WTF ..that's it ?


OK so their clues were not abstract enough so they had to do this?

Why not have a clue that just says "It's on ebay somewhere"


HTF do they get 3d Ergonomic Computer Peripheral for big ears?!

No, they now may have paypal icons.

Check out this site for some great tips and updates on the treasure hunt. as you can read on that site, ebay has tried to shut them down 😀

I guess it's b/c of the macy's day parade
 
THIS GAME IS SO RETARDED :|. LAST NIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO SLEEP, I DECIDED TO RUN SOME SEARCHES WORKING ON THE CLUE "TALLULAH".... FIGURED IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH BANKHEAD FAMILY AND FOUND THE FATHER WAS A CONFEDERATE. I RAN A THOROUGH SEARCH FOR THAT TERM AND I NEVER CAME ACROSS SUCH AUCTION. THAT 1000 SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE :|
 
Either this treasurehunt is rigged or you have to do a VERY specific search in order for the item to appear.

My FIRST search was George Foreman Grill for boxing great. Did I win? Of course not...
 
Finding the right auction is impossible. Some of them make sense, most of them don't. Oh well, wonder if Ebay is getting the publicity they were hoping for...that's quite a bit of money they are giving away.
 
I checked every damn BIN Kennedy listing (10 pages!) with no luck for the "gateway to space" clue. Of course the answer was still somehow "kennedy space center patch" ARGHH!!!!
