OzBargain Gang Sign
Ever wondered how I can recognise a fellow ozbargainer in the shopping mall, on the street or at school/work? You don't want to make a scene "hey, do you happen to be that guy on OzBargain?!!" and prefer something more discreet. So here we have it — OzBargain gang signs — for the keen members here to identify their affiliation (when they are all queueing up for the same bargain together). MS Paint here showing how it is done:
It spells out O Z B just in case you can't recognise it. Or in animated GIF:
So, what are the uses of the OzBargain gang sign?
- Get to know other ozbargainers IRL.
- Show your dominance at the local supermarket.
- Terrorise sales staff at GH's electrical stores.
- Tell the other (at-fault) motorist at the traffic accident, that "this will be reported & discussed on OzBargain"
Here I have assembled some young ozbargainers from UNSW for some demonstration right in front of the Scientia building:
Competition
Now we come to the actual competition part. Being a proud ozbargainer, here's your chance to perform the OzBargain gang sign. You can do it by yourself at home. Or do it with your friends at the local shops, department stores, shopping centres, on the public transport, at your school or at work, or next to some other famous people who aren't aware of OzBargain… Be creative and entertaining, and send your entry in either photo or video format.
- Your submission needs to be uploaded to a media hosting site (for example, OzBargain file uploader, imgur, YouTube, TikTok, etc)
- Post the link to your submission as a comment in this post.
OzBargain moderators will go through each submission and give a score. The average score from all OzBargain moderators will be used to figure out the winners. There will be 13 winners with total prize of $2,500 in either digital gift cards or bank transfer (top 3 only).
- 1st prize: $600
- 2nd prize: $500
- 3rd prize: $400
- 10x honourable mentions: $100
Moreover, each of the prize winners will win one of our latest T-shirts "Bikies" in cobalt blue, as we all know that "Bikies" is often the obvious choice for the forum polls.
Terms and Conditions
- OzBargain gang sign of O Z B must be featured in the submitted photo or video.
- Closing Date: 17 Oct 2023
- Drawing Date: 20 Oct 2023
- Multiple submissions are permitted, but only one entry per user — all submissions will be judged collectively.
- Submission needs to be hosted on media hosting sites and must be publicly viewable.
- Competition is open to all OzBargain users residing in Australia.

i can get on board with your enthusiasm, lil home stuff.
Best Ozbargain tshirt ever
What we need is actually a secret ozbargain handshake
Tradie: Yeah, so your bill comes to $420.69 for this 5 min of work
Ozbargainer: Oh? What if I were to..shake your hand like this? Does ozbargainer secret handshake
Tradie: Oh damn, you didnt say you were an ozbargainer rank 5 dual wielding paladin, the bill now comes to $420.68!the bill now comes to $420.68!
Your rank 5 battle mage must have rolled a one to get that much discount.
fking lol
LOL!!!
this needs more upvotes!
A true ozbargainer would never ask for a discount on $420.69 as not to ruin the sacredness of this number
haha, we had a similar handshake like that when I was part of some organization and I became the chosen one.
And now, the paddling of the swollen ass - with paddles!
Lolllllll!
I'm here for this ⭕💤🅱️
You can do it by yourself at home.

Ozbarginer gets shot in the hood
More TikToker blocking supermarket aisle
Three true ozbargainers would share one tshirt
It doesn’t say anything about NSFW…
I think it needs to be simple and something you can do with your hands in a resting/standing position so fellow OzB's walking past will recognize but muggles will just think poor guy has arthiritis
This is a better idea, something that makes us stand out in the crowd like a combination of hand and leg signal.
The gang sign would be an effective way to greet other ozbargainer.Not to mention super dorky :P
Revenge Of The Nerds !
Or in animated GIF:
Took a hot second to notice that you're spelling out OZB with hand signs. Thought it was some sort of weird Naruto-esque thing. Bargain no Jutsu? Broden no Jutsu?
Wait…. on animated GIF… isn't it spelling OSB???!!
Would look like a Z to the person doing it but not to the observer…
but then the B is around the right way to the observer so one has to be backwards.That might be a competing gang from the other side of the tracks!!
I had to go back and check, but you’re definitely right.
Your powers of observation humble my dyslexic soul!
OzB vs OsB = OverSeas Bargainers
now trying to figure out how to make a j and v with hands
Not sure about the 'j', but I'm sure jv is used to seeing the 'v' sign a lot!
Here's mine before more "qualified" members claim it : https://tenor.com/view/mooning-show-butt-shake-butt-pants-do…
Dropping your pants is optional but squeezing hard is mandatory.If I don't win, do I;
- Just accept it?
- Post a long-winded complaint in the forums (with MS Paint diagram)?
- Bikies!
Wow real human people
The new cobalt coloured shirts are 🔥🔥!
I recognise those handsigns. That's the forbidden Bargain-no-jutsu!
I’m not doing that
Being internet-famous, I heard you might even get your very own UNSW Love Letters addressed to you!
it was too funny, first thing i said to her was "i had dinner with your father"
How do you submit an entry?
From the post:
- Your submission needs to be uploaded to a media hosting site (for example, OzBargain file uploader, imgur, YouTube, TikTok, etc)
- Post the link to your submission as a comment in this post.
