The best OB deal you missed out on

What are the best deals you've missed out on posted here on Ozbargain? I'm sure i've missed a few decent ones but the recent 12 free bottles of wine has left me feeling stupid because I actually saw it not long after it posted but i don't know why i completely ignored it. Boom, one hour later and 80 positives and all gone.

So what are your top deals that got away??

    The Asus Transformer @ $367 from here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/58433

    Initially I just thought "Hm, not too bad of a deal" but left it at that. Decided to look back at it a while later and only then did I realize it was the top of the line 32GB WITH THE DOCK, brand new… blargh!

    Nothing ever came close to that price since. :(

    • I got it :P (by price match many days later at office works)

    bank cash giveaway deals are by far best deal at oz. i tried to get in most of the offer including nab$50 kiosk, nab-cba switch bonuses, suncorp saving, ing refer+other bonus, bankwest 5%cashback, stgeorge cashback from moneybackco and virginmoney and hsbc feebate. the one i missed is the cba 100year centurion $100 bonus.

    best way to get our money back we so desperately deserve from these arrogant and greedy bankers

      I remember signing up for the free $123 from ING back in '05

      I also remember telling as many ppl as possible about it, but most were too hesitant to sign up cause it sounded to good to be true!

  • the roadbike from big w for me

    • 1 + :-(

  • I am like tchi6 - I saw the wine, but it didn't register in my brain.

    I am spewing for missing out on all of the USB 3.0 2TB Hard drives last year. I need one now, and don't want to pay $130 or so for one.

    The HTC Sensation XL from Coke unleashed, simply because I'd never really bothered looking into the promotion. My daughter goes through Coke like it was going out of fashion. We'd easily have had the points a few times over during the time it has been running.

  • Nexus S deals.

    I am in the market for a Nexus S at the moment to replace my wife's old Nokia. It was selling for $269 from Vodafone and Unique Mobile 2 months ago but I can't seem to be able to get it at that price any more. Have lost about 5 auctions on eBay now as I refuse to pay more than $269 for a new Nexus S. Arghhh.

    • keep trying, the prices are bound to fall seeing as the Galaxy Nexus has been released. Perhaps you could send uniquemobile a message and cut a deal ;)

        Ha. My wife got so frustrated and she's almost decided that she does not need a new mobile and will keep her old Nokia. Maybe missing out the deal actually save me some money.

          lol I suspect we'd all save a lot of money if it weren't for the deals on ozbargain. hehehe

        • here here brother!

  • LG 50" commbank facebook promo, paid $475 with woolworths staff card too & the HP Touchpad :)

  • everything above :O

  • missed Hard Drives and USB 3.0 thumb drives.

    also those bandit.fm $10 coupons. Frequency has reduced alot. (comparing 2010 to 2011)

  • $200 off at allphones deal! http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/59593
    i needed a new phone at that time as well.
    not checking ozbargain can be really punishing, hey? =[

    • I was checking frequently, got a code but they wouldn't honour the order :(
