Does that mean SA entrants can win more than once?
will they be up on their phone app as well..hidden?
To be clear, it says: "Contact seller via the Message button with the word Giftmas"
Thanks for that! I'dd add it into the post :)
people with similar items will be getting a lot of spam i reckon.
is this the right one for the first day
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-view-details.html?adId=1131172350nope
-quickly deletes msg to that guy-
this looks right this time haha.
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/west-perth/bicycles/giant-tcr-advanced-2/1131481625nope :)
Don't think the first one is up yet…
Yup :)
Edit: should read T&C's
It might not be as easy as refreshing most recent listings:
"The Listing may not appear as a “new listing” but could be an “existing listing” (which up to that point would have been a blank listing), as determined by the Promoter in its discretion."
Can you search for blank listings? ;)
Haha, "Not Giftmas. please stop messaging": http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/auburn/bicycles/2011-tcr-comp…
Edit: There's a few now doing that: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-sport-fitness/giftmas/k0c18314
Yea my first thought when i saw this was oh god people are gonna get spammed
I feel this is as bad, if not worse than the click frenzy fiasco… Who's going to search potentially for 8 hours???
This is worse haha
if you find the ad but it is not yet active, is there someway you can do something to alert you when it becomes active?
an auto-refresh extension in firefox/chrome should help?
refresh refresh refresh
dont kinow if i was quick enough but http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-city/bicycles/giant-tc…Send the message!!!
Nice work, good luck with your entry! Would be worth entering even if you don't win the bike for a second chance.
@thequickandthedead:
message sent before posting link here. fingers crossed that if i dont win the main prize that one of us wins the harley
Was it a normal picture on it when you found it, or had it changed to the special picture?
What did u search?
So it looks like the first ad was listed on 15/11/2016, maybe the others were around then too? I suppose they could easily change this though…
dammit i left my post to prep for the incoming hailstorm and missed it lol
The bike didn't show in the search results until after the ad had been posted both here and other sites so I'm guessing the strategy is to find the blank ads and refresh like a crazy person.
WINNER!
Congrats! No idea how you managed to find it so quickly!
It helps to have OCD. I actually won an iPad Air 2 in their competition two years ago and some low life stole it from my handbag while I was grocery shopping. This will make up for that :)
How will you fit a bicycle in your handbag? :p
Congratulations!
Top work! Congrats
So now you can't win anything else apparently? Unless out try something sneaky/creative.
Pretty happy with just one prize. I told hubby he needs to enter now but he won't sit there hitting refresh like I do. Maybe I could train my child and dog to do it?
That could work haha
Was the title Giftmas when you searched for it?
or was it something less obvious and they changed it after the win?
@porleng: nice, wonder if it had no picture on it when it was on "sale" as well or if thats just caching problems
@John Kimble: no picture but the tab (i think that is what it is called) had the name 'first day of christmas' or something similar and that is how i knew i had stumbled on the right page
@loulou1: What tab..? :O The page title? Since it shows 'Giant TCR Bike | Bicycles' etc on the cached page..
I was wondering how you knew it was the right one! Congrats.
@jennkei: so if you have multiple browsers open, one might say ozbargain (at the moment this one says win 1 of 12 various prizes…), one for hotmail says outlook.com, the one for gumtree page said first day of Christmas. Sorry, wish I knew e correct words.
Did you get it? because it doesnt load for me
I hadn't messaged yet but posted here instead. Strange that it is 404d now…
Edit, here is a rough picture of it: http://imgur.com/a/iykPZ
they must be updating it as it loaded ok for me
I couldn't load it, got a 404 error.
did u win? I think I did it pretty quickly too..
I just got a message saying that I did not win.. how did everyone else go?
Didn't win either :(
What time did you reply?
12.42.. but in my defence - I was encoding a video that was maxing out my cpu at the time it came up so I had to stop the video encoding first before I could do anything..lol
u?
The page basically 404d before I could submit a message and it's no longer available…
its still 404ing which is strange :(
its up now, can enter for second chance draw
Who is trying for today's prize? Not sure if it will be worth it as all the kiddies will be home trying to win this one & I'm sure that their reflexes will be faster than mine!
What should I search to find it?
I mean, who doesn't want a phone?
I personally don't want any icrap.. I would give it to someone I know or sell it if I win..
Any ideas?
Haha, sure…I don't know what to search tho!
the rules seem to have been updated to "Contact seller via the Message button with your surname"
Thanks flyingfox! I've updated the post :)
Mmmmm. Yeah. What should I search
dam.. just as I had to have a crap.. ;)
They must of changed the rules about it being listed as free. Maybe to stop people from refreshing the page sorted via the cheapest?
Yes.. I was searching in the free section too..
@ldstr - what did u search for?iphone7
seems they change it every day to keep people on their toes. I still search because even though I won day one I cant help but take my luck in entering for second chance draw. I think day one i got very lucky, right time right place kind of thing.
Any ozb's entering today?
I will when I can find it.
Or I could sell it to you after I win.. Then you can tell everyone that you won it ;)
I'd say game on, but my pages are loading really slow. You can win the thermoburn and I'll win the Harley ;-)
Some noticeable patterns:
First 3 prizes seem to be listed on the 15th November.
Listing numbers are also reasonably close:
1129857052
1129857646
1129856512No Thermomix yet, been two hours!
Scrolling through thermomixers so long I think I will have to set fire to it to work through my newly developed anger issues if I win.
Though I guess they set fire to people so fair's fair.

can you check the link, it doesn't work for me. Thanks
It goes offline for a bit (Im guessing they disable the ad for a while to stop the flood of entries or due to the influx clicks while they verify the winner) and then put the ad back online. Check later.
sent the msg…there were 29 views when I clicked on the ad :(
Good luck. When I won it said 300 and something views. It took them 45 minutes to let me know I was the winner.
Thanks loulou! And Congrats on your win. Good to know haha…I won't keep my hopes up but I noticed the pic (under my messages) has been changed to "found" but the listing not there anymore.
edit: no luck for me either
@loulou1 - That's interesting.. my thermomix just said 4 views so it means that I may be in with a chance!
http://imgur.com/a/yiKZmGood job! Out of curiosity what was the time on the message you sent?
NO LUCK FOR ME :(
Unfortunately, someone beat you to the punch. But don’t stress, we’ll add you to the second chance
draw for your chance to win a Harley Davidson! Remember to check back on Gumtree before 8pm AEDT 12/12/16 for the other daily gifts.
Have a Merry Giftmas!

"There is a limit of one (1) Entry permitted per Entrant per Listing (i.e. per day) and a limit of one (1) Daily Prize per Entrant (excluding SA Entrants)."
Does that mean you can only win ONE of the daily prizes? In which case it may be better to hold off for the car?
