  • I got that also. Placed 5 opening bids on items that will sell for much more. Didn't want anything but that $5 was too easy to pass up.

    Yeah, I just bid $12 on a bunch of .99c Morgans lol. >>



    probably the same 5 Morgans I bid on.

    Boy, that is a strange promo. Ebay is running out of ideas.

    Do you guys think there is some sort of algorithm they used to select the few who would get the promotion, or do you think it was random?

    Same here...bid on 5 items and were outbid on all but one within the same day. Did I read it right that you could accomplish this daily?

    I think it's one of those scams from Nigeria.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

  • Takes 4 weeks to show up but long before you can spend them.

    I would have done the exact same thing.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
