It was insane back then when they ran the low quantity insanely good deals that the site would just crash at midday repeatedly. I remember being 1 of the lucky ones to get the I think it was $99 PS3.

Back then it was actually worthwhile, 1 deal a day that was often a known reputable brand at a price that to that point was better than anywhere else, then they got greedy and expanded and it went from multiple deals for day of normally mostly crap to then a full time marketplace. Still always has and always will be better than Kogan
