whilst busily procrastinating it hit me.
OzBargain Olympics!!
Events-
the cheapest flight from A to B
Best Bank deal for homeloan/pers loan/CC at the moment
Accomodation in X
Cheapest unlock for Phone Z
Pizza deal for post code XXXX
etc
etc
Mods announce the specifics before the event begins.
specifics to be worked out later.
EPO and the various testosterone derivatives won't help you in this one. I guess that high doses of caffiene or amphetamines might, so you really need to price those into the overall cost of the bargain you obtained.
Some queries based on some of the "events" you posted above
So where is A2B why not A2C or multiple events - ie like 100 200m etc
What timeframe are you looking at
Whats included in flights - luggage etc. What about 2 for 1's and is it savings - ie would a $1000 Business class flight from A to B, now $200 be a better deal than a $100 flight now $30
Who decides the deal?
And whats the point, will it increase postings?
A2C
sure, why not. just putting the concept out there as maybe others are interested.
Who decides the deal?
Mods post the "event" and decide
What timeframe are you looking at
best response within a given timeframe e.g. 10 minutes wins.
What's the point
some people are serious bargain/deal hunters so it would be "fun" for them to "compete" against others in such a thing. also usually when people list something in "find me a bargain" not everyone is around to search out.
people could/may post how they achieved their answer/result. so it also becomes an a fast way to learn/collect data on bargain finding methods.
Too many variables affect bargains.
ie, Your Dick Smith may have stock, mine not.
You may have a different pizza shop chain in your state.
I, for example can unlock a lot of phones as I've purchased the boxes.
I think we should wait for another $10 flight deal and all travel to the same destination around the same period and do real olympics. We can call it the professionals games.
huh?
