Starting Wednesday 10/5, we will start the "Needle in a Haystack" contest. Each hunt will have 3 needles to find in the haystack of 20000 listings at Quest for Bids. I will begin with a clue for each one, and each day until the needle is found I will post another clue. Each one will have a prize attached. I will email all active members to let everyone know when it begins!  |

First 3 needles in the haystack are ready to go! Here's how it works... I've placed this picture in 3 auctions on the site. If you find the picture in the listing with the clues and post here first, you win the prize listed beside it! I will be buying the prizes, so sellers don't worry  Edited to add:
The clues are for words in the title of the auction, so I should have clarified that...Needle 1: Find it and win this item! Hint #1, A favorite sweet treat this time of year Needle 2: Find it and win this auction! Hint #1, a Japanese tradition Needle 3: Find it and win any item from the seller under $6 (excluding shipping) Hint #1, Reagan was President Good luck, and I will post a second hint on Thursday morning! This is the picture you are hunting: |

I planted the picture in 3 different listings. By the 5th clue it will be clear, but each clue gets you closer if you can guess what it is. The clues are for words in the title of the auction, so I should have clarified that... |
