Anyone Playing This Ebay Contest?($1,000 25 times per day)

I was soooo close after trying it for the 1st time not long ago with the "I thought I saw"......... clue.
They give a clue, you try to solve the puzzle,do a search, and look for the hidden prize. $1,000 given 25 times per day.Something to kill time when you are bored....... http://pages.ebay.com/treasurehunt/getclues.html

The one that was just up, "The woman who changed a nation" was solved very quickly, but I don't get the title it was listed under......??

Thanks, love contests!

---FISH---

I was also thinking that Tesco. I suppose all this basically is........is a race to see who can solve the "riddle" first and then find the hidden listing. There's one from yesterday that everyone's had a problem with that's still hasn't been found. Usually they are found withinn an hour of their posting.

anyone else playing this? I tried for like a half hour. very addicting, and very very frustrating.

Playing and almost as bad as

watching NBA basketball.

Anyone at this?

my Mom called me yesterday to tell me about it....said i'd be good at it....i looked at it for a few but it is very frustrating.....alot of things dont make sense....gl

Man Sherman, I was so close to this one......

I was looking in the right section, but the problem is, sometimes theres 100-400 pages to look through!!:shocked:
It's just getting to it before someone else does. I thought possibly it would be closer to the "New Listings" instead of the "Ending Soonest" , but it's probably random. MIght be a good idea to just pick a page in the middle somewhere and start......

yeah, they had one yesterday called spin and win so i told my mom to look for pat sajack or vanna white stuff or something to do with a casino.....of course it was some kind of casino chip.....

good luck if u continue to play.....

i dont get this contest. Almost evey ad is browsed by somebody each day even without a clue.

What if you just browse for it (not knowing the contest) and see that
banner, is the contest over then?

If so, I ought to write a program to crawl all the listings... and then sell copies of it on eBay. I'd make a fortune.

Crossed my mind too (for personal use that is, not selling), but I'm sure eBay is on the lookout for that and will block IP's exhibiting high bandwidth usage.
