I think the whole treasure hunt thing is a con. The clues and answers are so obscure that you have to be able to spend all day on the computer. There are an awful lot of people that have a life and cannot spend all day looking for ridiculous answers which bear no resemblance to the clues or hints. I use ebay constantly as a buyer and seller but am really insulted by this treasure hunt thing and think that real users should be rewarded in a fairer way than this.

I wish they would say if an item has been won so I can give up looking for it. Also someone told me that a pop or something pops up if you get the right item saying you've found it now win it.

dont you think it would be a good idea to put an advertisement for tsumi disaster relief on the front page of ebay instead of this silly treasurehunt toss. and a way to donate directly through paypal. as well as advertising this on their stupid tv ads?

Me too!!!!

I once sat searching for hours on end,
Scratching my head & driving myself round the bend.
Looking for a tip i returned to the treasure hunt board,
To my amazement the prize had soared.

Right up in the sky like a vanishing jumbo jet
Another early departure i'd like to bet
Took off early so they say
No explanation from ebay

I am totally hacked of with this game my children have been guessing the hidden clues going to what they think is the item and have stupidly bought several pretty useless objects i have emailed persons who are selling and hope they have a sense of humour i have not!!!!

paddydoc1975 · ‎31-12-2004

If you find the item which you think is the treasure hunt item what do you do?

>> If you find the item which you think is the treasure hunt item what do you do?

LOOK .. It's simple .. you cannot mistake if you have won or not ... the WHOLE page is filled with a "E-BAY Congratulations you have found it .. Now win it!!!" Picture.

Seriously, you will have no doubt at all in your mind as soon as you see it !!!!!

SEARCHED EVERY DAY SOMETIMES ALL DAY BUT WITH NO LUCK AS PER USUAL OBVIOUSLY COULDNT GET THE BRAIN IN GEAR. AND TOMMORROW ,WELL MAYBE A FEW BEVVIES LATER ON MIGHT JUST SPARK OFF THE SEARCH ENGINE---I LOVE THE TREASURE HUNT BUT, I LIKE 12 PRIZES OR 24 LIKE ONE AN HOUR OR SIMILAR.I REALLY THINK IT IS MORE INTERESTING.

mrs_forum_lurker · ‎31-12-2004

I've had a blast, although its been frustrating at times for the most part its been fun.

The most annoying thing though is FL always seemed to know the answers, but never when I was actually hunting, or if he did he told me too late lol.

I've loved the way this has messed up peoples minds, TSP especially (ref her test post hehe) but most of all how so many of you think that me and FL are Pinks in disguise lol

But especially how everyone has come together and shared their ideas, most of which have been the correct answers.

And my last point, how the elves have managed not to lose their cool with the amount of posts that have been posted screaming at them. Don't think we would have stayed so calm lol

mrs_forum_lurker · ‎31-12-2004

erm how come Alexias post is pinned and Richards isnt? Is that because he was a naughty boy and messed up the porsche prize? ]:)

jsksrj · ‎31-12-2004

This is an extremely irritating game. On Thursday, I went through every Ford Anglia on the site as soon as the prize was released and kept popping back until it had closed. Even when it had closed I went back through all the Ford Anglias. Why didn't the "You have found it, now win it" screen pop up??

This was the first time I had actually got the right answer. I allow popups on Ebay.

Where exactly was "Ford Anglia Instruction Book – 1959"?

mrs_forum_lurker · ‎31-12-2004

Theres nothing to pop up jsksrj . The You've found it message is in the form pf a picture along with that days prize, where the description usually is lol
