How close have you gotten?

On the last two, i was looking for george foreman grills and buses and gave up one page early.

[kenwood978]

I looked up George Foreman Grills to begin with.. never got to purple.. darn it:_|

[jaysour]

I did do a search on Looney Toons. I must have just not gone far enough or something

[stlstevejr]

i've been on the winning listing 3 times but too late.
someone wins well before they post on the clue page.
for gfgrills it was like 8 minutes later before they posted won, (I refreshed every 10 secs)

I just went thru the foreman grills, couldn't find anything that looked like a winner. I also guest the Bionic game but got there right after the clue was solved.
I can't seem to figure out how to click and win.

it sucks cuz george foreman grill was the first thing that came to mind

[cdbackupsnow]

I searched Looney Tunes and George Foreman grill and never found it. Now I see they have changed the rules also - no more mention of them being BIN auctions. I have serious doubts this is at all legit. Perhaps some are and others aren't.

[rastamasta44]

where in the rules is it changed my brother says it still says BIN

[sabrat92]

Sooooooooo cloooooossseeee that I was already picturing my hot bath..........:(

[enchantoys]

Closest I've been?

The Eiffel Statue of Liberty, I went to search that. The Marilyn Monroe I JUST missed, and the playing cards one I was searching for but never saw.

[whirledpeas1009]

The winning items are all Buy It Nows. The game would take forever if they weren't! Lol, and that's per Ebay.


Everything else that we were using from before, like only click on ones that aren't all CAPS, that only have a camera icon, that don't say "new" or "look" doesn't work any more. You have to basically open up all of the buy it nows.

I still dont' think Ebay is going to spell incorrectly, otherwise it would mess up people's searches, and that could lead to trouble. So don't waste your time opening up items that aren't spelled properly.
