Refreshing every 30 seconds or so and it didn't show up until 3:39

When I clicked on it, it said it was listed 33 mins ago. Also refreshing every 30s.
Yea I think they probably made the listing as something else and then edited it to be the giftmas listing.
How did you even find it? By the time I scroll through loads of pages of thermomixes then refresh the search to start again I have no hope!!
Just keep refreshing, zoom out on the page and look for the orange pic.
But if it's not a recent listing, like from weeks ago? Do you just show 50 ads at a time and keep clicking back and forwards?
Pretty much. There's no hard and fast way of searching … yesterday I missed the iphone I was going by free price.
yeah me too, maybe another strategy needs adopting
I was keeping track of the number of items listed for my thermomix search. Any time it changed I would do a full scan of all the pages, otherwise I would just keep refreshing page 1.
I was doing that for searches of "thermomix" and "tm31" in case they decided to be sneaky. But it must have slipped through the cracks, I didn't see it.
Someone on facebook reckons she sent her message at 3.34pm.. I call bs as my message was sent at 3.36pm & the ad only had 4 views when i saw it..
Yeah mine was sent at 3.36pm. However, she just stated on FB that she didn't win it!
how many views did the ad have when u saw it?
I was wondering how fair it is…surely the less views means your chances of winning are better? I sent at 12.36pm (perth time) had 29 views but you had 4 views.
@adski looks like you won't be selling me a thermoburn then ;-)
I can't even get the ad to enter the 2nd chance draw
The u won't have a Harley to swap me anyway..lol
:p
Mimco bag tomorrow…I dislike the brand but will still go for it just coz haha.
Just wanted to confirm that we all sent the msg with our surnames?
I think so.. I was not sure so I used ur surname instead ;)
Previously wasnt it first to reply with Giftmas?
Look like it's up again if anyone once to enter the 2nd chance draw - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbourne-cbd/blenders-juicer…
Only 160 views as well!
there was only 118 when I reposted the link which I thought was strange.. maybe no one wanted the thermomix..
I expect that the crappy $150 bag tomorrow will not see many hits either..
Guess no one is going for the bag today? I don't want to waste a win on it
ditto ~ Bring on the PS4! or outdoor dining set or car!
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/darwin-cbd/bags/mimco-bag-/11… todays listing if anyone wants entry for second chance
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/darwin-cbd/bags/mimco-bag-/11…
Edit: Looks like someone already posted the linkBag has been and gone
Does anyone have a screenshot of what today's looked like before it was won?
Who is in today?
I am but i need to go to the toilet… DILEMMA!
haha.. last time I did that I missed out (read my prev posts!)..
I went! No one won yet?
Nothing yet, anyone else?
Haven't seen it yet..
Nothing I have seen
Just recovered from a 10 min internet outage..lol
Nothing found yet so you're in luck!
awesome
Are you guys just refreshing the page then scrolling through the results? Wondering what the best strategy is
@edd91:
Pretty much at this stage that's all I do.
I roughly search for what is listed in the item info from the t's & c's@edd91: Just do a search to try to find the prize. If your happy with ur search & think that the prize will eventually show up there, then just keep refreshing the search results page.
@thequickandthedead: or go to the toilet!
u will see on the news tonight - people dying of starvation & dehydrating due to gumtree's xmas competition..
F5, F5, F5, sigh, and repeat.
Let me help you.
If on Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-refresh/ifool…
Firefox also has a similar extension - just google 'auto refresh'
Are you a wizard? Thanks!
Just out to help save index fingers!
now it can be sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh, and repeat instead!
ssh ;)
geeze u must have sore fingers by now..lol
It's more of a morale problem lol.
Maybe we should start taking bets on whether it will be listed as free or a specific price…
Problem still is that it could show up anywhere in the list of many hundreds of sony tv's
True. 3 hours down….
Ok, we've gone over the previous longest post (Thermomix). Wonder when this one will end…
Damn it! I need to pee
haha i know the feeling!
Got a bottle handy? lol
That would require me moving away from the computer! I see what you are trying to do ;-)
Wonder how much ad revenue they are generating off all these page refreshes from people without adblockers
I guess they're hoping
up to $50,623.00.
Probably need a bit extra to pay compensation for all the people selling similar items that get spammed up to death
Should have connected my second monitor so I could have at least watched youtube and kept up my morale
I have 3 laptops + desktop searching - no time for youtube!
How do you scroll through them all?? I'm not sure that's more efficient
either zoom out so u can see everything or limit the search results
Wow you guys are way more hardcore than me! Makes my efforts pale in comparison haha.
So what are the keywords people are searching for the TV?
just searching sony tv
yawn
Yup… to be fair the longer it goes on the higher our chances are.
Only the strong shall survive
God help any poor soul who posts an ad for a Sony Bravia 50" TV right now haha
Urge to troll post rising
4 hours down. Potentially another 4 to go!
We're half way! Congratulations everyone! Lol
It's too late to give up now…
STAND STRONG COMRADES!!!
Winner!!!
(just joking - keep trying guys!)
about to give up lol
Already found and messaged…
Edit (thanks for the neg vote, just got excited)
Here's proof: http://imgur.com/a/uCqID
What was the text of the ad? Do you have a screenshot of the actual ad
The description of the ad was the same as in the t&c's with the title being Sony Bravia TV
good work! Hope you got it!!
congrats on your win
Interesting, thanks loulou1! Did they email you or message you via gumtree messaging?
I seen the listing with '31 minutes ago' listed. When i clicked on the ad it had no view rankings..

Edit: No bingo, got a message from Gumtree saying someone 'beat you to the punch'
Ah well, second chance draw it is!
