Members of the Month
CheapBrah for posting the most voted deal in May, $1 off All Orders @ Amazon AU that caused all the one dollar products went out of stock on Amazon, and Flex drivers gone crazy all around the country.
cloudy for posting the most clicked deal in May, Peugeot E-2008 GT SUV MY23 (Orange Fusion) from $39,990. We have seen lots of EV deals over the last couple of months — sometimes multiple Tesla price drops in a matter of days. However it looks like multiple ozbargainers actually bought the Pug and took the delivery.
nocure for posting the most deals in May. He has posted 43 deals with vote average of +35.4. Most voted deal posted by nocure last month was Free Air Fryer Dessert Recipes eBook @ Amazon. nocure has also recently become the user posted most deals on OzBargain —- 5,431 deals as of this morning since nocure registered his account ten and half years ago.
shaneb for posting the most voted competition in May, Win 1 of 12 $1,000 Coles Gift Cards from 10Play / Network Ten. Shane has also posted the most competitions last month — 148 comps posted with vote average of +11.3.
Congratulations!
