Introducing yourself!

G'day!

I thought it would be a good idea to have an "introduce yourself" forum. This is the soapbox where you can tell everyone who you are, where are you from, what brought you here, what were your favourite bargains, what's your "speciality" in bargain hunting, etc.

Let me be the first to start :)

My name is Scott. Living in Sydney with wife and kids (a 2 year-old and another one coming in 4 months). I am here because — well, long story short. I started OzBargainBlog (under a different URL) 18 months ago to share some of the great deals with friends, and it turns out to be actually useful. Moreover, heaps of people sent me their own great bargains. I thought, maybe all the Aussie bargain hunters can collaborate, so boom! This site was born.

I usually consider myself "cheap" (but was humbled a few times by some people who wrote me tips :), and I love things that are cheap or free. A trained software engineer, and computers and gadgets are definitely my favourites (although "need vs. want" consciousness usually knocks me back when I was attempting to click on the "Add to Cart" button).

No "speciality" really, except for passing on and rephrasing what I've read elsewhere :)

Keep the introduction coming. Please also keep your introduction in new threads. Thanks!

  • Hi!

    I am a newbie. I love this site. I only just found the forums today. Thank you for setting up this site!!

    At this point of time, everyone else has beat me with the specials. One time I will get there! :)

    My name is Bretlyn from Melbourne - eastern suburbs.

    • Welcome Bretlyn!

      Yes the "deal posting" has got pretty competitive these days (which is a good thing :) Very often I got my special deals from newsletters, came on OzBargain with all the details on what I was about to post, only to find out that it has already been posted by someone else an hour ago!

  • Hello everyone, I am new too. The more I look around this site, the more I am loving it. Thanks for creating it Scott.

    • Huh?

  • Hi,

    I don't have my own online shop to pimp, but just wanted to say that OzB is the best site to get bargains and learn more about the products that are on sale.

    Oh yeah, I live in Brisbane :)

  • Joined Ozbargain a really long time ago…but only visited sporadically.
    Lost my email account and log in details, and never bothered to retrieve them (as I obviously can't if my email address no longer exist).

    I have been visiting this site on and off without signing in for awhile now.

    Finally decided to stop being lazy and recreate a brand new account.

    I'm a seasoned forum poster, despite being a newbie here. So I'm not shy =D

    Anyway, hello everyone ^^

  • hi all,

    I'm a newbie here, try to find a bargain like others :P

  • Hi to everyone, I've just joined and still looking around. I think its a great concept that Scotty has come up with. Keep up the good work.

    I've just started an online business on offering best of Australia's bath and body care products. www.daintybelle.com.au

  • Hi Guys!
    My name is Alex from MaxoTel. I discovered this site after seeing one of our deals from earlier in the month posted here (I noticed the referal links in our statistics). I've got another one ready, however I've just got to wait out the 24h limit on new accounts first!

    Great site, Scotty!
