So if I understand, you will be putting a really nice item for sale (like a sought after game, rare game, etc) and if someone manages to find the hyperlink to it, they can buy it?

But problem is, once a person finds it and does not want it, they could mention it to others and the secret will be out, no?

O_o

To bring everyone up to speed on this. About a year before starting the auction site I did a podcast/show with RetroGamingRadio.com where I would hunt down gaming items at the local So Cal swap meets and then make them available to our listeners for the same price I negotiated at the swap meets (this show was called Chasing The Chuckwagon). You can click here to see some of the items I found and sold over the past months here: http://chasingthechuckwagon.com/monthlychuckwagons.html

Basically, you never know what I will find or bury - I don't even know until I find the items. Some could be rare (like the boxed and wrapped NES Challenge of the Dragon I sold for $5) or some could just be decent prices on more common items like some of the systems we have up for sale sometime in December.

And I suppose if someone finds it, and doesn't want it they could reveal it, but why? The discoverer will be noted under each item so I am kind of hoping a competition evolves - who can discover the most items, type of thing. If it's a problem I will think about how to handle such an occurance.

For now we will see how it goes

Make the challenge incredibly HARD! Something to makes us sweat!

Sounds like fun. And - not to be a killjoy - but this post is to entice customers to your site, so I have moved it to Buying and Selling.

I will give everyone here a heads up. The first buried treasure will be the Turbo Grafx System. It will be hidden sometime from Dec 1st-3rd. It will go for $7 + $12 Shipping. Anywhere in the USA. International buyers will pay actual shipping.
