If Ozbargain was a country, it would be North Korea!

published

Looks like Kim Jong Un of Ozbargain and his few sycophants are the only ones gaining from this website.

I am told they make about $10M in a year. If the whole idea is to build a community which help each other find a bargain for nothing in return then why [Name Removed] makes a fortune out of it and doesn't give back to the community!



It is all a sham! Worthless site.

I have been using Ozbargain for over 2 years and have discovered many fantastic deals & promotions, deals updated throughout the day and the search features allows you to search for past offers.

Heaps of good deals, relatively decent community

published

I've gotten plenty of good deals through OzB. The comments section is always helpful when it comes to clarifying things about the product.

As with any internet forum, there will always be members who just like arguing, trolling, feel extremely entitled, or are just rude. But that's the exception rather than the norm on OzBargain, fortunately.

Stay Away!

There is a lot of bullying, harassment, inappropriateness and rudeness on the site - an extremely toxic culture. Also not many good deals. Negative stars if possible.

Great site. Use it everyday

published

This is a great site that focuses on getting the most bang for your buck. As is the case in real life, there is the odd character that that may get up your nose. Generally found the people to be extremely helpful and quick to respond to any genuine questions. Cannot rate it highly enough.

Worse site I ever found

published

Stay away. No bargains - Forums are run by bullies, trolls, and stupid people who try to put you down......feels like a school yard. Not sure why its still an active site. An example of the worse of the "online"

Zero if available

Affiliate links injected between your site and the bargain so you get a referral payment.
Mods that actively support and encourage bullying, teasing, lying and harassment.
Mods that refuse to address anything counter to their interests when questioned.
Toxic pet members with stupid nil value comments like "Any Bargains?"
Submitted 'bargains' that aren't!
Submitted "bargains" that are regularly available from a catalogue.

The site was good once, these days, it is absolutely garbage,

TERRIBLE SITE. DO NOT USE. NO ACTUAL DEALS TO BE HONEST.

published

I have been a member for quite a few years now. Before it was good but now it's a useless site.
The users are mostly rude and arrogant who like to make fun of each other.

Terrible Site

published

Tried using Bargain for my business to promote a sale. Apparently because i didn't receive any likes from my post i was banned from posting for 1 month as they said it wasn't a good enough bargain for them. If a High Adjustable desk with 10 years warranty 1800mm long under $600 is not a good deal then i dont know what is these days.
Do not use this site

It was excellent but now it is average.

published

I have been a member for a number of years. In the past there were genuine bargains and they were quite varied. Now it appears to be a lot of games and used as targeted advertising by people associated with businesses. I don't know if there just aren't the number of bargains anymore or if the variety of users is less.
Having said that I am still a regular visitor and still get some bargains. I also list any bargains I see but that is not often.

Was useful, now garbage

published

Use to be a great site, some great bargains were posted. Has been going downhill over last 3 to 4 years, with many below average 'deals' which are simply regular savings you can find in catalogs. There is A LOT of junk posted especially by Chinese retailers which appear to be great deals, but are the same price you can find on ebay, aliexpress and other sites. It's a real shame that such a good site has gone downhill so fast.

Hostile, misogynistic, homophobic and racist culture

published

Most of the comments and forum topics do not even mention bargains or savings. They very quickly stoop to racist taunts, homophobic 'jokes', and racist sledging.

eg Their idea of a 'funny' April fools gag was to poke fun at a Chinese 'takeover' of the site. Really!? My ten year old behaves better than these genius 'adults'.

They regularly poke fun at people's user names, their marital status, race, or sexual preference. Why?

Could be a front for some sort of Mens Rights Activism group. Something really needs to be done by the moderators who allow this rubbish to go on. Else it will surely escalate to a court action against them quite soon I'd predict.

Stay away.

Some good deals but also a North Korea-like cult

published

Don't bother trying to warn fellow users if a deal looks more like a scam than a bargain. It's infested with bullies who squash dissent.

Good luck finding a 'bargain'

published

This site is being increasingly overrun by Chinese-based stores offering low priced items disguised as bargains when they're indeed the RRP. The community blindly upvote posts from these Chinese retailers, under the impression they are getting a bargain (eg. item reduced from $4 to $1) despite it being the same price on the likes of eBay, while downvoting any individual whoo dissents from this view and exposes the blatant spam.

A toxic community bought by the cheap junk offerings of Chinese stores.'

Would recommend looking elsewhere as the site has gone significantly downhill from being a bargain site to posting 'deals' that are in fact RRp.

Mean people on OzBargain

published

OzBargain might be good for passive shoppers but watch out if you post any deals you find. Mean and rude members will tear you into pieces when all you want to do is share a deal you found. For this reason I've stopped sharing any deals because I cannot stand the mean members who do nothing but complain and scold you. A discount site for rude people.

What are the other alternative sites? Product review lists sites that aren't really alternative community moderated deal sites.
