        bar·gain

        n.
        3. Something offered or acquired at a price advantageous to the buyer.

        " the normal edition without the extras costs $24.95, it is less than half the price downloaded from iTunes store $20.99. Should be available in store but shipping costs $3.50 extra."

        Therefore = bargain. Not going to purchase…but still counts as a bargain to me.

          I think a lot of the negatives are voting like that because even if it was being sold for less than $5, the content is still not worth it.

          I personally think the content isn't worth any amount of money and would not upvote this submission…

          @kwchaz - I don't think the Asus Transformer 32GB with dock is worth $300 yet when there is a sale @ ~$370 it gets over 100 +ve votes. If people vote based on how much they think the stuff is worth instead of how much it is actually sold at …this entire website is screwed. Half the time I think stuff posted here should be given free. =D

          Like I said..I am personally NOT buying this..but plain fact and simple math tells me this is a bargain. This is a 50-60% discount on normal price.

          Maybe in the sense that those shitty 'sounds of rocks falling' meditation CDs you find in JB bargain bins for $5 are normally RRP $29 but still not a bargain… I'd say this safely falls into the same category.

        • Maestrok on 14/12/2011 - 20:49

          @FerretalliA - Those CDs you find in JB might not be a 'bargain' to you (I definitely won't buy them myself)..but it might be to someone else..either way..if someone posts them on OzBargain.. you don't vote negative..just comment.

          Unless you can find this exact product elsewhere for cheaper than $10..then it is by definition a bargain. So if you don't want to vote positive, then don't vote at all. It is certainly not deserving of a negative vote.

          @lmh86 - Nice find! Giving you a +ve for that! Unfortunately expired…haha..but there you go..you can but it from bandit.fm @ $17..so this is only a 41% saving as opposed to a 50-60% saving. Still a bargain tough. =D

          I think bergerberger is arguing that the price you pay (enslavement into a Megachurch) is far greater than $20.99, and therefore to little or no advantage to the buyer

          and therefore not a bargain.

        • Maestrok on 14/12/2011 - 21:15
          +6

          @phobiaphobic - I am not going to buy it..but by definition, the price is a bargain..hence it gets my positive vote.

          Find it for a cheaper price elsewhere…then it deserves a negative vote. Like lmh86 posted..if that deal was not expired (meaning you could get the album for free)..then yeh..this would get a negative from me.

      I take exception to your assertion that:

      "Some people value their personal beliefs and some dont"

      I am basing this on the assumption that you believe that those who vote negative do not "value their personal beliefs".

      I assert that they DO value their beliefs and therefore they vote negative. I further assert that they value their beliefs more than those who are voting positive based on economics.

      Do you truly think this is worth +38 votes? Everytime I see music posted on here (minus bandit fm & itunes cards) it either gets very little attention or negative votes, but suddenly religious music is on sale & everyone wants to buy it? I think not.

    Is it worth posting just because it's a discount on the RRP regardless of content? Could I get a collection of commercial jingles and advertisements, sell it for $20 but provide ozbargain a discount of 50% and list it legitimately? Religion has nothing to do with it, people vote based on their appraisal of the worth/value of the bargain, and clearly most people do not think religious material is worth listing, regardless of the 'saving'.

        +4

        You need to get some higher level education into you. A 'fact' is meaningless, for example '20 plus votes versus 9 negative votes' is not self-explanatory considering that a plus vote requires only the click of a button whereas a negative vote can ONLY be left after a comment, and considering the 'sensitivity' of the issue (especially post-moderator intervention), negative votes at all are remarkable. Consider also that you have significantly more negative comments than you do negative votes, and your point about the respective votes becomes less than meaningless.

    • eug on 14/12/2011 - 20:35

      no, because you would be illegally copying copyrighted music and selling it.

      Perhaps you need to read the official OZB guidelines instead of making up your own:
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines

      If the deal doesn't apply to you, you don't like the company, you want to leave a warning for people about the business or deal, you might want to leave a comment and then not vote.

        I don't even know what you're getting at. There's a big difference between getting reselling a collection of commercial jingles & advertisements, and writing & recording your own songs (be they part of a church's efforts or not).

