Default Ebay Treasure Hunt

Well Ebay is finally going crazy...

They are having a treasure hunt where they give out clues, and you have to find the ebay item that matches with it. It's worth $1,000 if you are the first to find it. They have 25 clues per day and the contest is running from Feburary 15-23 everyday giving away $25,000. Thought because of President's day on the 21st they will be doubling the prizes.

Maybe we can win something if we stick together and act fast enough :-P

It's very interesting! Too bad for me that I cannot participate in this program, since I'm not American.

actually had the idea from a movie called "October Sky" with a bunch of kids building rockets in CoalWood - West Virginia

Sadly I didn't find anything under there, but 3 times I have found the clues before anyone but hadn't seen any listings. I think theres something with capital letters and such or you need at least two words int he search query in order to find it.

Still no one has found the Home of the Rocket Scientists

So the answer was IBM Mainframe Server... I guess thinking of 2001 Space Odyssey where they reffer to IBM as being their super smart computer. Come to think of it though we pretty much have everything they thought was incredible like the chairs and video phones, minus the living in space part..

Ill have to watch that movie again
