Round One: Challenge

Jan 01, 2015 17:00

Welcome players to the first challenge of Season Two!

As with all challenges, if you have any questions please feel free to comment or private message me.  I will always try to get back to you as soon as possible.

This challenge is called, "Bargain Hunter".

Below you will see a list of 15 items.   This challenge requires you to search online for places to buy these items.  Once you have found all the items you must comment on this entry (comments are screened) with the 15 links to where each item is for sale and what price you have found for the item.   Of course, you are not expected to purchase any items, just provide links to where they can be purchased.

The winner of the challenge will be the player who has found all 15 items for the LOWEST overall cost.   So be mindful to search for where you might be able to find an item for a cheaper price because if you are the winner you will be given a reward which may aid you in the game.

The player who has found all 15 items for the cheapest price will be the winner and will be safe from elimination.    The player who finds all 15 items for the most EXPENSIVE price, although they will not be named the winner of the challenge will also still be safe from elimination.   So that is one strategy you could go for, attempting to find the MOST expensive items.

The player who will be eliminated will be the player who finds the least amount of items.   If all players find all 15 items, the eliminated player will be the player who found the second most expensive items.

[x]Rules - Please read carefully[x]
  • Challenge time restraint: 1 week (January 8th 17:00 AEDT)  Handy link to world clock to help convert to your personal time zone if you are interested - CLICK HERE.   If all players respond before that time, the results will be posted earlier.
  • You can only comment with your answers ONCE.  You can not add to or edit your answers once you have commented.  So take the time to make sure you are happy with your answers before you submit them.
  • If you cannot find all 15 items you can still comment with your answers.  If somebody has found one less than you then you will still be safe so it is worth the try.
  • Only real shopping website will count.   Auction sites such as eBay or similar other sites will count only if it is a fixed (buy now) price.
  • I will not include postage costs in the total.
  • Since the majority of players are from the US, I will convert all prices to US dollars.  You are still able to provide links to sites with other currency if you wish, I will convert it when I add up totals.
  • Items do not need to be new.  Items can be secondhand, even with damage will still be allowed.  For example, the 'Tickle me Elmo' does not necessarily need to be in working order, so long as it is still a 'tickle me Elmo'.    If buying secondhand, just keep in mind that personal ads such as on facebook etc would not count, sites such as ebay would only count if there is a 'buy now' option, not an auction.
