Okay all you winners, let's try this again. Now that I got paid, I am willing to put a page up that shows everyone who won what and how they got it (what was the link that led them to the clue) I am sure you are tired of listening to belly achers as much as I am about how this thing was suppposed to be rigged and so on. Well, let's show them they just got beat fair and square. Send me a message or post it here which one you got and how, and I will put it all together, I gave a few from a previous post, so if you have already sent it directly to me, no need to send it again, but if you have not done so already, now is your chance. See the list at http://www.todd-brazil.org/winners.htm

I won #32 "Bobsleds, Big Thunder and Buzz Lightyear"

Disneyland vintage postcards

I used to work at disneyland (almost 20 years ago) and when I saw the clue I Immediately knew it was disneland (Bobsled ride, big thunder mountain, and Buzz lightyear is in toy story-a film by Pixar and Disney Studios. Searched for disneyland with filters to show shipping price, buy-it-now only, and it was the first listing with no gallery photo. It took all of 15 seconds once the clue was posted.

well, this is certainly slow going. Only one additional posting has been updated this morning. Hopefully once everyone is done spending their money, they will make the post!

jimandsandi, just so you know and you can change it on your site, i won clue 194 not 37.

Thanks and sorry ginerton, I will make that change on the next edit. I was having a few import issues when that happened. Thought I got it all fixed.

I won # 14. I just searched for the most obvious but thought to myself , its probably not it. The third auction down was it though. Lincoln Town Car park lamp set 🙂
I lucked out. I don't think people were really looking for the most obvious.

I won #111 "The Ace Flyer".
I remember from growing up that Snoopy was called The Flying Ace, so I did a search for "(snoopy,peanuts,woodstock)" since woodstock was always with snoopy. The clues seemed to be two steps away. The first step was to Snoopy, the second was to the bird woodstock. I searched multiple terms and did some word filtering using "Advanced search" to narrow down the results then just kept clicking till I got lucky. I haven't gotten my $ yet though.

I won #23 - helped steer lots of animals.
Pretty easy one actually, cowboy was the first thing I though of, so I typed in cowboy, narrowed it down to buy it now and newly listed, and looked for a listing with mostly lowercase letters and no picture. Tried one or two other listings, then saw "Extra-large black cowboy hat." I clicked on the listing, saw the "congratulations" banner, then just tried to click commit to buy before anyone else got to it. Then I spent a few days wondering if I had been scammed or if I had really won, and it finally sank in the day I got the money deposited into my paypal account. Thank you ebay! ...I'd also like to add that I had a great time reading the message boards while playing along, and I'm pretty sure I learned more about David Chu than I ever really needed to know.
