    1.5 ml , totally not worth it , similar to the bio therm 1ml sample such a waste

      It may not be much but it is free. I don't think a negative vote could be justified.

      • Mikinoz on 03/11/2009 - 13:41

        Measure 1.5 ml on a teaspoon, this is how much you will get for going there.

        Sure its free but if you go all the way there expecting something usefull then you will be sorely disappointed.

        i am staying with the negative as its my opinion.

        So much for freedom of speech (Huey revoking my vote)

          I agree, 1.5ml is an utter waste of time and effort, maybe for a free mailout but not a walk-in. Most respectable samples have the good grace to at least give you 5ml of any decent fragrance! You'd be better off with an Avon "scratch & sniff"! ;)

          I think a negative vote is warranted here, it sure as hell ain't free if you've gotta print the email and present it!

              @HueyData: I would think the "effort" part is pretty self-explanatory! It seems you are just being recalcitrant Huey, particularly with the revokation of votes (including mine)! :(

              If the deal is any good it will stand or fall on it's own merit by sheer weight of objective opinion without your interventions mate! ;)

                @StewBalls: You don't have to go get it, that is the point. If you don't want it, ignore this. DJ is on the way home for me, I pass there everyday. This is not a big hassle for me.

                Maybe I should go and downvote all the bluray deals which I think are a waste of money, or big tv deals which are like wise a complete waste.

                • StewBalls on 03/11/2009 - 22:04

                  @cakesy: That is pretty specious logic! You don't have to get any bargain listed here cakesy, but the idea of voting is to assess the relative value of a deal, not just whether you want it or not!

                  Just because you go past DJ's every day doesn't mean everybody else does, nor should this criteria be the determining factor in deciding whether this is a "bargain" or not, that's just plain egocentric!

                  Downvote whatever you want mate, but even if the vote is not summarily dismissed, just be ready to justify it with something better than "bluray deals which I think are a waste of money, or big tv deals which are like wise a complete waste". Again, this is specious, egocentric logic!

                  I downvoted this because I do not believe having to print out an email and present it to a store to receive a mere 1.5ml sample represents value for the input required, 5ml or greater yes; but 1.5ml, not on my time anyway! My preferred fragrance suppliers usually give me decent size samples, or a half dozen of these little ones, they know their real value! ;)

                  • cakesy on 05/11/2009 - 08:40

                    @StewBalls: Ok, so you go and rate every single deal on here, that is logical to you is it? So you must really hate deals that are restricted to a state that you don't live in? Or deals for womens knickers or haircuts? Because, you know, relative to you being a man, they are a really bad deal.

                    No, this is not how the site is supposed to work, there is something wrong with your reasoning if you think like that.

              • HueyData on 03/11/2009 - 14:47

                @StewBalls: StewBalls, I would think "don't want it, don't get it" is also pretty self-explanatory. As I've repeatedly explained, there are requirements for negative votes to be justified.

                If the deal is any good it will stand or fall on it’s own by sheer weight of objective opinion without your interventions mate! ;)

                Firstly, the problem here is subjective, not objective, opinion - "no good by my standards".

                Secondly, I don't care about the success (or otherwise) of this deal. Guess what - I have absolutely zero interest in this perfume sample. Just because I don't want it doesn't mean I can vote negative.

                  Huey obviously you dont allow people the chance to remove the vote, you would rather do it for them ?

                    Mikinoz, if a vote is not justified, moderators have discretion to remove it. It is generally appropriate to do so since people wouldn't tend to do it themselves, either by not revisiting the deal or because they don't intend to. If they do intend to do so, it doesn't make a difference since the net result is the same.

                    This is not Ozmodbargain is it ? seems like it lately no offense to the others

                    Complain/opine all you like - you're allowed to do so. But use (or create) an appropriate forum topic. This is certainly going off-topic from the deal.

                  +1

                  @HueyData: I have no interest in it either, but in my objective estimation to obtain such a small sample does not represent a commensurate reward for the input required, hence I do not consider it a "bargain" per se!

                  No subjectivity at all with regard to the product, just weighing the pro's vs. con's with regard to it's relative value! I suppose it comes down to what you feel your time is worth Huey; and not trying to sound more important than I am (not); but mine is worth more than a 1.5ml sample! ;)

                  I stand by my assertion, Mikinoz & I (and any others) should have the right to our opinion in this forum, directly relative to this deal, by way of our vote! To have any mod arbitrarily dismiss it pretty much negates the point of the voting process; we might as well just accept your mandate on what constitutes a bargain here! :p

                    Firstly, I suggest you read my comment/links below about the evolution of negative voting on OzBargain. Secondly, I suggest you do something proactive and productive like open or continue an appropriate forum discussion. Thirdly, I suggest you rethink your claim, because I don't have a mandate on what is or isn't a bargain, only on the application of guidelines. (And if you successfully lead a change in those, guess what - I'll be applying whatever the new guidelines are.)