        Also, if you were approaching this from the angle that Koorong is illegally selling the content.. Koorong is simply a reseller of Hillsong products. Just as JB Hifi is a reseller for Sony. Does that mean JB Hifi is illegally copying copyrighted music (Sony's) and selling it? No.

      I understand the arguement with RRP as items may be available to be bought below RRP prices in shops. Like lots of logitech products that are advertised 50% off RRP but in actual fact may be regular prices we can find from places like logitechshop.

      However for this case the price stated is the normal price you find in shops (whichever shops that do sell them)…and this is just over 51% cheaper than buying off itunes. So yes.. I think this deserves to be stated as a bargain..or don't vote..either way..its not deserving of a negative vote.

      PS> Yes…if you were a legit store selling a collection of commercial jungles and gave a discount of 50%..in all technicality..if there is no other way to 'buy' your product at a cheaper price…then yes..it is a bargain. Because that is the definition of a bargain.

      The fact that this is religious material is getting it negative votes…so religion has everything to do with it. If you look at the plain math.. unless you can find exact item priced better elsewhere..you should not be able to justify a negative vote.. same goes with all the random clearance ps3 games that myer gets rid of.. yes..i'm sure we all +ve a copy of PS3 Singstar for $10 because it was worth it.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/12/2011 - 20:53

      The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of people who follow it. I am a religious person, but I am intelligent enough to realize that at the end of the day, your belief system is just as insane to someone, as their belief system is to you.

      I personally would rather see religious items not advertised on ozbargain, but as the website was founded with an advertisement for koorong, I dont see that happening anytime before the apocalypse.

      The negs in this thread simply arent valid according to the voting rules.

      Also, the idea of a committed atheist is laughable. to commit yourself to a lack of belief means you need to find something better to do with your time.

      • anarky on 14/12/2011 - 21:03

        That is not true. The difference is that a religion does not promote abnormal and bizarre practices.

        There are religions that don't have many followers yet are recognised as religions, but there are many cults that have huge amounts of followers but are not recognised as religons.

        My neg is that cult's should not be allowed on OzBargain.

          join a mosque? It's not a gym. Just look up an islamic centre in your state and I am sure they will be happy to help you out.

      I'd love to hear how you substantiate that claim of Hillsong being a cult and how Hillsong has hurt anyone. In fact, please take a look at the Church's community programs not just locally, but worldwide as well. Have you seen how much good the Church has done for the less fortunate?

      Then comes my question to you. What have you done to return to the community/society other than criticism of other people's faith? :)

        It is easy to try and derail an argument while comparing the posts of one person to the actions of an entire organisation.

        Hillsong is frequently in the newspaper for their shady financial practices. This leads to people getting hurt = cult religon in my eyes.

          "Hearsay your honor."

          "Please answer the question."

      • anarky on 14/12/2011 - 21:41

        You are quoting hearsay to someone who deals with it daily. Hearsay is admissible in court and certain does not relate to "answering the question"

        However, I don't see how, when I list what I do in return to the community that it will justify my argument that Hillsong has disturbing financial practices?

        Before I waste any more time. My question to you: Is Scientology a cult?

      What is your definition of a bargain? Cause I posted the dictionary's definition in an earlier post..and I'm pretty sure this IS a bargain by definition.

  • phobaphobic on 14/12/2011 - 21:04

    Is it still a bargain, considering this organization doesn't pay tax on any of it's huge income? They are stealing off the public.

    • robinsoa on 14/12/2011 - 21:20

      You do realise that a lot of deals on here are by companies that either minimise their tax or offshore?
      So yeah it is still a bargain. Wether they pay tax is irrelevant.

      This is off topic and if you are implying Christmas is Christian then you have no idea about its actual origins. http://i.imgur.com/dzhWX.png As I said, this is off topic but relevant to this comment.

    Two topics that tend to have heated debates on OzBargain:

    1. Religious items.
    2. Vibrators and other sex toys.

    Very interesting to read peoples opinions/beliefs around here! :)
    All in all, the more bargains the merrier really. Besides, how hard is it to NOT click on the bargain if it doesn't interest you?

    Another reminder. If you don't like deals from Korong or any store for that matter, you can click hide from listing button and you won't see the deals appear.

