in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
I don't think this has been posted before. Over the Xmas period Ebay are offering thousands of prizes. A clue word and cryptic clue is annouced, you then search for things that you can associate with them. They are currently offering mini Ipods.

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/treasurehunt/

It is worth looking at previous clues to see how there twisted minds work!!

Happy hunting - this will have you glued to your computer more than Argos!!!! ;D

Maybe we could have our own discussion board

    Just a quick update with regards to T & C's

    7. eBay users may only win one prize each during this promotion.

    2. In order to be eligible to win a prize, the winning entrant must be the first eBay user to find and commit to buy one of the items offered as a part of this promotion on eBay.co.uk.

    with regards to 7, don't think ppl will be too upset if they win an Ipod and can't win a bigger prize later on!!

    just be careful that the item isn't a spoof, as far as i know you only have to 'buy it now' but don't need to pay for it........

    Happy hunting
