Ebay Treasure Hunt
 

Anyone looked at this? EBay is giving away 25 $1000 prizes per day by hiding the prizes in items on the site. They post a clue and the item somehow relates to that clue. Figured some of our puzzlers might be interested.

I've seen it but every time I check the item has already been found.

There are a few unsolved clues. However, I'm thinking they are so obsure, they are unsolved for a reason.

The new one is obviously a big bird reference, but that is so vague - I don't know where to start!

I've been searching for a few of them.. but I look at the list of hints, and then look at the actual answers and I'm boggled as to how the clue actually has anything to do with it.

Agreed...there are a few that make sense, at least a little, but the others are such a stretch...

ebayers scare me.

What the...


a movie, Dakota city = Franciscan Piggy Bank ???

Geez,

Associated with the Graduated Federal income tax = Valentine's Roses

And that was only solved when the added a hint, "(Hint: What else started during Woodrow Wilson's Presidency, by him . . . or His first lady?)"

I don't see how anyone could have come up with;

Associated with the Graduated Federal income tax = Woodrow Wilson = his first wife = person who started the Rose Garden.

at least "a movie, Dakota city = Franciscan Piggy Bank" now makes sense with Fargo being a city in Dakota = Wells Fargo = bank.