      Is there a filter for all religion based posts? (eg a ban). They are always more trouble than they're worth.

      • TCM on 14/12/2011 - 21:44

        More trouble than they're worth? If it is so much trouble then take Neil's advice and hide it. It's only trouble if you go through the thread start commenting on it.

        Just a little fact for everyone, in the 2001 census showed that 68% of the population considered themselves Christians (includes Catholics). Now if you take the period between 1991 and 2001 you will see that it has dropped approximately 3% every 5 years so if that trend continued to 2011 there would be 62% of the population that are Christians.

        Now, not even counting the percentages from other religions, if we were to ban religious postings, we would infact be banning posts that are relevant and of interest to the majority of Australians.

          Most people I know who checked the christian box are not actually christians - they did it because their parents were(not are) when they were kids.

          That question doesn't matter to them when they have no religion and no idea/care why the question is asked.

        • TCM on 14/12/2011 - 21:55

          Radar, do you think Stumo or the other people who negged this deal would tick that box? Or do you think they would've said no religion?

          Now, not even counting the percentages from other religions, if we were to ban religious postings, we would infact be banning posts that are relevant and of interest to the majority of Australians.

          Its not about that, its about the two terms, "Religion" and "Bargain", being used together.

          The thing that brings the OzBargain community together is the one true "religion of the Bargain". The thing that divides the OzBargain community is when ulterior motives are involved.

          The "bargains" that make people feel guilty about not + voting, or climbing up onto high horses or bandwagons, or that is known to harbour any other ulterior motives, should be banned.

        • Radar on 14/12/2011 - 22:03

          I don't care what they ticked. I'm just pointing out that those statistics on that question might not be an accurate depiction of Australians.

        • TCM on 14/12/2011 - 22:07

          Stumo,

          When you said "The "bargains" that make people feel guilty about not + voting, or climbing up onto high horses or bandwagons, or that is known to harbour any other ulterior motives, should be banned."

          You have assumed that Christians would feel guilty for not voting positively to any Christian related bargain. May I ask how you come to that conclusion?

          If you look to the past Koorong or other religious deals they don't seem to have as much activity as say a logitech sale. If it was like how you said it I would be thinking that those posts would get the highest number of +ve votes unless the Majority of the Ozbargain community is from the population that ticked "no religion"

        • TCM on 14/12/2011 - 22:12
          +2

          Radar,

          The point was that if someone ticked "Christian", I would have good reason to believe they are a type of person who would not be offended or put off by a Christian bargain and would also have a good chance of finding interest in these bargains.

          Stumo and the other people who negged this deal would not fit into this population but my point is that they are the minority of Australians and therefore we should not ban these deals.

          Now, unless you have a better percentage of the true population of Christians in Australia I think I'd be inclined to take the ABS data.

  • robinsoa on 14/12/2011 - 21:18

    The deal, itself, is a bargain.
    Voting + or - on religious grounds is pathetic IMO

  • geoffs87 on 14/12/2011 - 21:28

    Begs to question the definition of a bargain. Value is only determined by demand and the price buyers are willing to pay. If noone wants a bar of this pyscobabble bulls*, how could this be a bargain?

    • robinsoa on 14/12/2011 - 21:34

      I think some people do want this (not me) and they don't see it as psycobabble bs. (I do)
      Is it a bargain - ask hillsong customers. Only they can confirm it is for sure, but on face value it looks like a bargain to me.

  • dy4me on 14/12/2011 - 21:28

    Seriously, if this wasnt hillsong and was Adele or LMFAO im sure every1 would be voting this up. Grow up and let the rest enjoy the deal. This is as bad as android is better than iOS and vice versa. What shock me is not that people in australia hate religion but the fact that they hate others believing in a religion too.

      Seriously, if this wasnt hillsong and was Adele or LMFAO im sure every1 would be voting this up.

      Then it shouldn't be hard for you to find any previous bargain posts for a music album at $13.50 or higher with more positive votes than this one?

      Sure, there several free or really cheap albums with more votes, but even the ones which are $10 or $5 (inc. delivery) have fewer votes.

      To summarise: YOORONG.
