Welcome to the 8th Reward Challenge
Lil Survivor Scavenger Hunt!
Nicarong Tribe
Today's challenge is another group task. Each tribe gets to search the island bay(of EBAY) for any or all of the listed items. Search ebay and post or email the item number that you choose.
~*~*~*~RULES~*~*~*~
  • ITEM MUST MATCH THE LIST:
    The definitions and rules are fairly lenient. If the item is for example; a banana, then almost anything containing or including a banana would be allowed. Banana COLORED items would not count, but banana SCENTED items would, especially if they contained real banana (like a banana oil shampoo). a likeness or real banana would have to be involved. A stuffed banana, inflatable banana, banana photo, plate with a banana painted on it, banana peel jewelry, carved wax banana, glass banana, banana shaped waterpistol, all of those WOULD count. The hunted item can be in the photo and NOT the description or vice-versa. The hunted item can be a book about bananas, a painting by J.A. Banana. be creative.

    If an item is disallowed I will tell you asap and you will have one chance only to replace it, with a total of 5 replacements combined for the whole list. No replacements will be allowed once an item number has been posted/emailed UNLESS the item has been disallowed. Feel free to ask me questions to clarify before you pick an auction number. I'll be happy to answer any questions within reason.

  • AUCTION MUST BE CURRENTLY RUNNING.
    no ended auctions allowed so do not choose an item which will end before midnight central time.

  • ITEM MUST HAVE A CURRENT BID THAT MEETS RESERVE.
    there must be at least one bid on the item, and reserve must be met if it is a reserve auction. If a bid retraction takes place after the auction number is emailed/posted the item will still be valid since that is beyond any of our control. ditto if the seller ends the auction early or cancels a bid.

All players can participate, but by midnight tonight central time, have as many items as possible from the following list:
  • blanket
  • necklace
  • coconut
  • tangerine
  • net(ANY kind of net)
  • fishhook
  • umbrella
  • orchid
  • krispy kreme related item
  • potato (NOT couch potato)
  • sleeping bag
  • seashell
  • lei
  • binoculars
  • swimsuit
  • butterfly
  • fire related item(NOT related to ashes or burns)
  • barbie doll (no clones! barbie ONLY, not friends or family)
  • canoe (ANY canoe item, large or small, but NOT the perfume canoe)
  • map
  • oar
  • pig
  • monopoly game
  • waterfall
  • mosquito related item
  • torch(NOT torch-song related)
  • bat(the animal, not baseball!)
  • crab
  • balloon
  • rat
  • lizard
  • cage
  • fish(related to the animal, not fish-catching items)
  • dictionary
  • sunglasses
  • thermometer

Time is NOT important in this challenge, there is no advantage to solving earlier in the day...For each item off the list your tribe will get 1 point, BUT you will get an additional point for an item if at midnight central your chosen auction item has a higher current bid than that same list item chosen by the opposing team. If the amounts are exactly equal or you both choose the same auction number then no bonus is awarded for that item.

Feel free to chat and discuss this, but to submit a FINAL choice, just put the word "CHOICE=" and # of the auction you are choosing. Feel free to submit many at once or 1 or 2 at a time, BUT the first ones posted/emailed for any item off the list will be the official ones.

Good luck!

You arrive to find Gia standing there with big bags and 2 lists. There are tables set up for a treat, but nothing is set out yet. Gia smiles and says "Today is a scavenger hunt! divide the list however you want, have 1 or 2 players do it all, or give each player equal number of items, but read all the rules! because at midnight tonight I will count up all the points, and whoever has the most points will win an ice cream social for their tribe! all flavors of ice cream, cones, banan splits, chocolate syrup, everything cold and delicious, just for the winners!

Good luck!

"Sorry, I just wanted to take a peek at the challange but I have fruit to gather and won't be back till this evening. Just let me know how you want to split this up and which ones are mine. This looks like fun. I wish I could work on it right now. But I gotta go , the fruit are calling me. Good Luck"

07:50

Pierre

Hi I have been working on it why doesn't some one look over my list that I have done so far and double check it.

Here is what I have so far. This is not the official list.

Blanket #1604753822 Necklace #1604741535 Coconut #1150940513 Tangerine #1436009910 Net #1242620331 Net not mentioned in description but seen in one of the lower PICS Fishhook #1150926046 Fishhook not mentioned in description Umbrella #1242487240 orchid #1435111812 design on silver ware Krispy Kreme #1603193454 Potato #1150980991 Sleeping bag #1151137793 not listed in description seashells #1602998558 Seashells not mentioned in description. sea shells are drawn around oval. lei #1150966009 binoculars #1435391061 not listed in description swimsuit #1242719491 not listed in description Butterfly #1434305536 fire related item #591791686 Just cool!

