June 2021 Transparency Report: Updates, Top Deals, Comments, Forum Posts, Members of The Month + Other Stats

Welcome to June Stats.

June 21st and 22nd was Amazon Prime Day where 7/10 fastest deals to the front page were for Amazon. It was also our yearly treasure hunt.

Our Instagram is now pushing a good bit of traffic to OzBargain but I've discovered that there are a few #OzBargain videos on TikTok. Like this one from the owner of Sydney Luggage showing businesses how to post a deal or this one queueing up to buy an ALDI dryer. Seems Instagram is heading towards promoting Reels over photos so may need to think of some bargain videos.

    Missed out again

  • Most voted deal from dealbot was Free Game Control from Epic Games

    For a moment there, I was upset that I missed out on a free video game controller!

  • +2

    About 30 of baysew’s edits were on that 30¢ ebay outrage post… :D

      He deserves an award for dealing with lunatics constantly I think.

      • +1

        The 3 of us were called out… so I better reply to acknowledge the confirmation bias.

        • Ha didn't see that, not sure what I did to him. I think the real question is, was pegaxs taken up on his offer of the 30 cents?

          • @brendanm: I knew as soon as that pegaxs bloke replied that you two wouldn’t be far away…

            And no request has been made as of yet, and I still have the 30¢ here burning a hole in my wallet…
