September 2020
sss333 for the most popular deal last month. Yes it was a free game again — Tom Clancy's The Division from Ubisoft. Pretty nice freebie for a 4yo 3rd person shooter. In fact the top 4 deals posted last were all free games. 58 freebies were posted under the Gaming category in September — check out our Free Games page.
TheWineFamily for posting the most popular non-gaming deal, 2012 Wynns Black Label Shiraz Giftbox: 1 Bottle for $11 from Wynns. In fact it's by far the most popular deal in the new Alcohol category so far this year.
mazeem82 for posting the most clicked bargain last month — Skechers Men's Dynamight Shoes $9.99 that completely ozbargained the Skechers' website, which probably generated even more click-throughs. It even beats out an HJ voucher post in terms of clicks. The deal ended up getting marked as expired 2 hours later. Kudos to those who scored one.
polstralian for posting the quickest deal getting onto OzBargain front page in September — Seagate 5TB Backup Plus Portable Drive $97 from Amazon AU. It was posted at 4PM, appeared on front page at 4:07PM, and then went out of stock at 4:08PM. Yup the OzBargain way — buy first and ask later.
Congratulations!