10:44

Pierre

Here are the rest of them that I found. I am not saying they are the best and will not enter them for consideration until ya all look them over and give your ideas and things and give you a chance to find better ones.

canoe (ANY canoe item, large or small, but NOT the perfume canoe) #1151115050 map #1151533741 oar #1150627499 pig #1150967684 monopoly game #1604214552 waterfall #1150993441 mosquito related item #1242898618 torch (NOT torch-song related) #1603734155 bat (the animal, not baseball!) #1152065377 crab #1435382768 balloon #1242500173 rat #1603003456 lizard #1435309287 cage #1243592490 fish (related to the animal, not fish-catching items) #1151038409 dictionary #1435255583 sunglasses #1150409282 thermometer #1151689386

12:03

Gia starts setting the tables with glass sundae dises, long wide banana split bowls, and setting out lots of cones, sprinkles, jimmies, shreddded coconut, peanuts, even maraschino cherries! Gia says "We will wait til the last minit to bring out the ice cream, but there will be shakes, floats, cones, bars, and tons of fresh whipped cream!" She starts cutting bananas and fresh pineapple and strawberries to go on the sundaes.

1-3 ice cream desserts will be added to each player's belongings as the prize.

14:36

Meggie

"Wow Pierre you have been busy. I have not gotten a chance to even look before now but I will look at what you have and see if I can find any with bids higher. I can only stay about an hour and then I need to go back to camp until later tonite. If you guys want to wait til then to post that is fine with me. If not, its ok too. It doesn't seem like we need to rush."

14:40

Meggie

"Wow Pierre you have been busy. I have not gotten a chance to even look before now but I will look at what you have and see if I can find any with bids higher. I can only stay about an hour and then I need to go back to camp until later tonite. If you guys want to wait til then to post that is fine with me. If not, its ok too. It doesn't seem like we need to rush."

14:41

Meggie

Sorry about the double post. I guess I got nervous and hit it twice."

14:42

Meggie

I think the point of the challenge is to find items with the HIGHEST bid price. So far I have just done the first two and I have found higher bid prices for both. When we list our items, why don't we list the current bid price. That way whoever is checking them can check against the bid price."

"What I have found it the easiest way to do it is to do a search on the item name and then pick highest price first. Then you just have to go down until you hit one with a bid price and reserve met."

15:16

Meggie

"I have only done three so far. They are taking a really long time."

I have found a picture of a net on a catamaran. it is the sixth pic on the full explination page. # 1149657237 $1,326.01

18:25

from colleen

if you guys want to start officially choosing some to have me check, you won't be too short of time in case of disqualifications later tonight. remember, only 5 replacements allowed for the whole list in case of disqualifications of items. So that is something you want to take into account.

18:26

From Colleen:

just so there is no confusion, if an item is mentioned in the descriptionor shown in the pictures, it MUST be part of the auction for sale, not just mentioned in passing. It MUST be part of what is for auction. Also it must be in the information pictures on eay, not on any extraneous or subsidiary pages off of ebay.

21:04

Meggie

We still have a bunch to do guys and it seems we are all really busy today. I have copied all the ones we have to go to an email to Colleen. Since this is only the reward challenge I vote that we just use the ones we have from the choices after we realized that amount counts and not have to recheck them. Here are the ones we have left:

swimsuit butterfly fire related barbie doll canoe map oar pig waterfall mosquito related item torch bat crab balloon lizard fish

21:05

Aggie

"I'll do swimsuit. I like your idea Meggie and thanks for writing the e-mail to Colleen."

21:09

Inita

I compiled a master list of best choices so far based on what has already been posted. A better use of our time would be to check and make sure these are valid items and that they are the highest price. I would start with the items listed that have low prices.

Aggie

I'll do the 2nd 5

21:26

From colleen

just as one of you says "it's only the reward challenge," Gia walks in helped by 6 natives carrying boxes and boxes of ice cream! You see strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, double chocolate fudge, rocky road, cherry garcia, neapolitan, even chunky monkey! There are tons of toppings being set out, butterscoth, caramel, cherry sauce, and thick hot gooey fudge topping! Stomachs rumble and the thought of going back in the muggy heat to just another fish dinner might make you rethink the "it's only reward challenge" comment. tee hee hee!

21:27

Inita

tangerine auction ended! yikes!

Here is a valid entry for blanket #1603617160 bid $305.00;

Meggie - Are you saying these are items you already checked? Those are the same ones I just listed that need to be checked... wondering if we are overlapping efforts here.

