So,

What would you do if you go to a store to get a bargain that's listed here, and another ozbargainer is there too?

Do you:

    How do you know they are an ozbargainer?

      Observations:

      Price matching;
      Knowing about a bargain before staff members know;
      Mentioning OzBargain;
      Their attire.

      Here is a potential near miss.

      If you're waiting to ask a staff member a specific item at a specific price, and the person before you asks exactly the same thing.

      And, if they appear to be an OzBargainer, but aren't, do you tell them about OzBargain?

        The first rule of OzBargain is to never talk about OzBargain…

        Just kidding, this isn't fight club. I've told a few people and they love the idea but I thought were too lazy to check.

      Dressed in slazenger gear and dunlop volleys.

        hey, how do you know I'm wearing my Slazzie's?

    I would walk faster to the counter to buy whatever it is before them.

  • ProjectZero on 28/08/2015 - 12:27

    Ask them if they were associated with any bikies before stealing the last of the item from them…

    MY PRECIOUS (bargain…)!

    We need a secret handshake or a secret gang signal.

    Never met one, I assume they are nerdy by all the computer item bargains and wear slazenger clothes..

    • BuyoTheCat on 28/08/2015 - 15:17

      I do not have a single piece of slazenger clothing item.

        Then you're paying too much for your clothing. ;)

    I once went to Bunnings to price match with a receipt printed from OzBargain, and the console operator said he saw this on Ozbargain too…

    punch them in the gut and yell "I'm JV" and then run away.

  • BuyoTheCat on 28/08/2015 - 15:16

    I'll just tell the salesperson "I'm having whatever he/she having."

      Yup

      • try2bhelpful on 28/08/2015 - 17:19

        You could have given a warning; OMG who would post that one up on the site. BTW, I love the suggested "related" deals.

      • BuyoTheCat on 28/08/2015 - 17:47

        In fact, I'll take 2

        • rompastompa on 28/08/2015 - 17:48

          Buy One Get One Free? :D
