OzBargain10 T-Shirts Giveaway - 50 Tees via Treasure Hunt 17 Oct 12PM to 18 Oct 12PM

UPDATE: The second round of OzBargain10 T-Shirts giveaway is starting today at 12PM (17 Oct). Get your refresh key ready :)

Be sure also to check out the up-coming OzBargain10 Birthday Celebration Sale Event thread.

UPDATE2 18/10 9:40AM: All 50 shirts have been claimed. I will be adding another 10 shirts at 10AM.


I was a bit disappointed that no one turned up to our last Sydney meetup when I tried to give away some free T-shirts. Yes, FREE T-shirts, and those are not ordinary orange OzBargain T-shirts. They are limited edition OzBargain 10th anniversary black tees — still there were no takers. So instead of giving out free T-shirts to determined OzBargainers (as there wasn't any), we will be giving away 100 T-shirts to random OzBargainers via Treasure Hunt, similar to what we did in March and last November but simpler. I will be giving out 50 shirts tomorrow (19 Sept), and another 50 sometime in October.

So basically, random users will see OzBargain Treasure Hunt appears in the middle of the page. It will stay there for 15 seconds and then despawn.

Click to Reveal

Clicking on that item to reveal the "treasure", i.e. a black OzBargain10 T-shirt.

Click to Claim

Now click on "Claim" to make that T-shirt yours! In this treasure hunt, there won't be part-items, different types of treasures, etc. There will only be T-shirts (50 of them from tomorrow) so you can pretty much ignore the Marketplace.

FAQs

When are the starting & finishing time for the treasure hunt?

There will be 2x 24-hours treasure hunts giving out 50 T-shirts each.

Treasure Hunt Start Finish
#1 19 Sept 12:00PM 20 Sept 11:59AM
#2 17 Oct 12:00PM 18 Oct 11:59AM

Please note that a T-shirt is added to the system every 30 minutes, except for the first hour where 4 t-shirts will be added. The Marketplace page will tell you exactly how many available items are in the system, to save you time from reloading the home page excessively :)

Who can participate?

All OzBargain users who are not currently in penalty box can participate in the treasure hunt for OzBargain10 T-shirts.

What are the prizes?

A black T-shirt with white OzBargain logo in front of orange "10". Something like this. OzBargain is turning 10 this November. More about the up-coming event later, but meanwhile we just want to give out those special edition T-shirts.

Please note that for each account you can claim maximum only one T-shirt.

I claimed the T-shirt! How can I actually get it?

So you have spotted a T-shirt, claimed it and have added it to your inventory. After the treasure hunt finishes (20 September mid-day), you can then go to your Marketplace page to fill out your delivery details and your T-shirt size. I am hoping to have all 50 shirts posted by the end of the week (24 Sept).

    Woo. Let's hope I find one this time.

    Looks like i won't be working tomorrow!

    Here is an extract of my Opal Activity Statement. I walked from Town Hall Station.
    https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/46870/42639/opal_activ…

  • So is 12pm midnight or midday? I.e has this started already? I need to let my significant other know I won't be available until I find a t shirt

    • 12pm is mid-day. So it's noon to noon, going 24 hours.

      • Thank you Scotty

        • A trick I always found that helped is to pretend it's 12:01 when someone says 12pm..

          Cus 12:01pm it's time for lunch. If it's 12:01am it's time to go back to sleep and stop looking at ozbargain.

    Works on mobile site too? :)

    • +1

      Yes.

  • +1

    if I get to claim one, can I nominate someone else to receive it?

  • I would have came to the meet up but I had uni.

  • That black shirt looks pretty fancy, fingers crossed I am lucky enough to snag one :)

  • +8

    bit disappointed that no one turned up to our last Sydney meetup

    Come to Melbourne, we'll turn up =D

    • Same.
      I lived in Syd before…I chose to move.

      I'd definitely attend IF YOU BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!

    • I doubt anyone would want it, but my TAFE course is over for the next few months, I'm down.

      Actually, that reminds me. The other week I was in the pub for lunch with a mate and his mate, and his mate is a mega cheapskate, I'd heard stories about him before, and he claims to have been the guy who coined the phrase "JV, you've done it again!" on here, which I chose to believe because, well, if you didn't do that, why would you claim to have? There's only so few people who would have genuinely been impressed by it. Which, well, I was pretty impressed.

  • YES my chance at an OzB T-shirt… would've been to the meetup but its in the city and my work is no where near…

  • +7

    Getting bit by a shark is easier than finding this shirt

  • Found one!! Its added to my inventory!

    FYI as of 2.45pm

    Found One :D

  • did you guys find it at the homepage? or is it scattered around the site

    • it was on the homepage directly under the first post

      • oh ok, so I'm assuming it's random (as the OP said)

        • +1

          It is random. schwifty might have just found it on the home page.

  • the middle of the page.

    Which pages? Just deals? or anywhere?

    • mine was directly under the first post on the deals page

  • 5 active in the system but my refreshing isn't getting me anywhere! D:

  • I'm getting a fair few instances of glitches in the page loads showing black frames that disappear when the page has fully loaded.

