Some good deals but also a North Korea-like cult
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'
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
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.

Bargain hunter site
This is the best website for finding bargain. Not only can you search by the top deals, you can also search for a particular item. I have found most of my Christmas presents for less than half of retail price on this website. Strongly recommend.

My go to place for most bargains
For someone passive who just go in to view the specials, this is a good site. The site has a strong community that people will update what are the local specials. I don't post anything but it seems like the site has strict rules of posting and like most online medium, some of the active users might make mean remarks for those postings. I also don't recommend that you subscribe to the daily mailing list unless you don't mind your mailbox flooded with the same-ish specials

Worst site ever! Stay away.
I have made a post following their guidelines and following how other people post. That was my very first post.
They placed me into a Penalty box FOREVER. No warning, nothing. And because I am in that penalty box, I am not even allowed to talk to a moderator to know the reasons.
What a rude disgusting bunch of people. Horrible, horrible. horrible.
How can you treat people like that?
Absolutely unprofessional and rude. This company shouldn't be in business at all.

Great site
Many deal breakers are found on here although it is sometimes very difficult for you to miss out some unbelievable deals if you only look at the home page because many others would snatch it before it even gets to you. Also sometimes you think you are saving by buying at a cheap price but you are actually spending a lot of money.
I would recommend only for the free products or ones that are below 100

Great way to find new deals and save money.
I've followed OzBargain for a while now, not only do you have deals on the front page, but the comments provide good advice on whether a product is worth it or not.

Once a treasure of deals losing its glory
Been visiting this sight for 4 years now and can see significant change in the direction the website is headed. People in that community take things too personal. You can see all types of Internet trolls there from keyboard crusaders to bullies. At times it can be very intimidating to involve in a conversation. A simple joke can turn into your worst nightmare. These days I only visit the website for occational good deals but don't involve in the conversation much.

A place for shady can push their cheap Chinese imports.
Was searching for a DJI drone and was directed to Ozbargain as a place to go for the best price. In actual fact it is just a sad community of keybaord warriors who never buy anything but trawl the internet for cheap products oblivious to the fact that they are shipped from China without a valid Asutralian warranty and then try and push them on those looking for a genuine bargain. Would easily catch the less aware out who would part with their hard earned wages and recieve a fake/inferior product. The owner/regulators should be ashamed.

A nice hobby
OzBargain is a great tool for spending money wisely. As with so many things it gets more rewarding once you know your way around and explore all the nooks and crannies. The forums are helpful, so is the option to sign up for email alerts for specials you care about especially.

This is perfect! Can't live without it.
But then the trolls await the billy goats to clop clop clop across the bridge.
In all honesty, the site is OK, it's more of a forum with som deals that are posted.many deals are often so limited or in short supply that you will miss out regardless. Then you have the issue of professional shoppers, those that buy out a supply of something only to re-sell it on ebay or elsewhere swallowing up what stock is left.Best tactic is to watch for ALL deals, not just those that make the homepage as some genuinely good stuff flies under the radar. Also watch the affiliate links, make sure you click the word "Affiliate" then "Direct Link" to deprive the site of it's shared revenue. *evilgrin*

What was once a useful and community based site is now a commercially-driven, over-moderated cesspoo
I have fond memories of OzBargain and the many deals it brought me years ago. This was back when it was a much smaller site but the users posted deals to benefit each other and not themselves (referrals).
Although there were less deals back then, they were quality deals and they would always be accompanied by a number of insightful comments about the product and whether there were better deals to be had. Nowadays, all you see are 'free ebooks' this and 'free apps/udemy courses' that, things that can be found on other, less cumbersome sites ...Read more
and things that barely anyone will actually benefit from. Comments are now low effort and mainly involve trash talking against the minority groups. The site had evolved to this stage ever since 'badges' were introduced which basically encouraged these low effort deals and comments to be posted. There's even a badge for posting a comment every day of the month. Nowadays, you have to sift through the junk to get to the good stuff. I would say that the site first started dying when Neil and Scotty decided to allow certain users become 'powerusers' aka moderators. This basically let them go around censoring posts and comments as they saw fit with no justification required whatsoever. Obviously, long time contributors were not impressed with this change and as they had no say in the matter, decided to leave, with some even starting their own bargain site. All in all, I would not recommend contributing to this site unless you want to be treated like dirt for trying to help people. Lurk if you are incredibly bored but don't bother engaging in discussion with those who continue to use this site unless you have extra brain cells to lose.Similar opinion?
