open to repercussions from Apple for undercutting the status-quo.

    Good thread!

    • I've found a few free product sample offers online, but haven't posted them because they appear to be small businesses and I didn't want them to be inundated with thousands of requests for samples.

    • Another reason: Targeted freebies/samples/resources. I previously posted a freebie - it was some free resources targeted to military and ex-military personnel. I thought it would be useful to some of the people here who are ADF or know someone who is ADF, but a few people reported it and so I requested that it be removed.
      I've since found similar free resources but haven't posted them because they are specifically aimed at people in certain groups eg. those working in certain occupations (eg. teachers), people who have their own business etc.
      It's difficult because I know these offers would be useful to a handful of people, but if I post them they'll possibly (probably?) be abused and the offer will be withdrawn/unavailable for those who would benefit.

    • I also found a couple of great bargains (clearance items) recently at my local shops, but didn't post them. I live on the Bellarine Peninsula and thought that there might not be many OzBargainers down this way compared with the major cities. I work in Melbourne though, and if I saw a bargain on my way to work, I'd probably post it because I figure it'd benefit more people.

    Well, its no surprise to see rationalisation is still in fashion.

    I don't post deals, because most of the deals I find are 'meh' and I don't want to clog up the site with things that might be a deal. Other times I'm not familiar enough with the product to tell whether its a deal (like this lens https://www.jbhifi.com.au/cameras/Lenses/samsung/samsung-nx-…. Normally $400, now $150, seems like a good price, but how many people here own a samsung camera?) or I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy it first before unleashing the hordes upon it. Then theres the (admittedly small) work of crafting the post, formating, uploading photos, checking dupe status etc.

    Alot of the deals I don't post, end up already having been posted earlier in an obscure post, and I'm not sure if its worth highlighting.

      but how many people here own a samsung camera?

      I own a samsung :-)…. (although that was the kit lens with my camera)
