The very first thing that popped into my head was James Dean.
I said out loud James Dean???
I have super fast cable internet.
I have a super fast computer.
There were only 350 James Dean items after filtering.
But I searched Easy Rider and Wild Ones first.
Aaaaaargh!
I would have found that in under 5 minutes.
Me too... after all the brain-warping stretches we've had to make to get some of these clues to make sense at all, I said "nah... way too obvious" and went on to 'biker' etc.
I got right to James Dean as well. But there's supposed to be a 'chain' such that clue leads to 'answer' leads to 'something else'--search on 'something else' and you'll find the winning auction. Needless to say that's not how some of them work. For some of them, you don't even need to find a clue---rabbit, anyone?
I immediately thought to type in James Dean in search.
But then I was wondering if I recalled him on a motorcycle so much.
The motorcycle association threw me off.
What movies did he ride a motorcycle?
I also had a problem refreshing so I would go the back to the home page and go back around and then it would be updated. It worked for me when the refresh didn't work. That's the way I'm still doing it. In addition to refreshing.
I was also kickin myself on James Dean...you need to take it into a perspective as item. yes james dean is clue but what more you needto ad to the search... mug poster...print etc.
I was more suprized how quick the bourbon mardi gras was solved. I know these posts are sponsered but who knows you have bad ebayers out there also...have friends jack up their bids..easily they could giive answer to an aquaintance how is ebay to know any different
