Just wondering if the posting of catalogue deals should be banned.

      No, but i vote getting upset over ozbargain comments and then posting forum posts about it should be banned

      Posting Justice Warrior comments… I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)

  Personal opinion but catalogues should be allowed if it contains a proper deal of some sort, so a list of items underneath which are great price would be good.

  If Aldi were selling Nintendo Switches for $100 via their catalogue, I doubt many or any would be 'negging' it. It's a bargain to be had, then it should be posted even if catalogue, or store advertising material, etc.

  I would rather see Harvey Norman press adverts banned. Every day the Melbourne Herald Sun has anywhere from 4 -16 full page adverts. The huge cost of which (after manufacturer rebates) is simply added to the consumer prices

  Well, not if they are full of 50% off bargains!

  I thought we were talking about paper based catalogues but just poorly phrased and I was down for that. But linking to digital catalogues, so what.

  They are going to stop delivering free compost? It is pretty good for putting on top of the worm farm to avoid flies laying eggs etc. and keeping things moist.

  I used to get catalogues posted to me years ago and now I only seem to get them around christmas time. Does anyone know how to get department store catalogues mailed regularly?

  If Aldi are proposing a genuine sale item/bargain, then yes by all means make a post to highlight the bargain.
  If Aldi are selling something that can be had at retail pricing form any other shop 24/7/365 then its not a bargain.

  Of course it's okay in OzValue ozbargain spirit. It is tagged as "long running deal", especially for unique yet generic item which you can find similar & cheaper items in eBay BUT not the exact same model
