        Just an atheist who would prefer his fellow ozbargainers to evaluate bargains on their merits.

    18 positives in an hour for a 20% off sale. I bet there are a bunch of Hong Kong retailers wishing OzBargain users were as charitable to their offers!

      yeah take the second vote for instance by user spo22a. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/10554/voted

      Directly as the deal was posted he casts a positive vote. Suspicious? maybe not at first until you look at the past deals he/she has voted for.

      33% of which are koorong deals, in what… four years of membership.

      • yeahnah-nahyeah on 26/07/2012 - 13:59

        33% is suspicious? . .wow… . . if you check out my comments, i comment on a whole ton of stuff. . u want to run stats on that too to come up with another suspicious theory?

        http://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/10554/comments

        That's a whole lot of 'random' comments just so i can vote up Koorong deals for what. . 33% of the time. . that's hardly 'suspicious'. . if it were 95% of the votes with zero comments at all, then fair enough.

        you know why i vote up Koorong deals?
        1) cos i shop there regularly
        2) cos i dont know when these sales come up

        Lastly and most importantly:
        3) cos it's a deal

        I take offense that you're insinuating that somehow im involved in some conspiracy to bump up Koorong deals.

          Hell, probably a coincidence but take it from my perspective.

          admin posts it, regular voter votes it up a second later, another admin votes for it…

          my alarm bells start ringing

      • gilbarc on 26/07/2012 - 14:07

        33% isn't really that suspicious when you realise it's 4 out of 12. And like you said, that's over the course of four years of membership… one positive vote for this store per year.

        • theworks on 26/07/2012 - 19:22
          -1

          doesn't that make it more suspicious? he gives out an average of one vote every 4 months and has given over a years worth to pretty much the same abstract deal.. a minute after it was posted. come on.

        • gilbarc on 26/07/2012 - 20:42
          +6

          Look at his posting history, he obviously participates in this community and isn't just a sockpuppet, so he can vote for whatever deals he wants to. That's kinda how this whole voting system works.

    How does 20% books at koorong get so many likes? II will waste 20% more petrol to go out to blackburn.

      This is suspicious. I don't get how a deal with 30+ votes, posted by the admin, can have no positive comments?

      • ProggerPete on 26/07/2012 - 14:12

        Yeah, pretty suspect.

          How so? Don't need to comment if you like a deal. Just shows there are a lot of Christians on this site who like a bargain.

        • Moderatorneil on 26/07/2012 - 17:26

          We audit every vote and user on OzBargain. There is no conspiracy. IMO, As with all religious based deals posted on this site, it brings out the loud, anti-religion types. People want to be able to enjoy this site without having their beliefs made fun of so perhaps why they don't comment? Who knows?

        • theworks on 26/07/2012 - 19:17
          -2

          I don't care that the deal is for christian books, i just care that there is dishonesty.

          There are a couple of reasons that I think this is suspicious;

          • Target market is relatively small; Lets assume that the spread of Christians and all other religions are 50/50

          • Now narrow it down to the people who are actively involved in religion

          • Now narrow it down to the people who would actually buy this stuff

          • Now narrow it down to the people who think this is a deal

          Theres not a whole lot of people in my mind that would be left at 9am, but there seemed to be a whole bunch online in the hour or two after this was posted.

          I voted/commented on a really good book deal that didnt get half that amount in days here that appealed to a much greater audience. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74136

        • penthius on 26/07/2012 - 20:34

          How is there dishonesty? This deal has 53+ not 5003+ what is the big deal? I don't get why so many have their panties in a knot.
          Christians might have + it, then perhaps book lovers + it, people with kids +it and then there is the others who may have + it just for being a good deal. Or they like the OP.

        • theworks on 26/07/2012 - 21:27

          12+ votes in less than 2 hours on an average at best deal that appeals to a small market segment. Its not the amount of votes it has now, its making the front page that counts because anything on there will naturally collect votes anyway.

        • kermuffle on 28/07/2012 - 15:32

          your latter two assumptions are redundant and should be included assumption number two.

          and in the end, a bargain is a bargain. don't like religious stuff? don't buy it!

          maybe a good analogy would be apple vs android: not a fan, don't buy it! if you want to be an isheep or fandroid there are better places to battle it out.

        Most of my friends I can see who "Like" Ozbargain via the facebook widget are Christian. Like Juice said, they see a deal they like and the vote it up. Most don't need to comment, and most Christians know aren't particularly vocal.

        What seems more dodgy is most of the comments here are from people who simply want to write something negative because they don't want to see a Christian deal posted up.

  • skayper on 26/07/2012 - 13:48

    Thanks Scotty!!

  • taize on 26/07/2012 - 14:00

    A regular deal but a good deal anyway

  • skhan86 on 26/07/2012 - 14:15

    how the hell did this page get any votes? there are only negative comments!!!!!

    • seanbaussie on 26/07/2012 - 16:28
      +2

      I don't comment on 90% of the deals I vote + for, but I only vote + when I think it's a real deal.

      This one is, because on the whole books are not cheap on the whole and so 20% off is a bargain.
      I often buy stocks of books for my company in bulk / several titles at once, and at the 25% off rate as it doesn't take much to get to $100 for 25% off + free shipping.

  • nanoronline on 26/07/2012 - 14:39

    20% discount in store and online. That's a good deal right there.

      i don't really get how religious items and adult items are related…. It's not hypocritical. Scotty posting an adult deal while the rest of us can't THAT is hypocritical…

    • Moderatorneil on 26/07/2012 - 19:37

      A troll, way to prove my point. What does a negative vote have anything to do with this deal? Your argument makes no sense especially as adult products such as lingerie and prophylactics (e.g. condoms) are allowed. In the past, users have gotten in trouble for viewing NSFW deals. We try to make this site safe for work as we cater to a general audience.

      Keep discussion on topic. This is about the Koorang sale. If you don't want to see these deals, you can hit the hide from listing button above.

    Guys,putting aside the religious angle (whatever floats your boat),is this really a bargain. The first book I saw on their page was this little beauty:
    http://www.koorong.com/search/product/amr-yeshua-g-p-taylor-…
    Still can't compete with book depository (delivered):
    http://booko.com.au/products/9781860248290

    Haven't seen enough in my extensive research to neg it but from my sample it is worth a neutral vote at best.

      The sale is available in store as well, and without the delivery charge it's cheaper than Book Depository.
