We'll see how i go but it was a similar situation to loulou1's - I had a tab open on a tv I searched a while ago and noticed the title change :S
Edit: I can't view the ad anymore but it had like 2000 views :(
Well good luck!
a tv you searched a while ago? how does that add up
@ldstr:
Like loulou, i found an unlisted ad with the title of the page 'Sony Bravia TV'. I figured the ad must've been listed around the same date as other prizes (15th Nov) so decided keep it open on the off chance something changed, and it did. Hope this helps?
Good luck :) I get distracted on fb for a few minutes and this happens…
I missed out :( And the waiting game begins…good luck to those who managed to send their messages through.
OMG I won!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve found today’s hidden gift! Simply reply to this message within 2 days and

Have a Merry Giftmas!
Team GumtreeCongrats!
Congrats :)
Congratulations! That was fast confirmation too, that's nice.
Thanks, yeah it was! I was running around the house trying not to get my hopes up!
Well done!
Congratulations! Definitely not an easy feat considering there's only one prize per day!!
Congrats!
Congratulations! :)
Wow, that's awesome.. Congrats!
well done!! :D
Anybody going for the guitar today?
Not me, nope.
I will only have a brief look between work.. Not really interested in a guitar tbh.
Me too. I keep forgetting to check
I need to actually do some work today but I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how it's goes :)
I think I have the links for the guitar, ring and outdoor setting
And I doubt I'm the only one
Care to share?
Share? how?
do you mean a link directly to the listing? or to the search? I mean, if you click the link, would you then need to click to open the ad? or would you just need to click to message the seller?
The listings
I'll see how it goes today, see how my skills are
It's not like I have anything here to monitor changes on that page, so I'm at a disadvantage manually refreshing lol
For obvious reasons I won't share
if ur manually refreshing then u deserve to win!
@Spackbace - Why don't you tell us last number of the item id so we can confirm that you found it when it comes up. That way we know u are not bs..
@Spackbace: that can easily be faked.. need to post at least 1 digit of the item number (any of the last 4 will do) so we can verify it later..
1471 posts / 14615 comments
And you're calling me out for lying?
Mate I couldn't care whether you think I'm bs-ing or not, I really don't.
And item number adds up to 58
@Spackbace: u obviously care otherwise why would u be trying to brag about it..lol 1 digit out of the last 4 numbers or ur full of bs.
Can confirm item number adds up to 58, 4th last digit is a 9
@Spackbace: Can you show us the screenshot? Just wanna see what it was like before it became active.
Just something along the lines of 'this ad is unavailable and has been removed from search'
I thought he meant the link to the listing before it gets edited into a giftmas ad?
Edit: Let us know how you go :)
I've got them too but I also had the Mimco bag one and Gumtree pulled a swifty and started a new ad lol. I expect they'll do the same today but I'm hanging out for the outdoor setting just in case.
Yeah figured it would be too good to be true, but worth a shot lol
Give it a crack, you never know. I'm hoping it still works, you can have the guitar if I can have the outdoor setting!
Did they remove the "original" ad?
Yes, it had the "Giftmas" photo and everything.
why would you tell everyone, literally just ruined your chance of winning
Were you able to narrow it down with the item specifics? or did you just search manually through the thousands of guitars?
Another way. But again, gotta see if it comes to fruition or not
I have a feeling you may have the same link as me
I wonder what size the ring is. You reckon they'll tell me if I ask? Resizing rings is a bother, but then I probably won't win so maybe I won't bother asking.
")
thank god at least with ozbargain we will know that it is found so we can stop looking
anyone else finding that things are disappearing and reappearing between refreshes?
an item at the top of my search only shows up about 50% of the time when i refresh.No, but we could have different searches. Gumtree slow to load now though.
And now I'm getting the odd "No results found"
Guitar been found yet?
Don't think so.
nope
wow, really stringing people along today. Don't fret i'm sure it'll pop up soon. Sorry!
that sounds like a dad joke if ever i heard one
Are you amped for todays prize?
Why does todays have to be running so late :(
Indeed, I feel like I'm one of the lucky ones as well, I didn't start looking until 2:30 or so, feel bad for those of you that started at 12.
Been pretty lucky as I haven't been diligentlydiligently refreshing. But I bet it'll go off the next time I step away from my desk.
I miss the simpler days of clickfrenzy
Does anyone know what timezone it is in nsw or qld?
AEDT
2 more hours to go :/
Awesome im getting tired of refreshing .thanks for that
The worst part is not even knowing if it will show up in your search, like it could be listed as "G&L ascari GTS tribute", it could just be listed as "guitar".
Did you get a msg in? I didn't even get the chance!
Already not available by the time I saw it :(
Me neither!
Beat me to it
Yeah I did but my internet was slow as so I'll miss out, was probably up for a minute before I got in
Thats weird, I was refreshing quicker than that
I was refreshing every 10 - 15 seconds and it only just popped for me when you linked it here. But the same thing happened to me with the thermomix, had the right search going but it didn't even show for me until it had been live for over 3 mins.
Msg button came up again, I tried anyway lol
Edit and didn't win ah well
Literally had 10 seconds max T_T
it says its not available already?
EDIT: the page loaded to where I could read the description but didn't load properly so there was no message button for me :( and then on the refresh it was unavailable.
Well it's gone.
Well the ring - item number adds up to 34
Outdoor setting - item number adds up to 52I managed to get a message in, let's see how I go.
I searched ascari and was refreshing like an idiot for 5mins on the iPhone and it popped up .. I clicked and it instantly said it was no longer available. Must've been 1 to 2 seconds. Rigged.
Yep no good here, stupid Belong internet!
Damn :/
It's ok, I want the outdoor setting anyway :P
Messaged at 6:24pm, no win.
Mine was 6:17pm, no win either :'( Gotta be fast it seems!
How do you tell, do they send you an email?
Usually they gumtree msg you back
Thanks for the closure! Back to life now.
