Domino's is selling high-valued products for $9.99 every day. All you have to do is solve the clue, search for it, and buy it now, and it's yours. Today they're giving away Mac Laptops, worth over $1500. And I just got so ridiculously close to getting one that I'm sick!!!! I actually found the listing, clicked on it, and as I clicked on it, it became sold!!!!

they give away five per day during a certain time span...you have to already have ebay and PayPal set up to win, because you have to buy it now for a total cost of 9.99! I'd tell you guys how I found the listing, but I don't want to hurt my own chances!!!

so have they already given away all 5 for the day? I'm not making any sense of the words that are supposed to come out of this thing.

no, there are still some that will be released in the next couple of hours or so...they release them one at a time, then take some time between releasing the next one...you have to use the clues and make it like wheel of fortune for today's clue...use the hints, and start plugging letters in and see what you come up with...all of them have to do with stuff that dominos is known for

no...all of the letters stand for other letters...you have to figure out what letters each other letter stands for...I did it by taking a piece of paper and writing blanks, then filling in the blanks with the letters they give you.

don't know about that...the clue yesterday was released at like 9:45 pm...everyday they do the game at a different time, and they don't list new products for a while after the first one has been found...I'm guessing within the next couple of hours, all five will be gone.

crzyjournalist03

If any of you are wondering how hard/easy it is to buy if you find the item, the first one was listed for 14 seconds before it was bought.

crzyjournalist03
01-09-2007, 03:02 PM
hmm...it's now been over an hour since the previous listing...i wonder when the next one is???

So, I think I'll sell a few thumb tacks as "the clue" for 9.99. I bet I could sell a lot.

I'm not sure how many they gave away before I found one, but I've been hitting refresh ever since I have and haven't found another...and the one I found wasn't long after the clue was posted, so I'm assuming they've given away three at the absolute max.

If you search completed items, they've only given away 1.

Click the advanced search and it gives you the option to search completed items. Very handy.

here's another interesting tidbit...if you look at some of the past listings, products usually are listed at even time intervals...so once the second one is listed, you should be able to predict the time that the third one will be listed!!!!

AggieJohn
01-09-2007, 03:49 PM
not necessarily, but there does seem to be a method to the listers madness

crzyjournalist03
01-09-2007, 03:51 PM
Dang...I've got to head out in about fifteen minutes...if they don't list another one by 3, I'm hopeless!!!!

the question a couple of days ago was "how many slices does each man, woman, and child, eat on average in a year?" The answer was 46...that seems pretty low to me!

I've had 32 in one sitting once.

I dunno...most of the other listings were sold about every fifteen minutes...Maybe they listed one really early, and they'll list the other four every fifteen minutes for an hour???

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!!!!

They just listed one and I was in Paypal checkout and someone else checked out just before me!!!!
