Updates, Top Deals, Comments, Forum Posts, Members of The Month + Other Stats [July 2018]

I was away for most of August thus why July's stats are late. One thing we have heard many times is that OzBargain has so many x deals (e.g. supermarket, eBay, Amazon, Xiaomi etc.). While I was in Europe, I used HotUKDeals(UK) and MyDealz(Germany) to see what offers were on. Interestingly enough the front pages of both sites consistantly have the same kinds of deals as OzBargain. Better, they often have the same joke comments on the deals even when translated from German.

If you are travelling overseas, I highly recommend checking out local bargain websites while you are over there. Highlight for me was taking a £1 siteseeing bus around London which was almost completely empty. Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3

Big win in comps for July with rmcky01 scoring $20,000 cash! We also received the highest amount of reports in July which hopefully having a new staff member will help us with the workload.

Coming up:

  • Please tell me there's not a German version of jv.

    • no but there is EngenBoden (EB)

  • People love that Switch hey

  • Far less activity than usual from me that month and I suspect August will be the same. Travelling does that. Speaking of which no selfies by the London Eye or Tower for us neil? :P

    • Nah, these £1 sightseeing buses aren't hop on/hop off. Just hop on, experience 2 hours of London traffic with commentary, done.

      • Gees you didn't even go and walk there? You really did pull an OzBargain on it!
