Starting On Friday... the new Competition

[hnutford@ebay.com]

Now I know this isn't a Treasure Hunt, and some of you will will be disappointed, but here is the new amusement coming your way: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/100kgiveaway/

It doesn't start until later in the week, so there's no need to worry. we'll be able to answer your questions in the next few days.


We'll rename the board a bit later in the week, and change the logo. When it's all done, we'll turn it all back into the Treasure Hunt Board.

Promise. 🙂

Henry

Hi Tigger. Yes, you can do 5 no-purchase necessary entries every day. It doesn't matter whether you choose buy or sell. Ideally they want you to put the following in the box:

NP:[the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers]

but they have said that they won't be excluding people just because they don't put NP or forget to put brackets, or put the wrong type of brackets. Aren't they good?!

Based on that I would say that your 5 entries that you've done today should be OK. Good luck! 🙂

How are you feeling now? I haven't seen you around for a long time.

[the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers]

Chunky, a big thank you!!!


I think my brain is still scrambled with the anithestic and the morphine 😞

I did read somewhere that you needed to do something to your ID but couldnt remember what!!!


Crosses fingers that the elfs will let mine through as I would love a subscription to a mag so I can pass my time getting over my hysterectomy (I am not greedy!!)PMSL

I am quite happy to win anything, I got my mug yesterday and I was delighted with it!!!
Woffles done a great job of the art work, if it was left to me then it would have been a plain white mug LOL

Getting there slowly but surely 🙂

Missing the boards and peeps like mad, but my pooter chair is sooo uncomfortable at the mo and I am awating a new one:-(


Thanks for helping me and thanks for asking after me x

I will remember to put.....


NP:[the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers]

[chunky-chocky]

Awww Tigger 🙂 Glad to hear that you seem a bit more like yourself again...but hope you are feeling 100% better soon. Good luck for the magazine subscription! 🙂

[radioshed]

HI tiggs 🙂

[naughty_elf@ebay.com]

BTW, one of the reasons it took us a long time to filter all the entries and announce the first winners is that we had to redo all the filtering.

On our initial run, everyone had who entered more than 5 times in any given day got the heave ho, as per the rules.

However, we felt that that was not really in the spirit of things (and we'd told you as much on these boards), so the agency who's helping us with this promo kindly reran the whole process, reducing people down to 5 entries max, rather than eliminating them.

So hurrah for all agency stars (who must remain nameless!) for all their hard work on that and the rest of the promo!

[the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers]

Pops back in.........


Hi Netta x


Naughty elf....... Thats great that you have retrained the agency staff, but did you retrain them enough to sort out my mess of filling in the item number box with...


the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers


And not....

NP:[the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers]


I can just see the agency staff scratching their heads with my entry (all 5 of them) LOL


All I wanted was a magazine subscription to help me recover-HINT HINT 😉

*must read instructions on the £100 grand give away*


Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[naughty_elf@ebay.com]

no problem, the-wonderful-thing-about-tiggers...think they can manage that!
:-)

actually, a couple of np entries didn't have underscores in them but we worked out who they were with a bit of detective work...but for best chance of winning, enter details clearly and correctly!!

[chunky-chocky]

I thought they were going to announce the winners of the holidays today. I presume nobody from the boards has been contacted then...shame, I much prefer it when it is one of us that wins!

[kittylulabelle]

Hello, Nora! You found me, then?!? What??? I've won a years supply of Lambrini? You sure know how to spoil a girl! ARF!!!

Hello everyone!

I haven't been kidnapped, had my pinkery revoked or forgotten how to find the internet, but I have been unable to come on here to give you fine folks an update of the goings on in the giveaway for two days due to generous lashings of the work stick from the big cheeses at HQ. For which sincere apologies. Again. You were not forgotten!

On my return, on w/e and on the occasional sneaky peek taken today whilst no one was looking, I have really enjoyed seeing all the winners on here being so effusive. Really fun to see people winning and rejoicing right in front of one's elfen eyes. Congratulations to all the winners so far!!!

Regarding the next sets of winners...
*pauses for dramatic effect*

I can confirm the following:

* The four winners of the ThomasCook.com prizes should have received a call today or a message today. So if you haven't, it's unlikely that it's you. Really sorry if you weren't one of the lucky ones but congrats and "Can I come?" if you were.

* Useless facts: There were 3 buy winners and 1 sell winner, no NP necessary winners. Combined sale price of the 4 items involved was about £25! Pretty similar to the car, where your own batty_tony got his top prize for nowt *finance team shakes fist at sniggering naughty_elf* and the second car was won by someone buying a £20 item for a VW. Bargain!

* Our promo agency colleagues cranked the handle til their hands were rubbed red raw and have now produced the shortlists of remaining winners for the Collectables themed promo and the Lifestyle themed promo.

* It's now up to me, Mr/Mrs/Ms/Master naughty_elf (which one is it?! ) to validate these two sets of winners by teatime tomorrow. Just imagine an elf the size of a teapot looking at a pile of paper the height of nelson's column and you'll get the picture!!

* The agency will then (hopefully but not guaranteed - legal disclaimer ) begin contacting winners on Thursday. Given there will be 530+ winners to be contacte, that may take some time. We will ask our agency friends to do the Siemens prizes first, so that the winners of these biggie prizes will hear the good news before Easter, so they can annoy friends and family by telling them all about it repeatedly, ad nauseam, over and over gain, now and forevermore.

* Regarding publication of the answers etc etc, that will follow as soon after as possible. Thinking about it, it may be that the 500 isubscribe winners that may see their name on the published winners list before they get a phone call, give we'd like to get that up pre the end of the easter break, chocolate scoffing allowing.

* We'll also try to give you some additional info a little later on, as well as listen to your thoughts on this competition and what you did or didn't like about it.

But first things first! We shall take care of business tomrrow, the work stick permitting, so hopefully you will hear some good news soon!

Good luck one and all!

[ewert123]

work stick ??!!

Is this the new Elfie word for Plank ?

hehe

[kyella1133]

Hope you all enjoy your Easter break, especially you elfie! :-x

[tassant]

awww, kyella that is sooo cute!

[radioshed]

🙂 just wondering if there is going to be a list of the rest of the winners??

[naughty_elf@ebay.com]

There will be another list. Will put it up soon. Probably tomorrow and then the Collectables winners next week. Yup! Interesting factoids and your views on this comp solicited after that. But for now, it's bank holiday weekend! WOO HOO!!!
