Win a prize every day until Monday 3 January 2005.
The promotion
Every day during the promotion, which will last from Monday 6th December 2004 until Monday 3rd January 2005, there will be at least one free prize hidden on eBay.co.uk.
These prizes will be hidden throughout the site and will not necessarily be listed in their usual category. They will be able to be found by guessing the answers to clues which will be announced for each prize. Clues will be announced each day on the Christmas Treasure Hunt Home Page, at http://www.ebay.co.uk/treasurehunt, throughout the site and also by special announcements including in newspapers and on the radio.
The first person to find and "buy" the item will receive the prize. Each item will be offered by a different User ID. Whatever the apparent price of an item, its description will make clear that the prize winner will not be obliged to pay that price and the item will be free of charge.
