A Treaure Hunt Story?
What about the story of the Missing Pinks?

[opaqueentity]

Or the story of the Missing Notifications? Or the one about the Ebayers wasting their times searching for something that was found right away but having no idea as theres nothing to say an item has been found on the Treasure Hunt page? Snappy title for that one I feel.
I am so happy I'm not searching today.

I have completely and utterly 'LOST THE PLOT'. I'm spending hours after hours, searching for the most outrageous things that come to mind! Was so pleased when I got the answer - David Copperfield, but I couldn't find anything, or maybe, I was so searched out that I went straight past it?????
I HATE THIS, I HATE THIS EBAY - HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO US!!!! I WANT A PRIZE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, HELP ME!!!!

[musso11]

I'm gutted. I found two prizes today but they had both gone. The trouble is I have also bought two things I didn't want by pressing BIN cuz I thought it might be the prize. Guess somebody will be getting a watch and a cd from me for christmas!

Brilliant idea this treasure hunt but so addictive I'm not even watching football, guess I'll miss Christmas day as well

Cheers

[missbaims]

tried and failed again viscum album music album,white glue,bing crosby white christmas,urban, built up,city baycity rollers also mistletoe supposedly has something to do with fertility,tried all these oh and alice cooper your poison,why oh why do i bother

[ermintrude1969]

here was my thinking earlier on today.. mistletoe (teatime clue watch out)..> and wine> cliff richard> "watch out it's Cliff" from the last episode of the young ones..so I searched and searched young ones, double decker,even special patrol group (how sad am I? lol) but alas to no avail ah well never mind I might ring in sick tomorrow...

Ever since i found out about eBay's hidden treasure i've been hastling my mates at school to give me any words relating to the clue. People have stopped talking to me in fear of being interrogated about the daily clue. I realise that this isn't healthy for me but who cares when i could win a mini ipod, laptop, car, or even some new friends who can make three - step lateral word associations. Oh and by the way i've actually worked out how long it would take to search through all of the current items on ebay. If you wanted to search each item one by one it would take you 187 DAYS. Don't even try!

i got to the auction 5 seconds short for the string bag of chocolate 35 and today i did get to the winning auction for the chocolate Hershey 5kg chocolate it said you've found it now win it i even clicked the buy it now button as i got there first only to find i wasn't signed in and the split second it took me to sign in someone was on my trail i was screaming the house down but its all a bit of fun wether u win or not
but here's hoping i do....
great idea