  • Curious how you code it in, guessing it's some JavaScript.

    35 minutes to go but still 10 to be claimed — I am adding 1 hour to the finishing time so treasure hunt stops at 1PM 20 Sept. You'll be able to fill in your delivery info after that.

    • +2

      I am adding 1 hour to the finishing time so treasure hunt stops at 1PM 20 Sept. You'll be able to fill in your delivery info after that.

      I already filled it in. :[

      Now to buy a sports almanac…

  • Wooohooo! Finally got one, will wear it with pride THANKS!

  • I really must stop hunting for the tshirt and do my uni work…NAH I will keep hunting!

  • still going any clues at all? Please

  • +2

    there was never any shirts and all these people saying they got one are obviously fake accounts scotty created to cover it up.

  • Will give this another try when you have the comp up and running again. Thanks (I think) for the distraction. Now back to uni work.

  • +1

    Didn't find one but congrats to all those who got one

  • +1

    Some have already filled up the address and I'll start posting them out tomorrow/Thursday.

    There should be another small meetup to giveaway T-shirts in person in mid/late October. Maybe one of the uni? UNSW or USyd?

    The next treasure hunt for the T-shirts will be on 17 Oct.

    • +3

      How about come out to UWS at bankstown I will even pick you up at the train station and show you around

      • Blacktown or Parramatta would be awesome, I'm guessing closer to the bulk of the population?

        • +2

          So you're saying the West is fatter than the East?

    • +1

      USYD meetup would be awesome. UNSW is a bit of a trek by public transport, same with other uni's.

      • UNSW is in walking distance from my place though, and we've already had a few meetups there (#1, #2 and a few more). But yes, maybe the next mini meetup should be at USyd. UWS is a bit too far for public transport.

        Maybe the last week of lecture before study week?

        • Maybe during study week would be better - Pretty common for a lot of subjects to have major assessments due in the final week of lectures or so.

        • Wouldn't mind joining if its on the weekends lol… weekdays I am no where near the city

        • +1

          @yoshi864: I thought most people won't be on campus during study week.

        • @scotty: Many students come to study in the libraries. But you have a point, good chance that there'll be more people around in the last week.

      • By the way I am scheduling a USyd meetup tentatively on Thursday 27 October at around lunchtime. I know it's week 13 and many students have assessment due. However hopefully it won't take much time — people just need to pop in, have a chat, grab a T-shirt (if there's any left) and get back to study/meetings.

        I'll post more about it in that week.

        • Sounds good scotty, putting the date in my calendar

  • miss out again……

    • +1

      There are still 7 left… keep looking :)

      • -1

        No

        • +1

          It says 7 still active

        • @adr8: they aren't though.

        • +2

          @TheClipIt: Ok :)

        • @adr8: Just so you know, you are right

        • @Savas: Are you sure because it also mentions last winner was 9 hrs ago?

        • +1

          @adr8: Yep, I asked Hamza

  • I got one. Not sure how i did it. Thanks Scotty.

  • +1

    Where's my shirt bro? XXL please!

  • Oh just saw this post now :/

  • Saw this now. Wouldve loved to get an OZB t-shirt.

  • I prefer the orange one. STRIKING! or salmon for male, pink for female

  • +9

    I troll this site like every day and didn't see the Ozbargain meetup, and didn't see this post until going through forums.

    Need to make them more visible on the deals page Scotty :D

    • ditto, bump ^
      (thos i was too bz for pass few days i only visited once a day)

    • +3

      Need to make them more visible

      I thought we were doing a treasure hunt? Announcement is part of it as well :)

      • For treasure Hunt - Yes,
        But for Meetup - No.
        That could be the reason no one showed up? I did not know about the meet as well. Will be easier for mob in the CBD. For others will be difficult. So though I want to meet u personally, I wont be able to.

  • +1

    Need a like a red flashing forum sign on the front page. Missed the tshirt giveaway

  • I missed out too. I wasn't aware of the first hunt. Have set an alarm for the second round :)

  • +1

    Just realised this finished and I won't have internet connection during the second round… this OzB t-shirt is harder to get than I thought lol

  • Missed it, noooooo! :(

  • +1

    No one turned up in Sydney, because all your loyal OB's are in Melbourne. :-P
    Missed this one, but hoping to snag one in October.

  • The problem is, Sydney.

  • Says 7 active. Are they active or will they be carried over to the next round?

    • +1

      They are not claimed. However treasure hunt is over so those unclaimed T-shirts won't appear on any page. I'll leave them for next time.

      Still waiting for about a dozen people who haven't filled in their delivery information.

      • +1

        Cool, cheers. Increases my odds for next time.

        I'd be more than happy to claim 1 on behalf of those who haven't filled in their delivery information :)

  • Awesome found one. I'm going to wear to my next house party

  • So happy really happy! I found one! Thank you Scotty

  • Just received mine in the mail. Thanks

  • Wow, neat packaging!

    I appreciate the much deeper neck hole than the previous shirts.

    Thanks scotty! :D

  • Got mine today, thanks scotty!!
