15% Off at Deals Direct and Free Delivery at OO.com.au

Scott on 2007-07-23 in Deals Direct, OO.com.au, PayPal | 6

PayPal AU has just released their latest merchant offer website. Actually the format is still the same — 9 merchants in random rotation with special offers if you pay in PayPal. Just that the domain name is sort-of new. Moreover, there are new PayPal discount offers! Let me just pick two which I think are very [...]

Trezr Sold for $30k on eBay

Scott on 2007-07-22 in Website, eBay | 0

Via ProBargainHunter, Trezr, a US-based bargain sharing website that I reviewed in September last year, was sold on eBay for $30,100.01 with only 4,000 visitors and 7,500 page views a month but runs on a $79/month dedicated server. As I have already commented on Yan’s blog, 4k visitors a month is less than 135 visitors [...]

Recently I have come across another Australian bargain sharing website as it was advertised here via Google AdWords — Fobo.com.au. According to its About page, Fobo is the leading Social Bargain Sharing website for Australian consumers. Based on the idea of community bargain sharing, our users can not only share and recommend bargains but also vote [...]

Scott on 2007-07-21 in Tips | 5

Ross Gittins is Sydney Morning Herald’s economy editor and is one of my favourite — he has the ability to decipher economy to a point that even a software guy like me could understand. He has written an interest article a few days ago on the Herald, titled The Uninformed Pay the Price. An [...]

Scott on 2007-07-17 in Catch Of The Day, Daily Deals | 0

Daily Deals’s Catch A Thon number 7 is on Today! It has been a month since their last one, and it was promised to be the biggest ever (which sort of makes sense as they accumulate more and more deals so each time it just gets bigger). And the website speed pretty much proves how big [...]

As predicted last week, we are seeing more airfare deals this week! Moreover, it is again Jetstar ranked at the top — quality of in-flight service aside, they surely know how to make buzz!

Kmart Toy Sale — It is Here!

Scott on 2007-07-02 in Big W, Kmart, Toys | 4

Over the last couple of days many visitors have landed on this blog when they searched Kmart Toy Sale on Google, where last year’s sale page was ranked on the first page. I checked Kmart’s website earlier this morning and it was still showing last week’s catalogue. I have just checked again and it is [...]

Quick Deals of the Week (1 July 2007)

Scott on 2007-07-01 in Weekly | 4

It has been a quiet week for me — I went to Melbourne for a couple of days to attend a wedding, and believe it or not, it was my first time going to Melbourne for non-work related reason. So instead of travelling between airport and office, I actually got to check out a [...]
