I remember racing down to my local dick smith and picking up 2 X of these bad boys. Last one of them died today after 11+ years of service.

    $2 castrol edge 5w30 5 litres from supercheap - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/442101. Still have two bottles of it. Car i bought it for we no longer have but now the other car is out of warranty so i'm servicing it and can finally use it up

    Comments on that post are a ride - i'm sure someone got fired over that price error

  • Clear on 25/05/2024 - 23:12

    I miss all those random $2 or so deals from Dick Smith back in the day.

    Put a little tap on it for ease of refilling.

    My eneloops are still going strong.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 26/05/2024 - 07:52

      Same my OG ones from 2010 still got decent juice lmao

    Many years ago OzB alerted me to the fact that at one point, for a short 'window' of about 6 weeks, you could make a small PROFIT by buying Eneloops from 'Catch OTD', if you just kept referring … erm … a 'mate' of yours who had an email address. I still have many Eneloops, and most remain functional/hold charge.

    Need a ‘bought because of OzB, but have not used’ post

      I don't think scotty's servers could handle that one. Best to just leave it be.

      • Worf on 26/05/2024 - 10:03

        Lols

      Let me summarise:

      Condom deals.

      Yeah it was probably salvageable but I kind of wanted an excuse to create an alert for an air compressor 🙊

  • Mechz on 26/05/2024 - 13:29

    My sub-$300 Nikon D3300 with lense kit is still going strong from 2015.

  • nobby on 26/05/2024 - 14:15

    My trusty battery charger is still running https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/111802. Will be hitting 11 years old later this year.

  • singlemalt72 on 28/05/2024 - 10:33

    I got this awesome air compressor deal at supercheap a couple years ago - excellent compressor, use it all the time at home and 4WDing

    • singlemalt72 on 28/05/2024 - 10:37

      Damn, just saw there is a recall on this model, but users say you get $300 refund when you return it - looks like time for a new compressor!
