OzBargained
The term used to describe the process, act or the resulting aftermath of a freebie or bargain once reported to the OzBargain website. Often caused by swarms of individuals seeking self gain, even for items such as $0.01 digital thermometers or iPhone screen protectors. Sites that have been "OzBargained" usually experience server crashes and depleted stocks.

OzBargain
OzBargain was once a reputable Australian website which was community driven, where users could post bargains, freebies and deals.
However those days are over, as most of the deals posted are now sponsored advertised posts.
For example eBay deals are often posted by associated sponsered users, but are never marked as such.
The website now promotes dirty business practices such as "price jacking" (where a business claims they are having a big 20% off sale, but actually raise prices prior to the sale starting, resulting in the prices being more expensive). They also allow users to posts advertising of products at RRP with no discounts as bargains (Nintendo SNES mini console is a popular example).
The majority of users on the website are now sheeples, and unable to tell what a real bargain is anymore. Instead they are easily manipulated by popular shill users, that sneakily post sponsered/affiliated posts as bargains without the sheeples being aware.

Man: Check this out wifey this company is giving away a non-stick fry pan, should I get one?
Woman (enters from kitchen, where she rightfully belongs cooking up a well deserved meal to the hard working (refer back to cheap and unemployed) husband doing nothing but scrolling through ozbargain on his lunch break from doing nothing)
Woman: No it's going to be ozbargained and they will just end up stealing our detai...
Man cuts off woman and waves her back to the kitchen. In disbelief he quickly enters false details.
Man then spends the next month looking out the window and pouncing on the postie accusing him of stealing their mail as the non-stick fry pan has not yet arrived.
This company has been ozbargained.
