Feeling a bit sentimental about the growth of this site that’s become a daily part of my life over the last few years. Some of my favourite forums to read have been about the best deals that other users have landed and I’d love to see an up-to-date one as we hit this milestone.

I have a few questions; what was the most memorable deal you were able to get through OzBargain (bonus points for the URL)? Have you seen a deal so good that you kept it to yourself and not posted it? If so, what was it? Confession time.

  Also shared in this one back in the day. One I did miss unfortunately was when everyone grabbed the BOSE soundbars at an awesome price

    Come on Neil! Bold of you to assume JV is still with the Mrs after all these years.

Received a free 32" monitor from Officeworks from a pricing error. Transaction was cancelled, money refunded, but they still sent the monitor.

I think the real value of Ozbargain is in the forums.

For years my approach was to invest in stock and real estate but I’m now shifting this to Pokémon cards which I will pay for using gift cards

I think the friends we made along the way was the best deal.
AustriaBargain on 10/02/2025 - 17:37

The real deal was the deals we found along the way.

Free pod coffee machine plus a $6 profit (via Cashback redemption), free sample pack of pods (claimed online) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/140564?page=4#comment
- GoIdDigger on 10/02/2025 - 18:22
  
  That’s a sweet deal. What’s your honest opinion of the coffee it makes? Must be pretty bad surely
  - loulou1 on 10/02/2025 - 19:18
    
    Yeah, it’s junk LOL but I also got one as a gift for the monster in law so I had quite a sense of satisfaction about that.

Sub-$600 return flight to Dubai on Emirates.

Easily my most memorable purchase.

The best was the forums. I was able to just chitchat without revealing myself in person or getting any extra views from my friends. Thanks mates. I appreciate the forum

8c/kg bananas. People were scheming to get them cheaper by purchasing a 1/4 kg at a time and paying cash.