                    On the other hand, perhaps you weren't being tongue in cheek there as I previously stated this isn't a bargain to me … Sorry, there will be no "mandate" to that effect, but nice try!

                      @HueyData: I read your comments, and looked at those links, I fail to see anything truly relevant there, especially given much of it refers to what appears to be now defunct commenting on negative votes!

                      Whilst I don't believe you've truly justified your authoritarian revokation of our negative votes, merely given a few very specious examples, I simply don't care enough about it to pursue the issue in any other forum!

                      And FWIW, when you authoritatively remove someone's choice in a matter mate, enforcing your own interpretation of the rules, (and IMHO that's what you've done here) that's issuing a mandate, pure and simple! Nice try on weaseling outta that one! ;)

                      I will concede, however, that given the weight of pos vs. neg votes (barring sycophants) that someone sees value in this where I do not. I honestly do not believe when objectively doing the numbers that this is worthy of a bargain, especially given these are free samples given out willy-nilly by many, many retailers as a matter of course, nothing special here at all!

                      Balancing positive votes from people whose comments clearly show they really don't know what they're talking about with a couple of negatives from those who do should be par for the course, not some secret shame!

                      We do agree on one thing though, this conversation is wasting valuable time. Fin!

                          My opinion, i dont think it is worth giving it a negative.

                          Just because it is small does not make it bad or just because you ('you' used generally, not referring to you specifically) are not going to be going into the store to get a sample does not make it bad.

                          If everyone voted on every offer as negative because they were not able to access it or because it was not exactly as they wanted then the majority of the votes would be negative.

          Measure 1.5 ml on a teaspoon, this is how much you will get for going there.

          Sure and that's what it says right in the title.

          Sure its free but if you go all the way there expecting something usefull then you will be sorely disappointed.

          You're told it's 1.5mL so you know what to expect. Whether you consider that useful and whether you want to go out of your way for it is an individual decision, as with any other bargain. But obviously just because you do not find something useful does not automatically justify a negative vote.

          In this case, a negative vote is baffling since it is a free offer (let's not get started on pieces of paper, or for that matter the kilobytes of internet quota used in viewing any freebie on OzBargain) and nobody is forcing you to get it if you don't want it.

          So much for freedom of speech (Huey revoking my vote)

          You're free to voice your opinion as you have done and it is useful to have a range of opinions. But you should be aware that there are requirements for negative votes and an opinion (particularly "no good for me") does not always provide sufficient justification.

              You could say that there are criteria to be followed, but the simpler way of looking at it is that inappropriate votes can be revoked. This largely applies to negative votes, but positive votes can be revoked due to sockpuppeting.

              Negative voting has undergone a number of changes throughout OzBargain's history. You can read about these here, here, here and here. The driver for all these changes has always been valid justification.

              For any number of reasons, the community has always preferred that negative votes be appropriately justified. This is fairly commonsense: no subjective opinions (e.g. "I have no use for this product" or "I don't want it"), compare like with like (e.g. no "PC is cheaper than Apple"), no ebay price comparisons, no negatives on the basis of location (e.g. "Opera House not available in Melbourne") or location-limited comparison (e.g. "but it's cheaper at this one offline store that doesn't deliver"), and so on. And the original reason for introducing negative voting - sockpuppets, spam and other deception.

              Here the title clearly states 1.5mL; you have not been misled about it (indeed not since you pointed it out). Whether you want to get it or not is a personal choice and subjective opinion.

              This sounds a bit weird since when can you control the vote , or rig the ozbargain elections?

              Feel free to say stuff that doesn't make sense, but as previously stated, please do it in an appropriate forum topic.

I get two uses, tops, out of a 1.5ml phial, depending on the fragrance, and that's being stingy! Now, given that I'm told the average (full size bottle) fragrance pump spray uses 0.75ml a shot, that kinda matches up! ;)

    StewBalls,
    The $2 per mil was based on 75mls of this Parfum (Around 4 times the oil % of a normal mens fragrance) costing $150. Not that hard to work out mate! This is a great fragrance, although if your a big fan of the original (as I am) there isnt really enough of a difference to warrant buying both.

    • StewBalls on 04/11/2009 - 02:50

      Not a fair comparison when on one hand you're talking about full retail price for a boxed product; on the other a designated free sample with no merchantable value whatsoever!

      Also, this theory of yours depends where you are purchasing from, where I buy my fragrances the purchase price is well under RRP, so all these figures are quite arbitrary IME, not that hard to work out either mate!

      As I've said above, a plethora of stores give these away ad-nauseum, so assigning any cash value to a sample so small is ludicrous!

    Most of the time, perfume samples are free anyway, you just need to ask! Years ago when I was at uni, had to do some marketing assignment on perfumes… ran around to all my local Myer/DJs and asked at the counters, ended up with dozens of samples.
