 . [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/54871|isidore12]] asks advice about a [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/486959|traffic accident]] when they were hit by a bus when trying to overtake. Post had attached dashcam footage showing mainly the dash of the vehicle. Video was taken down by the OP due to it showing various traffic violations, yet user [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/486959#comment-7793687|pegaxs]] reuploaded and then [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/486959#comment-7795228|philmccracken]] created a gif of the incident.
+. [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/110449|ZackyD]] posts about a [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/529062|sale of an Xbox One X made to another OzBargainer]] claimed to have been bought from [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/524064|a deal on OzBargain]], and following the sale received threats that the buyer would contact police, employer and his mother for selling him a 2 year old console. Initially the OP is supported, however when [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/221887|randomstuff]], revealed to be the buyer, explains their side of the story explaining that when contacted, Microsoft said the console was registered 2 years ago the tide turns against ZackyD (and the now permabanned account of Sammy78).
+. Number 45 almost repeated itself! [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/375561|15fps740m]] posts about a [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/687454|sale of a Gaming PC on FB Marketplace]], and claimed the new buyer was asking for a refund as the PC wasn't as described. Later comments [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11858827|they admitted]] they had said the PC was built 12 months ago, but omitted to the buyer that it was built with old parts. The new buyer, as well as an acquaintance of the buyer, joined to say their $0.02, and OP subsequently deleted their account.
+. [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/246919|JFurter]] posted [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/363858|a thread about]] how they chipped in for a workplace birthday cake and later found out that the "office girl" sent to buy the cake pocketed the change when they find the cake docket in the bin is $17.50 less than what the cake cost. Forum erupts, hilarity ensues. User was later banned for "unrelated account issues".
+. [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/224704|SenorUmberto]] had an issue with using discounted gift cards as a gift that ended up causing [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/350864|a dispute with siblings.]] The user used an deal posted on OzBargain to get 15% off JBHifi gift cards where they subsequently asked their siblings to pay the full gift card price, essentially profiting from family. A poll was put up and while 49 people agreed with SenorUmberto, and in what seems to be a voting record, 1118 users did not. User did eventually [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/5444568/redir| apologise to the sibling.]]
+. User [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/77535|hippies]] finds out that [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/226627|a company used their property and letterbox]] as the box art on some of their products without hippies's consent. Asked the community what they could do about it, and in the best way possibly, the community delivers.
+. Super sleuth user [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/92297|sss333]] was searching Facebook when they [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/10335393/redir|came across a video]] by a user on OzBargain, ([[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/380726|RichardML]]) where they link to a YouTube video of Richard discussing how to  buy items, set up a store on Amazon, manipulate discounts and then goes on to suggest that OzBargain is an easy target for these "deals".
+. User [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/122779|ianyelts]] posts up [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/140995|a questions seeking advice]] on obtaining a refund for a recent motel stay where they encountered an issue. User initially said they were asked to leave because of their "Spoodle" dog, but the hotel manager ends up making an account ([[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/124497|Glenn2312]]) and [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/1948030/redir|sets the record straight.]]
+. [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/362000|christopher b]] swung by to let us know [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/559798|what they really think]] of their all new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid purchase after finding out that they purchased the model that didn't have build in roof rack mounts, successfully going on to become a successful OzBargain meme.
+. Users complaining of not receiving a $50 Menulog voucher for an advertised promotion, in fact no one had received one, until a [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13962879/redir|new user signed up to OzBargain to show they received one, with a screenshot.]] Moderators replied to indicate that user was actually a Menulog employee who did not declare their association.