Here is a valid entry for blanket #1603617160 bid $305.00;

21:40

From colleen

actually, it's a good thing the tangerine ended. tangerine was just the color of the box, and one of the rules specifically said banana colored wouldn't be accepted for banana. :) you guys are doing great! keep going and don't forget to make sure reserve has been met!

21:40

Inita

(sorry to keep posting the blanket info. LOL!)

21:42

Meggie

Yes Inita, please can you look further up on the page and you will see a bunch of my entries with amounts too. My blanket entry has a bid of $445.00 which is higher than the $300 bid. The only items not done at all are BAT< CRAB< BALLOON< LIZARD < and FISH and I would appreciate you looking up BARBIE DOLL too. Thanks,

21:44

Inita

Thanks Colleen. That is what is worrying me about the previosly posted auctions! I don't trust them now that some have ended and others are invalid. Ugh!

21:44

Inita

Meggie - I am still trying to find tangerine. Are you keeping the master list of auctions?

21:46

Meggie

All the ones I entered have auctions ending after tonite and all have high numbers. Please do try some of them but we also need the ones I just mentioned done. Here are some more done: waterfall#1243531559 bid$750 mosquito related#1435511551 bid$1651.76 TORCH#1243472465 bud$2146.98

22:27

Trey

lizard Item #1604040832 $561.00

22:28

Meggie

We should definitely switch Treys barbie doll for mine because mine just had Barbie not doll. I don't know about the bat ones tho. The higher one is about a batmobile which doesn;t really deal with the animal itself. What do you think? I need to go. You guys have the whole list so please go to it. I will check back later to see if you need me anymore but it seems like you guys are doing great..

22:29

Inita

I have a problem with this item: butterfly#1434305536 bid$967.99 It has ended.

22:30

Meggie

I don't know Inita, she didn;t specify a real map and map lights have to do with reading a map. What do you all think? I'm glad you are checking them. thanks

22:30

Trey Trey

I gave fish but decided not good be right back

22:31

Inita

I have a problem with this item:barbie doll#1243864168 bid$1480 this one does not say barbie doll just barbie??? It is for an outfit, not a doll. The auction has to include the item, not just list the words in teh description.

Trey Be right back,having technical difficulties.

22:42

Lolli

Hi...okay...everyone that I have, someone already has one! soooo...is there any of the items that you want me to look for??

22:43

Inita

OK. Now that everythign is completely confused - everyone stop what you are doing. Let's get organized and help each other here.

The list Meggie just posted continues to have errors and invalid entries. We cannot keep going in circles trying to validate. I have kept a running list and have been checking them off and on as new ones are posted.

Inita

Trey is on the right track finding better ones to replace the ones we have. Also, the entire list should be double checked just to be sure the auction is running for the item listed.

22:46

Lolli

I have to agree with Inita guys...okay...I bow to your organizational skills :) which have GOT to be better than mine!!! Lead me oh sweet one :)

23:02

Lolli

okay...soooo, the first 10 are checked??

23:04

Meggie

I'm glad you guys are checking the items but some of them are much higher bid prices than your ones Inita. Check fishhook#1602220431 which has a bid price of $260.55 There is nothing wrong with that one. It is a fishhook clasp. And also the blanket stitching should be ok too. Ms Colleen said that anything using the item would be ok like a painting by Mr. Banana for banana. What do you guys think. I am too tired to keep going so whatever you decide is fine with me. I just don't want you to throw all of the items out because Inita wants to invalidate ALL of them. SOme of them are good ones. I went fast and sorry I made mistakes, like the rest of us do. Please check them. It only takes a minute to look up the item numbers on the ebay search. Thanks guys.

23:04

Lolli

where should I start checking at??

23:05

Inita

Meggie - I am not invalidating all of the items you listed. I am going back and looking at them all...

23:06

Inita

Lolli - please start checking the list with sleeping bag.

COLLEEN - We need clarification on the rules, please. Is fish-hook clasp allowed? Is blamket stitch allowed? Help.

23:10

Trey

Please don't argue, we are ALL tired it is past my bedtime, I want to help. just let me know what to do, but I only have about 15 minutes. Someone tell me what I should check.

23:12

Trey

"i'll do the next 5 starting with butterfly'

23:14

Inita

Trey - we're not arguing. But we definitely have different interpretations of the rules. I don't think that the mention of the key word in the auction is sufficient. It seems that it has to be context specific. If the item is a blanket, then the auction item should have a blanket, literally. I hope Colleen can clarify for us. (Please.)

23:18

Lolli

Okay guys...on the sea shell one...this is a sea shell slip shade light...I think that one had better be checked...I'm not sure what the requirements are...does it have to be an actual sea shell...is this made out of real sea shells??

