Hi all,
Recently bought a bargain that was unable to be shared and it had me wondering: how many deals has there been out there that were consciously withheld on this site? With the seemingly cut-throat nature of some contributors here I fear that some genuinely good deals are being missed because of fear of rejection. It could also be that the bargainer did not have the time or convenience available to share.
These would be deals that would fit normal posting criteria (e.g. not clearance/one off lines). In the interest of encouraging an open and honest discussion I would encourage all to refrain from persecution. If you have one to share please add:
Deal:
Reason for not sharing:
Other relevant information:
If we get enough data we could start a poll and look at reasons as to why this happens and resolve to take our bargain sharing to the next level.
Update
Thanks for all responses so far; it seems as if the main reasons for not sharing are (in no particular order):
Fear of down votes/negativity
Lack of stock
inconvenient to post
complexity of deal aquirement
price error
Want to keep deal for self/don't want to spoil deal for continued use
Concerned about work repercussion
I think it would be good to continue this discussion about ways to overcome these reasons (e.g. give an option to post anonymously) to create a more inviting environment to post.
Im sitting on a pretty good deal now, just waiting to get my shipping confirmation tomorrow morning and then ill post :) But yeh, always happy to post (love sharing) but if its a deal I want too i'd like to make sure i can get it before it gets ozbargained!
