xaykogeki on 10/05/2021 - 11:15

Can be anything - cheap or expensive, from OzBargain or not.

I'll start with a copper bolt action pen" from Modern Fuel. 20% discount pre-order bonus + 10% discount.

    I bought a cr2016 battery for work a couple of weeks ago, it’s shiny.
    Might buy some ammo next week, it’s also shiny.
    There might be something else but that’s about all I can think of in the past 6 months.

    • xaykogeki on 10/05/2021 - 11:37

      Like actual ammo? lol

      • Daabido on 10/05/2021 - 21:29

        The shiny pen is not necessarily mightier than the shiny stuff that needs a real bolt action.

    There's a few Holos in some Pokemon Cards I got recently.

    • xaykogeki on 10/05/2021 - 11:39

      Can't believe how much pokemon cards are still going for. I still got some first gen cards that needs grading. Not Pokemon tcg related but tcg discussions always reminds me of the time my cousin has 3 black lotus from MTG back in the 90s on a sliver deck.

        I've actually just purchased a Dragon Ball Booster Box and looking at the card quality/art.. it all looks amazing haha.

      Whats the best way to sell /value cards?

      I have about 15 Holo cards, marked as 1999 wizards, only 1 is first edition. All perfect condition.

      • pongie on 12/05/2021 - 16:51

        Alpha, Beta and Unlimited (first 3 editions) contains the most valuable cards. However, foils (holo) weren't introduced till much later (Urza's Legacy)

        • andyfc on 12/05/2021 - 17:47

          Sorry, I'm talking Pokemon cards?

          • Intoxicoligist on 12/05/2021 - 19:53

            @andyfc: 1st edition is where the money is, and condition plays a big role in it.

    Does a fancy notebook and a keyboard count towards something?

    • FireRunner on 10/05/2021 - 11:47

      Does it reflect light?

      • iridiumstem on 10/05/2021 - 12:06
        +31

        Well I can see it so I am guessing yes?

    • cfuse on 11/05/2021 - 22:04

      If the keyboard isn't mechanical, then no.

      • iridiumstem on 11/05/2021 - 23:36

        Fortunately then, yes it counts. It doesn't have backlighting, but it was for my missus who needed a quiet keyboard for work.

      My partner is tired of me saying that Red Rock Deli's sweet chilli chips is the best ever lol.

      • Sleuth on 10/05/2021 - 12:45
        +20

        Wish they were a little less sweet and a bit more chilli.

        • elanda on 11/05/2021 - 08:48
          +11

          Have you tried Kettle Chilli chips with jalapeño and red chillies? All heat, no sweet.

      • Chandler on 10/05/2021 - 13:07

        Thins Smiths Thai Sweet Chilli is (was?) better

        • trongy on 12/05/2021 - 22:46

          Red Rock Deli is a brand owned by Smiths Snack Foods (part of Pepsico Australia which is owned by the Asahi Group) so I'm guessing that those Sweet Chili flavourings all come out of the same vat.

      • diddy50 on 13/05/2021 - 14:26

        That's because the Kettle Chilli chips are better

    this citizen auto was a recent shiny 'steal' at $99:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/613351
    the contrast between the polished and matte sections of the stainless steel are impressive…the face also has a nice deep black which also appears either gloss or matte depending on the angle

      Definitely a bargain. That's how much people pay for 5-6 battery changes in a normal kiosk lol.

        How about some Svalbardi Water? I hear it's fricken rare and has the taste of snow in the air.

      • Tekon on 10/05/2021 - 16:36

        Flippy Square is a maybe. I'll pass on the Svalbardi lest I lose touch with the common man.

    Nitecore NU25. Shiny and much lighter than my previous 3x AAA headlamp

    • skillet on 11/05/2021 - 11:21

      And soooo lightweight! I've got a yellow one love it!

    • Telios on 12/05/2021 - 10:08

      What did you pay for it cimrak?

      The prices seem to fluctuate wildly depending on ebay/gearbest/other places.

      At one point I saw a local seller for $35ish.

      • cimrak on 12/05/2021 - 14:05

        I paid $51 for it on ebay. Not the best price, but I needed it quickly and has some paypal credit to use up

    • dracothraxus on 12/05/2021 - 21:54

      An excellent, lightweight head lamp. Only frustration would be a preference to easily set custom lighting levels, the mid brightness setting is slightly too dark for my preferences (running at night for example) and the top one is overkill.

      • skillet on 14/05/2021 - 11:03
        +1

        Same here, I find the warm white too bright, I can make a driver with custom functions but unfortunately the light is sealed. Maybe when the battery dies…

    A car last month. V8 Grand Cherokee. It's an awesome all-rounder. Fuel bill is not politically correct though.

    Ideapad flex 5 laptop off Amazon.com. US spec is way better than what's available here. Great value laptop even after postage and GST.

      Was that the $900+ one?

      • Blargman2001 on 11/05/2021 - 15:32

        No, was about AUD$1000 for one with a ryzen 4700u and16gb ram. Lenovo AU wanted $1200 for one with an i5 and 8gb ram.

          Yup, it's f'ing awesome. Perpetual calendar and the hour/minute hands are luminescent. Was a great deal at $249. My only minor concern is the glass sits slightly proud of the bezel (obviously part of the design), so may be susceptible to chips - but hopefully the sapphire glass does its job.