23:21

Lolli

I checked from sleeping bag to swimsuit...and other than the one I already mentioned (sea shell), that is the only one that I have a question about! I will start on the next ones after the five that Trey is working on!

23:26

Inita

Here is some clarification: "the list of things, for each thing it has to tangibly be part of the item being sold...even if it is just painted on as a decoration... if the word is just being used as background, or to describe the item, that would not qualify. "

So the decoration items count - they are the items, whether natural or created. I hope this helps.

23:27

Inita

Lolli - great! We are almost through checking since I started from the bottom and am up to lei.

23:28

Inita

Ooops! I just realized that we are done checking.

23:29

Lolli

okay...just double check me on this one...since the sea shell shade represents/looks like a sea shell...it is acceptable?? is that right??

23:29

Pierre

I spoke with Colleen today and she said as long as an item was pictured on the main ebay page it counts it does not have to be in the description or title. Just in the picture is fine.

23:30

Inita

OK gang! We have a full set of valid entries now. We can improve on those if we want or take them as is. Is anyone still looking for better ones?

23:30

Pierre

I say go with what we got. To find out if any are refused. that gives us a chance to check for more.

23:35

Inita

Lolli - yes, the seashell decoration is sufficient to count for the item. I definitely feel better listing things that are pictured clearly rather than items that are listed in the description. I think we have a good set of answers to send in... Any objections? I'll wait about 10 more minutes...

23:36

Trey

"Of the 6 I just checked, the only one I question is butterfly - I did find one totally valid #1436568196 for $411.68 can someone check the original one and see it was a butterfly filagree ring. what do ya think?

23:37

from colleen

clairifcation, you misunderstood pierre, it counts in the picture ONLY if it is included with what is being sold and is a part of the item auctioned. just being in the background doesn't count. I cannot approve the items unless you make them final choices, BUT the best guideline to follow is asking "is this an integral part of the item being auc5tion?" banana colored is NOT allowed, art by Banana is because it is by it's fundamental nature a Banana work of art.. items with a banana painted on them are valid, items described as banana-like are nopt. banana colored monitors are not eligible,

23:37

Inita

Trey - ooh! That is pretty. The filigree ring is in the design of a butterfly, but it isn't as obvious as the comb you just posted. I will go either way without worries....

23:39

Pierre

I miss spoke I am sorry Colleen I am not always good with english I meant to say that. I am sorry if I confused any one.

23:39

Lolli

check this one really quick!!! the waterfall one! It doesn't have a picture of it! It is just mentioned in the auction...or..was it, if it is pictured and not mentioned or vice versa!!!

23:39

from colleen

if the listed thing is used as an adjective to describe something else it is allowed ONLY if it fundamentally defines that thing, ie; a banana bicycle seat is fundamentally different from other bike seats so that would count for banana, but a dog toy on a table next to a banana is only allowed if the banana is mentioned as being included in the auction...

you can always ask me to validate for you and you get 5 total replacements for invalidated items.

23:40

Trey

"I say we go with the butterfly comb instead of the butterfly filigree ring. it isn't that big a difference in price. Other than that I say go for it, turn them in."

23:41

Inita

Lolli - good eye. This is one of those where it is listed in the description that the resort for which the auction is for includes a pool with a wterfall. Do you have a suitable substitute?

23:42

Lolli

not yet! give me a few minutes!

23:44

Inita

Trey - I agree. Butterfly comb - any objections to switching from teh ring to the comb?

23:44

Inita

waterfall - 1150993441, $270.79. Can anyone find something better?

23:46

Trey

I think the waterfal is good. It is at the resort you are bidding on. It it would have said there is a waterfall in Hawaii, I would have questioned it. JMHO

23:47

Pierre

Go with it. We are taking too long to get this done. Colleen needs to verify everything and get back with us. If we wait much longer we are going to be out of time. She can't check all of thse in just 5 minutes it will take a while to do.

23:48

Lolli

waterfall # 1150993441 $270.79 it's a picture of a waterfall...

23:50

Pierre

I have gotten to know you all they are probably right but if there are a few mistakes it can be caught and we can correct them. But i doubt there will be any mistakes.

23:50

Inita

So which is it?! Shall we turn them all in and see which ones are rejected?

23:50

Trey

I'm with Pierre, we still have immunity challange tomorrow and I have worked on this for over 3 hours and everyone else longer.

23:51

Lolli

you beat me to it! :) sounds good! submit it to Colleen, so we can check any that are oopss! before we have to go to bed!!!

23:52

Inita

Lolli - great minds think alike! ;-) Are we changing the waterfall item from the resort to the picture?

23:52

Inita