Thanks, didn't see the second part to it. My bad.
Just to confirm - the sumbision could be a painting of a hand sign or symbol? or a photo? even feet?
Please read the description of the competition. Not expecting a painting or photos of feet, but ozbargainers IRL doing the gang sign in the most "OzBargain way" (in your own interpretation).
yes, feet would be impressifv
All the information is on the task, Stopback.
I hope the prize isn't 10x $100 worth of Ozbargain T-shirts :-)
Do I get extra points if I wear an actual Bikies jacket?
sure then post us the photos when the actual bikies visit you
Its against our rules to put photos online.
fine just tell us how it goes
Will I be able to purchase an Ozbargain T Shirt one day pretty plsss <3 🥰
Does someone get points deducted, because they have extra digits ?
(Guy at workplace, has a "mini thumb" next to his actual thumb )
Can I just buy the T-shift without doing the signs? Thanks
You'll be asked to show the hand signs,
because they can be sold to you, haha
Please note that the t-shirts aren't available for purchase. However they will also be given away in OzBargain 17th birthday meetups next month, but in limited quantity only.
bikies lol
what happens if your gang sign is the middle finger?
You might be of a different gang. This competition would not be applicable to you.
basically most forum issues can be resolved by growing a pair. (example: talking to neighbour about noise, rather than complaining on ozbargain).
then the default answer became "just call the bikies to sort it out". then just "bikies"
Now it's a default option for all polls
Oh. LOL.
Thanks Davo. 👍
damn! not enough timing to bring my interstate ozb mates to pull this off
I’ll do it with you @cerealsmok3r
Let’s gooooooo cutie
Let's do it
sad I'm not in sydney
Noooo come back brooo
This is awesome! Thanks Scotty!
This is better than the T-shirt design comps, I have no graphic design skills at all 😂
So, is the competition about demonstrating the letters O Z B ,
in the manner those 3 gentlemen have shown,
or is it to show how other creative methods,
the letters O Z B can be shown,
presumably using different finger contortions ?Also, does it have to O Z B ,
and not *O B ?The abbreviation of OzBargain has always been ozb.
What's the answer to the first question?
Also, I don't know who negged you…but of all people,
you can figure that out, haThe competition is about creative ways to do the gang sign that has been shown in the photos / mspaint drawing above, ie the gesture itself is fixed. I thought I had it clear in the description but I guess I will need to revise more.
Specifically
You can do it by yourself at home. Or do it with your friends at the local shops, department stores, shopping centres, on the public transport, at your school or at work, or next to some other famous people who aren't aware of OzBargain…
@scotty: Thanks for clarifying.
I was curious about it because, when doing these hand-signs,
I thought of the sign-language,
so that the hearing impared can also make out the O Z B .If you look at the one-handed signs,
it's actually quite practical and even makes sense,
as we're pointing to each other…fellow OzBargainers,
in a somewhat "3-step hello":
1) Oz…
2) …You, You, You…
3) …Bargainer !
Go here to see what I mean,
when you type in OZB and press "Show" :-)For the two-handed signs,
enter OZB here and press "Show".
I'd much prefer the t shirt poll options as hand symbols:
Yes 👍
No 👎
Bikies 🖕🔫Just needs the moderator addendum along the lines of: Irrelevant—Poll not for spam completing the shirt to reflect an authentic OzBargain experience
O S ᗺ? 😝
@scotty or @mods will we get disqualified for this or do we have to do it again?
Nah, you can submit multiple entries, but can only win once. If you don't want your previous entry just unpublish that comment.
@BargainGhost: I did it wrong myself when I recorded the animated GIF — got confused when the phone was in selfie mode. It's okay, but it's fine as well if you want to resubmit.
Hahah love this!
Ha ha 'paid' actors were bribed with iceblocks
Were those iceblocks bought with a coupon ?
or were they close to expiry allowing us to bargain a lower price at tuckshop?
the first 2 got my biggest respect hahaha it's almost like a heart mate
yet reminiscent of naruto shadow cloning to complete his rasengan
pre-congratulations on your win, dunno how youre sorting out between 5 peeps
was hard. had to bribe with the iceblocks… xD jk
What happens if a shopback homie sees this shit? Youi gonna get lit mofo that wat.
They gonna come up with their own gang signs.
I really don't think they are looking for marketing. It's just a fun community challenge.
Ok
Fair enough
My mistake
Hookup with another Ozbargainer by following these few steps… ok but who brings the eneloops and Quiltons to the party
In the gif the 'Z' is backwards
well spotted !
Always wanted to join a secret society/weird cult!
Here's the winner announcement — top 13 entries:
Great effort everyone! However I don't think people are surprised that the PabloVicioso's ozbargain gangsta rock win the competition — totally blow our socks off.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm about to log off. I'll message the winners in the next couple of days.
Damn. Didn’t win. Congrats to those who did!
Yahoo!
Well done to all entries we have a lot of jokers around!
Well I think Pablo was the best sumbition.
I think Allan was the one that best filed the competition brief.
I agree! Real solid quality from them both in different ways!
Well deserved podium entries! Was a fun competition! Congrats to all the winners!
Can you make OzB socks for next time ?
wink, wink
