We had a question the other day about what the best time to post is. Generally in the afternoon/night and on weekdays is the best bet to have the most eyes on the deal. However, it got me wondering to what time most people post deals:
.
Seems 9am-5pm is the sweet spot. Guess we're all OzBargaining when we're at work
Here is votes vs. posting time:
- Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is this week.
- It's OzBargain's 18th birthday next month. Join a meetup.

Members of the Month
vr4indian for posting the most voted non-rep deal last month, MG ZS EV Excite MY23 - from $34,990 Driveaway. It's also the second most clicked deal last month at over 18,000 click-throughs to MG's website. I wonder how many actually made the purchase and whether I am expecting to see more ZS EV on the road in the coming months. The most voted deal last month was Amino Z WPI 4kg $159.99 Delivered posted by Jay @ AminoZ.
Hiphopopotamus is again awarded for posting the most deals last month — 122 deals with vote average of +46.2, most popular being this $5 Bonus Cashback on $50 Spend @ Cashrewards.
shaneb for posting the most voted, most clicked and most entered competition last month, Win a Vokswagen T-Roc X. Car comps did historically get more votes/entries. shaneb has also posted the most competitions last month — 228 comps posted with vote average of +12.3.
Moderators have recommended WookieMonster to win an award this month for being an outstanding Power User, who has edited 400 posts and contributed in the power user discussions. Thanks!
