NOT luck, NOT random; you are just bad at the game...

[nmedtner]

To all of the people who think all of these prizes are being "stumbled upon,": you're wrong.
To those who insist that the answers make "no sense": you're unintelligent.

Yeah, it's hard, and I don't think I'll find one either, but for free money, you'll need some luck and some smarts. Get over it.

Mom, Misty et al: read the entire thread.
And generally:
This isn't what you all are making complacent's comments out to be; I'm not joining the bitching fray. My argument is simply that there is a sense/logic to the clues. Some people are saying that there isn't. I think they're wrong and that, to say so, they must lack the ability to apprehend the sense/logic employed.

In reference to the comment about how ebay sucks, I have a question: If it sucks, then why are you a member? 😛

[nmedtner]

adp - exactly 🙂

I love this game....sometimes I forget all about the other half of my brain. It's amazing the stuff you can remember when your imagination is sparked. It's kind of fun. Thanx ebay!!

[redduckbooks]

The only one I got close on was the George Forman Grill and then I spelled it wrong in the search-what an idiot!!! oh well My brain is gone after work

You know what --just becuase somebody gets mad becuase of these clues--it does not mean you can call them unintelligent. That is part of any game--fustration!! That is what these chat rooms are for to work it out, talk to others, and even VENT! So STOP name calling!

[msshark166]

I have to agree with mom4255 have you never been frustrated about something and complained to anyone that would listen? No some of these auctions haven't been figured out by the higher intelligence and have just been stumbled on but sheesh ppl... There is NO need for name calling in this... if you don't have anything nice to say shutup... Manners ppl Manners....

Reason for vague clues:
So users will search and 'visit' thousands of pages across the board and drive up viewing numbers.

[markandjeff3]

i agree with nmedtner, these clues and answers are all connected! And for all you who think the clues are too hard, obviously you weren't here yesterday when answers were found in less than a minute and then you had to wait another hour for the next clue. nmedtner for president! CHU for VP!

[coynecreations]

I dont think he is calling people unintelligent because they are complaining, he is saying that because they are saying things dont make sense, I'm no genius but after I see answers there is a logic behind the clues, its hard but if I were giving away $300,000 in a few days I would make it hard also..And the reference to the person who said ebay was giving clues to family members, there are only 2 people on ebay who know clues and answers, so I highly doubt they would do that, if their family needed a grand Im sure they would just hand it to them...And I do agree the bitchin needs to stop, do you have the right to bitch?..sure ya do BUT obvioulsy heres where the unintelligent comes in ...I see the same ID's bitchin on every post over and over, waaaaaaaa I cant win...well maybe instead of starting a new bitch thread (i think theres 100s already) why dont you go try and search, theres unanswered clues there...why arent you winning...CAUSE YOUR IN HERE BITCHIN

[mom4255]

All I am saying is if I want to complain about it-don't call me names. I do think the clues are a big joke
They have random associations. But everything could have random associations, depending on who is making up this nonsense! Flute=Music=Tina Turner
Good Luck to all who are still trying! I am tired of searching!

[coynecreations]

Oh BTW good luck;-)

Everyone's mind works different. I can't see the geometry in a pool game nor can I do anagrams. Other people can. It's forcing me to think outside of the box (of my own thoughts). And ebay is getting people to look at alot of things they normally wouldn't. It's a Marketing Strategy. They're willing to spend all these thousands of dollars in the hope that while searching for the clue, you might see something you want.
Though, I would like a board that gives the line of thought that went from clue to listing title. No.67 "I thought I saw..." I can see the line to the Looney Toons. But No.68 "The woman who changed a nation" going to a VW front emblem. I don't see it.

[mom4255]

I find it truely funny how there are so many people bitchin about other people bitchin...take your own advice
