Here is a link:

http://pages.ebay.com/treasurehunt/getclues.html


They post 25 a day, and the first person to find the listing wins $1000.

basically they give you a clue, and you search for the item, and the special item has a link on it or instructions on how to claim it or something.

i wish my company could give out $25,000 a day...\
no wonder they have to raise fees.

Those clues fucking suck. I'd have a better chance looking for hundred dollar bills in trash bins...

no, kidding.

I think the person that wins just happens to be looking at the auction at the right time.

There are a few that I would have come up with, eventually, but yea, most clues are really tough.

Still, its annoying when they get solved five minutes after being posted... at least ridiculous clues give people more of a chance.

So frustrating... Prision in the bay = Alcatraz = The Rock = Dwayne Johnson pillow cases? That's what I thought... I was wrong.

I spent 1 1/2 hrs on Friday looking for this:
A movie, a Dakota city

Figure that was easy enough...Fargo

So I typed it in and searched...and searched...and searched...

Stupid me...Turns out it was a Franciscan Piggy Bank ...I should have known by the obvious clues in the title......
